Tarpon Springs Ybor City The Beaches-for seafood

I am making some as I type- It is delicious when prepared properly- Jmahl- I lived on Grant avenue not far from Clay-and went to PS 88, 90, Jr.22 and Taft- I also graduated from Hunter College in the Bronx and graduate school of Health scirnces in Manhattan- It is a Polish jJewish delicacy. UR invited to have some in my home-I live in Hallandale Beach Florida

I am making my second brewing of this wonderful tea from www.shanshuiteas.com The tea is pricy but well worth the cost- Special Acquisition Spring 2010 Fushoushan Wulong thumbnail Special Acquisition Spring 2010 Fushoushan Wulong Fushou mountain is located between Lishan and Dayuling, and has a maximum elevation approaching 2500 meters. The tea farms here are government-owned, but in recent years the employees have been moved from a salary to commission system, where they profit directly from the sale of the tea. This is my best Wulong of the season, with a thick, nectar-like mouth feel and the creamy elements of a classic "high mountain" tea. The flavor is not heavy, however, and the finish is smooth with a unique sweetness. Very limited availability.

If the gefilte fish jelly was from homemade fish, I would recommend trying to do something with it.

I have been reading this great cookbook- "Thai Food" by David Thompson Thai food is very diverse-the foods vary from north,south,, etc. yes, duck is authentic thai food

I use the legacy tea thermometer. This one I have used very often. I also use the visual eyeball method of bubbles

Yes, I agree- but Brian has excellent selections once u know what u enjoy- The tea he has is fresh and he is very inteligent and personable- I visited him in Washington, DC- 2 years ago

I enjoyed reading this article- Brian has a great selection of teas- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/11/AR2008111100573.html

I would like to try local foods- food trucks sometimes offer great food options

I would like to begin Vietnamese cooking- I would like titles of good cookbooks, etc.

Today, I ordered the book from Books & Books. He will be speaking on June 30th

Enjoyed the read

Aphrodesia on Bleeker Street \\ It is sad that they closed= I have been purchasing my spices from savoury spices in Colorado- great spices, selection and service joanne

My son was visiting from New Jersey- We ordered and picked up 3 lbs. of medium stone crabs- They were delicious- The cost was $50 much less than Joe's Stone Crabs joanne

I just received Premium Winter 2009 Baozhong (75 g) from www.shanshuiteas.com- I immediately prepared a cup of the tea for my glass gaiwan. The tea's aroma is fragrant and the liquid has a pale color. Definitely worth the cost- Joanne
