since i can't drink real caffeine without gettinf horribly agitated(husband calls it psychotic) i don't visit any of them. if they provide me with a fresh brewed decaf coffee ( and can prove it is decaf) i will follow them anywhere...

sweetie -- as onle librarian to another(and we know what people who work in libraries are like) if you EVER make it to the states and new jersey i will a) cook for you and b) take you out for lunch at lou's place - course you may encounter tommy but that is another hazard

well........ at least you got a tan kris are you sure you aren't in poughkeepsie ny - this pretty much defines how my in-laws eat all the time(green vegetable - huh?) actually we just returned from a sibling vaca in northern vermont - great fresh fish, meat, sausage, chicken and.......... what's a vegetable? i bought bagged salad and I was the only one who ate it!!!!! don't despair - as long as you provide them the variation someday they may actually choose it( uh...do you guys think that's likely with my 49ish year old husband?)

uh.... can you please feed me? actually it is too freaking hot to eat so just made myself some iced tea(lady grey - my current favorite) and whacked it over some ice with lemon had some soy yoghurt before that then on to bed soon course when i wake up i will want a full breakfast while it is cool and before i head for the gym for rehab

Maybe we should put together a calendar of NJ Chefs and eGulleters with their blenders.

awsome for what it does but there are other levels of food/alcohol in the township i do like it for the bar food and brews bur i wish the music started earlier

in the fall you can cook for me anytime, baby mac and cheese - meatloaf in the summer anything grilled which is tricky since HIMSELF has decreed anything cooked on the grill can't be dark since it causes cancer(DO NOT ASK) - can we say ocd??????!!!!!! though i also do a lot of fish and crab salads and just did a potato salad that I will eat - not german which the husband wants but with cubed boiled potatoes, minced carrots, minced shallots, celery salt, dill, miracle whip, thawed frozen peas, and a touch of mustard. actually made spaghetti and meat sauce the other day. extra was frozen for use during the hawk watch when i just have to thaw it , cook pasta and make a salad with garlic bread

husband is suffering from some intestinal distress from his end of the vacation hike up to the catskill high peak region so..... steamed purple beans and golden squash with sesame oil and kosher salt boiled potato pieces trader joes (my new favoirte store at least once a month) crab cakes two hours later - dessert of a piece of kay's three berry pie with a tiny scoop of lactaid scoopfuls(100% lactose free) vanilla ice cream and a scoop of non-dairy whipped cream(for john) and a glass of chateau st jean fume blanc 2000.

address: 4 west shore trail (used to be chicken dun-rite) phone and name - don't know phone;Spartina(i think) cuisine - probably *sigh* italian will let you know as soon as i can get more info - probably next week since i will be single till thursday and can get out to do some exploring since i am single anyone want to explore on tuesday or wednesday?

Funny, these two dishes are part of ewaht defines a diner to me...The short list of foods I'd order at a diner include:breakfasts, BLT's, Souvlakis or gyros. our local diner - Paul and Christa's on rt. 181- has these. paul died this last winter but his daughter Christa still runs the place and they are greek. and they used to fight at the top of their voices in greek in the kitchen...an amazing spectacle to behold.

*sigh* mine was named Hubie - Hubie Hobart - the only man who never let me down that summer....

rail - glad you made it up to the northcountry... yeah, there's money up there since you are sitting almost on Lake Mohawk. krogh's makes an outrageous bacon and blue cheese burger. john likes their stouts anytime of the year - i like the red or if there is a wheat brewed i'll take that. arthur's is ok - just don't order a hambuirger on a busy night if someone else in the party orders steak. your order tends to end up under the heat lamp. plaza bistro has had about half it's regualr menu changed up since the last time rosie ate there. and there is a new place that opened up down toward the clubhouse. about 8 seats - haven't gotten to it yet but when i do will post. did you get a chance to stroll the boardwalk after you ate?

i love salads for dinner, too. just made one last night with grilled andouille sausage, aged parmesan, tomatoes, englihn cuckes and raspberry walnut vinaigrette another one we do especially if it is hot out is shrimp remoulade over mesculun. i have a recipe for a poached tuna that i cut into diamonds and serve over greens hmmmmm....that's all i can think of for now

friday night: takeaway rainbow roll - no fish eggs for husband large dinner salad of baby greens with aged parmesan, english cucumber, jersey fresh tomatoes, and grilled andouille sausage and a raspberry walnut vinaigrette tonight: husband is going into the city so perhaps reservations for me?

