what a great kitchen - i covet it tremendously. so sorry you have all those lovely windows but no "rare celestial object " to brighten them. interesting that you mention ame. i was having a discussion with a patron and they mentioned this. i'd be interested to taste it. can't wait for the dino visit.

I've been to the Carrier Dome (saw the Rolling Stones in Sept '89). ah... the young Stones... hah johnnybird saw them at carrier in 1981(he was a stumpy at the time - student at school of environmental science and forestry- alrighty then a chorus of i'm a lumberjack anyone?) i saw them twice in 1975 - rich stadium and buffalo memorial aud

which was koch's (pronounced cook's)brewery. we used to go on the brewery tour at least once every two months or so. usually had molson's import at the dorm parties. actually drank more jenny's pee when first hanging out with johnnybird in his hometown of poughkeepsie suzi suc fred class of 76

at work right now or i would be in the hot tub with a bottle of nicholas feuillette rose but m & m's peanut butter flavor and trying to keep order on the flipping computers. just had a patron signing in say to me " i bet you feel like a hostess in a restaurant" why yes, i do.....

my local pathmark has oscar mayer corndogs for 2.24 - half off they also are selling fisher boy fishsticks

i just did this for the first time this year using the recipe from my old paperback fanny farmer cookbook though i used a bit less salt than they did and no saltpeter. after letting it sit for about a week i rinsed it off yesterday morning, coated it with a spice mix and oven cooked it a la fifi. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=34453 this is one that will be added to the repitoire.

well? how abotu now. We're less than 1 week away fromt he official start of Spring. I think it's nearly safe to say the "S" word. I see a dethatching rake in my future, and a few hours spent behind my tiller. Ooh, the smell of fresh, most earth...cannot be too far away. Course, we're only expected a high of 36?F today. But June is right around the corner!! NO NO NO NO NO. BAAAADDDDD hopleaf. i got the first half of my gurney's order(monkeyflowers) and my new, self watering window boxes yesterday. today - 4-8 inches of snow. hope the hostas don't freeze when they get here next week

great thread and swoodywhite you write so well, it is a pleasure to read your reviews. all the suggestions - i'm just sorry we're going to be in rehoboth/lewes for only one night next month. there are soooo many places i want to try. hmm..... maybe i can convince my friends robert and tom and their son zachary to meet me for a few days in july.

thanks lovestoeatatl for bumping this thread up. we will be in key west for 3 days and have filed the suggestions on this thread in my food file for road trip 2004.

growing up in the early 1960s we used to go to riverhead(county seat of suffolk county ny) about every other week to pick up forms at the stationery store and go to some stores - REMEMBER this is before internet access and on the east end of long island this was the biggest town we could get to, the nearest place with a mcdonalds until southampton got a burger king in the 80's. there was this diner/drugstore/candy sore over near the train station we always went to and had denver(western) omlet sandwiches. it was our favorite thing and i hadn't thought about them till now. always well cooked eggs(nothing runny) with red and green peppers, onions and ham. no cheese, though. on toasted bread with miracle whip and ketchup. i want one now...but will be strong......

here in northern nj it is just soooooooo annoying and the central casting actors are just so - perky. kinda like gerbils on uppers That's better than the Quiznos hamster-creatures on downers. mark, sweetie at least the quiznos spongmonkeys HAVE some personality. they are more like gerbils on acid than downers, anyway have i mentioned i HATE perky?

stopped after work to pick up a bit of fish but my purveyors were out of flounder or sole(what i wanted). they did have the first of the shad roe but johnnybird won't eat that. picked up a piece of red snapper. went home to have a date with the husband and then make dinner. unfortunately he was being mr. electrician and didn't finish till about 6 pm(i got home at 320). finally he gave up trying to make the light in the kitchen work and just flipped the breakers so we could have heat and light in the rest of the house. luckily the stove, microwave and fridge worked. since dinner was so late(7pm) i didn't feel like eating much. made red snapper baked with white pepper, kosher salt and thyme. microwaved sweet potatoes and finished with white pepper,kosher salt, soy margarine and tipple of grade b maple syrup. yellow beans were done on the stovetop with water(to steam), some spanish olive oil to finish, white sesame seeds, kosher salt and white pepper. john has leftover fish and sweet potatoes. i ate beans and sweets. unfortunately i was out of molasses so the ginger cake will have to wait till monday when i plan on doing the piece of beef i'm corning a la fifi. why not on wednesday - i'm freaking orange - it's me husband's da's family that is green.

really? mixing your wines? really liked your description but i still would have gone for tir na nog but perhaps you mean passable not pausable?

kim i've got the mag here. do you want me to send it?

k inspired by your post i made gimlets for the first time last night. they are really yum... thanks. sam - i really liked the picture of issy guarding the laundry.

but kris - what was for dessert? thursday - at work leftover mac and cheese buffalo burger red kale cooked with onions and shallots in apple cider and cider vinegar dessert - 5 hershey dark chocolate kisses

absolutely- great grandmother was orginally from rhode island and always had pie for breakfast. "apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze" my husband - the barbarian- doesn't understand or appreciate the nuances of the tiny cubes of extra sharp cheddar taken with each mouthful of flaky pastry and seasoned apples.

i loved this when my favorite bass did the title role: http://www.samuelramey.com/

lou- have to second tir na nog. we ate here before the csn&y concert and thoroughly enjoyed it. try the shepherd's pie but think about beer rather than wine just this once. enjoy

johnnybird and i are sooooo opposite on this though like several others we do enjoy eggs for dinner. he has to get up at the "ungodly hour" for this week and next of 6am(any time before 8 is ungodly for him to rise) to be at training. his stomach won't handle much first thing so it is usually: toasted white bread with soy spread and toast dope or cranberry orange coffee cake with orange frosting or cinnamon rolls with lemon frosting this is eaten before he leaves the house. on the weekends he sleeps in and i work so i will many times make up french toast with baked turkey bacon or the divine free-range chicken breakfast sausages we just got from trader joe's and let him zap it(why did i think i didn't want a microwave - it's perfect for john to heat stuff up in). course i'm having the leftover mac and cheese or stir fried rice, especially if i know it will be a rough day at work and i won't get my 15 minute break and i'll be too hungry to answer those questions properly.

try pace picante sauce... got addicted to it when we lived in east texas. much better for breakfast than salsa or tabasco

I'm with you. Chocolate cake with whipped cream is even better. so is bill cosby in his classic routine "dad is great \ he gives us chocolate cake"

kath congratulations on the cooking - i love mac and cheese and yours sounds both wonderfully rich but also hilarious - blorting, what a perfect description. according to another thread our love of this dish makes us rather slutty... . ok i cop to that i had forgotten about stewed tomatoes though ours were never that elaborate. stewed tomatoes served over toast in little bowls when i was growing up - blech- no wonder i forgot about them. keep up the fun - sometimes it is more fun to have others cook for you, sometimes to cook for others and for the rest of the times - eat out
