Smear with butter.

Americana, Russ. No impact in Canada or Europe. Even James Beard is a nobody outside the U.S.

"Beefcarver 30: No More Fun. Now it's Just Meat"

Oh no. They have the recipe for fun. That's why the world is going to hell in a handbasket. There's no more fun.

"Beefcarver 10: Beefcarver vs Freddie and Jason."

"Blood of the Beefcarver." This time it's personal.

Very nice, fimbul. Let us know how the catering turns out.

I found a bio here. Not really the kind of cuisine I'm interested in.

No. Who is she? Apparently around for a while.

Never heard of her before.

Welcome, Suzie. There's no trick. I went back and tried the link and it worked. Try again.

Apple slicer. Ha ha. Have you ever seen Jacques Pepin do tourne? Very hot.

Nero, doing tourne is just One of Those Things. But it is useful. Believe it or not. I hardly ever flip it, just turn with fingers of left hand. I do it with a chef's knife these days. Though I usually have assistants do it. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Sometimes I tourne daikon or cucumber for simmering. Potatoes not so much. Come to think of it, I don't so much do it as have it done. Ha ha ha.

Welcome, Paul. Yes, I prefer baskets. Don't touch. Flip. Decant. That's it.

Heyheyhey. It's not stinky. Just talkative.

I've never really liked the cedar plank thing. And there is no way that I am going to waste salmon skin. I'd rather throw away the fish. I grill small fish, like sardines and mackerel. /Marlene, I guess it depends what you watch. I used to watch FN Canada. But now just DVDs.

Very nice, Xanthippe. I've never had olallieberry.

Did they use Steve's Americanstan Sushi article?

Foam and spam. Foam, spam, and beans. Foam, eggs, spam. Spam, foam, beans, and eggs...

KNorthrup, just so. And that's no problem. Unless they make a big deal about how disgusting mushrooms are and why the kitchen doesn't have their brand of ketchup.

Peter, quite agree. Adequate warning for substantial changes, great. Interesting. Yes. Last minute substantial changes, you're not interested in the food. You want your idea of what you want. Eat your ideas. Not this food. Go/ exeunt stage left followed by bear. (Of course someone asking for a slight change can always be accomodated.)

Grilling baskets definitely for larger fish.

Gojuchang is Korean miso paste with chile.

Now, that's funny, Spencer.
