shogun Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Yeah, I'm dissapointed, too...haven't been to the grill in a while. I was supposed to see the people Tuesday (And the Saturday before!) for the parts, but they are being flakes. Frankly, I'll believe I have these parts when my TV stand starts acting more like a computer. Is now a bad time to mention I probably can't do happy hour on Friday because I have to go to a friend's LAN party? Edited to recall: Oh, the LAN thing goes until Midnight. Should be fine.

Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Nadya and johnb and I were in the back room. Nadya said she saw you stick your head in. Long line today. Massive pork shoulder (yawn) sandwich today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 That must've been the second time I stopped in---the first time there was no line, so I went around the corner to fix my glasses. Then someone in my office called and asked if I could pick up a couple of hot dogs, so I thought I'd poke my head in to see if I could see anyone-- Maybe next time!

laniloa Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sonoma has sent preview invites to those who signed up on their website and the menu looks great. Five courses with 2-3 choices per at $25 and two wine choices at $4/glass or $14/bottle. They are running 2 seatings a night tonight, tomorrow and Sunday and are asking you to submit 2 preferences for seatings for up to 6 people. I would be interested in either Sunday, May 15 times of 6pm or 7pm if 5 of you want in on this. PM me if interested until 4:30 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackers Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Some of us who are Maryland 'burbs / Baltimore oriented (yes, there are a few!) are heading out for some good Korean bbq on Wednesday at Han Sung in Ellicott City. (A 13-course Chinese banquet and a picnic this weekend required a couple of days of rest before another excursion...) We're thinking of gathering at 7pm. It's located at 3570 St. John's Lane, at Frederick Rd. PM or email me if you want to join us, so we'll know to save enough room. Or just show up and we'll wing it.

dcfoodie Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 and a nice gesture - a free scoop of the mint choc chip for our 4 yr old - absolutely the best mint choc chip ice cream I have ever tasted - truly exceptional - the taste was akin to what you get when you pop a mint leave into your mouth - it made us want to order a full serving but by then we were ready to burst  They have the mint ice cream now??!!

simdelish Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Although many may be pigged out from the picnic, I ran across this today... sounds interesting: Smithsonian Associates is presenting a "pork pilgrimage" with cookbook author, New York Times columnist, and "hamthropologist" Peter Kaminsky as he wittily recounts his passionate quest for all things porcine... Saturday June 4 12:00pm at MICHEL RICHARD CITRONELLE It will be a book signing and luncheon featuring Peter Kaminsky's new book PIG PERFECT (for info or to register: call The Smithsonian Associates at 202 375-3030 www.ResidentAssociates.org) Mark, will there be piggy wines to match?
