  1. When one hears a distress cry for barbecue and the individual has one foot on the plane already, time is of the essence! Hope you enjoy the weekend with your friends and the barbecue as well, schmooty!
  2. I beg to differ with you widely on this statement, budrichard. The people who have commented here are a knowledgeable, experienced group of experts in this field and I, for one, am always confounded by the depth of their opinions which, I believe, are well-grounded and solid. Many of these people are eGullet forum hosts in their respective areas of expertise.
  3. Egg Substitutes
  4. Because I enjoy all types of seafood, this is a place that has considerable variety: The Prawnbroker Restaurant and the other one I have enjoyed is: Channelmark Restaurant (their dinner menu)
  5. the article from Slate Online and the results? Read her findings to see which features make for the "best of the best"! and note that spending more money on a slow cooker is no guarantee of top notch quality ...
  6. a fascinating article on lobsters Don't know about you but I most certainly feel their pain!!
  7. The Most Perfect Answer Yet!! and there are more for each nominated film!!
  8. Million Dollar Baby Vegetables (oven roasted) Sideways wine selections Aviator ham (all of the actors were, you know!) Ray Soul Food assortment Shark steaks or, if you wish Shrek steaks
  9. First Choice Barbecue Highly recommended!
  10. this is the one I always use (scroll down to find it!) The incredibly delicious STAGE DELI’S CHEESE BLINTZES Enjoy!
  11. Looks spectacular!
  12. This place has been around for over twenty-five years and is quite popular. I was there some time ago and enjoyed it tremendously because it was within walking distance to my father-in-law's condo on the beach: Sea Watch read the reviews Ft. Lauderdale Dining Guide with numerous options
  13. Hold on there! I see that you already have a couple of Dean & DeLuca stores in Charlotte and we have none in a big city like Atlanta ...

    Kugels

    That it most certainly is! On my sweet noodle kugel, there is a top crust made from cornflakes, chopped nuts, cinnamon, sugar, and butter .. makes for a very nice "finish"!

    Kugels

    Pareve cauliflower kugel from VJ website (Virtual Jerusalem) and, of course, contains neither milk nor meat ... but also not Pesachdik ... To make for Pesach, boil fresh cauliflower, drain, add salt and pepper, eggs, matzo meal, and either milk (if you like dairy) or pareve creamer ... basically simple!
  16. Oh, I know that only too well, Swisskaese .. but the article piqued my curiosity and mentioned the US first ... so it gave me the idea initially and I went with that!

    Kugels

    I shred the potatoes for my regular potato kugel because the taste remains more distinctive in the long shreds, as opposed to the grated potatoes. Haven't made a sweet potato kugel as of yet but I would think that grating the raw sweet potatoes first and then adding the remaining ingredients might be viable. I don't parboil nor do I use a ricer. Favorite kugels? Easy! The potato kugel when parve is necessary and a lukshen (noodle) kugel when dairy .. lots of sour cream, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and, of course, fine egg noodles! A hit for break-the-fast after Yom Kippur! Have also made Vidalia onion kugels (from nearby Vidalia, Georgia), carrot kugels, cauliflower kugels ...
  18. article from the Miami Herald What are the ways and recipes that you use which make this pairing of fruit with meats successful?
  19. article from the London Review of Books So, my question is this: Can you discern the various tastes in wine? Can you pick out things such as ‘wild, jammy, slightly risqué character’ in your wine glass?
  20. With your soup cookbook having been published, I rather imagine that there are few, if any, of us who know more about 'goldene yoich' (chicken soup) than you do, Pamela! Betayavon = a good appetite, I think, if my failing Hebrew can be trusted any longer ...
  21. and I presume that you will be willing to share the recipe, Senor Aidan?
  22. We use our formal dining room for Friday night dinners (our Sabbath) and for all of the major holidays and when we have company. The rest of the time we eat in our big kitchen with the bay windows overlooking the backlawn and flower gardens.
  23. Tonight we are serving: gravlax rolled around hearts of palm, garlicky dijon vinagrette on greens homemade chicken soup with glass vermicelli noodles Asian turkey cutlets with Peanut-Ginger Sauce recipe here Basmati rice fresh asparagus and an orange compote with cinnamon rugelach Shabbat Shalom, everyone!
  24. I have to agree with you who say the choice is a very difficult one to make primarily because both countries have such a collection of their own gifts in making cheeses ... I prefer the French cheeses because I am partial to brie and Reblochon myself ...
  25. Here you will find the collection of digests for a number of media which are located in the Southeastern states.
