This one goes out to Claudia, since she was wondering what "poon-tang" is...

Poon-tang dates back to ancient China where it was served as a dish for all the young men in the Hung Dynasty to promote vigor and stamina. It was invented by a man simply known as Mr. Tang.

Here is the recipe:

--2 cups of suk ma wang noodles
--2/3 cups cream of sum yung gai
--a few healthy dashes of cumin
--12 inches of "Tangstein Sausage" (Mr. Tang had a Jewish 2nd cousin marketing this meat who was living on the land of what is now known as Germany at the time) .
--a few splashes of semanese oil
--as much soy sauce as desired
--2 salted egg foo poons.

This is predominantly served with fish tacos, which was a platter that Mr. Tang discovered while on a family vacation to Spain. However, this can be substituted with tuna, skin crab or roast beef.

So there you have it, Claudia. Feel better? Just some of Ryan's completely harmless culinary art skills. Nothing more. If you ever feel like having some, then just come over to my place...
