Ah, I have cooked many a meal for my ex-pat brethren stranded for the holidays! This year I did two smallish (3.5kg) turkeys on the bar-b-q. I am fortunate to have a Costco here in Fukuoka, so I can get some of those basics of North American cuisine. It took me a couple of years to really build up a good kitchen filled with nice tools and stuff. I wrecked my share of food when I first came though! Cup measure is different, rice is different, converting from F to C, pounds to kilos, finding similar ingredients, and so on. One thing I love is that it is illegal to use CO2 here for veggies, fruit and meat, so everything is really fresh and seasonal. Best strawberries I've had in years! I live in Kurume, just south of Fukuoka, on Kyushu. This town is the Salinas of Kyushu, so the food is really good and cheap. If you have any questions about some of the stuff you see here in asia, or ingredients for subsituting, I'll try to help. Good Cooking!
