I was told that there is an ancient Chinese proverb that goes:"hot wok, cold oil". Not exactly poetry, but at least its true. The oil breaks down at a heat much lower than you are likely cooking,...

When still dating, I told my wife she could eat soup with her thumb and forefinger! I'm so happy sushi isn't on here! Seriously, put those poles down, and grab it. It falls apart caus...
