A non-dry cornbread is a pretty daunting task. I cooked up some salmon
the other day with olive oyle. I try to stay away from olive oyle but
that's what my step-mom had. That's Europeans for you.

Looks good. What do you have against olive oil?

It's not something I grew up with. Most Americans didn't use olive oil
back in the old days - unless they were Italian-Americans. Olive oil
became popular in 70's America. These days, even the Chinese are
starting to use olive oil. I don't care for the taste of the stuff.
OTOH, I couldn't detect the taste of the oil on the salmon.

The same is true for Dutch people. Until the 80s, people thought olive
oil gave you the runs. That probably had more to do with unhygienic
southern European restaurants where people went during their holidays.

I also would never use olive oil for Indonesian cooking. That would
seem weird, whether you can taste it or not. I'd use peanut oil or
coconut oil.

Dinner tonight was tantan ramen with bulgogi beef. The beef was already
dead when I got to it. I had nothing to do with its demise.
