Tom didn't love it

Based on the PM problem yesterday, can you please post the list of attendees or (for the privacy-seekers) PM us if you have us on the list? Thanks.

Great color!! Which child is shown in your avatar?

Me too! Last week's episode was pretty crazy.

Made carnitas tonight...yum! Thanks for the inspiration. I forgot to get tortillas so I'll be having mine with black beans and rice.

Ah, Sarma...it's the nature of the business. Don't feel badly. I can't tell you how many of my clients' features have ended up on the cutting room floor.

I'd like to try this restaurant. In response to your question, Bardeo is serving a great rendition of strawberry shortcake.

Sunday is August 1, isn't it?

Ray's is SERIOUS. Now when's the group thing?

I'm no expert on baking (really), but one thing I make really well is banana bread. Often I'll use a mix of white and light brown sugar -- I concur that it adds a nice extra flavor. Try it.

Congrats, you look great! You should post that low-carb shortcake in recipe gullet - yum.

Hmm...that sounds like sometimes even I (an avowed meat-lover) would eat.

They frequently offer a delicious pork butt ragu...and I know how folks around here like the butt!

Sounds like I missed a good time (and good wine). Home sick...

How about suggestions for Mexican cooking including sub-specialties?

Yum (which means yes).

Busboy strikes again!

Oh, my head. After a lemonos maximus and an apricot sour at Zaytinya, we headed over to the party at Rosa Mexicano. I switched to beer so I can't comment on Rosa's famed margaritas. The guacamole on the other hand...truly amazing. Loved it. Didn't eat anything else though which could explain the headache.

Had drinks (no food) at Zaytinya last night. They're offering what I assume is a summer special: an apricot sour. It's fantastic - fresh and a little (but not too) sweet. The web site says it's apricot brand, vodka, fresh juice and sour mix, but I remember the description differently on the menu. Oh well - it's really delicious. That's all I needed to know. Oh, and JPW, I thought of you as I oh-so-carefully washed my hands in those funky sinks.

REPRESENT!!

Prepping to have a ventworm margarita tonight. Off to Rosa Mexicano for a coworker's send-off. We're avoiding a sit down dinner in favor of bar snacking. Other than the guacamole, let me know if you have suggestions.

My travel plans have changed so there's a good chance I'll be in attendance. If I can make it, I'll bring some sort of dessert. Does anyone know what the parking situation over there is? I assume it's just street as available, but I figured I'd ask.

Top of right hand, about an inch and a half long, close to a centimeter think. "Achieved" while reaching into boyfriend's oven to flip something that was toasting under the broiler that would have been better served with a toaster (boyfriend didn't have one). <<<<<<<<<SIZZLE>>>>>>>>> Hand went too high. Ouch. Pain, suffering and loss of mobility after two days drove me to the doctor. Second degree burn with broken skin so he made me get one of those nasty tetanus boosters. More ouch. Boyfriend got a toaster for Christmas.

Apps. Did anyone say that yet? Appetizers isn't so long or difficult to say that it requires abbreviation. Come on, say it with me now "Appetizers."

It's also becoming Buck's Bashers paradise. [note: I am not defending the place, just an observation]
