i don't think it's fair to tie a rejection of walmart in with not being able to "get cheap groceries" in the hood, as it were.

hmm. i never thought to make a whole pot of coffee and refrigerate it. thanks guys!

Hmm. I haven't had ice coffee in a long long time. I remember how i used to make it in college (perfect for hangover classes). One 32oz to go cup filled with ice cubes, pour hot coffee over the ice and swirl til the some of the ice melted and the cup was filled, mix creamer and sugar til dissolved, dump into 32oz cup, put the lid on, cover the straw part, give it a couple of shakes, and sip away though first class.

no...don't retake the shot. it makes me want to lick my screen.

I have not seen this movie. What is it about? it's a beautiful movie monica. Chinese - in subtitles, but ti's about a Father who's a chef, and his four grownup daughters. Essentially the father communicates with his girls over leaborate chinese dishes that he cooks for them for their weekly dinners. Their lives change, but the constant is his elaborate cooking for them. He also can't taste anything. But that's a different story arc. Visually a very lovely movie.

ah. i thought you were randomly yelling at people.

thanks for explaining mongo, but the question itself didn't refer to bollywood movies.

mmmm....shrimp tikka.

we need an Indian version of Eat, Drink, Man, Woman.

Bhaji on the Beach?

! one learns something new everyday.

i can't say. everything has it's appropriate condiment.

Huh. I never knew freddie/freddi/freddee/fredi was parsi/parsee. for some reason i thought maybe he was anglo. in any case i've just found another reason to be proud i'm indian. i can't wait to tell my mom. i bet she didn't know. and to think, all i thought we had in the crossover section was Englebert Humperdink.

I actually thought Indian food was Hot during the mid-to-late 90s tech boom/dot com era. Indian food and sushi. It's what all the devlopers ate. I think maybe there was so much exposure because so many Indian developers were here sharing the cuisine with their american coworkers.

exactly. actually my dad is a doctor so my entire life he's been scaring me with hepatitis, e coli, cancer from browned bits of meat, etc. And to be honest, he grew up extrmely poor in a third-world country, so i'm sure some past experience with roadside vendors food hygeine probably plays into it. But yeah - whilst perhaps i can understand hepatitis from a roadside salad vendor with dirt under their fingernails, i wouldn't worry about boiled peanuts simply because they are kept simmering the entire time.

is it red? and kinda thick with seeds? if so, i know this brand. it's the one that chased off the suitor in the other thread about spiciest cuisines. it's hot. Actually, it is red, but the consistency of Tabasco. No visible floating particles, just a hellish emulsification that keeps perfectly at room temp. No seeds, no chunks, just pure satiny peppery drops. hmmm....i'm going to have to look for htis one, next time i'm in a jamiacan grocery.

hmm. i've never made a meatloaf sandwich. actually i've never even made a meatloaf. i might have to do that this weekend.

it's either maize or some sort of thousand petaled lotus. it could even be a hyacinth. mongo - i'm confused as to why you are taking umbrage i guess, to this particular restaurants spelling?

If not there, then where? Locust Valley, I suppose, and Greenwich; maybe Pound Ridge, Pelham, Mamaroneck... Parts of Huntington have always struck me as very G+T, pastel plaid.....

*lol* the kids in the car posts reminds me of the first time i ever ran across this boiled peanut roadside stand phenomena. My folks had taken us kids to Disneyworld for a vacation, and for some reason in a deluge we got lost on the backroads of kissimeee trying to find one attraction or the other. well i saw one of those badly scrawled prolly misspelled boiled peanut stands and i asked my dad to get us some. Sadly he said, "Hell no! You want to catch Hepatitis!?" My mother thought it was hilarious at the time, but when we got back home to snowy upstate new york, my dad did try his hand at boiling peanuts for us. They were pretty good, but he used green. I didn't have a true southern boiled peanut til I moved here, overcame any possible hepatits fear and bought a bag from a roadside stand.

Port Washington huh? I can see the G&Ts there, actually.
