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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

All of the above

My ex-boyfriend (whose face, thank God, grows more and more dim with every passing day) claimed to be "allergic" or was seriously opposed to the following:
ALL fruits and ALL vegetables. All . No salads. No juices. No side of broccoli. No haricots verts. No ragouts. No roasted vegetable pasta. No fresh summer tomato with salt. Nothing . He said that fruits and vegetables made his throat swell up.
He ate no chocolate. He ate NO cheese, not even processed cheese food slices or Colby or string cheese, much less any "weird" cheese I might have had lying around. Wine. Caramel. Yogurt. Hard liquor, which was too bad, because he drove me to drink. Condiments other than ketchup, and that only with French fries, and those only McDonald's-type cut: no crinkle-cut or shoestring potatoes for him, he claimed the texture became too "mealy." This excluded hash browns or American fries or baked potatoes or mashers from his diet as well. A piece of potato that had been fried had also better not have any skin left on it--potato skin was a no-no. Bread in most incarnations--he'd order a hamburger, and eat only the meat. He'd eat brown-cardboard toast at breakfast joints with horrid fake jelly, but turn his nose up at my mother's sublime homemade bread.
He would Not Eat Butter--he wouldn't even buy butter for me to eat at his house. No pickles. No onion. All meat except plain grilled chicken breasts and hamburger patty was "gross" to him. He would not eat a piece of chicken that had been flavored in ANY way--even with lemon juice (no lemon! makes my throat swell up!) or olive oil (no! it has olives in it!) He would not eat roast chicken. He would not even eat ground beef, i.e., on nachos. He would not eat bacon, he would not eat roast beef, he would not eat sausage. He would not eat Thanksgiving turkey, or its stuffing. He would not eat Easter ham. The mere idea of getting him to try fish or seafood, or goose/duck/lamb/organ meats, or a freaking-ass pork chop, or even a piece of dark-meat chicken, was laughable. He'd never had a piece of steak--ANY steak--in his life. Barbecue sauce was out. Teriyaki? No way. No soy sauce. Fish sauce never crossed his mind once. Garlic--that's a laugh too, to think of him eating anything that garlic had even been near. Ever. Pasta: he would eat my homemade macaroni and cheese and my mother's lasagna, but that's all. No spaghetti. No ravioli. No noodle that was shaped unlike an elbow or a piece of toiletpaper.
He would not eat bagels. Cream cheese? Hah! Eggs were off-limits for him (another "allergy"). I used to thoroughly disgust him (through his mouthful of brown-cardboard toast) at breakfast joints by mopping up my runny egg yolk with my American fries. Salt and pepper, even, were "strange." Chutneys or jams or salsas were out. He wouldn't even eat junk food--oh wait, Doritos. He liked those. And Cheetos. He didn't drink coffee or tea or pop.
He DID eat: takeout Chinese from one particular place--but only Sweet/Sour chicken--no egg rolls, nothing that was "hidden." Plain. White. Rice. Tofu (??) The aforementioned Doritos and Cheetos. Grilled chicken breast. He used to come over to my house to grill enough chicken and make enough rice to last him an entire week, and mix it with taco sauce (NOT salsa). At. Every. Meal. He drank water, Corona (NO other beer) or Gatorade. The green kind.
He makes me, needless to say, want to puke.
Nothing will seem embarrassing or annoying after him. No one. Nothing.
EDIT: to say FritzBrenner, remember him?
Damn.
I would have whacked him with a frying pan long ago. I wonder how he came to be such a picky person.

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.

As opposed to the goody-two-shoes solids.

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

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.

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!

That and don't brandish it with wild abandon, making a scene for yourself and you'll be fine.
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:

Cardomon
Cumin
Coriander
Chili Flakes
Coconut Milk
