My own Girl Friday

I've got about 4 or five recipes I'm in the process of tweeking, trying to get them suitable for replication, but I've not been cooking as much as I'd like the past couple of months, and so keep putting off sharing.

That said, here's my adaption of hot and sour soup, which I absolutely love when I've got a cold, because it can set your face on fire if you do it right.

So this is my substitute for Parmesan, Romano and other hard cheeses commonly served with pasta. I don't think of it as a fake cheese, but it does add some of the salty fatty flavor notes that you get with Parm. Is it perfect? No. But I think it's better then the knock off stuff you buy in the pasta isle.
