  1. I didn't know his son was a baseball player, and I only know who Pete LaCock was because I'm sure I had his baseball card.
  2. Chicken tarragon hand pies bought at a local farmer's market ages ago, with a side of sauteed green beans, tomatoes, and peppers from our garden.
  3. I grew up near Great Adventure amusement park in NJ. I had no idea until just now that it was conceived and designed by Warner LeRoy, who created The Russian Tea Room and Tavern on the Green.
  4. RG Borlotti Lamon beans in a homemade tomato & pepper sauce over polenta. The recipe calls for sauteeing 2 oz. of prosciutto along with parsley until brown, about 10 minutes, before adding it to the cooked beans. Doing this to prosciutto makes the dish taste very porky IMO.
  5. Tricolor pearl couscous cooked with a little chopped red kale I found in the freezer. Garden tomatoes on the side. "Dessert" of Illy cold brew with condensed milk mixed in.
  6. I was thinking that too.
  7. And still another duplicate post. System is weird.
  8. Mine would fail as well. We'd all be dead immediately.
  9. I was at the market last week and was very tempted to get the ricotta from that stand, but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, just cooking for myself. Let us know what you think of the mozzarella.
  10. Got that Cutty Bang after all. These are the contents; while ostensibly it makes 1 serving, there's no way I could consume this much alcohol in one go--it became 3 separate drinks for me. 50-mL bottle Seagram's gin 50-mL bottle Tanqueray gin 50-mL bottle Bacardi Limon Can pineapple juice "Cutty Bang" also refers to the whole genre of baggies containing liquor + mixers. This is one of the tamer offerings.
  11. Because the masses aren't clamoring for offal?
  12. My boss has COVID. I haven't seen her in person in 7 days and I'm feeling OK, but I'm still not out of the woods yet.
  13. Sadly, they do. Off to the compost bin.
  14. I found deep in the freezer a package of Italian sausages dated December 2020. Cook or compost?
  15. For the start of the Olympics, TCM ran several Olympics documentaries. I just finished watching one showing the 1924 Paris Olympics, the games with Paavo Nurmi (who kept checking his watch during his races), Johnny Weissmuller, and Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddel of Chariots of Fire fame. In a very French, very of-its-time touch, the marathoners took both water and wine breaks.
  16. Two possible wedding trips next year: one to Graz, Austria (grad student of N's) and one to Seattle (cousin's son).
  17. I'd listened to "Shake Hands With Your Uncle Max" many, many times before realizing that it was parodying an Irish song.
  18. Trifle-tiramisu-refrigerator cake mashup: homemade whipped cream, ladyfingers, Osborne Cream Sherry, and fresh berries.
  19. It used to be in the General Discussions section, before the Crash.
  20. If that's the case, I'd rather hear "Vienna Calling".
