“A well-seasoned and properly cleaned wok will always have micro-pores ...” — Andrew Zimmern Quote

A well-seasoned and properly cleaned wok will always have micro-pores in the metal that hold some oil or food particulate, etc. - that's a good thing.

The people who are afraid of talking to press are people who have something to hide.

Never use an aluminum pot, pan, or utensil when cooking tomatoes - or any other soft metal items for that matter. The acidity in the tomato doesn't do well with them; they create a chemical reaction that can turn cooked tomatoes bitter and fade the color, and the food will absorb some of the aluminum!

When I go into a steakhouse and order a steak, I'll order the cut of my choice, and I'll order it black and blue. And I'll ask them to bring it with my first course, and I'll just let it sit there.

I pray regularly, exercise, spend quality time with my loved ones, stay near and spend time with nature, walk on the beach, read good books, talk to friends etc.

I've been called 'hardheaded,' 'obstinate,' 'unreasonable,' etc.

I started writing after the death of my grandfather - memories, poems, etc. It was very personal; for years I did not share my writing with anyone.

If I like a movie, I see no reason not to go back for Parts 2, 3, 4, etc.

When I watch a movie for the first few times I'm usually thinking about where I was in a given scene, who was next to me, what we were doing etc. But after I've gotten through all of this, when I'm really watching the film itself, then I get moved.
