Your capacity for euphemistic kinkiness ... um, very nice. -
You have to go for the real stuff, or you will never live it down. On a related subject, are the wee drams consumed before the kaber toss, or after? Will you admit you are trying to buy odd ingredients from a DR member in Gainesville, Va. ( which is close to, but not the same as eastbuttfuk)? Kilt wearers will be sans bloomers? Can i nominate someone for the kaber toss, after he has consumed many, many wee drams? Could you include some "lamb fries"? (a dish a women find amusing and causes many men to cross their legs, tightly)? Questions, questions, questions. Thank you, laddie.

With summer beach season coming up ... some of us have had to limit calories where ever possible. No olives, celery stalks, cherries. Putting the kibosh on the fruit salad in general. Sigh.

Randon notes: I wouldn't use anything scratchy on the inside of the pan... the original surface is what helps the "non-stick" quality of cast iron. You could use a lye solution to remove old, cooked on crud... the traditional method is to make hooks with wire hangers, immerse pans in lye solution for a week or two. It works great, but the lye burns seriously if it gets on your hands. Cast iron collectors are insane, so if you have unusual pieces, a check on Ebay might show that one antique piece could be traded for an entire set of new Lodge cookware.

They are listed as Restaurant Week participants (Jan. 14-20). Whether Corduroy will do anything special during those ten or so days after RW and before closing, I don't know. Tears and Hugs? Celebratory toasts? Powerpoint presentation about the new place? Business as usual? It could be anything. (Or everything). If the hotel remains open, someone is likely to look for the restaurant at 12th and K, and say ???????????

A member of our party ordered the lobster carpaccio ... I thought the idea a little strange, and the result delicious.

click Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies are ...? 1. So not right. 2. Sound good. 3. Completely un-American 4. All of the above I'm going with #4, since I haven't made them yet. Apparently there were threats of violence when this recipe was posted.

Someone, whose name you know, does two-a-days, and sometimes three-a-days.It's all a matter of priorities.

Not related to "vented spleen", I take it ... something of a Washington specialty.

I don't know, but FE probably has a webcam and temperature monitor connected to a cellphone texting gadget to let him know ... "Everything fine, carry on!" or maybe just " ".

Oy.

What some enjoy as an appetizer, others prefer as dessert. Many of those who appreciate the finer things in life consider an imaginative and passionate grope the perfect amuse-bouche before a great steak. To each his/her own.

Have you considered the S2/S4 Metrobus? Straight up 16th, and fairly frequent.Let's see ... 16th and U to ... Colorado? Whatever. Have a good time.

I always think the odd names have hidden meanings. A wine named "Five Legged Goat" might be an aphrodisiac? More likely, it might be named for a famous art work at Disney World. A drink call the "Green Fairy"? Invented by an Irish organization of same sort? No, a name for absinthe (or a drink made from absinthe). It is a strange, strange world.

Recipes? Photos? Police report? Give us the inside scoop, for the tiny, discerning(very discreet) audience who might be listening.

OK. Dump the big project on the new person. Slackers, all.

I was going to put up my recipe for tofu turducken, but now ... I don't think it would be appreciated.

Happy Birthday, Brett Ashley!

Some might consider a bit of ribald laughter and a glass of wine a desirable addition when cooking. Not everyone shares that philosophy. My wife's family considers cooking a very serious matter, to be conducted without frivolity (and best done by women). Drink wine in the kitchen? Absurd. My MIL noticed that while I was helping serve a backyard dinner, I was not wearing shoes (and was somewhat wine soaked). I don't think she approved. Since then I have imagined cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my in-laws, and emerging from the kitchen, three-sheets-to-the-wind, carrying the beautiful turkey, wearing only a leopard print thong. (idea stolen from La Cage Aux Folles?) I think the in-laws would plotz. They already think I am hopelessly weird. And possibly dangerous.

I've heard it before, that glass of tap water is Potomac water. Most of that water has never been to Potomac. No matter how much people need a prestige brand name, bottles of "Chateau Blue Plains" would probably sell very slowly, indeed.

I don't really know the economics, but with the oceans of wine being produced, who knows with any certainty what to bottle? Is a product rated "82" a better item (from a business point view) than a quirky bottle "not rated"? My own (paranoid) view is that wine producers who play the ratings game will use any and all wine chemist methods to "move up the scale". Some of them will find that they have created a product that would have been considered "perfect" five years ago, and that is now considered OK but not very interesting. I do find the ratings numbers distracting. It is disturbing see an interesting bottle, and then notice that it is an "86" and that down the shelf is a bottle rated "90". It should not make a difference, but the competitive factor does momentarily kick in (at least for me).

1. Someone else is paying ... Mayflower Hotel ... many deal making spaces 2. Medium ... Kramer Books Cafe ... outdoor, not for the food (please don't hurt me!) 3. Low ... coffee from McDonalds, meeting in Farragut Square

The last time we were at RTC, some of the other customers (sniff) looked as though they couldn't get a resy at Clyde's so ... Those who try to find out "What's up?' by trying to do a Vulcan mind-meld on ML often find the experience disquieting. I find it almost unimaginable that RTC would be sucked down to the pathetic level of the geo-gastronomy of Silver Spring. [incoherent ramblings ... I must stop here]
