The top section about "Awiki" explains, in small part, what I think the larger significance of all this revision control stuff really is. -t p.s.: it's been a long time since i've posted a recipe so here is one. i'm focusing mostly on technique here -- the actual recipe is trivial. * Miso Soup for Two 10 inches or so of Kombu (dried kelp) 1.5 tablespoons of red miso 3 cups of water 1 stalk of the green part of a green onion Put the seaweed in a pot with the water on high heat. When the water first begins to give off a little bit of visible vapor but before it starts to have even air bubbles forming turn it down to low heat. Very low heat -- no chance at all of boiling. Use that time, while the stock is steeping on low heat, to make the rest of the meal. Among other things, slice the onion greens into very thin slices. In two small soup bowls, divide the miso. Within minutes of serving, crank the stock back up to high heat. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET IT ACTUALLY BOIL. When it is close to boiling, remove the kombu from the pot and put just enough in the bowls to cover the miso. Turn the stock back down to low heat. Using chopsticks, disolve the miso in the stock. Just before serving, top of the soup bowls with more stock and toss in the onion greens. Personal suggestion: makes a good component of breakfast. As seems to be the case with a lot of Japanese dishes, all of the magic is in choosing high quality ingredients and applying the basically simple technique with great care. Use cheap miso or lousy Kombu -- Boil the seaweed -- under-steep the stock --- any of these mistakes will give you a flat, lifeless soup. Do it right and the results are sublime. (Don't be intimidated -- it's not hard, you just have to pay a little attention). Hackers could learn a lot from Japanese cuisine. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
