At Levi and Stacey's chili dinner last week, the chili featured peppers recently harvested from their back-porch garden. It was heavenly. Just as there's no greater comfort than that of a homemade quilt, meals made with homegrown food always taste better. I've noted how cool it would be to supply our own garlic or herbs. Now a Chowhound reports that a Chicago restaurant does exactly that, and he has pictures to prove it. Sounds like a field trip is in order.
The Chowhound also has pictures of Yum Thai's "secret menu," written in Thai with no translation. Calvin Trillin writes a lot about trying to divine meaning from the Chinese-only menus in New York, Chinese being to 1974 New York what Thai is to 2002 Chicago (and what Turkish, mark my words, will be to 2004 everywhere else). It reminds me of our trip to Uncle George's in New York and how impressed I was at the Greek-only menu. Maybe we could have an Esperanto-only menu? Pig Latin?
