  1. I remember reading a couple years ago that some outfit, that considers itself our protector, was warning against sun tea because the water doesn't get hot enough to kill the invisible creepy-crawlies in tea bags.

    Chef!

    Any show, where the chef refers to donning the toque as putting on his "culinary condom," is OK by me.

    Bingo. Case closed.

    Coffee Machines

    We touched on the Toddy briefly at this link. I like it a lot. The Queen loves it. Might be a good method for flavoring ice-cream. http://forums.egullet.org/ibf/index.php?ac...544ab82d11e48df

    I have a KitchenAid KCM200 that pleases me. Auto-Off, yes. Programmable, no, but other KA models are. This link is a good place to start some research. http://www.coffeegeek.com/reviews/drip
  8. Bread, cheese, wine and fruit.
  9. Today, I saw 3 # packages of Nathan's natural casings at Costco for $9.99.

    Cooking with hops

    I googled this one up. Maybe it's a start. http://www.hopbier.myweb.nl/hopscheuteneng.htm
  11. Only for coffee.
  12. Would a coffee grinder work?
  13. Ahhhh..... nutritional. Celery?
  14. Me too. Thanks, John.
  15. I was referring to the one on Northern Blvd., near Oyster Bay, LI.
  16. I remember being disappointed at Rothman's. The money would have been better spent at Luger's. Haven't been to B&C.
  17. I haven't been there in over a year, but I'd go back for the simply-prepared, fresh seafood. I remember when Lennie opened his fish store, about 45 years ago. It was on the same block as now, but only 1 storefront wide. About 12 feet? Besides fresh seafood, he also did some cooked take-out. I used to stop and get a brown-paper bag of chips. Krinkle cut, I think.

    40 hungry sailors

    What nationality is the crew?
  19. I remember using this diet about 30 years ago, when it was also touted as "the drinking man's diet." Alcohol's carbs were magically different. In short, it worked. But please, drink lots of water for your kidneys' sake.

    Don't they make some decent apple wine?
  22. Have you tried holistic medicine for your cold?
  23. Welcome.
  24. An ex-girlfriend of mine had sweatshirt that said, "It's not pretty being easy."
  25. Thank you, Jaymes. God, I love easy.