the first tomatoes from south jersey are coming in so the last few mornings i have had open faced tomato sandwiches on toast......

kim - where is the affair being held? that may help narrow down a bit. these are from all over. know corporate cafe from mt. arlington - ok but probably not what you are looking for. they did a function for one of the historical groups in the area but was more like what you aren't looking for.

no you don't - 4 for me from the list what about dq brazier? i've had their burgers damn... all this talk is making me hungry. i may have to stop somewhere on the way home.

no, tommy but i have found over the years that if i stop drinking all together my eyes don't get quite as tired when i'm out on the watch scanning the sky for 8-12 hours a day. don't know why but that's what i do....

john and i got married twice - once on long island with my family, once in the hudson valley with his(his mom announced she wouldn't be at our wedding on long island because it was too far to travel). on the island my maid of honor, mom and i catered the whole affair with salad, clam quiche, cold cuts. pate, homemade breads. then we went out to a local fish restaurant and had fish and chips. later we picked up a girlfriend and her fiance and went to a local tavern where husband, who was pretty snookered, told the wait staff to feed the french fries he didn't eat to the"rats in the alley" and promptly nodded off sitting on a juke box going full blast in the hudson valley we were married at the cottonwood inn in millbrook the site of all kinds of reed get togethers from years past. a hot and cold buffet then we went back up to hudson where i lived and went for chinese.

subtle - no there is a wish list for presents posted on the fridge for use by in-laws for birthday/holiday presents - otherwise i would get such hideous things as the evil witch from 'little mermaid' muumu in blue and green currently there is an order sheet from a catalog with some cool napkins, etc.;a subscription form to sante; and on the list requests for cheap champagne flutes, a meat pounder and pretty recipe cards for my birthday i always buy myself something - last year it was a subscription to a food quarterly. haven't decided this year. since i am a librarian i don't buy a book until after i have read it(usually on interlibrary loan)

suzi. huh? what did i miss! nothing, my sweet was talking about bringing a winners circle pie but 21 sept is the peak of the broadwing hawk migration which is my passion - even more than sex and food during this time i do the LEAST amount of cooking i have to and stock the freezer with precooked protein or we do takeaway from our favorite sushi /chinese restaurants if you were on foodbytes you might remember me from screen name henbird and since you missed the steak sannie trip in dec to american grill you would have missed kimwb's and my discussion of hawk migration - across the bar (i'm a natural resource volunteer at picatinny arsenal and was a nj natural resource volunteer for several years)

you'll recognize Rosie immediately. she's a tall quiet one. and tommy looks like humphrey bogart in "casablanca" but shorter.....

go ahead and do it - that's what winner's circle pie is (can't legaly call it derby pie). if the birds are flying i can't guarantee that i'll make it there even to deliver dessert if i make it there with whatever contribution it will be a bonus i guess (sorry but when the hawk migration is going i'm really focused on that rather than anything else - this is why my freezer had thomas e watson frozen meats, the local sushi parlor/chinese restaurant is on speed dial and HORROR OF HORRORS i actually stop drinking for three months - it IS that important)

"pear orgasm" which would also work with figs or peaches i think - cool dumpling will have to try this since the husband finally got home had a glass of port and cheese and crackers waiting for him(since i conviced him he could eat a bit of cheddar and it wouldn;t bother his intestines he is in culinary heaven). followed up with red snapper veracruz, trader joe's spanish rice and a zucchini frittata. finished for him with a few pieces of valhrona bar...... my friend 'chelle took me to trader joe's in florham park, nj..... oh, my god soooooo cool. bought all kinds of organic stuff for use in the future

we are back from poughkeepsie and john's grandma is doing well on the day after her 101st birthday... stopped for fresh corn at our local fruit and vegetable stand made chili with black beans toasted tortillas corn on the cob corona with lime dessert: peach and raspberry pie i made on friday - very juicy but tasted good
