on those boneless, skinless chicken breasts, stanley.

And what does my brother say? "Well, she's not you. She loves Olive Garden." OLIVE GARDEN!!???? And she warrants a third date with my darling little brother?? danielle, my question would be - how does your brother feel about Olive Garden? if he's ok with it - sounds like a match to me. my mother-in-laws idea of a good place to eat out(birthday or special holiday) is Steak & Stein or Red Lobster. actually all my Olive Garden coupons go up to her but send me your brother's snail mail address and i pop one in the mail for him needless to say johnnybird has had his ideas of "good" food elevated.

no ac and the basement with 2 dehumidifiers going is at 80F. way too hot for me to eat though i am going through 1/2 gallon each of tea and lemonade mixed. ohhhhhh, a nice red gravy with sausage and meatballs over spaghetti braised lambshanks venison stew roasted capon with the leftovers being made into a pot pie chris - take heart. the last line of thunderstorms should be through you in an hour or two and the temperature is supposed to drop by 10-15 degrees

oh, yeah that roast beef sandwich. love meat for breakfast and since you are in the middle of a meat market - no brainer. though i might have gone for the kidneys or maybe a quick liver fry. on a plate with some bread and cheese and onions. remember these guys are in the middle of their work day, though. 7-9 am when you probably got up about 2 - so you have a sandwich and a glass of wine then go back to cutting meat...i see no problem with that. couse i am a morning woman

kinda like a cross between "cooks tour" and dave atell. cool to put a face with the name who's material i have enjoyed reading... thank you louisa chu loved the point of food being something appealing to all the senses. with an inlaw family whose idea is you eat whatever so you can carry on and have no pleasure out of it now i begin to understand some of my heritage(grandmother born in lyon) also really liked the bakery stuff since i used to do that when i was much, much younger. the feel of the yeast dough, the smell of it as it proofs and rises, so wonderful... now on to mad money with jim cramer p.s. and i am happy that tony's pronunciation of the former market was more like mine than our aix en provence bookeeper's of the former meat market genvieve: it's lays all- lays suzi : i thought it was leh zahl (all phoenetically written)

just picked up some peaches at our local farmers market from windy brow farms. they aren't quite where i want them to be just yet but they smell like peaches. they are on rt. 519 near newton, nj

[This was my first time to make pancakes from scratch. In my previous life, I always used those little milk carton looking things you buy from the freezer section. Since I've been married to Russ, he's made the pancakes. I went for it today, after seeing the beautiful photos on this thread. I used Spagetttti's recipe, except that I put most of the blueberries right in the batter, dusting them first with flour so the blue didn't spread too much through the pancakes. Some I placed on the pancakes as they were cooking, to balance them. I was very pleased with my first effort. I can do this! ←

well.... he will be on regis and kelly on monday(hmmm... 5 second delay) and he and his family were just featured in the newest US magazine what can i say - in my job i have to skim all the popular media as well as all my reviewing media for work

am single for the next few days - johnnybird is off to vermont with a friend to fish(11 pm edt - they just pulled into the campsite. they got a late start - imagine that ) a ribeye steak on the grill. with oven fries and succotash(john is gone for the next few days ). a few glasses of a red bordeaux. dessert was dulce non leche(soy ice cream with a caramel sauce - minus the cream) with some leftover chocolate sauce and cool whip(sorry guys - i can make a beautiful whipped cream but i can't eat it). tomorrow is the local farmers market - will have to see what is good. though i am interested in doing a souffle. course i need a souffle dish. cheese souffle made with some local organic cheddar. some salad made with local veges.

wow melissa. do you have mud/thunderstorm season like we used to over in fredonia? love the price chopper - they haven't made them down to nw nj yet . so cool you guys can work in the same university and it seems there isn't that town vs gown problems so many places have. do you fish for salmon in the spring? when johnnybird went to ESF(SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse) he used to go up several times to around oswego/mexico to fish. how about my favorite fish(even more than flounder) walleye? or are there guys who sell off their boats? and those burgers look very good - can i have blue? with onions?

