Four years, add another person fooled. I think the managers do a heck of a job. I have had two of my posts deleted, one I posted some material that conflicted with the use policy, which was fine with me, I did not intend to violate the rules. The second was removed because the post immediately above it, which it referenced, was deleted and my post no longer made any sense. As for keeping my anonymity, when I first posted on EG, I was flamed a couple of times and stayed away for a while. I was disgusted with what I thought was immature behavior. It turned out to be the exception and not the norm. Since then there IMHO has been a vast improvement in the way people deal with one another on EG. I do tend to stay way from the media threads however so maybe I'm missing the more contentious threads.

Having just come out of a four day stint in a church kitchen all I can say is, "oh boy I bet you had fun!" I look forward to the week ahead.

Thanks for a great blog! We all had a great time watching you flex your cooking muscles.

And here I was quite pleased with my everythingbagel and cream cheese. I can't wait to try that recipe at home.

Foodman any chance you would post the recipe for that soup. It looks warm and comforting.

15 gallons of red gravy for the "trout club" spag. dinner tomorrow night. After that I had no desire to eat.

oooh, naughty girl. That looks so good it hurts.

Soylent Green!!! IT'S NOT FOOD ITS PEOPLE!!!!! (collapses to knees) oh the humanity...... (and weeps)

Heck of a start. You made a sick guy feel not so lousy. This is going to be a fun week. I enjoy your writing.

Must...not.. open ....thread before breakfast. I just want to barf now. I nominate Mizducky's "plotz on a plate" and Torakris' "guts in broth" for the Barf Award, for excellence in the portrayal of food horrors!

Thank you for sharing your dinner with us. It looked like quite a evening. That skate...droool I won't get that out of my head until I have some.

I used it to ramp up the flavor of chicken soup for a church dinner. One little container really improved the flavor of a 15 quart pot of soup. edited to resemble english

To make up for last night's meal, I made pomodro sauce with pasta. I love the weekend.

I was having Peking Duck for the first time. It had to have been the restaurant. It was dry, the skin was like plastic and what astounded me is the meat and the skin had no,zero, zip, nada flavor. Why now why didn't I wait until I was at a decent place. Hump!

And where you stand is the best description I have heard yet. I agree whole clogged heartedly.

Is the orange liquid in the glass the pumpkin ale? Can you actually taste pumpkin or just the spice or both? Ugh. there's a compound question for you. I should break down and make dim sum my kids love it. I just haven't been up to trying. Now I think I will. Thank you for the detail in the prep I love when the blogs include them.

Well, one can certainly try - And here's an attempt to demonstrate some lovingly and diligently prepared cioppino (it tasted good, honest! ) - ← If you think these dishes are regrettable I will send you my address you can mail them to me. They look good to me!

Do you have any idea how much hot and sour soup hurts when shot out your nose! I knew I shouldn't read this thread while eating. That's it I'm going home for the day. Great story.

Men's Pocky what do they taste like beer and pizza? Your off to a great start! Isn't a cat that is 3 feet tall called a Lynx?

Carrot Top was the next step to flush? What is that mess.

Swoooon

I only had time for one meal. It was at the Chophouse. It was very nice. On the positive side is I will be comming back with some regularity for at least a year or two so I will have time to explore. Thank you for your helpful comments.

I fly in tomorrow get lunch, a meeting or two dinner, breakfast and lunch before I have to leave in the early evening. Where to eat, What should goodies should I take home? Last time I was in Milwaukee it was to play rugby. Other than the game, the avalanche and beer I don't recall much.

Made Butternut squash ones before. Great taste but water was an issue. I divided the ingredints into 2 batches, just to be safe. The first batch not drained sucked up huge amounts of flour and the results were they were a bit chewy. I would not serve them. The second batch I drained they came out much better. I served them with brown butter, sage and peas.
