Was, thanks!

Last night: Sliced rib steak. Broccolini, Hollandaise Piment d'Espelette. Popovers.

I miss the lovely rosemary smell and the pretty little flowers. What herbs, I wonder, would do best in pots inside in winter. I have a south facing glass door.

Last spring I dropped and broke Rosemary's pot on the dining room floor while I was carrying her outside. I still have salt preserved sage from last year so I didn't try to bring my sage bush in. I confess to looking at an oregano plant at the store earlier this week.

Dribble glasses are popular in some circles.

With the tablecloth set on fire to provide illumination. Actually I once experienced a tablecloth set on fire in a restaurant. The late Serrano in Philadelphia. Though I don't think that is quite why the restaurant closed. I wanted to yell "Fire!" but I had aphasia and could only wave my arms and point. Memorable meal.

And I note the Falk 16cm Signature Line Mousseline (the one with the tacky if overly practical stainless steel handle) is less than half price. A good deal in my book. But I've ne'er assayed a sauce Mousseline in my existence and I can't get past the ugly, ugly handle. In contrast I am weeping for the Classic wrought iron handled 16cm Mousseline at 30% off and may yet cave.

How is someone like me going to read this small menu?

Never having been to Japan I am surprised how much signage is in English.

I seldom dine in restaurants (fine or otherwise) but seriously I can't remember ever being served wine in a glass without a stem.

Celery.

I suppose one could imbibe one's MR right from the pressure vessel if it hadn't been in the freezer long and if one's lips didn't mind the threads...but I am of the school a wine glass should have a proper stem.

I have been remiss in changing the filters. Now after more than 4 months the double filtered water is 34 mg/L. At the start of the experiment the double filtered water was 2 mg/L.

Falk USA has 30 percent off through 11/24.

Naw, she worked our adult reference desk for I recall seventeen years. She does not take her holds lightly. But she is my neighbor so maybe I could steal it from her house. Unfortunately we tend to read the same books.

I say shoot the messenger.

Can-can looks like a knock off of the Hamilton Beach 932.

Most recently I have been favoring Oomda. Non-homogenized Halal whole milk yogurt. Good stuff. Once you get past the "CONTAINS MILK" warning.

Menu on a box?

Tonight I confessed my addiction to my boss. "May I remind you where you work?" gently she chastised.

Here I cook and dine alone. You can always share your success and failure on eGullet, and find good company.

I never even thought to try! Next time for sure.

Had I seen this first it would have saved me writing down the information...

I've been waiting and waiting to get a copy. A friend has Simple sitting on our hold shelf. I hate her.

Soaked it over night in the sink and it cleaned right up. I probably should have used parchment though.
