  1. I got a 10" Shun knife for my birthday. I love it. Two years ago, I got a 14" stainless saute pan, and last year some cookbooks I had my eye on. What's your favorite food-related gift? Was it new or an family heirloom?
  2. I might be interested. We may give it a preview tonight too. Love, Heather the DR.com dominatrix. OK, you can change my screen name back now.
  3. No Marcel's for us. Sadly, a $600 car repair pre-empts our plans tomorrow. Sigh.
  4. It's a little early to be knocking them back, isn't it?
  5. Any Asian market will have it CHEAP - like 1/3 the price of Whole Foods.
  6. The Rockville Giant has jars and lids, but doesn't always have pectin. Rockville Food Lion has lids, pectin and pickling salt, but not jars. Very annoying, and neither has any other kind of equipment. Wal-Mart or a hardware store might be your best bet if you need a kettle, jar lifter, etc. along with jars. Or you could try online - several sites offer a Ball "starter kit".
  7. Pre-dinner snack of sauteed chicken liver, s&p, little bit of booze mashed and smeared on toast. Beet salad with olive oil, champagne vinegar, goat cheese and basil chiffonade Roast chicken stuffed with tarragon and garlic cloves Sweet corn Humbolt Fog with an indifferent baguette Very nice Macon-Fuisse ('01, name escapes me) with dinner
  8. Seems all the Asian markets (big and small) are relocating to the burbs. We have four within a 1/2 mile of our house in Rockville.
  9. Thanks for tip on Butlers - I'm ordering a flat (14 lbs!) of already picked sour cherries for canning - $30. I will supply the drinks for anyone who will come over and help me pit the damn things.
  10. Eggs Benedict. Two Bloody Marys. I was talked into these - I don't usually drink at breakfast.
  11. There's a glass of rose with my name on it. See you there.
  12. What about Hanks? Although it's tough to do HH without a bar. We're still thinking of Firefly - I'd suggest Dino but mdt was just there last night.
  13. Yeah, aren't you on your honeymoon or something?
  14. I wish. Thanks! The actual day is Tuesday, but we're getting the party started a few days early.
  15. Yeah, crazy talk. Parking near 2 Amy's sucks ventworm nut. It's my birthday, so wherever we go needs to have good cocktails.
  16. 2 Amy's might be good - what time would we have to show up to get a seat?
  17. We're in. Edit to say that we were thinking Firefly, but will show up wherever.
  18. They make me tired too, and my in-laws keep getting us a subscription to their newsletter. Gee, sour cream isn't good for you? I would have never known that without their intrepid reporting.
  19. I gotta agree with Barbara. I think a tasting of Italian sandwiches, or Banh Mi, or whatever would be in order at a Nats game.
  20. It's where we take the kids sometimes. Their kids menu is more interesting than most places, and mine love the tortilla machine.
