  1. Aren't you the lucky girl. The Pork Shoulder steak could be cut up for stir-fry or marinated and grilled. American cut pork chops sound like boneless thick cut pork chops. Brown and finish in the oven. Pork unfortunately has gotten very lean in this country so brining would help. I recommend you try to find a used copy of "Cutting Up in the Kitchen" by Merle Ellis to find your way around the various cuts of meat.
  2. Depends upon the cheese, doesn't it ?
  3. Back in my pre-pizza stone days, I was having huge problems grasping a 600 degree cookie sheet. I had heard so many things about welding gloves that I picked up a pair from Home Depot. On my first attempt, my hand got very hot very quickly (almost instantaneously). I took them straight back. Is Home Depot not the place to buy welding gloves? Is there a particular brand I should be looking for? They should be thick like potholders. Less that $20 ain't gonna do it. Go to a welders supply or buy online.
  4. Target and Target at Amazon have a line called Chefmate that has riveted handles and from my experience is as good as All-Clad. Bought it for the motor-home and use it sometimes in the house. Not Falk but $99 for the set it's worth it. Here is the discussion http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=16259
  5. How do you shred fresh mozzarella? It seems like it would be to soft to me. I have a hard time just cutting it with a wire.
  6. Make a really garlic, garlic bread to go with the lasagna. That way they have something to complain about and will forget the other complaints.
  7. I had a 3 burner Wolf 30,000 btu stock-pot range that I carted around when I was renting. Left so much grease in the apartments that you would want to own the patent to tsp. That was why they all had those big hoods over the stove.
  8. You can also take Calistoga Rd which is just north of Oakmont about 15 min from Glen Ellen and a much nicer Rd than Oakville Grade.
  9. My favorite game of Charades with drivers talking on their cell phones is: HANG UP!!! (thumb and pinky pointing downward and gesturing downward) AND DRIVE... (Hands at 10 and 2 o'clock on imaginary steering wheel, steering) YOU ASSHOLE!!! (forefinger curled inward toward thumb like a tightened up OK sign. Looks like a small orifice) Katie you nasty girl you!! I admit to having one but only a select few people have the number. When I eat it's off. Food is far to important.
  10. Macro focus as close as 3.9 inches in wide angle. that's what their website says. I gotta get outside way to much time on computer. Later
  11. Macro is for extreme close-ups. It's a type of lens construction.
  12. Problem is, there are no holes in the lid or the handle at all...the old 'rivets' were just welded to the outside of the old lid, if that makes any sense...perhaps I misspoke before and the original lid was simply welded on. Either way, there are no holes in the lid or the handle, so I don't think the fix you're describing is workable. But, if I'm just not getting it (which is quite possible), please say so =R= A Drill will solve your problem.
  13. Been there, done that, good luck
  14. Pop rivets and fender washers will fix most anything. Fender washers are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and fix most problems like that.
  15. The winery website. Lots of value for the money. http://www.mariettacellars.com/
  16. Cheese,wine and cured meat works for me also. Great Blog. Blog on.
  17. Does the name translate into the" feet of the pig". Only have Petanque french translations to go by.
  18. If you want to taste some straight from the barrel we are bottling in Sonoma monday june 28th and can always use some help. Email me Bruce
  19. Tuna with sweet and tart apples light mayo with thin sliced swiss "your choice" on toasted raisin bread. and a fat one; bring back the sixties.
  20. Take a ride up to the town of Sonoma only 45 min from Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of choices in that price range. It's warm and sunny out today and wine tasting is a bonus.
  21. Go to Hog Island in the Ferry Building, have friends meet you there; Take Ferry to Sausalito or Larkspur and back ,Having drinks on the boat and then your back at Ferry for happy hour. With a ride on the Bay
  22. That all depends upon where you live. I have no corkage in town and can take an already opened bottle home "in the trunk". Nearby if I also buy a bottle corkage is waived. But that's Sonoma Co. in N. Calif.. Bring it in a bag and give it to the waiter to open and pour.
  23. Can we put Mongo over the top at 500 posts to his blog? A most enjoyable experience and someday I'll try to cook like him. I'm 467.
  24. How did it turn out? Pics?
