Dear readers, Even though I've never been quite satisfied with my own attempts at stir-fries, I do love eating them. I was delighted, therefore, to read about stir-fry do's and don'ts in Matthew Amster-Burton's column this week, [/columns/bacon/howtostir-fry?utmsource=NL20090121&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=Wok%2BThis%2BWay&utmcampaign=Asian-Bittman '"Wok this way: How to stir-fry."'] For my next stir-fry, I'll heed Barry Foy's warning and no longer "produce mushy heaps of bland, discolored slop." (Don't know Barry Foy?
