  1. 4 oz bottle of Nielsen-Massey vanilla bean paste $11 @ Williams Sonoma. Not bad, as it's $9.95 on Amazon. Lady in front of me also buying a bottle, amusing the cashier. WF and TJ did not have it today. Recipe for bourbon pecan pie called for either paste or extract -- thought I'd splurge; never used it before.
  2. Vanilla paste available in local stores? Not at Wegman's or Penzey's, so will be checking Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, MOM's today....
  3. (psst: don't get Rocks started on the possible combinations of merged restaurants....)
  4. At DC Brau promptly at 1:00 pm to refill my growler. Wrote down Zora's BBQ sauce recipe in case we lose power and access to my (computer-stored) recipes. We're set.
  5. And if you're in Racine, pick up a kringle. If you've never heard of it, do it anyway.
  6. Calls for the creation of a new Spike-centric slam along the line of the Texas "All hat, no cattle."
  7. And the only options to comment on a Yelp review are "useful," "funny," or "cool."
  8. Latest iteration: LA Times food critic photographed(!) by restaurant owner and booted -- restaurant's take LAT blog on incident and LAT story
  9. Family friendly Salvadoran = Samantha's
  10. Wiki sez:" In a proper pasty, the filling ingredients must never be cooked before they are wrapped in the pastry casing; that is the main difference between a pasty and an empanada." I would add: Yoopers have never heard of an empanada.
  11. You'll never take me alive, copper!
  12. Fox News Sunday's Power Player of the Week for his East River efforts. This is not the piece that aired but apparently some additional footage of Chris Wallace's interview. Power Player Plus: Michael Landrum
  13. And even on the plate -- our table's second order of the night of 3 carne asada and 1 cecina; couldn't tell which one was the cecina by looks alone.
  14. That's an easy one: "'We' means togetherness, unity, peace and good will. ... 'We' is the promise of better days and brighter futures and the opportunity to finally be ourselves because together, 'we' are one. ... Smells are richer. Sights are more beautiful. Sounds are clearer and Tastes more glorious with 'we.' 'We' brings meaning to the mundane. When 'we' joins together and puts another before 'I' and 'me,' the world becomes a better place." Wee, the P add your own "sic(k)s" Don, are you writing copy for him?
  15. About 4:30 Sunday afternoon, we were the only ones who chose to sit outside Ray's HB. Inside was pretty full, apparently with the heretofore-unknown-to-me species of vulture. While the day was a bit warm, we were in the shade, and enjoying our burgers outside was very pleasant. Even the guy strolling past with a "Meat is Murder" t-shirt couldn't change that.....
  16. Can't speak for their catering, but Kloby's has a pretty solid rep for BBQ, ribs, etc. They do whole pig, as well. I would think Laurel would not be too far for them to deliver to Sandy Point. catering section of Kloby's website
  17. Pretty close.... from the Express interview: "This shake is undeniably delicious, but I had no idea it would become, in fact, legendary. We thought of the idea because we're huge marshmallow freaks in my family..."
  18. In '08 reviews of GSE, Ann Limpert and Tim Carman, as well as one other reviewer, wrote that he added yogurt to his shakes. Whether he now uses sour cream as per his cookbook, Rachael, Oprah, CBS Morning Show, etc. etc., I don't care. Just commenting on the stupid boast that he invented the toasted marshmallow shake, particularly when his early version was just like the Stand's and likely others before either.
