Did you intend to spell it "intent"? Universal rule: Any comment on spelling will contain a spelling error. Bruce

I tried it this morning. It was, um, okay.

Lion's Tap is outside our geographical area, but we're going to Wampachs in Shakopee tonight. Bruce

We need to do a supper blub/burger joint/family restaurant for the next one, though.

Here's our third review: an excellent Mexican restaurant called Sabroso, in Shakopee. Bruce

Um, okay. At least it's adult chocolate.

Wow. I'll make a reservation for the next time I'm in town. Bruce

I had an excellent Indonesian rijsttafel dinner at Kantjil en de Tijger last night. Lots and lots of food, and less than 20 euros a person. Bruce

So, I'm currently in my Amsterdam Hotel (Okura) looking over my room-service breakfast. Among the more normal thing is a small box of chocolate sprinkles. The box clearly shows that I am supposed to put it on my toast. The one bit of English reads "Pure chocolate sprinkles for bread." Can someone help me out here. What's the deal? Do I butter the toast first? Bruce

Do something really horrible. Force feed it a Bayless BK sandwich. Now that's thinking outside the box.

Like they've never heard any "fall off the planet" jokes before.

I asked my cats. One shakes the mouse until its neck breaks. The other holds the mouse's head in her mouth until it suffocates. Just trying to help....

This is such a bizarre thread. I'm just waiting for someone to come up with mouse recipes....

Growing up, I had friends whose parents put slipcovers on everything. Not the kind of life I want to lead.

Congratulations.

I wasn't wearing a tie on my last visit to Arpege. No one threw me out.

Sometimes I dishwash sponges, but ususally I just throw them away.

That's the problem with our beat. We have a short list of six more restaurants to review, and then we have to start scrounging. I'm sure we'll come up with a dozen more, but then what? Bruce

I remember growing them as a kid by putting carrot tops in a pan of water. I don't remember them tasting very good.

My favorite, which I reviewed here, is Benoit. Bruce

RenFest, the poker room at the racetrack, ValleyFair. There's a lot down that way, just nothing that I have much interest in going to.

The South Bay can be difficult; there's a lot of drek to wade through. But there are some gems. Last year I wrote a restaurant guide for a science fiction convention in San Jose. I think you'll find it a good place to start for suggestions. Otherwise, if you have any specific questions I'd be happy to offer an opinion. Bruce

Our beat isn't convenient to anybody we know. Next week it's a Mexican restauarant in Shakopee--that's inconvenient for everyone, too. Bruce

Excellent. I'm glad you posted this. I would have, but I didn't know what you did. (Pleased to have been part of step 10, though.)

Refrigerated, it will last approximately forever. At least, the jar in our refrigerator is still good...and I can't remember how many years ago we bought it.
