Can you make one as a test run? Personally, I wouldn't mess with a good recipe either. You could cut the butter with shortning, but I wouldn't want to eat it.

Rant all you want to. I do.

What do they taste like?

Swillions. Alanamoana, you going to the show tomorrow? I'm bringing pie.

You're seventh in line.

Are you saying you're in? Just want pie?

Can I just point out that my second to last post makes a tad more sense now. Other than my inability to fix the quote thing.

So tommy, you were saying?

(scrat68 Posted: Nov 9 2003, 05:02 PM) We actually went to a restaurant in Paris this fall where there were toasters at every table. The house specialty was foie gras and they provided broiche for you to toast tableside to your own liking. For our purposes, there could be a buffet / bar of sorts set up with different types of breads and fillings for the sandwiches. We could call it the Sandwich Garden. How about calling it Lawsuit Waiting to Happen?

i vote for 7 or later, so i have at least a fighting chance of making it. don't want to miss 2 in a row! Done. Place still to be determined. 7pm, Tuesday the 25th. Odd question. People are asking me about pies and pao de queijo for Thanksgiving. Anyone interested?

You know, I've been very happy in the past with L'Express on Park South and 20th. It's also a lively, fun place in a fun area for out-of-towners. Blue Smoke is also nearby, but we'd be too tempted to eat the ribs. BTW, as you may know, L'Express is owned by the samer folks who own Steak Frites, French Roast, Nice Matin, and a few others. What is the time for the next meeting? Those places not being on the list makes me think - no. Blue Smoke is a possibility. Affordable? Ribs? Have em for desert.

How about Truque Stoppe?

DAMN! My secret's out.

You know, now that I can see the pictures, the bread doesn't look overdone to me. Nice and toasty.

Now, my burger cooked properly at Jane was more than managable. Are you talking about it falling apart, or the fullness of your tummy? If it was the falling apart issue, it's because your burger was whisper heated. Mine was charred and encased. Yes, the guy was throwing food in the best of humour. Even the lady who picked her fries up off the floor was laughing. Then he joked about throwing her shake. Or was that one of us? bloviatrix, I DO apologize for not mentioning you. I feel awful. Maybe because you showed up into the meal after all my introductions had been made several times? Oops. You can be our next honorary guest. But you still have to find a Kosher place. Yes folks, I'm going to eat a plain old hamburger. Get that! Landmark is my pick! That's been my favorite consistent burger in the city for a while. They do NOT serve them at night, so beware. It may even be one of my four faves ever. What's IIRC? Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving is the next meeting. Tarka will be here +2? Now, we need to pick a special place so her one Original BC meeting isn't a bust. Now that can't be Landmark because they don't do burgers at night.... Any serious suggestions? Let me call them, actually, and find out how late they serve burgers. If I can get the pies out to Bloomfield before the grill turns over, that may be a good idea.

Fine by me. I've been called worse on many occasions.

I will also say right now, that the candy is in every way my fault. I coaxed Suzanne into asking the guy at the latin food show to give her a pack, if I didn't actuallly ask him myself. She told me that HWOE thought they were horrible, and asked her to bring them to the last meeting. She forgot. I reminded her several times this time (how bad could they be?) and she came through. For THIS I am an idiot. Sue me.

It's funny. He was talking about all our inventive screen names . Maybe he should be Lurker.... Lurker? You there?

I didn't think there were any tomatoes in it at all. Just red.

From here on in, anyone calling the burger place at ther Parker Meridian will be called an idiot by me personally. And trust me, I really cleaned up my language for that one, cause I like you all. KirkL found out the name of the place last night. The name of the place is no longer debatable. It is called The Last Place, was it? Kirk, we need a report. I will also accept the Parker Meridian. Not Burger Joint. Don't be an idiot.

See, now I'm not convinced it was better than Jane's. At both places my burger was over cooked, and at both places, I sent it back. Second one in both places were relatively perfect (rare). I still believe that if people actually got their burgers the way they asked for them at Jane, they'd have had a far better burger experience. In my opinion, that's the patron's fault. By the time I got my second burger, my fries were cold. The place was crowded, so I stayed by the order window lest the burger be chucked at my head from across the room. (No kidding, they were doing that. Fries too. They landed on the floor). Anyway, I had taken a bite of the burger, seen that it was pretty greyish, tore it in half (no silverware here) and walked back to the window. The guy took half the burger I showed him and at it! But then again, when someone ordered a shake, he'd pour a beer. If the person really wanted a shake, he'd drink the beer himself. The guy was a riot. My second burger came with a big piece of beef char from the grill. JosephB wanted half, but I wouldn't give it to him. It was good stuff. Two new members were a great addition. Felonius most impressed me when he got up to leave for dinner with someone. Excellent man. slkinsey and bergerka... feh. And lurker who-will-remain-nameless-until-he-decides-to-name-himself impressed me by having spoken to no one, showed up and found us. Excellent. We who remained went outside to see the eclipse. It was cool. Great night all around. Well, I'll have my fries and remaining half burger tonight for dinner. Age will improve them. Oh yeah, Suzanne's 'pica' candy was just that not fit for human consumption. We all spit it out. Except for.... Foul beyond words.

Crisco pie crust.

I'll try. Be back in a few.

I can't get the pictures.
