I will say that Brooklyn does NOT make my favorite weissbier.

So there's no fibreglass in them?

It's funny. In my recent baking class, we had to do some measuring. Something like 15 lbs of flour, and sift. I asked if we should sift the flour before or after measuring. I stopped asking as I got to the end of the sentance. Der.

I do that ALL the time. Only if it really IS unzipped. I also tell women when their skirt is tucked into their pantyhose or have lipstick on their teeth, or when anyone has something on their face or in their hair. Shirts buttoned unevenly too. Everyone has been very thankful to date.

350 seems high to me too. I always check my baking stuff half way through.

I was going to bring this up, but didn't have the energy to get into a thing about it.

Several times. I am a very slow eater, and ... well, I was going to make some excuse for these unobservant people, but there is no excuse.

I am just about to eat a baked potato.

Elyse, I hope you're feeling much better today! I have incredibly low blood pressure. I guess that's why I crave things like brine. Today, I was a bit shaky (I'm SUCH a lightweight!), but by 3 or so, I was feeling tops. By 8, I was racing downtown to deliver the crab chips to Andy. Actually, 8:15. I made amazing time.

Yay, Nero! That's excellent!

ANDY! I finally found the Crab Chips, and would really like to deliver them. Make it happen!

Well I was having dizzy spells so it would have been fine. And that was BEFORE I got knocked in the head by the door. You were missed.

I would have taken the pissaladieres if I knew they were going to be chucked! And you made a fabulous tappenade! Yum. And yes, Suzanne's hummus was lovely.

Where did I read that it's proper etiquette when a guest drinks his fingerbowl, the host must drink his also?

Oops! I didn't follow the form.

Is that the oldest book on the subject?

Who's going to dinner tomorrow? Andy, you're going to the museum alone? If you're still online, whattime are you getting out and heading over to dinner? I'm in the neighborhood.

I just googled this. Earlier I read that Portland OR consumed the most ice cream, then it was Boston MA, so who knows.

Hey Andy, when are you leaving tomorrow? Can you get to the Fancy Food Show for a bit? It starts at 10 and goes till 5. So I hear, there's an extra ticket floating around.

That is inexcusable.

Yes. We should have offered him a summer wardrobe. BUT! Didn't he go well with the sofa? How rude am I? Thank you lissome for your hospitality. Wonderful food. And it was so nice meeting all who were there. Everyone who wasn't there...what happened???

I've had waiters try to take my plate while I had fork in hand, and food on the tines.

Yes, a great time was had by all. Fuck, I didn't eat a peep! What the hell? I can't write anymore tonight. Sleepy.

I thought it was something near Wall Street.

That would be Alaska.
