Re: Eating in Florence

Ahh, this was two weeks in mid May and unfortunately did not make Cibreo. We are already making plans to return as this was a book only half read. We really fell in love with Italy and if things turn bad here I would live there and be happy. I find myself still eating things like prosciutto and melo...

Re: Disturbing video of Oil on Fort Walton Beach

We are a nation of laws and due process, we have a Constitution. The muslim murderer at Ft Hood is still the alleged killer until he gets his day in court. His sentence of life or death is not given him before his day in court, even the mastermind of the 9/11 attack gets his trial then the sentence....

They were accused of advertisement of a beer company which gave them the tickets. I here by pledge to never complain about Dutch models in mini-dresses, Obama has ...

Re: Bam Bam Gets Morel Mushrooms Amazes Justagirl With His Culinary Ability

Were these morels dried or fresh? How big were they? I love Morels but they are hard to find fresh. If truly fresh, very little needs to be done to them except to be sauteed in butter w/ salt and pepper. I have used them over veal or filets dried, by re-constituting them in port but I do not cut the...

Re: Gershwin Prize event at White House: A really big night for Sir Paul McCartney

You attack the person, the sources and the facts but never engage the ideas or facts to prove them wrong. The facts that were stated were just that, facts. I am as much an independent as you claim to be and certainly do not support the actions of the former administration that contributed heavily to...

Re: Gershwin Prize event at White House: A really big night for Sir Paul McCartney

Where was all this empathy for W when he was President?The hypocrisy is so bad, it is beyond reason the depths they were willing to go toward blaming him for everything imaginable. Obama should just stuff copies of the constitution down the pipe and be done with it. ---------- Post added at 12:36 PM...

Re: How was your NOWFE wine dinner?

Commander's was great, just a very neat atmosphere. Little one bite lump crab with champagne in the garden to start as a greet and meet period. The pepper sauce oyster w/ghost pepper caviar. The whole party was taken through the kitchen to the upstairs Garden Room. The vichyssoise was outstanding, f...

Re: Stock Market Fun

I was stuck in traffic until after 2, I've never seen anything like it before and I've been around a long time. Some people made a lot of money on that dip, we always keep buys "good til canceled" at really low prices that went off automatically and then was sold within minutes. I am stuck...
