May also depend on where the lamb is from. We find regional lamb is fattier but has a milder taste (I like the flavour of lamb/mutton, not one to shy away because of it) but is fattier but Australian lamb is leaner but has a stronger taste. Unfortunately no Patagonian lamb where I am.

It could be cooking methodology as well. I shred mine, take a half/third and pulse that even further.... then combine the two with the baby shrimp and chinese sausage. Then steam it (I did say labour intensive)... then when ready to eat, cut it into small chunks and stir fry with shrimp and chye poh... Sprinkle with spring onions and drizzle either chili oil or siracha... At least that's how I like mine if I have to make it myself (vs. the dim sum places). The steaming part is where it causes the whole house to smell. I suspect if I were to boil it, the smell might not be there or might not be too strong. But the texture would definitely be different..

Masala dosa to start. And then chicken biryani |

I shred mine through the food processor, simmer it in some water in a wok before adding corn starch and putting it in a vessel and then steaming it. Can't say I notice any offensive smell from doing this. Usually just have chinese sausage (available through the large discount supermarket but then they do own T&T) and rarely spring onions (never seem to have any around the house when I need it). I use chye poh for other stuff. I was watching a CGTN show a few weeks ago and there is one place that lets the stuff cure/age for 20 years(!)

Last night, visiting friends near the WI/IL border. They took us to the "armpit of Wisconsin" for dinner (I won't shame it by naming it), because the city has revitalized a couple blocks down town with nicer shops, bars, and restaurants. Actually quite pleasant as long as you don't leave those 2-3 blocks. Rooftop bar for an old fashioned before dinner, and then a trendy taco place across the street. 4 street size tacos for $15 - for me, one each of short rib, surf & turf (steak and shrimp), Korean beef, and fish. The short rib and Korean were delicious, the others were fine but not memorable.
Tonight we'll try the first halibut from our Sitka Shares box, probably sauteed in a lemon caper sauce. My wife is making a lasagna to freeze and bring to Michigan when we go back this week. Going to be hard to think about fish while Italian sausage is cooking... |

just the idea that it’s 4 tacos for $15 tells us that you’re in a great place. Usually tacos are $2 each when lucky. These are practically Tacolicious, SF prices. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1480940fd1.png |

Which place? I’ve been all over WI from Hayward/minong to Green Bay and below, and any WI armpit is still nicer than much of Chicago / San Francisco at our worst :-). The tacos sound great. Ultimately it’s the toppings that make an impact :-)

A friend dropped off some homemade baked ziti yesterday which I didn't eat because I was already cooking branzino. But I get to have it tonight and it is delicious.
