6 seats at the bar, it says on Resy, so well done her.

I have often asked vegans to undertake a blind taste test of real and non-meat haggis. They always demur.

Aw c’mon, I still use those to haul stuff back from the good Netcosts or the hilariously misnamed NY Bread in Coney Island.

I bet she lived forever. I did make the Bijou again tonight, no prune, just a lemon garnish.

I didn’t feel like cooking after a day of staying indoors and rearranging books. I had a piece of pork loin so I smeared it all over with Maille mustard, rolled it in seasoned breadcrumbs (with paprika) and put it in the oven for 45 minutes. Cooked with indifference, served with a lemon wedge, it was really good. I regret that I was too sullen to take a photo.

The Bijou is great. This is the prune variant of course (soak a prune in any liquor and it becomes good eating).

Thanks Stephanie. I do love recipes where I have all the ingredients. That will be first up in cocktail hour this evening. (Actually I don't have a cherry. I have a prune.)

I need to get out there for some Mozart sausage at least.

A bunch of perfect pop records.

And…sold out.

Not if I see you first 🤣

Already. I wouldn’t sleep if I didn’t have one. https://wl.seetickets.us/BabysAllRightBrooklyn

No, in the Celebrities Who Warmly Encourage Fans To Follow Them Forum.

I see I am personally responsible for Hinds coming to NYC, thank me later.

Years ago someone in New Jersey used to make it for that Scottish restaurant that started in the Village then moved to -- was it Forsyth Street? Looks like it's available online.

I have tickets to see Hinds and Kayla Farrish in the same month. I guess 2024 is all downhill from there. Unless Adia Victoria returns.

Aha, of course they're headed this way after SXSW.

Mitch and I are already on this, but for anyone else: Hinds are playing Baby's All Right on March 18 and it will sell out fast. Same block as Peter Luger; I thought it was a fairly small venue. Imagine seeing the best band in the world in a small venue.

He has been replaced by...a Mancunian (who I've not yet met).

I saw canned haggis in Myers of Keswick recently. Not sure about that. Presumably it's just the stuffing without the casing.

Looks like it (I don't know the place). Reviews here from two weeks ago. https://xn--tengritaguyghurcuisinenyc-m059b958bhx8t8oxf.net/

Chama Mama, Piggyback, Coppelia. There is a pattern here: two people meeting for dinner who need to get to Penn Station or the 1,2,3 afterwards. But yes, who has been to Coppelia within the last five years? Not me, although I walk by all the time and it's clearly doing good business. Deservedly, because this is one of the places where the food is better than it needs to be. And the portions are vast. Frito mixto, to share thank god and we still didn't finish it. Four very large slabs of rabo for me, perfectly executed, plus a bowl of rice and black beans I sent home with my friend. For her, an apparently bottomless bowl of lomo saltado. I ordered some smoky negronis, not particularly smoky but just decent negronis. About $140 for two before tip. No wonder the place is popular.

Wise present from my daughter’s trip to Paris. Welcome Remy. (Especially as I live in a neighborhood where the city is experimenting with rat famine!)

Oh jeez are we competing for the last of the sausage?

Thank you, I was looking at the menu which is great but hadn’t heard any personal references in ages.
