    I saw them at Costco but not sure what I would do with so many.

    I've seen the recipe and wondered about the raw onions. Thank you for the rec from smitten kitchen. I might give it a go!

    Looking for a recommendation for 3 red wines for a wine tasting group that has met monthly for 25 plus years. Usually 2 price points - up to $50. Hoping to offer something unusual and good- harsh critics here;) Thank you

    Must have been those square Coney Island style knishes? Mrs. Stahl's were baked and round with the thinnest dough. Zabars has knishes at the lunch counter . Was there last December but they were leaden. Definitely a disappointment .

    Lamenting the loss of Mrs. Stahl's knishes in Brighton Beach. Never had one to come close in DC.

    I think Calvert Woodley might still have bialys.

    Having just returned from a month in the Cycladic Islands, I can attest to the fact that some Greek Salads aka Dakos or Cretan Dakos Salads are made with barley rusks and the rusks are often large, sometimes in crouton size pieces but often whole rusks at the bottom of the bowl.

    My kids loved the chicken ones but to me they tasted and smelled very "cabbagy" when cooking. When they moved out, we no longer purchased them. That being said, they were often a hit at potluck gatherings.

    Went to the next-door Latin market yesterday and Hokkaido is shuttered with a sign that says closed for remodeling . I wonder if it may be permanent ?

    Thank you for your replies. I guess I missed them last Thursday at WF in Arlington, TJ Baileys and Giant Baileys! and thank you for the NPR link

    Has anyone seen fresh pomegranates lately. I thought they were usually available locally by now but I cannot find any.

    Hate to say it, but Nabisco Famous Wafers have changed. It was do disappointingly noticeable that I called the company to complain. Not chocolaty enough anymore- I guess those transfats really had an effect on flavor.

    I'd add Zazpi to the pintxos list. It is outside the old part of town in the centro area but walkable . Walk back to the bar and order any specials. Delicious, untouristy and worth a visit.

    I first had pouce pieds in Paris 20 years ago and have searched for them ever since. Portugal and Spain have them in fish markets and restaurants especially in coastal restaurants . I had heard they were available by mail from Oregon but you would want them fresh not frozen.

    Hydrox were my choice over Oreos.. Thin Oreos more like Hydrox.

    Bought one on prime day... Now figuring out the best first dish to make.

    Heads up! call first to make sure the bar is available. Decided to enjoy the bar menu last night after about a year hiatus which followed very regular monthly or twice monthly visits. Arrived around 6:00 in order to secure 4 bar seats and was faced with a group of 25 standing in the bar. Apparently a group had reserved the bar until 7:30 (ish which lasted longer). We always go early and had never thought to call ahead. Class act.. Mark Slater agreed to permit us to be seated in the upstairs front room and order from the bar menu. Dinner was delicious as ever-snapper bisque, pork loin, flat iron steak, which had replaced the faux ribeye, and I ventured off the bar menu and ordered scallops and grits and tuna tartare . Another great meal ... But be forewarned if you are accustomed to dropping by.

    I bought a spoiled one at the Giant Baileys Crossroads but replaced it with horseradish I bought at WF Pentagon City today. What seemed strange to me is that some of the horseradish root was commercially wrapped and others as usual. But WF did not have dill so had to go back to Giant today to get dill.

    Enjoy! But don't have your heart set on French foie gras. France has experienced another bout of avian flu and flocks have been culled . Last summer there was virtually no foie gras in the region ( unless imported ) and much the same for this year.

    Me thinks this crowd is not the audience but thank you for the offer. I will keep the book in mind for the future.

    The Hokkaido Uni at Takumi is delicious. As is sea urchin plucked fresh from the Greek waters. While in Hokkaido, we feasted on bowls full -

    Mmm!

    Excellent advice!

    I'm liking too many options the kuku sabzi is a possibility - although some online images show it looking bright green ( a good thing) or kinda brownish and not appetizing. I'll try the Milk Street recipe and see - The mouse eggs are adorable! And orzo ala rissoto is looking like a keeper. Also onion dip ... Getting hungry here. It is difficult to stick to a balanced theme ... I appreciate all the input Linda
