Are there any differences in the soul food served in northern US cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles? I know that a high percentage of African-Americans in Chicago have families who migrated from Mississippi and Tennessee because of the Illinois Central railroad.

Sources tell me that they will be filming new episodes soon. We may even get to see an a egullet member on the show?

Is this a hint for Tuesday? I have a new blend: 2/3 Columbian and 1/3 Guatemala Antigua

My sister ate the last of the VD stew last night while we aere at the White Sox game. She must have liked it because it was gone, and there was a lot left. Have you considered adding some goat Dave? Maggie, what ever happened to those squirrels in your attic?

I actually started the fermented pickles today. I used the recipe from the Joy of Pickling. Is there anything special I should look out for? Supposedly they will be done in about 10 days.

3 cocktails and 8 glasses of wine for me. I was going to pick "B", but I want to listen to lots of MatthewB tunes, so I chose A

Go fuck yourself lawnmower boy I vote for A. Edited to add: Tell me that you love me I never knew that Stevie write that song.

I haven't done a butt in awhile. I'll try to do a bunch in the next couple of weeks and distribute them to the pork deprived. I wonder if Col. Klink has got his smoker in MN yet?

If we go out on Friday I would prefer to spend less than 25-30 pp including beverages. We really need to know when eveyone is coming, though. I'll probably get into town w/ family at 5 or so. Since some people are coming on Saturday, we could meet them in Saugatuck on Saturday noon or so? There's lots to do there, including a Dune Ride . Maybe a light picnic on the beach afterwords?

why?

Great article about this in the Chicago Reader this week. It's much dirtier and nastier than previously reported. http://www.chicagoreader.com/hottype/index.html

I've always used the 2/2/2, which is the same as yours, or at least close. 2 Tbs. Butter 2 Tbs. flour 2 cups liquid It's better to have the sauce a little too thick, because it's easier to add a little more liquid to thin it if you need to. Good job Jackal.

I've always wanted to stay at the bullring/hotel in Zacatecas. Quinta Real Zacatecas I'm very jealous, you're going to have a blast. Be glad you have a guide in Guanjuato, it's the most confusing city I've ever been to.

Did Vengroff get any special birthday treatment?

Stay away from intimate situations.

Ethiopians eat their brisket raw. It's called kitfo.

From the link above:

If your ever grilling throw a whole onion on the coals. Cook it for 30 minutes, turning it after 15. Peel and eat. Yum.

I signed up for Marche because I wanted to see the waiter who wore a thong . In real life I picked Opera. I've been wanting to go since January, especially to have that hell-fire hot dish.

Thanks Willie, I just signed up. Is that the most hideous website ever?

If you do this with red onions they turn the nicest pink color.

Not true. Look it up in "On Food and Cooking." I thought that as well at one time, but it turns out to be incorrect (unless I am remembering incorrectly -- will check when I get home).

Ovens cook primarily by radiation, not convection.

Mayo on pizza!?! Wow, that is gross. By the way, what is a MIL? Lyrics by Ernie K-Doe, 1961 #1 Billboard R&B Chart:

I really like the rabbit, even more than the dark meat chicken. I definately think you should add as much as you can afford. I also took the corn cobs (after the kernels were removed) and simmered them along with the meat. I don't know how much it added, but I always do this when I'm making corn soup. I also used about 2 cups of corn (I had 3 ears and wanted to use it up). If I were making this again I'd double the amount of lima beans too, especially since I have an assistant to clean them .
