I am guessing brain is not Kosher...but perhaps a Halal butcher may be of more help I could tell you where to get one in NJ, I always hated seeing them hanging over the butcher at Corrados Italian Market when I was a kid. tracey

Ahhhh well the cake looks great and good other people stash things in the oven and forget too..I havent had flies yet though tracey

the apple idea reminded me of something....frozen bananas on a stick dipped in chocolate and nuts.. but there is also mini corn dogs mini cheese steaks or italian sausage and peppers candied almonds butter corn on the cob on a stick shish kabob w/pita zeppoli tracey

Pork butt Dave's BBQ Shrimp from the Pig Pickin' tracey

I have frosen and eaten just about every soup known to man ...except gazpacho some do look like a hopeless mess as they defrost but heat up fine tracey

Even worse was when the rolls I bought Sunday didnt seem like the would be sliced....boy the knife goes through fast when they are actually already cut

They also got lots of new refrigeration equipment at that time....my husband installed it all T

I havent been since the late '90s but it quite good then....the potato croquettes were amazing and chicken pie also...they had good versions of all the usual suspects. tracey

I chose the carmelized banana cake and Karls was the chocolate creme brulee and an espresso I think I was even more stuffed after this than the buffet $106.00 plus tip thank you mike Tracey

OK 2 days in Lancaster County Day 1 Breakfast - 1 peach at home Lunch - bison and venison sausage sandwiches and fries at Cabellas sporting goods store on Rt 78 Dinner - Ok here goes - We Ate the Whole thing... Shadey Maple's huge buffet... some of it was good buttered thick nubley noodles baby beets dried corn - like a corn pudding apple dumplings swimming in a golden syrup and the Vat of whipped butter next to the tasty enough dinner rolls and some was highly edible it was steak night...all those steaks wanted was a hot grill ham broasted chicken cherry cheesecake-like dessert and then there were things like the chili (not mine) BBQ (ketchup) sauced keilbasa and.....why were there ground up maraschino cherries in the salad bar?? not that I mind but why? If you choose carefully you can have a good meal here but who is careful when confronted by a sea of food? $31.90 for 2 tracey

Sit down have a martini and think of your mothers favorites...the real treasures...and then go cook tracey

When I tried to buys these at a nice fishmarket in NJ I was told they were illegal, then I promptly saw them at a Korean market. Still havent bought any because the Korean store just overwhelms me. They were very tasty when I had them in France but even better were the small whelks...which they also only have at the Korean market here...and they are frozen.... I am getting hungry again tracey

I always thought that these joints were way too expensive unless you eat like an Amish horse. ← We are heading to Lancaster in the morning....If I get a hankering to tie on a feedbag, anyone have an opinion of the best local buffet? I dont want to miss the crispiest chicken, porkiest pork, or sweetest pie....any breakfast ideas this Is a vacation and I plan to eat accordingly tracey

Ok here is a bunch of meals from a few weeks, my pictures have been coming out crappy since I lost the sun on my deck at dinner time....damn tree.... we start with last nights apricot dijon glazed salmon with sweet corn, tomato cucmber salad on toasted provolone bread and teeny potatoes boiled then squished and fried in bacon fat moving on to a lasagna that my coworker forgot to take on his weekend away with the boys and parcelled out at the office on a monday along with rainbow chard...it was eh pork chops with cherry demiglace and those same little potatoes but fried with duckfat and corn on a day trip to NYC I scored some fresh ricotta from Alevas dairy and just put a huge spoonful on spaghetti with braised beef Ummm I forget what everyone else had, mine was just toast with homemade pesto, ricotta and sliced "lemon Boy" tomato from my garden Home made pepperoni, broccoli and mushroom calzones with the last of the ricotta tracey

the flavored syrups they use at coffee bars are good for sodas also tracey

Most of the use my measuring cups get is to steam veggies in the microwave...I measure water and rice liquid for cake mix dry ingrediants for pancakes also like them thin and vanillaeeee I start with rough measurement for bread making but that never works thats about it tracey

I havent tried it but I certainly want to ..... hmmm how to recreate it maybe take a good cinnamon bun and tear it apart and dry it in a low oven and add it to a cinnamon brown sugar ice cream base. yeah that just might work tracey who should really open the 6 yr old icecream maker

Johnny dont drink the Brennivin...its pure Evil - but it is the only way to wash down the fermented shark:blink: carry on edit checked my bottle for correct spelling

I had a friend years ago that had a small combination grinder sifter that ground powders very fine. Umm maybe a head shop or looking up herb grinders on Yahoo, my company is blocking all the sites so it may be what I was thinking of... T

I just noticed a back and forth about how it was a shame that a certain meal couldnt start at 5:30 with a comeback of 8:30 would have been better....and many people trying to get a Hot reservation call 5:30 cocktail hour not dinner time. Growing up we ate at 4:30...dinner yes 4:30 pm Grandpa left for work at 5:15pm In the many years since then I have managed to push myself back to maybe 5:30 on a perfect day 6 if I am running late cooking. I mean, I eat breakfast at 6:30 am at my desk and lunch is at high-noon. If "everyone" wants to eat dinner at 9pm, when are they eating breakfast and lunch or do you add an extra meal....around when I eat dinner? just wondering tracey
