I'm always wondering if they mean like tex-mex, or ridiculously spicy chimichangas. Cuz I don't go for ridiculously spicy :-)<br /><br />We don't have a lot of "crazy" stuff in our pantry (mostly cuz we don't have a lot of stuff period in our pantry) but we do always have mirin. Cuz I make chicken adobo a lot. And it's delicious. Somehow though I never have green onions, which is also part of that recipe. Hmm...<br /><br />(JM got carded last time he bought mirin!

I'll jump right to I absolutely love cookie dough more than cookies (none of this "sorta" stuff, pfft!) but JM always looks at me funny when I just eat it raw. I don't really pay attention to the salmonella warnings either and have been lucky so far, but that's cuz I wasn't willing to give up cookie dough just for that. But egg free solves the problem, woot! Guilt free cookie dough eating, hurray!

We do the exact same thing, toss some asparagus in some oil, press some garlic in and roast for a bit.
