  1. Buffalo has a decent "weck" sandwich at one of the bars on the Southwest side of the airport.

    wow, I was just about to write about how one of the worst sandwiches I can remember eating was a beef on weck at the buffalo airport bar!

    After a week of eating delicious authentic sandwiches, I decided to get one more before we left. The meat seemed heated in a microwave and left the cold bread soggy. It was horrid and for some reason I still ate it instead of stopping after the first bite!

    Also, I'll agree with another poster that you can get great noodles at the Singapore airport!! One of the coolest in the world!

  2. Ok, I've been contemplating making a pizza oven in the backyard, but because we live in a high risk fire area I really can't make it wood-burning. It's just not worth the risk if any embers, sparks, or anything got loose.

    So my alternate was to make one heated by propane, maybe using one of the high-heat burners like for the deep-fried turkey kits.

    But, will this also not get me to the proper temperature? If I make the walls really thick could it work; or is there just a limit depending on the type of fuel that is used?

  3. Places like Trader Joes and Cost Plus often have some interesting beers I'd like to try, but they are never in the fridge but out in the isles.

    This makes me suspicious and I don't know if I'm just fooling myself thinking that all the beer I buy in the fridge actually came trucked that way..

    Does it make a difference in taste? Do you all buy beers from these stores?

  4. Anyone have pics of a slice they've made?

    Some pecan pie slices will hold their shape---a butterscotch to caramel color. Others will eventually collapse into a syrup...

    I would assume that the syrup recipes are the ones that collapse, but is there more too it? Is it the amount of eggs?

  5. If it was a standard small, house salad before entree, chances are your server touched the whole thing by prep'ing it. Hopefully they had clean hands, used tongs and/or rubber gloves.

    I know! That's why I don't know why it bothers me so much. Am I just weird or do others feel the same way...

    I think I like the illusion of the food magically appearing untouched. Kind of like a good hotel gives the illusion that you are the first person ever staying in that room.

  6. When out the other night, the waiter delivered our salads and I noticed his thumb touching one of the leaves of lettuce. I know that food is handled by cooks, waiters, and whomever before it makes it's way to the table of course, so why does this bug me? Am I the only one? I don't eat that piece of lettuce, but while I'm eating the salad, that's all I'm thinking about!

    (of course, it was a guy with a hairy thumb; if it was a cute waitress, I might have a different opinion!)
