Thanks Wesley, I'll have to check that out. I love his short stories, but I didn't expect he would have written something like that.
I screwed up the link in the above post. If you remove the .com from the end, you'll find the correct wiki page.
I recently read for the first time The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and I enjoyed the ending enough to do some googling to try to find out how it had been recieved when first published.
The wikipedia page for this book had a quote from a review in the Observer, on May 30, 1926. Part of it said:
"It is unfortunate that in two important points – the nature of the solution and the use of the telephone – Miss Christie has been anticipated by another recent novel: the truth is that this particular field is getting so well ploughed that it is hard to find a virgin patch anywhere."
Does anybody know which novel the Observer was referring to?
David #24 I would love to spend some time in New York, the food would be amazing. We do pretty ok for Asian food in Sydney, because we're pretty close, and we have a lot of Asian immigrants and folk descended from Asian immigrants. Thai and Indian are the most common I think, but Chinese is pretty easy to fin, as is Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese good. Out of the takeaway restuarants near my house, more than half are some kind of Asian cuisine.
I had dinner at the Sailor's Thai canteen in Sydney (Australia) last night. I have no idea what they put in the sauce of their chicken and cashew nut stir fry, apart from a really good chilli jam, but it was fantastic.
While I think getting their exact recipe might be a task too far for the commenters of this site (you guys know a lot, but unless there's a lurker here who works in their kitchen...), I was wondering what secret ingredients posters here use to make stir fries extra tasty?
More generally, what are your favourite food blogs? I really like the The Pioneer Woman Cooks
And is there much Thai food in America? in Sydney at least, there are cheap thai restaurants everywhere.
