chocolate and tomato poop and salsa - veryyyy impressive yesterday it was lasagna. luckily a local restaurant has a lunch special - 9.95 for entree and salad. very good lasagna with a fresh tomato sauce. i did restrain myself from licking the plate... two weeks to go <SIGH> -

plus you can throw the coupons you need in the envelope.... i shop in usually two stores each week. when i go through the circulars i write down what i am buying in each store in order of where i will find it in the store. if there is a coupon involved a c goes next to the item and i list the price on sale. i don't abbreviate things - one time my grandfather was sent to the store with a list my mom made out; there was gr. che. on it and he brought home green cheer instead of grated cheese. i pull the "i need to replace this staple somewhere" off the list on my fridge and pop it in with the to buy list. the only place i don't make a list for is my farm store or green grocer. i cruise those guys. it's tough being a virgo librarian

brooks - of course ted williams was first (followed by his acolyte carl yazstremski) but i hate to tell you finding zatarin's here in nj is next to impossible!!! can you set up a humanitarian drop for us who used to be able to get it? (you do know i have my tounge firmly planted in my cheek, right? ) but only kinda since you really can't find anything but the zatarin's rice easily up here in north jersey. we can get mccormicks crab boil though i used to add lemon, garlic and celery salt as well to augment the taste.

BAD PUPPY!!!!

thanks rochelle but i would come to be your kitchen slave only. and only before the beginning of hawkwatch(1 sept). the greek girls would so NOT accept me and ... guess i have an at-ti-tude. tapenade isn't that strong a flavor really. depends on the olives and their proportions you use. ok- use commercial black and green olives well drained with minced sundried tomatoes, pimentoes, garlic, flat leaf parsley and good extra virgin olive oil. for the lamb burgers use minced garlic, flat leaf parsley, cumin and green onions. grill 4-6 minutes per side. better than anything i have ever had. find greek yoghurt though whatever you do. it is such a different taste and it is so thick you won't have to strain it through a coffee filter like i usually have to do. thin cut chicken breast strips marinated in olive oil and lemon for a short time then on the rosemary?

only long in terms of time (especially if there is an accident on 80/287/10) wish i could get here more often for dinner - hmmmmm maybe lunch at the bar is my favorite after all. lou does make me feel welcome and comfortable (important if i am dining alone) and most of the items mentioned are available at lunch. cool - he liked my fav - the vegetable strudel. still have to try that calamari but .... the strudel lures me like a siren............ hmmmm........ let me know. as long as it isn't during the hawkwatch season( 1 sept- 1 dec) would love to meet you for lunch - or if it is an off night at work for dinner. will bring the johnnybird if he's in town.

OOH! OOH! OOH! what production? and what part are you playing? (sorry abra - former theatre geek here - since i work nights i can't do performances anymore) love the berries,too. ever think about making a steamed pudding with mixed berries and a rum sauce for your clients? sorry - toooooo many points i'm sure for you. do make sure you make all your points daily, though. sometimes, especially in the heat it is a struggle i know. love the pictures and your food. thank you -
wow- interesting since 'chelle and her three children will touch nothing with caffeine in it. do you suppose that since she is originally from england and was raised there they are more strict? also matthew - the sil who's wedding party we were at - his dad who is up in the church's education section, mom and siblings who are temple recommend never - and i do mean never- touch caffeine including hot cocoa.

rochelle- what about a mixed olive tapenade on crostini? a salad with a lemon and garlic vinaigrette? spanakopita! spanakopita! spanakopita! spanakopita! spanakopita! (get the feeling i kinda like spanakopita?) would they eat lamb burgers in pita or souvlaki with greek yoghurt tzasiki ? apricots sound good maybe with greek yoghurt with honey mixed in? can i come? pleeeeeaaasssseeeeeeeee?

my dearest friend here in nj is lds. we have talked many times when first getting to know each other about what is and isn't ok to serve to her or her children since i was interested in not making them uncomfortable when visiting us. it is the caffeine that is prohibited so i make sure i always have caffeine free soda, coffee and tea available when they come over. when we celebrated the wedding of one of her daughters at the local lds meeting house everything was caffeine free including a really yummy punch. neighbors of ours are church of christ philadelphian. when we get together the prohibitions are shellfish and pork. luckily we have plenty of finned fish and game we all love to eat

i decided to wait until her birthday to honor the influence mrs. child had on me and my cooking. i decided to go through the julia child and company and julia child and more company books and came up with some things i will make for breakfast/brunch tomorrow (as long as the power holds out and we aren't flooded). tonight i made a gazpacho salad from jc & more company and her version of homemade english muffins from jc & company. tomorrow i'll do the eggs benedict, serve with the gazpacho salad and fresh macerated fruit for dessert - i picked up some local peaches and melons so that should do nicely. two recipes of hers i had never cooked before in respect for her ability to teach us all.

New York Magazine on Long Island Wines

in the print version pindar was mentioned with duck walk and martha clara as being the anthesis of paumanok and lenz - mass-production, industrial wines. what i want to know is where is osprey domain and pugilese? -
actually you do since if you know anyone who went to notre dame and was in a fraternity they used to have "canoe races". they would fill a canoe with beer, all the guys in the house would sit around the canoe and start to drink. if anyone threw up then they had to stop, refill the canoe and start again. told to me buy an nd alumni and former boyfriend