we know that johnnybird's friend, andres, has been let loose by his other half for a night of serious drinking when he shows up with a straw behind his ear. he says it keeps the foam down and allows him to ingest more alcoholic product quicker without becoming bloated. course back in the 80's we used straws and spoons for different things

i'm single for the next week or so and tomorrow is supposed to be quite nice. i picked up a new york strip steak- a little over a pound in weight- at the butchers. i'm thinking some coleslaw and grilled potato wedges. i also found a nice recipe for buffalo chicken wraps with grilled chicken tenders. perhaps tuesday for that recipe

cool, john. now there's a Falls View Grill outpost up in Vernon. is it worth a visit?

Personally, if I knew that Lou was going to be at AAG that night, I'd go there--a friendly(?) eG face to welcome you after a long flight sounds good to me! And it's a given that he'll eat well there. uh... isn't thursday lou's regular day off? maybe friday or saturday? i'm free (and single for the weekend and most of the next week) quite honestly if i'm flying in somewhere i want to wipe the grime off before i do anything...

oohhhhhh....western omelet, homefries and toast. put the omelet on the toast add ketchup and it is heaven... sliced tomato on toasted rye with miracle whip and maytag blue

with the horrible heat and humidity i have had a pot of tea going everyday for iced tea. double strength made with decaf and decaf green. then i mix it 2/3 tea, 1/3 lemonade. i also just today made a mix of 4 cups water, 1 cup sugar and 4 stalks of lemongrass cut and crushed. brought it all up to a boil, steeped for 3 hours and strained. just mixed 1/2 cup of this with some ice and the tea. not bad at all. am thinking of using the infusion with some sparkling water or champagne.

usual before concert cookout for the revelers: beer water(for the one in recovery) lemonade and iced tea (for the grill chef - me) ribs that had been dry rubbed, cooked slowly in the oven and finished on the grill hamburgers nathan's hot dogs coleslaw slllooowwww baked beans macaroni salad then made them sandwiches for the after concert gorging, shipped them off and took a cool shower

unlike portia it is an ugly, overcast, dreary day here in nw nj. the concert goers(went to see the johns - fogerty and mellancamp and are going to ozzfest tonight ) are not yet up. just finished my first coffeemilk. am debating wether to have another or not. but i am craving a western sandwich - onion, peppers, ham and eggs on toast. guess what everyone is having for breakfast today?

anyone who wants to visit nw nj is welcome here. not kidding. i grew up on eastern li and went through many, many hurricanes before i was 12 because of the storm tracks. i grew up feeding nimo, pse&g, mid-hudson, central hudson, con ed and jcp&l linemen couse our lilco guys went north for ice storms and south for other storms. it ws cool meeting all those guys. hang in there and be safe

chicken satay with two sauces: peanut and sweet and spicy thai slaw with daikon a bottle of Champagne Gosset

sunday got some really good looking radishes - red, white and purple. made the radish soup from barbara kafka's book. nice and spicy with little crunchy bits of radishes mixed into the main soup that had been pureed. next time i think i may add a bit of chopped granny smith at the last moment as well.

it used to be fancy feast and <SHUDDER> Acme tinned sardines(not for human consumption) it still is : tomatoes mild jalapenos sauerkraut(drained and cooked in beer) bean sprouts bamboo shoots mandarin orange segments jackfruit black olives pineapple fermented cabbage black beans white beans kidney beans pinto beans

excellent, pan... i'm looking forward to your food suggestions to pass along to my bil who lives on the west side but works in queens blog on with a budget...

well, the pickings are getting better- raspberries and blackberries - with some blueberries from home this became a steamed pudding fresh carrots - cooked then added shallot and dill and vinaigrette radishes - some mixed with some cukes in a vinaigrette; others made into a radish soup bi- color corn - this will be for dinner tonight, edited to say eh...i should have waited aged cheddar yellow and green squash - sauteed with some garlic and onion can't wait to see what will come in next week
