Gifted Gourmet

T'was my pleasure to give you something worth ruminating about! Sure beats trying to chat with someone who offers you a bite of his ham sandwich ... You got that exactly right! The assumption that what one eats makes one a kinder, more decent fellow, is based upon faulty assumptions in the first place ... shallow reasoning ... Maybe yes, maybe no, on this point ...

tiède (adj) - lukewarm, tepid, mild

Marlene's Caesar salad from recipeGullet This is the one I use and am always pleased and proud to serve it to company! this is also very good!

It appears that they fail to see "the big picture" on this ... goodwill far exceeds the nickle-and-dime padding that so often occurs .. leaves a bad taste in the customers' mouths and dampens repeat business ...

Always so calm and collected, Jinmyo? Nothing ruffles your feathers ...

Hopefully, the Advanced Level Care and Raising of Shrimp 101 .....

Guess this pretty much excludes Fergus Henderson ...

I have found that celeriac is excellent when roasted in the oven and also used raw in a salad, cut into tiny julienne matchstick strips, served with a creamy dressing. Yummy and healthy as well! more ideas from Cordon Vert Cooking School

article from The Las Vegas Sun Anyone find this to be true? Is it your perception that produce is far too pricey today? Or is this merely a covenient excuse not to buy good foodstuffs? Might these same people buy a bag of chips and soda for what they might otherwise be willing to spend for produce?? Your opinion ...

I sometimes think that denying oneself such a major item in a diet as meat, or even fish, makes one a bit more irritable ...

remember this thread on sparkling or still water on your bill?

Thank you for the marvelously interesting links, foodgeek! It is, as you correctly note, vital to hear both sides of the issue, especially about one of my favorites, shrimp!

Well, in all honesty, I think he is having one exceedingly Happy Meal! and I also think he is feeding at the hamburger trough of hype!!

article from Slate I found the Slate article utterly fascinating on this exceptional man!

An appropriate sig line if there ever was one .. thanks, Tana, for that and happy cheese!!

another review .. this by the Globe and Mail Now I am literally dying to read this book! Has anyone happened to read it yet??

and your street address might be???

Who is actually reporting on his "actual success" with this thrift-based technique?? Him?? In which case, I am puzzled ... no, actually incredulous .. anyone interview these "quarter pounder" for roll in the hay women?? Or maybe his "technique" overrides the entire lunch ... drive around please ...

Actually, I had more in mind not so much his "discrimination" based upon diet .. what I want to get at is his assumption that a vegan tenant is more sociable and gentler and healthier .... yada yada yada .. I know that I am sociable and pleasant and keep a clean house .. but need a chunk of some red meat from time to time to maintain my complacent, pacifist demeanor ...

BBC article Your "take" on this idea?? Are his arguments sound??

Frommer's Guides on Gundel .. (see last sentence)

But doesn't the smell of those steaming onions act as an aphrodesiac to you, Jason? and the weight of the bag full of White Castles make for an erotic turn-on??

Singapore Airlines may have an answer ... To quote from Senator John Edward's acceptance speech at the DNC: "Hope is on the way!" or was that "Help is on the way"?? These chefs are not exactly lightweights culinarily ...

Thank you for verifying the actual prices which your intensive and exhausting research dug up for us! So was the article in the SF Gate completely over the top in its claims??

Clever way to work the word "screw" into this thread, Mabelline .... No one wants to struggle with a cork in the heat of passion .. time for the screw-off top? There it is again!
