Peppery, crunchy, and silken on the inside.  These were sublime.<\/li>\n<li>Clint picked: Short tip pork ribs in garlic sauce served on a small bed of lettuce, scallion and black bean.  Succulent.<\/li>\n<li>Liz picked: Dry green beans with minced pork.  Fresh ingredients and just the right amount of oil raised the bar on this old stand by.<\/li>\n<li>Author recommended: Cod and tarrot root stir fry with a light sauce that really show cased the vegtables and fish.  This was the biggest surprise for me in tasting so good.<\/li>\n<li>Author recommended: Crispy garlic chicken where I guess they pour deep fried oil over the chicken and then serve it in some kind of sweet and salty dark sauce.  I almost never eat chicken when I go out, but this rocked my world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m always pleased to see Rachel, Pat, Clint and Kelly, and even more so to see them in the context of sharing a good meal and talking over the last book we read together.
