Broadway Pandhandler Yard Sale June 11th & 12th http://www.broadwaypanhandler.com/broadway...B&dept_id=6021&

Ooops! Just saw the answer to my own query. June 11th & 12th.

variety, variety, variety in dining! Also, great shopping. Anyone know when Broadway Panhandler has their yard sale? I emailed to them and never got a reply.

Thanks for the link. My sister has been angry at me for years because she thinks its my fault her copy was ruined. Just got one for her and one for me.

We never ate out. No Mexican ever. Menner's Spanish Rice in a can was our ethnic treat, plus Buitoni pasta and marinara sauce. Franco-American Spaghetti was ethnic treat #2. Never Chinese. Mom was convinced it was made from local pets. When some company started selling tubs of frozen chow mein we ate "Chinese." Our vegetables at home were always canned, but we did eat good pot roast, stuffed cabbage, fried fish every week and a concoction with spaghetti, canned tomatoes and cheese. What you don't know, you don't miss. I'd still rather eat at home.

I suppose the restaurant can control everything except customer behavior. There might be money to be made in educating people how to behave while dining out. Except that the people who need it most probably don't know it.

Tongue. I like the taste of tongue, but had (sometimes still do) hate the concept of the tongue of anyone or anything being sliced up in a meat slicer. MAkes me very protective of my own tongue. Side note: When I was a wee girl I knew a very old woman who had emigrated from Ireland as a wee girl. She had never eaten a tomato. One day she was given a whole tomato, only it was called a "love apple." She bit in, expecting the texture of an apple. The resulting experience of juice and seeds and squishiness horrified her so that she never tried tomatoes again.

Years ago (1970s) I won a prize in a Baskin-Robbins recipe contest. My creation was called Baskin Alaskan and consisted of a crepe smeared with lemon filling and rolled up with vanilla ice cream, slathered with meringue and browned. I won the then-new Doubleday cookbook, which I still have and adore.

I bought a 50th Anniversary Waring about 1 year ago. After just a few uses I dropped and broke the jar. I oreder a replacement, and thought the blade assembly would fit. It doesn't. There must be some other part I need, but can't seem to figure it out. Waring suggests i send the jar and blade assembly to them and they'll fix it up. I guess i could do that, but I'm so disgusted, I'd be just as happy to get a new one and toss this one. So your recommendations have come in very handy. I won't be buying the KA I had been leaning toward. Thanks and y'all have a good day.

I'll misss Sara, but I too, am not surprised. Her time slots were not primo, and the network seems to running more to the likes of Emeril (gag) and Rachel Ray (gag-gag). Sara has no perceivable schtick, just comes out cooks and that's that. I find I've been barely turning the network on lately.

Good luck, I love the whole grilled cheese concept. Since you are a NJ operation, I'm hoping you'll have Taylor Pork Roll tucked into some sandwich or other. I know it's a NJ cliche, but, ohhh, so good!

Breaded (cracker meal)flounder, or sole, is what we had every Friday when I was a girl now Imake it less often, but it's still my favorite. Salmon is next best, or scallops, or fried oysters, or codfish cakes, or tuna casserole, or salmon. When it is not Lent, I do eat meat on Fidays, sometimes, but will make exceptions.

Cafe Deville, 103 3rd Ave had spectacular frites, but that was about a year ago. I have read that they changed chefs this past fall, and had gotten better generally, but I don't know about the fries.

I have a recipe from Nestle Toll House Morsels about 20 years ago. It's a chocolate torte, one layer, small amount of flour, groung toasted almonds (or walnuts in a pinch) Glaze based on Toll House Morsels as well. Dollop of whipped cream on top. Quick, looks nice, always pleases. I was amused to hear a self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseur assure her escort that I had undoubtedly used one of the finer chocolates.

i'm going to NYC tomorrow for two days and would like to check out Mitchell London (thanks for the rec!) It's located at 9th and _____ ? ps. Somebody, please please please respond soon, I'm leaving tomorrow am. I know - no more procrastinating! thanks! ← Could it be on 6th Ave and 57th? I think that's right.

That grits recipe looks great, have to try it soon. I confess I only ever had grits once, at Disney World, I think. My breakfast was rather pedestrian, pancakes, bacon, chunky applesauce on the side. Trying to get the bacon out of the house before Lent.

Did you ever wonder how some places manage to pay the rent? Apparently Rice-to-Riches (Manhattan establishment that served only rice pudding) was a front for a gambling ring. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/39829.htm

I'm not sure, but what about Mary's Fish Camp and Pearl Oyster Bar?

So, do I get this or not? (I'm betting the Strand will have it for a good price.) Any chance this will let me finally get rid of decades worth of Gourmet?

I must have the most boring grilled cheese on the list, but I like it, and I think I minimize the calories. I toast the bread in a toaster overn and then place the cheese on the bread and finish toasting it open faced until the cheese is bubbly. I have been known, in a pinch, to just toast the bread in a toaster, add the cheese and put the whole thing in the microwave to melt the cheese. Not gourmet, but quick, and avoids using fat for the pan.

I went once. That was plenty. The food I tried was not even good for street food. The crowds made it very unpleasant. That being said, there are lots of people who love it.

I like KK, but they are very sweet glazed. The apple filled with crumbs is my current fav, followed by the lemon filled. In DD I like the coffee roll, if it is adequately filled with cinnamon. The Donut Plant was a big disappointment. I find those doughnuts to be tough, aven when fresh. If they were all lined up in a row I'd pass them all to go to Beard Papa for a cream puff. Better yet, there's a place in Jersey we always just called the Apple Farm. Haven't been there in years, but their apple cider doughnuts sure hit the apot with a cup of joe.

She changed the ways America thinks about food, and that's not a bad legacy.

Excellent news about the Union Square Beard Papa. I saw some beard Papa bags at a street fair on Lex in the lower 40s two weeks back. I think a local coffee shop brings them in. Union Square sounds like a better option.

Which of you sages can tell me how they keep the pigeons away from the place? They are all over the rest of the park, and I'd like to know the answer, especially if it also works on mice.
