The only "Good Thing" yesterday was dinner and it shouldn't have been,since it was just leftovers.
Since I wasn't feeling up to making dinner, I thawed some of Mom's Turkey Stew and mixed it with Egg Noodles. Thing is, Mom's cooking is very bland nowadays due to her stomach problems(this was a woman that up to a few yrs ago ate Pickled Jalopenos like...Pickles!). So I added just a teaspoon of Gochujang and it came out FANTASTIC!
If you've never eaten Korean food, you probably never eaten the stuff since it's pretty much in most dishes. It's a fermented Soy and Hot Pepper Paste that has a firey, complex flavour. Now, I've just been using it in my 1st steps into Korean cooking but I think, like Mirin and Soyu I'll be adding it to a lot of dishes!
Cheers,
Pat

Funny. I started out going to post to some of my pretty much moribund communities trying once again to get things going and decided not to. I mean, it DOES work. I'll post something, some of the members will discuss the material, then......DEAD AGAIN. I'm realising that I've developed a pretty strong "Why am I when nobody else can bother" mindset. Not just on-line either;>.
Part is just "Curmudgeon Syndrome" but sadly, a lot is part of today's "Entertain ME!!!!" culture. The last group I Moderated I stopped because most of the members expected me to put out subjects for us all to discuss, not for them to bring them up themselves. I'm a shitty Actor, so don't expect me to Entertain you;>!
I've heard a lot of "bitching" on a number of community/group/etc platforms about the drop in traffic in the last few yrs and yes, most of the more Shallow have wandered off to FB but since they never posted much more than "ditto!", it's no loss. It's just that many have no interest in putting their Energy(I mean, if a guy who used to get yrly "Reaper Drivebys" and still even with the Meds isn't WELL can...)and rather have someone else epend it for their USE.
So...stop complaining that ______ community isn't Active anymore and POST ON _____ COMMUNITY FOR REDBEARD'S SAKE!!!! AND if nothing happens...DISCOMM!!!!
Problem Solved;>
Cheers,
Pat
