  1. I'm trying to find Trisol, a wheat starch for frying. Only source is a UK company that won't ship to US (although they ship everywhere else, jerks). Any ideas?
  2. Got a source for trisol? Seems that La Tienda nolonger sells it.
  3. Its NYC. A drink at Bemelmans is about ten bucks for 1.5oz. Its for charity. Twenty bucks is nothing to give to charity and you are getting a drink too. Make it $30. You just have to present the proposition properly.
  4. Charge a lot and pour fairly. So for charity in NYC, I'd say $15-20 and 2 oz.

    Crunchy wine

    Crunchy means the wine needs to be decanted.
  6. How do you say "Bret Favre"? Unless you pronounce it "Fav-ruh" you are incorrect in France. But you say" this isn't France and he and everyone else says Farv" . And I say exactly.
  7. Pizza, duh.
  8. Seems a bit short. Why would it be different from beef tenderloin?

    Dinner! 2011

    Venison tenderloin (courtesy of a generous friend) with mushrooms in marsala and lemon braised spinach. Tasted much better than the phone-photo looks http://forums.egullet.org/public/style_emoticons/default/angry.gif
  10. Get some Pappy Vanwinkle if you can. Needs one small cube.

    Powdered Mushrooms

    I just got a bunch or cheap shiitakes and plan on making mushroom powder. Do I roast first or just dry and grind?
  12. Yeah me too. Early stupidity/attitude never gets better. Anyone who is bad the first day doesn't get a second day.
  13. Very Texan trait.
  14. Three written warnings and then a firing. If part time I don't think you even need the warnings. Depends on the state of course.
  15. Let him/her go. Its only a matter of time before a big screw-up.
  16. Thanks all!
  17. Open and chewy would be the thing
  18. What bread is best for panini made at home? I like a crusty bread in a panini but a baguette or even a hoagie roll goes stale so fast. Is there a frozen bread that can be baked a la minute?
  19. Chipotle-- Not even Bobby Flay can say it right.
  20. Eh. I think its not such a big deal if a proper Italian says "prosciutto" and my deli guy says "proshute". I think Giada's exaggerated Italian pronunciations are comical and past the point of proper diction eg her "maaas-car-pon-aay". I'll take an honest "proshute" over a pretentious "maaas-car-pon-aaay" any day.
  21. The French have a ministry to assure that foreign words are Frenchified. A non french food term would not be pronounced according to the language of its home, but rather in a frenchy way. The consensus of this thread is that they are wrong to do this, no?
  22. Great idea. Ice cube sized lumps of gelatinized flavor. Ready to enrich a dish made in a hurry. Waiting patiently in the cubbard until needed. Except they suck. Ubersalty. Useless.
  23. My bullshit detector is beeping.
