At a family pig roast my wife's cousin threw away all the skin! (I picked a bunch out of the trash). Also, after about six hours he checked the internal tempurature of the meat. I t was 190. I said take it off now. He decided to cook it for 2 more hours, to "make sure". The pork was mush .

MY friends from Guanajuato (state, not city) make their posole with pork neck bones.

Tuna Ceviche From the Tuna Tartare thread. 1 lb tuna Dressing: 2 limes, juiced 1 T lime zest, julienned 1/4 c olive oil 2 T minced onion 2 T minced jalepeno 1/4 c minced tomato 1 T minced cilantro or parsley (or both) Chop up the tuna and add the dressing 1/2 to 3 hours before serving. The longer the fish is dressed, the more "cooked" it will be. Keywords: Fish, Latin American, Seafood, Appetizer ( RG360 )

My brother-in-law has dined with Tom Robbins. I believe the dinner was mostly of the liquid variety. I would like dine with Jerry Butler. He went to cooking school before his singing (and political) career. He was the most popular of the perfromers on the Chitlin Circuit because he would cook for everyone in between shows.

I've made ceviche with tuna, very yummy. Chop up the tuna and add the dressing 1/2 to 3 hours before serving (the longer the fish is dressed, the more "cooked" it will be. My dressing recipe is: juice of 2 limes 1 Tbs. lime zest, julienned 1/4 cup olive oil 2 Tbs minced onion 2 Tbs minced jalepeno 1/4 cup minced tomatoe 1 Tbs minced cilantro or parsley (or both)

I haven't had this particular Moscato but I love them in general. I liked how Katie snuck in the word "frizzante" like a true wine geek. I have had parties where I serve half a bottle of Moscato d'Asti for an apertif, then used the rest of the bottle for a dessert wine.

No Cat this week I have to say the food those guys prepared looked pretty tasty.

Tax here is 9% - that seems pretty fair.

My main problem with the mK service was the wine service. We ordered a split of champagne at the bar and when we went to our table they never brought the split (still half full) to us until after I had asked 3 times. After ordering appetizers and wine they brought the appetizers out after five minutes and brought the wine 15 minutes later. This was 2 years ago, maybe things have improved.

Will you make up your damn mind Blackbird Website mk is good, but I (and many others so I don't think this is a one time deal ) had TERRIBLE service there so I can't recommend it. Blackbird is supposed to be great (never been) but loud and cramped. I second Aurora's recommendation of Nomi. It's in a hotel, but not at all a hotel restaurant. Great view. Edit: 9 might be to late for CT. I'd figure at least 3 hours (probably closer to 4) eating there.

Thank you everyone, I was going to go last night but my sister wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to go alone. Hopefully next week I can make it. By the way, have you ever driven down that part of Broadway on a sunny weekend? Between the huge lines for the car wash in the right hand lane, and the people trying to turn left into that great grocery store (name?) it can sometimes take 30 minutes to go 4 blocks.

I hope you're not staying at the Omni, it's not very nice. I recommend the Hilton. You can walk to Trio from any of the hotels in Evanston, it would be about $20 cab ride to downtown. You could also take the El.

Did anyone see this last night? The woman was a vegetarian and she didn't tell the two guys. They made her scallops and halibut and she wouldn't touch either of them. In fact, I don't think she ate more than 4 bites of both meals. Bizzare, why have someone on a food show who doesn't like food ?

Do you prefer your quesadillas with flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or made with masa? My favorite are the masa ones, though I've never seen these in the US. They're like empanadas, a little half moon stuffed with cheese and other ingredients and then fried in a comal. Has anyone ever made this type? I have a masa aversion because of its stickiness. Any tips? My favorite stuffings are mushrooms (especially huitlicoche), rajas, browned onions, and flor de calabaza.

I'm not sure about this but I just read that barley and wheat don't grow in Nigeria. It's probably government protectionism which outlawed barley.

I made these 3 months ago when you posted this Maggie. I don't have madeleine pans so I put them in a muffin pan. They were fantastic. I'll think I'll make them for Easter.

Another good recipe is Japanese style curry rice with potatoes, carrots and onions topped with a hamburger patty and hard boiled eggs.

from Here Edit: Here's a better article

I read somewhere that the Guiness in Nigeria was made from sorghum because barley is outlawed.

Deviled Eggs Empanadas Make a pie crust dough (about 1/4 inch thick) and cut into circles (about 3 inch diameter) Mix together some leftover roast beef (or chicken or pork), chopped eggs, minced olives, boiled potato cubes, sauteed onion and garlic, herbs. Put a spoonful of stuffing onto dough circles and fold the dough to make a half moon. You can bake these or deep-fry them.

I'm in the mood for some cheap SE Asian food tonight. Any recommendations? BYO would be nice. Thanks to all

DAMN! That's one big baby! My son was 9.5 and I thought he was huge.

Anna, What kind of blender are you using and what kind have you borrowed. A couple of months ago we had a thread about how much the KithchenAid blender sucked.

Sounds like a great trip Marty, too bad you didn't get to Tlamanalli in Teotitlan del Valle. Did you go to the big weekend market out by the railroad station? Did they ever build a McDonalds in the Zocalo? There was a big contraversy last year. For those of you travelling to Oaxaca here's a warning. There are several hotels right around the zocalo. At seven or eight o'clock every morning the army, accompanied by a band, marches into the zocalo to raise the Mexican flag. This can be a rude awakening if you've had too much mezcal the night before. Edit: I would definately try to bring back peppers. Many of the stalls in the market have 30+ different varieties of dried peppers where as I can only find about 10 different kinds here.

I used to work for Pearson (owner of the FT) doing web work. Look at their stock price since Dame Marjorie started buying interent companies in the summer of 2000. PSO stock price I see their relaunching FT.com 4/26. Yeah, that will work.
