  1. Buy a rabbit and store the produce in it for terrine de lapin mon oncle
  2. A large cleaver or small depending on my mood is usually enough. That and wash this I need it.
  3. Does this only apply to wines opened in the van or the restaurant.
  4. The French Laundry is in a destination food wine area. While I live but 30 minutes away I hesitate to give up half my mortgage payment to eat there. There are many fine restaurants here. But $50.00 for lunch with wine is average, $120.00 for dinner . Thanks but I'm cooking at home. To double or triple that is a long stretch for the average wage slave.
  5. BUT,BUT ; Corkscrew Envy!!!! Will this lead to a comparison of thumbs to see whose are bigger, better or prettier.
  6. 2 buck chuck is one of 53 finalists out of 2300 at New York tasting http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews.../8940207.htm?1c
  7. What's a good chunk? 1/4, 1/2 ,1 inch? half the blade?
  8. Takes to long to wash and there hell to retune so you can play them after you slice onions. What you need is a mandoline.
  9. Salvador Dali museum in Tampa. Do not miss http://www.salvadordalimuseum.org/info/visit_us/index.php
  10. I thought that we had settled this and were going to bury this obvious fault of yours under the rug and never talk about it again. I am extremely dissappointed in you. Port. I have had some of the supposedly best port (read most expensive/oldest) that can be had any number of times-served properly and all of that other ritualistic crap and I have to admit that I don't get it. Yuck. Tastes like it's gone bad even when it's good. I feel that I am doing a service to all port lovers by not drinking it. You can send your thanks and money to me. And you can send any bottles of Port you may be gifted with to me. You know I don't get the fact that Cilantro and Corriander are the same thing. At least so my hubby says Why can't they just call it one or the other? Cilantro is the leaf and coriander is the seed
  11. what is ice wine? have i been living in a jar?
  12. Me too! Also any kind of egg other than scrambled well with a bunch of other stuff. Pickles are only good for lights. Pickle Light "http://www.discoverchemistry.com/dcv2-docroot/student/fun_stuff/electric_pickle/"

    Eeeeeeewwwww.... If that ain't nasty enough to skeeve me off ordering rabbit for awhile, nothing is! Katie, that little "eww" face is hilarious! Interesting about the visible vermin, but I want to add a note on the invisible hazards (and then point another thread this way - I hope that's all right?). I grew up in a hunting family, but far from killing and eating the jackrabbits that pestered our young vineyards and young orchards in the San Joaquin Valley, my parents impressed on us younguns to never, ever touch those rabbits, dead or alive. We did not eat those rabbits; they were not the "eating" kind. Far from being cute cuddly Peter Cottontail or his less domesticated cousins (whom I have cooked and eaten with glee, out here in the frozen northland), they were riddled with disease and vermin. They specifically carried tularemia, a.k.a. "rabbit fever", which is a bacterial disease. I had the impression from my parents that it was peculiar to jackrabbits, but I must say that my 5 minutes' worth of reading from the CDC a couple of minutes ago suggests that other rabbits as well as rodents can also carry it. So, if I'm off base or being overly alarmist, someone should set me straight. Rabbit fever Link http://health.utah.gov/els/epidemiology/ep...ts/tularem.html
  14. Crustless Brioche, Smoked Salmon, Creme Fresh or cheese your choice soft; fresh mild goat; wassabie caviar. Open Sonoma Oreo.

    Pork Brisket

    To quote Merle Ellis from his book Cutting up in the Kitchen "Spare Ribs are the bones removed from that portion of the pig's side and belly which correspond to the Plate and Brisket of the Beef. What remains after the Spare Ribs are removed is the "Side Pork" which is usually sold cured, either as Bacon or Salt Pork."

  21. You already have a life. Sailboat, house on Gilgo and the LIRR for transport. Does the train go to the airport yet?
  22. The 2004 edition of Frommer's California raved about The Gaige House Inn, saying "The Gaige House Inn is the best B&B I've ever stayed in." Please note, I have never stayed there. I live here and I want to go stay there!!!
