  1. Basquecook where is Yunnan garden located?? sounds and looks great!
  2. Here in Connecticut lobsters are $4.99 a pound. They are soft shell now so 2 each should be nice. Farmstand butter and sugar corn, roasted golden beet and nectarine salad.
  3. Woodys in downtown Hartford. Look them up.
  4. We just got back from a 5 night stay at Palazzo and loved it! As far as Carnavino we had 2 apps,,1 arugula salad and 1 house made pastrami and both were good but nothing great. For the entree we had the ribeye for 2. $70 pp. and we both thought it was good but nothing crazy. for $140 for the steak i wanted beefy buttery ribeye and i was a bit disapointed. the sides were very nice though and the service was very nice. Just my opinion but i thought the beef would have been much better.
  5. omg does that look sweet! how large was it? and please tell us more about the courses!

  7. yes you can reheat ganache with no problem. you can on a double boiler or just gently stirring in a low heat sauce pan. it keeps for months anyways.

    Pork cheeks...

    sear and braise low and slow like you say. i have never braised cheeks in milk but i have braised pork butt in milk and it works out great. the milk will seperate a bit but you can blend your remaining liquid with a touch of cream in a blender and strain. let us know how it works out.
  25. go to vegas.com,,,there is a section on bars and lounges. some pretty good ones besides dd in old vegas. let us know what you do.
