Fountain hills

On the way back from Payson, we were up for viewing Fountain hills. It happened to be the first 15 min of an hour at that time, so the fountain was visible even from the highway. We turned into Shea Blvd. There were signs about an art & Crafts fair. When we were close to he location, a detour took us around a lake. In the center of the lake, I spooted a lotus looking concrete thing. It occured to me that this is the fountain we were looking for. I have been there more than 5 years ago. We walked around the endless booths. I saw the Funnel cakes, but when I saw he guy cooking behind pull out brown looking oil, all my appetite for it melted.
There was a hanging - twirler with a ball in it. It seemed like the ball was going down, quite an optical illusion.
Our hunger led us to Chen garden. The egg flower soup was good. I will never order hot and sour soup after the Yosemite experience. We had Yu shan spicy chicken and dun dun noodles. Both seemed to have the same sauce. It reminded me of Indian Chinese. It must be because of the Szechuan food prevelance in India.
We were in ine for a Lemon sugar crepe, but it didnt happen.
The first thing we saw of the fair was Emu oil. When we left the fair we walked by a 'greening the downtown' project which had emu bush. I conjectured if the bush was the source for the oil. I lose the unannounced bet. He is right.
A booth with wooden plaques to hang on the wall had '7 days without a pizza makes one weak'.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
