I use an Olympus C740 which is 3.5 pixels. I bought cause it has the equivalent of a 35-380 zoom. Had it for a year and I really love it

If they made steel toe Dansko's I would not have to change at work.

Dansko clogs. All I've worn for last 3 years. Get the ones with the sport sole, a little softer on the feet

Juanita Juanita in Sonoma on Arnold Drive. Ok for lunch Better menu for dinner.

Terry's Southern Style Fish & BBq, 1700 Hampton way Santa Rosa 707 526 9090. Call for directions as there kinda hard to find unless you have been there. If you happen to be in the North Bay.

Do the Ferret's have a Bucky Katt?

Aluminum is cheaper. In a large stock-pot it does not seem to matter heat wise. I bought Stainless because I do Corned Beef a couple of times a year and the aluminum reacts with the corning.

I had dinner last night at a place that I eat at 3-4 times a week over the last 4 years. If the old staff were there I would have said something. New Front of the house. same Chef. Same owner. Lesser food lately. I know one of the waiters and when he ask's why he dosen't see me any more I'll tell him as a friend. Maybe the Owner and Chef will get the message. Small Town, word get's around.

And the Martini ingredients? I do hope it's Gin since that's a Martini

The Pistachio milkshake is the best part of a visit!

Let me know if I can help. We rack, filter and bottle on a small scale.

Sounds like someone could make a real killing opening a real food place in that town. Unless it's like Spring Hill Florida, the home of fast food. One good restaurant in 50 miles.

That has to do with Jewish dietary laws I think. Least that's what they told me 30 yrs ago

The concept of Junk is not a new one. Real ones wholesale for $75. Still give me my 2 stage waiters that was $15. Since I bought it, my Chateau Laguiole sits in my desk drawer. Sabatier is generic these days and no indication of quality.

How was the Amarone?

I live in the California wine country and I make wine. What determines price seems to be the price per ton of grapes, and how much profit you expect to make. Barrel price i.e. $800 for French oak is the same whatever kind of wine your making. Cellar cost's are the same unless your storing it longer. Some wineries trade upon their reputation and that sets the price. I remember when a good cabernet was $25. You charge what the market will bear. By the way my 900sq ft tract house is worth $450,000 so land prices do come into play.

Only made it once with a fresh caught largemouth bass. I know it was fresh cause it was in the lime juice 45 min out of the water. Took it to a Chefs retirement party and it was a big hit. They all wanted the recipe; and where did I cook? Hell, I'm a carpenter but I play a chef on the weekends.

That's the only corkscrew I use, they work great. Since I got one of those my Chateau Lagiole sits in the drawer

Any time you feel that your really important try to get a reservation at the French Laundry. Kinda knocks ya down a notch. Show up in person in the am 2 months before or the real secret is to know someone in Yountville cause he does local's lunch and dinner sometimes.

Any decent liquor store should have it. That's where I got mine

Biscuits and gravy and a beer. Then to bed

Go and get " Cutting-up in the Kitchen" by Merle Ellis which is out of print but available online and he will answer all your questions.

I've thought about that option BUT, werte going to have to move the mixer initally, Were lucky enough to be able to use a friends kitchen{ fully approved for food preperation} BUT were going to have to move all our stuff out after we have finished. The idea of moving a hobart really doesn't appeal, plus if things don't work out in the begining we'll be able to re-use the smaller mixer at home. It's quite portable about 2-3 times the size of a kitchenaid. 2 average people could carry it.
