  1. this showed up in college , next to a toaster where you might toast ordinary american sliced bread. Seasonally . no explanation . and the food was quite decent in those days , and you could go back for seconds etc I tried it as vehicle for about 1/2 " of butter or more , evenly distributed over a piece it worked well enough for that . as @haresfur has suggessted , similar a Carr cracker . but there was no other cracker option for the butter. you could eat the butter ( those single pat thing-is ) neat of course. the box stayed there for days and days , hardly touched . this suggests it was was never removed to any dorm room for a 10 PM ' pick me up ' Q.E.D. as @weinoo has suggested : Vogue ? really ? you can document that ?
  2. @weinoo ''' it's probably cheaper! '' confirming my suspicion I don't get out much ( by personal choice ) P.S.: its my understanding Anonymous did read the book and was impressed.

    @Paul Bacino nice. pleased to see the nutmeg in the filling I always try to remember the small amount of freshly grated nutmeg in items ' white : mashed potatoes , bechamel , etc. just enough to notice something extra is there
  4. @Shelby I know some one ( Anonymous ) that did the same.

    @Paul Bacino absolutely stunning shells ? Meat Sauce ? or Classic tomato ? love both versions. Ill be keeping that pic. for review purposes.
  6. @weinoo thinking about the price of the Zuni Chicken ( for two ) w an hour wait : wonder if there is a ' table fee ' involved the ZC chicken is famous . if a significant % of diners ordered it turnover , thus ' Bill Flow ' would suffer . then again , few might be able to wait an hour wondering aromas , etc . ( F.D.: slow day . waiting for Thurdays blizzard )
  7. @BonVivant you take the most interesting trips. thank you for sharing them with us. do you know what the caption means on the picture with the three flower ? do restaurants have ' life like ' models of the food being served or is that only in areas frequented by foreigners ? is that no longer done ?
  8. @weinoo thank you for the menus
  9. @weinoo I agree . Eileen's books are top notch.

    @Shelby ''' leftover fried shrimp ''' Oxymoron good luck ! been there. make sure you hear bout the Taboo Straw .
  21. @weinoo fine trip. pleased you went to Tadich Grill. my favorite.
  22. Credit Card companies have spent huge amounts of money ( a very very small % of their surcharge ) banning cash discounts , and much more banning CC surcharges through paying for legislation protecting their golden eggs.
  23. @MaryIsobel I agree w you. mandatory tips are no longer tips. MT's are a way to slice up the actual cost to the dinner of the meal. into smaller units. why not add an ' energy surcharge ?' airlines do. business' are for profit. and the owner or partners want a return on heir investment. ' All staff are partners in this restaurant ' ?
  24. This is my current Anova: I received it about a week ago, as it was on back order for about a month. its version 3.0 it was apparently on sale @ Anova for $ 149 , and at similar time was $ 188. at Amazon there is a more expensive Anova , for about $ 250 or so I believe. i got this one as my workhorse , which Ive had for quite a while got the heebee-jeebees as the water lever dropped too low and I did not notice , and it shut off. I couldn't figure out how to revive it ,and reset it , so bought this one. its not easy to see , but the cord entering the unit is fixed. the older one functioned , but the actual temp of the water , and the temp recorded on the screen were wildly different.
