(Or maybe just a different economic one.)

I guess Brooklyn is in a different geoclimatic zone than Manhattan.

I have ramps. God knows where they came from.

Julian Glover is Robert Wyatt’s half-brother.

Ramps aren’t usually available locally till the last week or so in April.

You can’t say enough.

What's the big deal about fish milt? When they serve it in a Japanese restaurant, no one makes a stink about it. I remember one week I had cod milt in a Japanese restaurant one night and cod roe in an Italian restaurant the next. I thought I'd give birth to a cod.

Isn't the inapplicable word she's searching for "ouroburos"? (Seriously, maybe that's what set her off.)

No.

When somebody refers to secondi on an Italian menu as "pasta-free options", you kind of have to wonder whether they have the slightest idea how Italian food works.

Doug Wimbish is a god.

You’re not alone in that.

He sang like a girl. And he sang like a frog.

Lobster ravioli (not made by me duh) with a tree tomato cream sauce and RAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! The idea behind the tree tomatoes was that their citrusy tang would be good with lobster. Seemed to work. I didn't really expect the tropical fruit accents — but they were not unwelcome. Flame-roasted asparagus from the Kazmatik (where I'd previously roasted the tree tomatoes) (need to get their bitter skin off!) on the side. 2022 Vini Rabasco Cancellino Trebbiano is far from my favorite grrape. But they can seemingly do no wrong in Abruzzo these days (if you're careful about the producer). And this Trebbianno d'Abruzzo is a clear winner. It's grown just inland from the Adriatic, and it has a salinity that's really good with seafood. While not remotely off-dry, it lands between tart and round: great for a cream sauce. The only thing missing is exotic fruit to go with the tree tomato -- but it'll live.

LIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1960, after years of resisting, Moe Berg (one of my two biggest heroes) agreed to write his memoirs. He quit the project when the ghost assigned to work with him confused him with Moe Howard.

That is true of so many things.

So it's YOU!

I guess I have to wait a half hour for the emergency notification.

Was that just some kind of aftershock a minute ago or something happening in my building?

They're doing road work on the next block and I totally thought it was that. And yeah, I thought it was pretty hilarious to get an emergency warning telling me about the earthquake like a half hour after it happened.

Which I guess makes life easier for him. But cuts down on his value as a food reviewer.

Or I guess what I mean is "can't discern".

But of course, as we've learned, Sietsema doesn't believe in differences in ingredient quality.
