Fave: Alton Brown Least fave: Dweezl & Lisa (WTF?)

See my post above...

Yes. Clurfield has had a long running feud with Casa Comida in Long Branch for like 15 years. She invented the derogatory term "Velveeta Mexican" for that establishment. Regardless hgow you feel personally about Casa Comida, fact is that it is the oldest, largest and most popular Tex Mex place in Monmouth County and was reviewed in all editions of thew NJ Zagat until Clurfield became editor. Soon after her joining the publication... Poof! Casa Comida entry dissapears. You make the call.

Given the whipping that Ms. Clurfield has recieved on these forums I doubt she would be amenable to posting here.

I'm not likely to be convinced to purchase food products from a company that uses mutant rats in their commercials.

Do you think they'll have Rachel Ray as a judge doing the "girlish giggle" thing?

eGullet The Movie

I can pretty much imagine why Georg Riedel designed all those glasses, if you can convince all the wine wonks that every bottle of wine needs a separate glass then the folks selling the glasses are going to make some serious $$$. You'll convince me that all these different glasses seriously effect the flavor of wine and where it is deposited on the tongue when you can show me that everyones mouth is shaped and sized identically. I find it interesting that a large percentage of wine enthusiasts in Eurupe dring it out of 8 oz. tumblers.

Am going to see a matinee showing of Chicago, will likely be doing lunch at Grand Sichuan. Edited to say: Of course that ain't Jersey...

She was talking about the chocolate covered strawberry image that is the link to Table Hopping with Rosie and he made the comment that she was smaller than a strawberry. He also accused her of being a stand-up comedienne.

Good plugs for eGullet on Schwartz!

Annette's BBQ Heaven off Van Dorn in Alexandria.

I still find it odd that at the Last Supper they all sat on the same side of the table... Whats up with that?

Bacon

Any type of "Fat Free" cheese products or low fat butter substitute. Lima Beans - mushy bland blech Japanese seaweed salad - flavor/texture issues I only like okra if it's pickled - de-gloobified

A ham steak and some spicy baked beans to eat while watching DVD of Pirates of the Carribean.

i've never eaten weed. sounds like it would be right up my alley, though. Very inefficient. Takes like 5 times as much to get a minimal buzz, and takes hours to get off. Only really an option to those with access to large amounts of potent, free weed, or better yet, hashish.

Bake as above, but for added flavor add an ounce or 3 of sherry to the baking pan. I prefer pyrex for this. (PS - The sherry goes good with any squash)

Homemade ground horseradish. Makes the storebought stuff taste like wet sawdust.

No, we call it Ring of Fire. ...and the Johnny Cash song still brings a smile to my face. Every time. Sung to the tune of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" Dinner last night Was quite a treat Tried to see how much hot stuff That we could eat Next morning though My innards grumbled So off to the bathroom I quickly fumbled I sat down on a burnin' ring of fire I tried to flush it down But the flames they got higher And it burns, burns, burns That ring of fire That ring of fire Now you would have thought By now I'd have learned That a firey mouth Ain't all that burns My thighs are marked By a painful grip A whimpering cry Sighs 'cross my lip I sat down on a burnin' ring of fire I tried to flush it down But the flames they got higher And it burns, burns, burns That ring of fire That ring of fire I always tell myself Lord! Never Again! But I know it's not if But more likely when Those chiles entice I can't say no Whip out my Chile-head card Psssst! Here we go! I'll sit down on a burnin' ring of fire I will try to flush it down But the flames they'll get higher And it'll burn, burn, burn That ring of fire That ring of fire!

Ebony & Ivory was a Paul McCartney song, not a Michael Jackson song. And the "ebony" part of the singing was Stevie Wonder. That's good, if it had been MJ they would have had to change the lyrics and title to "Eggshell and Ivory."

Well, caffiene is water soluable, so I would imagine if you chewed the beans well enough that there should be little difference. Did you notice any effect? Edit for spwwling.

Sounds like an uncited hysterical rant to me. Rather like the person who went off on the Daily Gullet earlier in the year howling about MSG being "brain poison."

It's interesting that the US was quick to ban all beef imports from Canada and Europe following the finding of infected animals, devastating the agricultural economies of many countries. Now when there is a confirmed case in the US we hear, "Move along, nothing to see here. Carry on. We have everything under control. Nothing to worry about".

I'll have to check that out! Does she sing off tune and rub soap in her crotch?
