>Z. You

Both are excellent suggestions. BTW, Zhonghai, I have never cooked fish before.
How do you clean it? Could u give me (and maybe some other guys) some
advice? Thanx.

On the other hand, if u stir fry too much, do u have trouble keeping your
stove and kitchen clean? I guess there are a lot of bachelors on the
net - girls don't like dirty kitchens too much, do they? Is it a concern at
all? 

Can somebody provide good recipes for good salads? Life is short, we gotta 
ji2shi2xing2le4.

Take it easy.

P.S. Could all husbands on the net kindly permit their wives to show us 
     some of their best? I would also welcome recipes for homemade fast
     non-Chinese food. What do u guys think? Again, don't email me.
