I supposed you could run them through a food proccesor and use for garnish... or bake them into bread pudding for a nice texture ... tracey

Oh well, nothing to tell about the SIL's event ... cold cuts, my favorite potato salad, Mother-in-law's tuna macaroni salad and something resembling baked ziti. the cake was covered with gloppy supersweet "buttercream" and I had 3 pieces tracey we also got to take to potato salad home

Great Now I am thinking about pulled chunks of roasted chicken with a good funky cheese melting around them onto the toast with egg running down the side NICE going to the diner now

Randi Roasted potato wedges will end up costing alot less than baked...no butter or sour cream needed tracey

I have accumulated 3 good looking dinners from this week, hmm actually the steak may have been last week chuckeye steak with sesame brocolli,seaweed salad and tater tots char sui with pineapple chunks, basmati rice and sesame green beans mahi mahi cooked in a foil packet with shallots wine and butter with squished boiled then browned red potatoes and asparagus tracey

Rover Skirt steak is one of my favorites once you get past the price. I have never had much luck panfrying it though, I usually marinate with worchestershire, garlic etc or even better, spring for D.L.Jardines Fahita marinade and then grill to Med Rare. The meat seems to exude too much moisture for succesful pan cooking, it ends up swimming. tracey

Ummm no one with "the power" noticed yet? tracey

""Still, the fact that Le Cirque could produce a meal of this caliber -- a meal on par with what's being served at the handful of top restaurants in the city -- indicates that something serious is going on."" I somehow find this a disturbing statement, the realization that Le Cirque had somehow become Tavern on the Green Tracey

Daiso has already dropped that policy. There are an increasing number of items that are sold for more than 100 yen, so I must be careful. Obesity is a social problem in Japan, too. The term metabolic syndrome has become an everyday term. We do eat meat. I must confess that when I was small, say, 40 years ago, meat was still a kind of "luxury item". We used to eat more fish and other seafood. But now, meat is often less expensive than fish. The Japanese think of meat in terms of 100 g, not 1 kg. Very roughly, beef is at least 168 yen per 100 g. Likewise, Pork: 78 Chicken thigh: 88 Chicken breast: 48 ← Meat prices vary so much here day to day and store to store and the price is always lower if you buy a package that weighs more than 3 pounds.. This past week boneless chicken breast was $1.88 at one store and $4.99 per pound at another in the same town. Fish is almost always more expensive than "store brand" meat tracey

Some delis will take the Genoa salami and cut the whole piece in half when they open it...some cut straight some on a steep angle, which makes each slice elongated rather than round. Anyone even notice this or have an opinion on which slice is better/preferred. T

Then there is the differences in the brand or model of slicers, a #3 on a Fleetwood is very different than a #3 on a Hobart a milimeter is 1/25th of an inch - but the look on a co-workers face when someone ordered 100 grams of meat was priceless....deli scales measure 1 pound as 100 so if someone orderes 6 ounces the employee needs to know that that is app .36 on the scale because of course 16oz goes into 1.00 pound 6 times carry the 4 which ultimately means that 100 grams is .20 on the deli scale carry on tracey cool no one noticed I got the math wrong

20 years I had to listen to the thicker - no thinner - noooo thinner kill em all just kidding but cutting for a sandwich is different than cutting to wrap, lets say on the right setting 1/4 pound of Boars Head Ham or Turkey should be 7 slices for wrapping ... I went a touch thicker if there was no request, round items (bologna-salami) would get layed on the paper one to the left one to the right just slightly overlapping in the middle prosciutto got shingled on tissue ham turkey and RB just stacked square things stacked with a "twist" I really dont eat cold cuts anymore tracey

I went there a few times in the 80s it was pretty good...of course I was in my late teens You are forgetting about those of us that get dragged to Little Italy to see where Aunt whats-her-name lived right next to John Gotti's place....at which point some guy leaning on a wall overhears dear Auntie's name and spends an hours telling you about how she was best friends with his mom and of course we remember Cousin so-and-so the marinated carrots at Benito II are amazing except last time I was eating there someone parked at the curb opened their door and held a naked toddler out to pee on the sidewalk tracey wheres my bridge?

Well if I were to drop dead ....better Bacon than a Bus

A co-worker has thoughtfully turned our office into a diner He provides bagels and pastries on Monday and Wednesday...the occasional Bao and egg tart....and 2 weeks ago brought in an electric skillet to supplement the toaster-oven and microwave. Of course frying pan day came with cartons of egg beaters, virgina ham and sourdough rolls. gee and I was wondering why I gained 25 pounds it could be the filing cabinet drawer full of cookies, cheese crackers and peanut M&Ms back to the diet pepsi and a banana for breakfast I promise tracey

I thought rosemary was indestructable......cut it back and see what happens tracey

Last nights dinner was pure Evil, and fat and salt and shatteringly crisp and creamy.... and could have been improved only by using fresh corn on the cob instead of frozen. And it was from Chili's I refuse to be ashamed It was the best country fried steak, smashed potatoes and white gravy I have ever had...the corn was Eh except for the powerful amount of butter and salt, that I never could have used on my own tracey

OK I found it ...this is the bologna sandwich I meant http://columbusoh.about.com/od/restaurants/a/grtavern.htm tracey he he he where's waldo?

Just look at a supermarket fish case...salmon, something flounder-like, frozen tuna and cod or halibut. Those would be the everyday fish, you might get the occasional swordfish or bluefish in season but all anyone around here seems to buy is frozen shrimp. tracey

Actually isnt there some special - store made - thick cut - BBQed bologna somewhere in Ohio? I had this realy good cross between bologna and meatloaf in Germany over the winter it was called Leiberkass tracey
