Did you ask the manager why she didn't inform you of the price hike? I would of been pissed to say the least. She wasn't there.

I did forget to mention, that for me, the best part of Burger Club tonight, as always, was the company. Thank you tarka, especially, for coming. I'm glad I got to sit across from you. Mr Cutlets, Pan, and Lurker's friends who-shall-remain-nameless-until-they-choose-names, thanks for joining us. I hope you come again. Just wait until I have my great burger. It'll be FAR more important than any and all of you. I can't wait!

Okay Jin, shield your eyes. Whe you take a set of measuring spoons out of the drawer, slam it shut while noticing two sets have tangled together, don't try to replace one set before the drawer shuts. But try to make sure you have latex gloves if you do. Which I did.

Good for me.

I'm waiting for felonius to come back.

Oh alright. Since everyone wants me to unburden myself.... *sigh* Landmark was one of my four best burgers ever. Tonight, it was similar to Molly's, (who I gave too high a score, not being used to the chart. This will be amended) which was just so average. Bits were better than others where there were spots of char, but the meat quality was no longer there, and that's where they used to shine. It had been so fresh, so tasty, so well cooked. Tonight, it was blase as all get out, moderately okayly cooked, and just a handfull of nothingness. I am so depressed. And to add insult to injury, the manager didn't let me know that the burger increased a wopping $5.00, from $8 to $13 when I spoke to her originally. Why should she have? Because I had asked her if she would serve burgers at night, since I recalled them only being available during the day. She said they were available only during the day, but for our group, she would make an exception. At that point, she should have told me about the increase. In my book this is bad business, and totally unacceptable. Especially for the mediocrity I put in my mouth. Phooey. Aaaaaand, before anyone says anything like - they obviously aren't used to making burgers at night, they made an effort for you - I'll say again, you can tell poorly cooked excellent meat form poorly cooked crappy meat.

Good Christ, am I disapointed. I can't even talk about it.

AND, if you can't make it, please PM me or someone if my folder is full, or call the restaurant. Number above. Thanks!

All systems go?

I was wondering what would hapen if you wanted an egg over easy.

We recently had a discussion on favorite soups. I'll try to find it.

NOT buying Pyrex is a really stupid kitchen mistake.

Phew!

I think it's called a Jinmyo.

I'm with you, and I hate arguing about it. You guys are crazy. A garlic press is worse than useless without a dishwasher. Or with a dishwasher that is sitting in its box in the closet. Besides, it's so easy to mince with the back of a french knife, ala Joanne Weir, and I almost always have other aromatics to mince, chop or whatever. Crushes nicely in a mortar, too. Squeat PS Yes, I have a press. And it qualifies in my book. Edited to include enough words. I've done both a lot, and I like the press better for fine garlic.

I'm with you, and I hate arguing about it.

Were you replying to me or Jamie? I think Jamie was refering to a plan of his for next week. I went to Daisy May's last month. Wrote about it somewhere but can't find it. Oh yeah - it's in what did you have for lunch thread. Anyway, I had just had lunch at Delta Grill on 46th and 9th. Walked to Daisy May, got pulled pork sandwich and KC ribs and beans. Took 2 days just to eat the ribs. Sandwich would have been better had I ate it sooner. {still have trouble with color not in crayon form} To Jamie. He said after the first BC meeting that he was going to Daisy May's with work in a couple if days. I think. Good pulled pork though? forkAndPen, of COURSE it's not too late. slkinsey, you suck. Suzanne, no ferrets. jeunefilleparis, promises, promises. To anyone who's confused about my PM to Rachel/to you, I didn't realize that she was still out of town, so it arrived after some of you respoinded. Sorry for the inconvenience. Also, anyone who didn't get the PM, I either wrote in the wrong name, or you'd very recently posted, OR I just spaced. My apologies if I did.

I just answered my own question.

I have question on sweet potatoes. I just bought some to make sweet potato pies, but they're really big. Is the flavor more intense the smaller they are? These are about the size of a pint and a half, if that makes any sense.

Flash! Mice aren't human. Do you avoid unchlorinated water due to ethical concerns over killing billions of bacteria? Considering I can't see bacteria, I can't magine their reaction to being killed. Mice I can see, and have seen dying.

So, did you go?

Have you been to Daisy Mays? picaman was going to tell us about it ages ago.

I asked if there was sugar on the nuts.
