from experience, i'd say this happens about 50 - 75% of the time. if an extra is made of something by accident then it makes more sense to give that single item to a single person rather than to a party of people. and, mistakes/misfires happen all the time.

not sure if my jewish dad counts (he'll be 65 in april) but he LOVES to cook & is great in the kitchen. his love for cooking came after he & my mom divorced and he married his 2nd wife (aka the "Y" <why!!> wife), who was a chef. now he & his "z" wife get to enjoy his love of cooking nightly (as do i when i make it back east). AND he makes a mean "Bouchon" roasted chicken AND has given TK some tips for improvement

i suggest anyone who has a baby who doesn't sleep or nap read this book: The Baby Whisperer and reclaim your life. it worked for me and i started my bebe off at 9 months. then you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want.

i just got the cuisinart GRIDDLER and i am planning to have a panini party in a couple weeks. what are your favorite combos to press on the grill?

In 2007, I will eat more home cooked meals I will make something other than meatloaf & lasagna I will findmore local foods to cook & eat I will learn how to tend to my garden This is the year I will try at least 10 new recipes I will taste consistantly delicious food!! I will useevery bit of produce from my garden I will give away to my friends what i can't I will be more organized in the kitchen We will eat more meals together My child will continue to be an adventuous eater (fingers crossed!!) I will teach my daughter how to make fun things in the kitchen from scratch and how to tend to our garden I will read all the books i didn't get to last year & maybe even some new ones! ←

thanks for your reply... we already ship all over the country, so i'm not sure that'll hinder us.

I work at a small winery and we are toying with the idea of setting up a wine club. initially, there would only be 1 shipment mailing and one allocation mailing. meaning, in the spring we'd send everyone a 3 btl selection of our spring releases and then they would have the opportunity to buy more at a "club" price". in the fall we'd send the members a notice of what their allocation is for our fall release and give them 30 days to take their allocation. let me know what you think... the cost of the spring release would be about $120 and the fall allocation would run about $500 or so. any and all thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated!!

sea ranch is BEAUTIFUL!! but make sure you bring LOTS of WARM clothes - it'll be COLD!!

thanks for all the suggestions! today we went to J, hop kiln, moshin & davis bynum... lots of fun at all, but nothing revolutionry. tomorrow who knows...

i have this framed along with many other fernet prints:

cool! thanks!!

i was just by ladera on tuesday and bought a couple btls of the 03 napa... very tasty & a great price! what a beautiful place!

i will be staying in Guernville this weekend with a group (8 total) and would love to visit a special winery or 3 on sunday. we're all in the wine / restaurant industry, so we know how to behave & buy vino

how many are in your group?

Is it still a sloppy joe if I just toss the sauce onto bread and melt some mozzarella over it? ← open-faced... but yes.

sloppy joes?

I was out voted. Besides, salt house is fairly new - I'm glad I went, but I wouldn't recommend it. I had some pocky with my espresso, I'm back to being a happy camper. ← i do hope you will post that glowing review in the CA forum sorry to hear it sucked so bad... but not at least i don't have to think i might need to check it out... dvs (hasn't been to town hall either)

the reviews are in... sf gate: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...1.DTL&type=food as of last night (fried chicken!!) they still hadn't changed the wine service which most certainly cost them 3.5 stars... SR press democrat: http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/apps/pbcs.dl...THEMES=FOODWINE
