Russ & Daughters Breakfast Smoked Sable Smoked Gaspe Salmon Whitefish Salad Mini Bagel Cream Cheese Tomato (last of the farmer's market)

My feeling is that if something is sold on an infomercial, it doesn't belong in my kitchen.

I just got the GT Cookbook. While I don't generally cook from cookbooks, the recipes in this look quite doable at home. Great pictures, too.

Never done what? Use Google? Use a knife? Carve Toots?

Much sadness here. But happy to have been able to read his wonderful writings. My sincere condolences, Linda; to you and your family and friends. And Dave - Adieu and rest in peace.

For your first session, are you going to have a designated driver to take everyone home?

I thought about the Tuscan grill for our apartment in DC, which has a small wood-burning fireplace. Then I decided that it would make such a bloody mess that it would be aggravating.

I used to make up a plate of hors d'oeuvres and snacks for the couple and bring it specifically to them to snack on before they would come out to be introduced at the start of the reception. There's usually a room where they have to chill out before the reception starts.

Solo man dinner... Manhattan + New Yorker + Pasta (w/roasted cauliflower, roasted peppers, parmesan)

Yeah, and I'd be really careful spritzing the inside of any toaster oven because of the worry about breaking the glass.

I'm pretty sure the ethrogs in the picture I posted are from Israel. They're part of the ceremony of Sukkot.

These are etrogs... Could be.

I use inexpensive Ecko Baker's Secret pans.

Hasn't the whole boiling the water to make ice thing been disproved? Here's a good article on making clear ice. I think Chris A. also has experimented successfully with the cooler method.

Yeah, I agree with the above 2 posts. I can make some pretty damn good scrambled eggs in a frying pan with butter, cream if so desired, etc. And they'll come out practically the same every time.

Have they solved the beeping/buzzer problem on the smallest of the Brevilles?

Fried rice, duck breast, beet greens.

What? Where the heck do you live and what restaurants are that bad?

Over in the Dinner topic, I posted about quail I made the other night, which were broiled and then left in the oven to finish cooking via roasting. I called them broasted quail. Little did I know that there evidently is Broaster Company, and "broasted foods" and "broaster" are trademark terms. Did you know this: Yikes. Has anyone ever eaten something that was actually from the Broaster Company?

Broasted is a trademark infringement unless you made it in a genuine Broaster. Looks great though illegal. Wow - I never knew that about the Broaster. Since I don't have access to a grill, the quail were marinated (olive oil, garlic, S&P, herbs) and then were simply broiled in my oven. I left them in the oven for a few minutes after they had browned under the broiler, so decided to call them broasted!

Broasted quail. Pan fried corn-off-the-cob. Roasted acorn squash and peppers. Corn cakes. Jus.

According to the new Cook's Illustrated, after extensive testing the new Kitchen Aid Pro-Line Series 7-qt is the best of the bunch. Comes in at $550.

That's your theory...no problem with it.

I don't see any irresponsibility - he's asking what you're gonna do...after presenting some facts.

I'll rephrase it: Should everyone stop eating Foster Farms' chickens?
