Ok.. I think we have decided on desserts.. We are going with a chocolate cake studded with toffee or caramel or butterscotch bacon.. A bacon bread pudding, thank you Ling.. And Dave's the Cooks Sweet Pork Cake.. My question is.. Does anyone have a good bacon ice cream recipe?

I should have been more specific.. I really have no way besides putting bags of ice on it.

Well the place mentioned above is the only company that sells kegs that I have found. I walked Amerterdam and the 80's and did not find any place that sells kegs.. My only problem is I still need to find a place that has Sunday Deliveries.. If anyone knows of a place, it would be appreciated.. Or could someone tell me if I bought a keg today would it still be good tomorrow..

Yah.. In my fridge I have about 40 pounds of various pork products.. Its almost overwhelming.

I wouldnt be surprised at the price of chopsticks, I import from and manufactor things in China.. And I can tell you that a restaurant could have lackered or plastic chopsticks made very inexpensively.. Even for a normal consumer in New York, one could buy a 2 dozen pack of plastic chopsticks for $1.99..

How do they handle glasses. Do they re-use drinking cups?

Hey Ocean, Have you been to the live market on Elizabeth Avenue.. That place looks interesting.. Also there is a picture of almost every animal I can imagine on the sign outside.. Caja China, Caja China!!!! Not just for pigs.. Winesonoma posted about these things.. So awesome, can you please post pictures.

Despite the fact that it seems to be the norm, I still cant get over it.. How do these highend Japanese Restaurants get away with using these take out fast food chopsticks.. Tonight is a perfect example.. I am sitting at dinner, with Villeroy & Boch plates, gorgeous sake carafes and cups.. My omakase arrives, filled with beautiful fish just flown in from Japan, as boasted by the expensive to print menu.. Everything is so well thought out,so ornate, so lush.. But when it comes time to eat, you are handed these dinkey little splinters of wood.. How can the restaurant use a 30 dollar V&B little plate, but wont go passed three cents on the chopsticks? I have heard every excuse from sanitary issues on... The bottom line is, even if the restaurant were to spend 25 cents per set of chopsticks and hand them out as momentos, it could be worked into the diners cost and no one would flinch. Can someone explain this to me?

The order for this weekends festivities has been filled. Having a few friends over for a going away party.. The pathword ith oink..

Yeh.. UWS the 80'S huh.. Maybe MET.. You would expect a keg place on the UWS with Columbia being so close..

Haha.. Thats funny, telling someone they have 72 hours to finish a keg of beer wont promote binge drinking..

Well there is no getting passed anyone on this board.. Since they are college friends I thought it would be good to remember the old days and try to cheap out on the beer.. While I am sure some of my friends will think I have gotten snobby if I serve anything other then bud.. I might try a Yuengling instead.. Thanks for steering me in the proper direction everyone..

Nice, Megan.. Thanks a lot..

Having people over this weekend and was looking to get a keg of beer for everyone.. Are there any places that sell kegs and could I get it delivered to the UWS.

Took beef ribs and put it in my indoor smoker.. Used mesquite chips.. Served with yellow rice, black beans and boiled yuca in a garlic lime sauce..

Hello Dr. Susan, Welcome to E-gullet.. I really cant think of any place that has vegetarian offerings... Unless vegetarian includes eating fish.. Then there are a lot of places I can think of..

Chris I didnt get everything there.. However I certainly could have.. THey have a really gorgeous butcher right next to the cold cut guy.. This butcher has everything from meatballs and sausages, to pig heads, sheeps heads, pig livers, and lamb brains.. As I was picking up my pig head there was this old guy buying 7 pounds of intestines.. I asked him if he was making sausages and he said no.. Interesting..

Daniel, I give you much respect and all.. But I would be a different man If I didnt tell you that your essay about Thanksgiving was complete bullshit... Dont write a paper quoting unknowns like William Bradford and J.C FURNAS and think they give you the support to discredit our culture and history.. This is not some thought provoking piece, this is an unfounded attack on our countries most sacred of Holidays..

Ling, You are an artist. Really, such great ideas.. I hope to have the skills and time to make at least one of those ideas.. Thank you..

Fud, everything looks great.. Its always so stressfull and fun to try new things during crunch time.. The dishes look great.. And will only get better.. It only gets easier.. The eventual goal for me was to feel as comfortable as a guest in my own home.. A big part for me was to be an hour away from finishing the main course when guests arrive.. So this automatically has you relax and enjoy and almost stall.. Never have the food be finished early..

Duke, You definately got something.. In addition to getting shitty meal this place normally serves you, you got a draft too.. Honestly, cut your loses and learn from it.. You ate in Rock Center and expected a good meal??? Come on.. In addition to major landmarcs, dont eat near or in bus,train,airports, or bus stations.. Dont eat at the restaurants on broadway outside your show.. I, as a local get obnoxious free bottle of wine offerings if I order two entrees from that place.. Please its a tourist trap through and through.. CUt your losses and I hope your pictures came out well..

fry the pig ears so much that they are crispy.. and make like a napolean..

Sethro, How bout jell-o with tiny cubes of bacon in it.. Not dessert?

YES PLEASE.. Whats a albert Adria pulled sugar ravioli.. you have a link or recipe

LOL. Now, why bother with the dash in the middle if you're talking about cooking BACON? ← Me eating bacon isnt equal to screwing with a mans name.. As it works out in my value system..
