    Film Noir

    in Cooking

    Posted

    throwing this out to the ever-clever eG crowd..a friend has been invited to a "film noir" dinner, and would like menu suggestions. (apparently a potluck, so open to any and all courses.) i feel empty and stupid...perhaps we opened the wine too early this evening!

    Best San Francisco Tapas Places

    ate our way through the tapas menu at fonda last week. (is that berkeley or albany? i'm not from around here...) delicious and beautiful, and the plates just kept coming. i loved the "vuelve de la vida"---loved saying it, over and over. (means "a return to life", supposedly a hangover remedy.) crab, maybe cod, and scallops, in a spicy, lime-y brothiness, topped with avocado cubes. mmmm. our other stand out fav were the duck tostaditas wtih pomegranate seds...the pop of the seeds was just lovely with the rich duck meat. mmmmm. i think i would be there every night if i lived in the vicinity.

    Story of Varmint's Kitchen Renovation

    Posted · Edited by chezcherie (log)

    i am following the thread with great interest, and appreciate the back-and-forth, and various cooking styles in play,, as well as all the free advice.

    i apologize in advance for the possible influence of the (well earned) bottle of zin i played my part in consuming tonight--tho i have devoured the entire thread, i cannot at this point recall with certainly whether a 36" range (all gas) fits the bill. i DO recall that self-cleaning is an issue...is this

    thermador gas 36 self cleaning range a possibility?

    i wanna come to the new-and-improved mr and dr varmint (and lils') new kitchen inaugural pig pickin'! (but i wanted to come to the "mr and dr varmint our-kitchen-may-suck-but-we're-still-invintin'-y'all-and-it-will-prove-legendary" first annual pig pickin'!)

    what fun!

    edited to say--remember that bottle of zin i mentioned? the clickety thing is for the 30", but there is a 36" one too..click the advance button near the bottom (for the 36" version...i need to sleep now--g'night!)

    Pronouced chip--oht-lay, not chip-oat-lay. (Although the recent Jack-in-the-Box commercials did make me smile, with the witless bubblehead struggling to pronounce "chip-o-top-lay, chip-tiple", until the chica at the famers market told him to "just go...")

    at least some parts of France the "prize" was a sacred icon or a baby Jesus. A small Micky Mouse being the least sacred image I've seen

    I was googling around in search of a macaron feve, and found a site that features (amongst humdreds of others--alas, no Laduree macarons) Kama Sutra feves--a whole set!

    Laissez les bon temps roulez!
