Dave, it's just not fair: i was tied up in meetings for the whole morning, and you stole my line :raz:

OK, here it goes anyway. I can confirm what my daughter told me, Dave is such a cute guy!

And i'm so impressed by my Nicholas experience. Everything was great: food, service, decor... and wine: i think i had a dream about it last night.

Rosie my dear you can come into my kicthen anytime!!!!!

Cute huh LOL maybe when i was 30 pounds lighter then i was HOT!!!! I wish :biggrin:

So helena tell us a little about your experience. I cant remember what everyone had to eat as appetizers. Please let the people know. My question did you order the snapper because of me or is that what you really wanted? :biggrin: How was your cheese? How was dessert? Did you like the predessert of sagu(sp) topica and passion fruit? Did you like the amuse of raw fluke? We get that sent back all the time. Not because its not good because i like it alot but i think some people have some crazy fear of eating raw fluke. Please share your experience with me. I like to know how we are doign back in the kicthen.

By the way i can set up a chair at that cheese board and eat almost every single one on there. :biggrin:

but it's true! And as the editor of GQ put it, by and large, a woman doesn't want a man who is thinner than she is...

My question did you order the snapper because of me or is that what you really wanted?  

Both. I usually order fish when we dine out, since as it was discussed previously, it's a pain to find a great fish to prepare at home. And in this case, i was not disappointed: your snapper was outstanding and i liked the nut crust.

How was your cheese? How was dessert? Did you like the predessert of sagu(sp) topica and passion fruit? Did you like the amuse of raw fluke? We get that sent back all the time.

We didn't order cheese, because eveybody wanted dessert. Guava cheesecake was delicious, although it was more a cake, than a cheesecake. and it has only a hint of guava. Kids are still raving about the ice cream.

We polished off all the fluke ( i have no problem with raw whatever) and predessert as well (is sagu the same as tapioca ?)

btw, if it's not a secret, do you bake your bread or you order it from somewhere?

I was never skinny you cant be when you stepped on the scale and it sais 190 and your only 5'4" LOL But i was just alot more built back then. SOmething like your husband(which i commented to your daughter) who was a very big guy built wise. She told me he was quite an athlete.

Its funny you say that about the cheesecake because to my knowledge the only cake part of it is the bottom crust and thats it. You may have thought it was cakeier(sp) because im preety sure its a ricotta cheesecake but i have to check on that for you today.

Sagu is a type of tapioca. I like its size grain. I love that predessert i always take soem when im in the pastry area. And the icecreams are great. I love the mango sorbet my favorite.

The bread i have to say and its no secret is delivered from eli's(sp) of NY. Very good bread but i still wish we made our own. But we dont have the manpower or the right ovens and other equipment to tackle that task. Its really hard to make your own bread. Its a one man job but its an all day job. Maybe one day after the expantion but who knows. If it does happen it wouldn't be for a while.

Wisenheimer Wolf again doing some research:

"Sago

Definition: [sAY-goh] A starch extracted from the sago (and other tropical) palms that is processed into flour, meal and pearl sago, which is similar to tapioca. South Pacific cooks frequently use sago for baking and for thickening soups, puddings and other desserts. In the Orient and in India it's used as a flour and in the United States it's occasionally used as a thickener.

Tapioca

Definition: [tap-ee-OH-kuh] A starchy substance extracted from the root of the cassava plant. It's available in several forms including granules, flakes, pellets (called pearl tapioca) and flour or starch. The most widely available forms are tapioca flour (also called cassava flour) and pearl tapioca. The flour is used as a thickening agent for soups, fruit fillings, glazes, etc., much like cornstarch. Pearl tapioca is used mainly to make pudding and comes in several sizes, regular or instant forms and in a variety of prepackaged flavors. Pearl tapioca is available in most supermarkets, whereas the other forms are more commonly found in health-food stores and Asian markets. If stored in a cool, dark place, all types of tapioca will keep indefinitely.
