JuggerNate: hated by 1/5 of the world
"The next few days after (the Yang collision) I had a couple of people in China approach me, females, actually, and say, 'You know the whole country hates you,' " (Schierholtz) said. "It was kind of funny."
Awesome.

“It was kind of funny.”
This is the best part!

I agree. He was playing the game the only way he knows how to. He should think its funny that they were so upset with him taking out their catcher. They don’t have any legitimate reason to be upset, but if they still are, then they should exclude themselves from participating in baseball in the future. Once word China fans: Whaa!

My takeaway: Randy Winn is a self serving asshole
“I urged him,” said Winn, who played in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. “I said, ‘Hey, it’s something you might not ever have a chance to do again. I had a great time playing for my country. It’s something you’d really enjoy.’ When he came back, I asked him about it and he said it was awesome. You could tell by the smile on his face he had an unbelievable time.”

I ordered a machaca off the travelin’ snack wagon.
Three hours later I’m powerwalking (“NO RUNNING OR HORSEPLAY. SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION.”) to the Porta – John thinking about south of the border violence and how ironic it was that when my foreman asked what I was ordering I answered “Ptomaine , so I can take the rest of the day off.” and how yesterday I’d made my first buttpee reference and why were these damned Porta – Johns so far away? and Willy Makeit/Betty Won’t but he did.

And this is a good thing?
I’ve never really understood the Survivorman vs. Man v. Wild rivalry. I, personally, like Survivorman way better. But I also watch Man v. Wild. Bear Grylls annoys me at times, though. Like, for instance, he has to 1) get wet 2) eat something disgusting and 3) take off his clothes in every episode. His getting wet is the most annoying part. In a survival situation, that’s usually the last thing you want to do.

Coincidentally, I was just looking at (parts of) a book called The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, by Jennifer Lee. The general thesis of the book is that what JuggerNate and the rest of us think of as “Chinese” food is in fact distinctly American. I don’t think this notion is all that new (as indicated by this thread), but the really interesting idea which she unfortunately spends only a chapter on is the fact that, P.F. Chang’s and Panda Express notwithstanding, there is a remarkable similarity in “Chinese” (i.e., American Chinese) restaurant menus despite the fact that Chinese restaurants are predominantly independently owned and operated — they’re mom-and-pop businesses.
The contrast Lee draws is between how General Tso’s Chicken proliferates throughout the U.S. vs. Chicken McNuggets. The latter, of course, is spread around the country through the centralized corporate apparatus of McDonalds. But General Tso’s appears on almost every American/Chinese restaurant menu without any such formal organization behind it — it is purely a “social institution”. In fact, ironically, I’d bet that the menus at the P.F. Chang’s and Panda Express chains (though I’ve not been to either of them) are more varied than the menus at independent American/Chinese restaurants.

There are sort of three levels of Chinese food. There’s purely American Chinese food (for example, chop suey); there’s Chinese food that’s really Chinese in origin, but is also consumed in American Chinese food restaurants, often in watered down form (for example, moo shu pork), and then there’s Chinese food that would be totally unpalatable in the west, so we never see it here – like the stuff Schierholtz is talking about.
My wife’s first generation Chinese-American, and we both cook a good amount of the second kind (although we try not to water it down too much!). We make a huge meal for Chinese New Year every year, although this year we’ll be having it in March since the real New Year came about a month after our daughter was born this time. We make lots of good stuff: our menu for this year includes stuff like tea-smoked duck, shrimp with soy sauce, moo shu pork, scallion pancakes, pork dumplings, sesame noodles, and a dish we call Pork a la Grandma Yu – boneless pork ribs cooked in a stew with seaweed, bamboo shoots, star anise, and some other stuff I don’t remember, because that’s a dish my wife makes.
My wife’s grandmother, who died last year, made GREAT stuff, much of it semi-Americanized by necessity. When she moved to Connecticut in the 60s, she couldn’t get a lot of ingredients, so she adapted – instead of sesame noodles, for example, she made peanut butter noodles, and she made moo shu pork wrapped in flour tortillas. Her masterpiece was her Thanksgiving stuffing – sticky rice, dried shrimp, roasted pork, and soy sauce.
Now I wanna eat all that stuff, dammit.

There’s a lot of American Mexican stuff that’s really good, I think – Mission District-style burritos, for example, and crispy tacos. I just made some of those tonight, actually. But years living on the east coast also left me snobby about bad fake Mexican food. As far as I can tell, there’s a rule of thumb in these things – if they bring out your food with a warning not to touch the plate because it’s hot, and half the plate’s covered with really watery refried beans, you should probably run, ‘cause it gonna suck. And although I don’t care for organ meat, if you see a taqueria with it on the menu, it’s usually a good sign.

The only place I’ve ever seen Somali food is in one neighborhood in Chicago, where there’s a Somali immigrant community. Even there, it didn’t seem to have caught on with Americans – when I went there, my wife and I were always the only non-Somalis there. It was really good, though.

Also, my Jewish cookbook claims that Ethiopian food is very popular in Israel due to the Ethiopian Jewish community there. Perhaps it lied to me. Its recipe for Doro Wat is very good, though.
And Doro Wat, by the way, is a sort of stewed chicken dish, usually with eggs and served on a sour, spongey flat bread called injera. Looks something like this:
Which reminds me – we’ve got some chicken leg quarters in the freezer. I need to make doro wat!

Yeah, not really. The vast majority of the Ethiopians who came to Israel did so over the past 25 years, and, generally speaking, their integration process did not go well. I’m sure that there is good Ethiopian food here, but right now I definitely wouldn’t say that it’s “very popular”

Well, I just had to Google “Kofta”, “Baba Ghanooj” and “Kosherie” to find out what they’re called in Israel. Kofta =Kufta (I probably should have figured that one out), BG is just known as “eggplant salad”, and I still have no idea what’s a Kosherie.
Anyway, don’t get me wrong, I love ME food. I’m just around it all the time. East Asian food is much harder to find (well, good one is), which only makes me love it more. Obviously that’s not the case in SF.

I think this goes to the point of the situation. They don’t have as physical a game in the Olympics as it’s an “amateur” event. It would be like putting a high school player up against Nate, both in size and ability. I’m the first to hope that Nate is able to show that fierce nature in a MLB game, but to be proud of lighting up a guy 45 lbs lighter than him and with maybe 6 months of playing time under his belt seems wrong to me. Nonetheless, I hope he does it to Martin the first chance he gets.

I’m not so sure how much of an “amateur” event it really was. Apart from Cuba, what percentage of each roster for those teams with any chance of winning a medal were players under contract somewhere?
What was the PRC even doing in the tournament? The got an automatic berth by being the host nation. They got that so the majority of the potential ticket buyers, the locals, would show up, and on TV it would look like people cared.
One thing is true in sports: if you play down to the level of your competition, you might just lose. So good on Nate or any other real baseball player for playing the game the right way.

Sort of on topic, I made some Taiwanese food last night, Three-Cup Chicken. I don’t know how “traditional” it is, but I always like it a lot. It’s basically chicken in a soy sauce, white wine, and sesame sauce. You throw in a ton of garlic, ginger, basil, and green onion, too. Good stuff.

Replace the white wine sauce and sesame sauce with rice wine vinegar and water, you’ve chicken adobo.
Fry up a about a pund of chicken until lightly brown on the outside with some minced garlic. 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 cup of water. Cook to a boil then lower the temp and simmer to the point of tenderness. That’s the basic sauce and you may add any other fixings for different flavors. I like adding cuned potatoes and sliced onions in mine.
Damn, think I’ll make some tonight.
