If you will follow the links to these gourmet food sites, I think you will see how many terrific brands of the olive oils and balsamics that you will find:
I have found delightful selections at Zingerman's, Dean and DeLuca, and Citarella ...
fantastic selection of olive oils and vinegars ...
Personally, I love Minus8 wine vinegar .. smooth and velvety ...

and, if you don't mind a bit of interference by a bit of cold turkey (no, not the stopping smoking blog) there is this British concoction: BBC's cold turkey with potato salad. Apparently the addition of black olives, capers and sun-dried tomatoes makes for a lively offering! Good luck, Jansson!

Melissa's photo was mouthwatering...if I could get the hang of posting photos without discombobulating myself, I'd do it too. (Embarrassed.)

What doesn't the internet have to offer in the way of cooking?
Yes, recipes, of course ..... so many sites which allow one to input on hand ingredients and which will come up with a workable recipe to fit those ingredients to produce a dish.
The shopping for cooking supples is amazing! I have bought pots, pans, serving pieces, my Santoku, and a ton of great things which piqued my interest. Yes, even to ordering items which I might never find in my local stores .. or was not able to locate: a special smoked paprika from Spain, a wine, my new bottle of Minus8 vinegar, ice wines, and so many more things.
Ideas, and more and more ideas .. travel which is food centered is now at hand with the click of the mouse ...
And when I plan a trip or plan to visit a restaurant and want to view their menu in advance, the internet offers that as well ...online menu thread
Food photography: found two excellent cameras online and have learned to photograph food I prepare ...

There was something about Tony seeking out the kitchen for comfort, familiarity and let's face it, something to keep him busy and his mind occupied. Cooking has to be one of the best things to do, when your world is spinning away from you. A way to take control over a little piece of it, bend it to your will and produce more comfort for others. The world seems a little more normal, when viewed from the kitchen, no matter what is going on outside.
Well said, indeed .. once there was a thread on how cooking helped to relieve the pain of mourning ... will look for it ...

I do it all the time .. but haven't done so when any of the burners was still glowing ...

Seeger is welcoming special friends to his table in a private room downstairs. In another hour, Daniel Boulud will arrive, fresh from the airport, to spend a last evening here. The famous French chef of Daniel and Café Boulud in New York and Daniel Boulud Brasserie in Las Vegas (among others) will dine privately with Seeger and another close comrade, chef Patrick O'Connell of the Inn at Little Washington just outside of Washington, D.C. The three are national treasures.

Once upon a time when I was younger and full of energy and culinary ambition, I made a croquembouche for a family member's birthday party. Very time consuming and labor intensive .. looked like some of these .. but it really did taste great!
Homemade strudel takes a long time but only if you decide to pull the phyllo by hand ...

I still enjoy this poster-making tremendously!

Not entirely in agreement with your comment
a slow but steady exodus of Atlanta's most talented chefs have bled the city of top flght restaurants.There are still a great many chefs of exceptional quality here in Atlanta, as of today ...
The full John Kessler article appears here:
Seeger's will close on Aug. 19
scenario that will keep him in Atlanta and at his restaurant. Local restaurateur Bob Amick claims he is in discussions with Seeger to buy a claim in the restaurant. "There is no final deal, but we are exploring options," says Amick, whose local restaurants include high-volume scenesters such as One Midtown Kitchen, Two Urban Licks, Piebar.If this plan goes forward, Amick says, "We would close the restaurant [for a period of time] to repurpose it and make it more accessible to diners." He added, "Guenter is one of the ten best chefs in America; it's really in Atlanta's interest to keep him here."
and, perhaps, this may yet happen ... hoping so!

The restaurant specialises in food that Chufi recently wrote about. Any ideas?
Nutella and srichacha (forgive my spelling ..this word sounds like a latin dance to me) ...
-
Yes. That is correct. As your prize, is there anything you would like to see foodwise?
I always enjoy photographs of the foods in Israel so anything you choose to show on your blog will be wonderful to me ...
On our trip a few years back, we were in Sde Boker and brought back small rocks from near Ben Gurion's grave which we then put on Yitzak Rabin's grave on Mount Herzl Cemetery ... a moving experience...

No, it is not Golda, but you are on the right track.

Haven't we all 'grown up' sufficiently to read and ignore some of these exceptions?
How can one read a Bourdain book and not see those words, yet read for content, wisdom, and humor?

and I do know that this knife isn't really a meat slicer .. but who could resist?

I have to say that these just keep getting better and better!
Some could even be professional quality work .... who knew that our food photographs could be made into such cool creations?

Congratulations, to you and your groom, Catriona!
Your menu sounds lovely and the choice of wines and cheeses are sublime!
