*sigh*, LiveJournal style problems

[beowabbit]

I am so tired of losing all my journal customization and having to redo everything, so I’ve switched to another style that I gather is less likely to have this problem. I’ll probably switch back to S2 when it gets reliable again. *Grump*.

However, I just had yummy momos at House of Tibet with docorion, mud_puppy, and mattlistener! Yay!

[Edit: See my reply to corivax in the comments for more about Tibetan cuisine.]

And I see in featureannounce (just above this post on my Friends page, in fact) that they’ve just fixed this. I’m going to try poking around S1 styles for a while, though, since the learning curve for tweaking them is less steep.

It's so wrong that you're using the Mac icon for this. Shouldn't you get a BSOD icon for techno-fuckups?

[beowabbit]

That’s not a Mac, though; it’s a Franken64. But you’re right; I really should have a BSOD userpic for stuff like this.

Whatsa momo? Besides Japanese for 'peach fruit'?

Momos and more

[beowabbit]

Argh, I hit the wrong key and wiped out the explanation I had typed up! Oh, well, here it is again:

Momos are Tibetan dumplings. They’re much like Chinese dumplings, but come with a greater variety of fillings (beef, chicken, potato, spinach, etc.). The dough tends to be thinner than for Chinese dumplings. Like Chinese dumplings, they come steamed or pan-fried. The place we went to last night, House of Tibet, specializes in momos, and they have about six or eight different kinds, in appetizer portions (four momos) and entrée portions (eight momos).

House of Tibet also has a very nice lentil soup, a cup of which comes with the momo entrées. I don’t usually like lentil soup, but I like theirs.

(The other Tibetan place I regularly go to, Martsa’s on Elm, only has two or three momo kinds of momos on the menu, in appetizer portions, but lots of their other items are really yummy. It would be criminal to mention Tibetan food and not mentiont the bhagtsamagu at Martsa’s on Elm, a dessert made from dough with honey, a bit of a cheese that’s something like cottage cheese, and lots of butter. Mmmmm! The only reference to bhagtsamagu I found easily spells it Phaktsa Mogu, and describes something a bit different from what Martsa’s serves.)

Here’s a page describing how to make momos.

Another thing typical of Tibetan cuisine is salted, buttered tea. Yum!

I really need a “food” userpic.
