  1. So very sad. He'd been posting all sorts of family archive stuff on Facebook for months. Wonder if he had a hint.
  2. Welcome. We are almost neighbors! Have you considered other food-ish options like catering etc which could have a lower start-up cost?
  3. Your friend needs a a broken-off toothpick into his door key hole. Weekly.

    Popcorn...Revisited

    Commercial additives might be less benign than assumed... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3029043/
  5. We had a rainy summer , mostly. Our tomatoes got the wilt and we got a meager harvest. And a squirrel got our lone apple and all the peaches on the smaller tree. But the big tree bore like a monster ,and the peppers and lettuce/chard were great.

    Amazing. How'd you cook it so evenly?
  7. Sensible distinction. I'm not sure I've heard it before though.

    Very good point. The prefix "Philly" on a cheesesteak pretty much means it sucks and misses the point. Like the one the Milwaukee Brewers served Phillies writers that was made with hamburger meat.

    This was just a local place. One of a zillion. Good steak though.

    I used mustard and parm and sharp cheddar when I've made this recipe. Mustard helped a lot. So does adding pickled jalapenos. But in the end its still M&C.

    Smoked paprika chicken salad with bacon grspes and cracklings
  18. We used instacart during the height of pandemic fear (as opposed to the actual disease peak). I supposed if I was housebound instacart would be adequate, but otherwise no. The shoppers sub without asking or just plain misidentified products. (Crescent rolls are not biscuits). And they have a surcharge if the product is heavy. Like a big bottle of soda.
  19. Wish I ate there. Lidia, a small chain, was the worst Italian food I've ever had.
  20. Having eaten in Lydia's restaurants I have no desire for her books
  21. I find that stars provide me a way to interpret the review. I'd rather read the prose, but a positive-ish reading review that gets only ** tells me its not horrible but not great either. Stars alone are no good. Prose is better with the stars...to me. And there's the issue of stars not saying the same thing in different types of restaurant. A 4* pizza place isn't equal to a 4* fine dining place...but it does say that the pizza is about as good as it can be.
  22. Bet they are still busy after this pretty darn bad review.
