We used to have a dwarfed tree when I was a kid... the lemons were the size of a softball. The tree was from Sorrento and really old I loved to scratch the lemons skin and just sniff them tracey you could try an Italian American club and maybe find some old Italian still growing some at home

Off the top of my head I would say the best time for a cold call walk-in would be between 2 and 3 pm...assuming a take-out / gourmet drygoods store. Mornings are for prep, then there is lunch, after 3 is the mommy and kids time and after 5 the manager is gone. tracey

Personally I get a whole Boars Head pastrami and drop it into the crockpot with the juice from a jar of dill pickles let it go about 4 hours... Just like Wilke's deli in NJ used to do it tracey

Hmmm watercress and peach slices with a vanilla citrus dressing....and, ummm maybe some toasted nuts vanilla poached dried figs wrapped in prosciutto goat cheese tartlet with a fruit and vanilla syrup tracey

Ahhh we must get past Paula with her mouth full of butter.... Now think a deep fried compound butter served on top of maybe green beans, you tell your guests to break it open and gush...a wonderfull, lets say chive and basil butter oozes all over the veggies Hmmmmm tracey

Dont skimp on the rolls for Saturday though...you have a motorcycle club coming for dinner. We dont want anyone to go hungry ( ha ) tracey

Cricket Hill Brewery 24 Kulick Rd Fairfield, NJ 07004 http://crickethillbrewery.com/index.html A coworker has been going on about a Wacky new Brewery in Fairfield. They hold tastings and tours on Fridays and even have hosted a wedding right on the brewing floor. Thats about all I know - coworker's cousin's buddy is the owner maybe? So, the tour and tasting cups are FREE and you can puchase bottles at a discount... We might give it a try tonight tracey edit for spelling maybe I do need a beer

I was hoping someone would say this soon..... tracey

Pizza, thats the ticket...I just had a broccoli and sausage calzone last week My former M-I-L used to get broccoli bread and sausage bread for Sunday dinner...Mmmmm tracey

I dont know about you but now I want sausage and broccoli with pasta(gemeli or orechiette) with lots and lots of garlic, hot pepper and a little sundried tomato. Lets see, white wine and lots of romano cheese too... Yeah that sound, pretty damn good to me. Alot of people would use Broccoli Rabe though tracey

those last 2 posts quoted are 3 years old..... T

Dona Maria...boy if you LOVE goat cheese run dont walk....even the crepes have goats milk dulce de leche cant stand the stuff myself but tracey

No pantry, no basement, no attic, get this, no closets. Aaah the joy of a converted summer house. I currently have 4 cases of soda in my car trunk, the dog food and paper goods in the garage, and tomorrow the soda will be joined by a case of canned tomatoes that are now on sale. not 50lb bags of flour its 3 different 20lb bags of Rice that is the problem tracey

If you want to know why there isnt any lamb...although I can get it just fine in the supermarkets in North Jersey...take a month and read Centennial. America is/was cattle country, 100 years ago you could and most likely did get shot for bringing sheep to Colorado, Wyoming or Nebraska. There is even an anecdote in the book about a new preacher giving an extensive serman based on the shepards and lamb of Gd etc...he was asked to leave town, after his steak dinner. Not that you can get it easily but Icelandic lamb is the stuff of culinary dreams, the nightmare is the $60 FedEx bill tracey

Parking Parking Parking location and local income town council support and oh yeah Parking tracey

Judith you have a roof deck?? thats it we are coming over....someday tracey

California Pizza Kitchen rip off...carmelized onion, cheese, fresh garlic and teeny shrimp tracey

Being a northern heathen I make it from a mix and I make it sweet. Jiffy mix, hot cast iron skillet cook 2 strips of bacon and remove them pour mix into hot bacon fat then crumble bacon over the batter and drizzle with maple syrup pop skillet into hot oven I like it tracey

Soba having soba....hmmm I dont have my rooftop deck to grill on anymore gourmet night here, thats gourmet with a"hard" T at the end...hot dogs baked beans and mac n cheese tracey

Over the course of my life I had never had both a dishwasher and good knives....untill a few years ago and the day came when I put my Henkles in the dishwasher and the handles cracked at the rivets the Farberware crap still goes in there but its probabley not safe to be rumaging around with a knife point sticking up an aside...if you happen to be washing Sterling and stainless at the same time make sure they wont touch, the sterling can get scratched tracey

Where does the whole shomaker thing come in?...I had forgotten we used to call the chef Shoe tracey

My husband like a cold yogurt dill sauce with his,...I am addicted to a cherry jam, sherry vin glaze I have been doing on duck and lamb tracey

have you ever seen a commercial kitchen trash can with a lid?? nuff said well except that dish/hand towels are nasty...I keep 2 pretty ones on the oven handle and wipe everything with paper towels, wastefull, maybe - cleaner, yes tracey

There is often a great gap between the educated and the inteligent althought the math in baking classes drove me nuts tracey

Repurposed meats are great in salads and pasta dishes. I agree for the Steak a nice tangy salad would be perfect and for the Pork maybe a creamy pasta dish, sundried tomatoes or lightly cooked peppers and onion, or something Asian/noodley. Composed salads are fun too with steamed veg and grilled meats potatoes or pasta right in there. Especially with roasted chicken you can make chicken salads or salads with chicken. tracey
