Ah, Nita! Verily, thou hast reminded me of home! I recently got interested in hot cooking: Sichuan, Hunan, and to a lesser extent, Mexican. I noted your supply store with a Minneapolis location. I was raised in Golden Valley (suburb on the NW corner of Mpls.). The mention of Minneapolis conjured pictures of "white-cooking."If you've got a sense of humor, you've gotta check out John Louis Anderson's Scandinavian Humor: and Other Myths and German Humor: On the Fritz, Howard Mohr's How to Talk Minnesotan: A Visitor's Guide and Gary Legwold's The Last Word on Lefse and The Last Word on Lutefisk. They've all got wonderful fun-poking at the blandness of Scandinavian and northern European cooking, as well as lots of good Upper-Midwest humor.
