I have a sneaking suspicion.

As I read it, the bill came to $96.00, and Lissome left $100.00 in total without saying anything to the waiter or manager. The manager may collect on the entire bill, leaving the waiter a four dollar tip. I've seen that too. Now if the waiter did it intentionally, fuck him, he deserves it. If it was an honest albeit sloppy mistake, the problem should have been pointed out and the waiter tipped appropriately.

Varmint! Like that ricotta idea. Fine.

Except for me, as I've just said, and I've seen it in several restaurant that I've worked in. Well, it's very possible you've just screwed the waiter.

So, is it induced, or infused?

Now I'm afraid.

I've heard Dublin House is one of the few places to have a Guinness. Haven't been there in a while though.

I noticed it by applying for a job and working in the kitchen.... Sorry, no particular story, just disgruntled co-workers.

Really, I'd imagine a hole would aid sinkage.

Welcome Mika. I'm rarely in this forum, but keep at it.

I'm dyin' for a Guinness now. Not tried the coin trick, but certain coins from around the world, are pretty darn light.

I've said elsewhere that what I do in this situation depends on the feeling I'm getting at that moment. IF I feel that my food will come back improved, I will send it back. IF I fell that the waiter/chef or anyone in between will resent my appeal, I will just ask them to remove it, and remove it from the check. IF it's really not too bad, I will tell the manager so improvements can be made in the future, but continue to eat it. And I do believe I am one of the ones who has told about witnessing a spit or wipe plate. Also, there are several reasons people don't bring it up at the table. Making their companions uncomfortable being one. For some people, they're only comfortable at home, at a desk.

Because you have such frighteningly developed ABs. You have obviously never met my belly.

I thought I was scary most of the time.

Tommy, this tipped me off to its being an open discussion. Or did I misread?

I have arranged to volunteer for this event, and I'm trying to find another person or two willing to put in some time to this worthwhile event. If anyone is interested in some information, please contact me via PM or e-mail, and I'll tell you what I know. Two things - not hard, and good cause. Please try to make it. Thank you.

And what's Dundee?

I'd like to remind people that AB and AB are both AB. Can we have some clarification in future posts, please?

Didn't mean to start anything.

You could also use a good grill pan which will have more surface space.

I have most of my starter in the fridge, and some tests in the freezer. Just wanted to know if I should abort trial.I'll take some out eventually and feed it. Can't hurt.

Specks of soot combined with anything else found on the street all over the food, the smell of dog and horse shit and piss and exhaust. Those might be the things I object to.

Glad to hear they worked out well, FM, and Mother's Day was nice also. I think the only reason to add dough before rolling, is to use up the edges, or if you're planning on rolling them loosely. A proper roll will plump them up plenty.

That is very cool jackal. I have a ton of starter too, but it's not that old, and not that cool. Have you frozen yours?

My neighborhood is lousy with outdoor seating. Has been for... 15 years, maybe? Upper west side, that is. I haven't noticed any change here! On second thought, DON'T notice! Or wear dark shades.
