What more could one ask for. :smile:

Steak.

I send a nice Curry Steak your way Jin! :biggrin:

No thanks, Suvir.

However I would love to have your fried okra and many other dishes.

But the infamous curry "steak" shall ne'er be on my plate.

steve:  i've tried bad stage make-up to convince those restaurant-operating folks that i am indeed older than i am, but it usually just ends up with me being cast as an extra in "les miserables."  if only i could get a 401k right now. . .

You seem to be doing fine.

Maybe your being treated differently is the very reason you are a whiff of fresh air....

It would be far less magical if you had the same experiences as everyone else... What would we do?

Enjoy being treated as you are now.. for very soon.. you shall be treated differently.. and then, who knows.. you may miss this... and again, you may not..

But let that all be a surprise.

But keep posting.. You wrote beautifully here... And I thank you for being generous with your sharing of your experiences. I am sure many others think the same.. and wish you well. :smile:

Uh oh, except for one person. I heard through the grapevine that Charlie Trotter is personally searching for Mr Regime to settle things man to man. Could get ugly.... :smile:

Alll kidding aside - I'll treat you to Trotters when you're in town next and we'll have our debate live during dinner, hows that? :smile:

And will you fly me from NYC to be the impartial judge?

How is that for being generous? I shall make sure I do not take any catering assignment that night.:wink:

awbrig: you see, i'm a poor, starving college student, and i'm just as liable to take you up on your offer because, remember, i'm just as capricious as the next guy or girl, i.e., if you have reservations this weekend, i'd be in chicago this weekend with a lobster bib around my neck, ready to eat. but what if, during the eleventh hour of our meal, i repent and become a sudden convert to the trotter religion? would all be forgiven? would i ascend to his and your gustatory heaven?

I dont know how to fly and am not properly licensed...

I was not implying you charter a lear jet and be the pilot.

I would be happy seeing you save money and fly my plain ole business class on United. Will save you muco money... and we can use that to go eat desserts after CT in several other restaurants...

Let me know when you are sending the ticket.. and let Ballast know as well..

We will show up.. all ready to get converted... to the CT sect of religion. :smile:

mid-january it is; i'm there. i'll even bring cute, kansas-themed gifts for all of you (yes, you too, suvir), like the "evolution is wrong" mudflaps that are so common here, or "the wizard of ozzie" spinoff mugs that MTV has licensed for "the osbournes."
