Here is something I dont know what the vinegar is for, but it seems similar to what I had read. The key behind a neat marbling in the article was a light background color and then a marbling of another color. Also, you can draw on your eggs with a wax crayon (clear if you want) and then dye it. the wax rub off afterwards and leave a white space. Ben

I think they used olive oil, but I imagine you could use canola or something like that. Ill see if ye old internet will reveal any more details.

No, I am pretty sure I am not diabetic. I just sort of get kinda shaky if I dont eat for a while. I am sure it is because of a drop in blood sugar, but not a result of eating sugar. Ben

On the coloring side, I hear if you dye the egg a background color, let it dry, then mix some oil in with a contrasting color and dye the egg again, you will get a cool marbling pattern. I think this was in a Martha Stewart Living article, but am not sure. Ben

I also want a flying car to go get my donuts in.

I get the shakes by 9:00 am if I dont eat breakfast.

Seared pork rib chops with maple bourbon flamed asian pears. Green beans on da side. I think I created the largest fireball in my kitchen yet last night! Yikes! Ben

Yeah, I have seen it called Skim Supreme. I do think it tastes better than regular skim, but give me whole instead. Also, my grandpa was a strong proponent of half and half in cereal. I strongly agree, but cannot justify the fat bomb that it is. Ben

As far as weight gain, I think it would depend on how much of it you drink. If you guys drink milk like crazy, you may wish to use 2% or 1%, but if you just use it from time to time, go with whole. I think that whole tastes much better and try to buy organic milk as well. I used to drink a ton of milk, but am now using it mostly in cooking or the ocasional bowl of cereal. Ben

You should rent it out for eGullet excursions.

So what can I do to persuade you to recreate the Haas bar?

Yep, Zeitgeist is where the Top Pot people got their start. FYI, Zeitgeist has wireless internet access if you are so inclined. They also have great coffee. Ben

That menu sounds wonderful! I certainly wish I could have gone and will continue to do so as the rest of these reviews pour in. Ben

Proscuitto wrapped Cod with maple vinegar glaze on top of golden beet greens, roasted golden beets, and roasted asparagus.

Excellent...

All of the above

Damn. I would have whacked him with a frying pan long ago. I wonder how he came to be such a picky person. Ben

My aunt makes pasties, but there have never been any nipples under these ones. They are a meat pie that resembles a calzone in shape. Hers are filled with a beef stew like mixture including beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, and a thick sauce. Some people like tons of ketchup on it, but I can't stand it. Ben

As opposed to the goody-two-shoes solids.

Awesome, yeah Anderson Brewing is great! Boont is the schnizzle fo' rizzle! Ben

Suvir, are you interested in how spices play in to Pastry? It seems to me that there has been more experimentation in that realm due to the trend of bridging savory ingredients with pastry. This generally leads to traditionally savory spices being infused with part of the dessert. Ben

Hmmm, I think that you mihgt be able to sneak in a camelback due to its slim profile, but the flask idea is proven. Also, instead of taking more 80 proof liquor, go with highproof rum! Ben

You think that I would do something so silly! I bet a camelback drinking system would work like a charm..

A bit of an indian curry type dish that I made up: It contained a bunch of C-words: Canola Oil Cinnamon Cardomon Cumin Coriander Chili Flakes Coconut Milk Chicken Onion Tomato Yams It was tasty too!

I know that nightscotsman makes a mean Panna Cotta, perhaps he will drop in and enlighten us.. Also mamster wrote an article on the lovely stuff. Enjoy! Ben
