Immigrant worker feeds deathcaps to grandma.
Immigrant worker feeds deathcaps to grandma.
Barbara Lopes, 86, and Teresa Olesniewicz, 73, died needlessly in a nursing home where they lived. Their caretaker poisoned them in a mushroom mix up. The immigrant worker made the mistake of picking what she thought was an edible mushroom and then made a soup which she also ate. "Deathcaps" look similar to an edible wild mushroom popular in Asian countries. The worker and a few others went to the hospital after eating her soup. It is reported that she was unaware of the danger.

Get ready for some knowledge. Many mushroom varieties found in the wild are in fact deadly! Many people who get mushrooms for food do their homework and are extremely careful when picking them. As these videos show, they are knowledgeable about their product. Please don't poison yourself or others because you get an idea that you want to make some mushroom soup.
Here is a guide on mushrooms for your kitchen.

Vs. Hibachi China Buffet
This was a great food experience. We decided we wanted an Asian buffet. We chose Hibachi China Buffet. It is located in a very nice location. We expected the typical Asian buffet experience, food that has been sitting out for hours, few if any guests, dim lighting, a tired played out asian music cd being repeated for the 100th time, and waitresses that looked irritated that we had come to interrupt their texting.
We were really surprised, the place didn't compare to any buffet we had ate at before. Upon arriving we were greeted by 2 large stone statues. The inside was packed, we did not wait to be seated very long. Maybe the wait was 5 minutes.
To entertain us there was an expensive koi pond which featured some nice looking fish and even 2 small turtles. Brilliant almost flamboyant lighting was everywhere you looked.

The food was fresh and fantastic. I started off with a sushi plate.
The sushi is made there fresh in front of you. The sushi chef worked tirelessly preparing the rolls.
All of it was delicious.
My next plate was heavier, it was steamed and fried dumplings with chicken teriyaki
and an egg roll. The dumplings actually had a taste to them and the meat filling inside of them. I never had either before that had a taste. The chicken teriyaki and egg roll were about average.
I ordered a beef soup and they asked which type of noodle I wanted. I gave them a clear answer and what I got was a mix of 2 different types. That was not the bad part of the bowl of soup. The beef soup tasted too much of vegetables, and the meat was tasteless. I barely had 2 spoons. Disappointing.
Next up was the hibachi, you fill your plate at the station with the meats and vegetables that you want and tell them what sauces you want. I choose onions, mushrooms, noodles, and steak.
Was well prepared and tasty.
Lastly, for desert I had some sweet strawberry cake, a type of whipped pineapple treat and some cherry sauce covered bananas. For a Chinese buffet desert menu this is very common.
The cakes were very good but the exact same as any other Chinese buffet I have been to.

The architecture really gave a sense of being in China.
Overall experience was a good one. Will return to eat here again. It had a great atmosphere.
The waitresses were nice and always ready to fill your cup.

A Pantry Challenge
The Challenge is to use what you have stored up in your pantry to make interesting new dishes by clearing out some things that have been in the pantry taking up space.
If you have a sparse pantry then you might need to wait till its stocked up more.
But, if you have a bit of selection you might discover some favorite meals by mixing what you have to find some great creations. A can of spinach and some pasta shells go very well together.
It rests solely on your items in the pantry and your ingenuity to find things that will work.
To get you started, here are Some Ideas.
Good luck and please let us see what you have come up with.

Collection of Gordon Ramsay's Recipes
Found a site of many of his recipes. After watching many of his programs I wondered if the average person could make food that looks as good as his looks. I can say yes. I have made a few of them and they turn out at the very least better then my average cooking turns out. This will be left in our links list for reference.

Season 3 Master Chef Winner Revealed!
Congrats to Christine Ha, The 2012 Master Chef Winner. She has won the coveted title of MASTERCHEF, her own cook book and the $250,000 grand prize. Great Job! She has been my favorite on the show the entire time. I am glad she won it. It is quite the victory considering she had the handicap of blindness. She did not let that stop her. She fought hard and earned it. Great job.
She looked so speechless and overwhelmed. Everyone had tears in their eyes. The room was thick with emotion. :)
