Best southern fried chicken in Sarasota
- CapeCodGuy Sep 2, 2008 08:14 PM
Spending a week on Siesta Key this October and looking for some great fried chicken with all the fixins. Any rec is greatly appreciated! BTW...not expecting any recs on the key and can drive for good chow.
I can't help you out with chicken, but if you want some excellent BBQ and pulled pork, try HICKORY HOLLOW on Rt 301 in Ellenton, Its about 1-mile on the left heading west off Rt 75. Watch closely or you will miss the joint.... They have about 15 daily side dishes to choose from, and really good food. When you leave there head east and stop at the factory outlets at the Ellenton Factory Outlet Mall.
Dude, I like the way you do it: thinking about the fried chicken you are going to want next month on vacation. The only fried chicken I have had in Sarasota is at Yoder's, an amish restaurant (http://www.yodersrestaurant.com ). My recollection is that it was good. I am up in Tampa, so I haven't been able to figure out the fried chicken scene in Sarasota. Recently, I have been plugging Aunt Lee's in Clearwater. You could take a drive up to Caldesi Island, the no. 1 beach for 2008, and stop on the way. It's just a little drive-up window but it reminds of my beloved Harold's Chicken Shack from my Chicago days. For whatever reasons, fried chicken does not seem to be so prevalent here. Maybe because of all the fried seafood? I don't know. I am eager to hear what kind of responses you will receive.
re: CFishman
Looks like Yoder's is the place. Thanks for the rec! I have a hankering for good fried chicken that I just can't shake so I'm looking forward to it. We have lots of fried seafood up here so that holds little interest. We fry the good stuff, too, clams, cod, halibut, and sole, and shrimp are shrimp no matter where you live.
re: CapeCodGuy
I recommend a trip to Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs (http://www.rustybellies.net ). They have changed my mind about shrimp being shrimp. They have their own boats and the shrimp come in super big and fresh. Let us know how you like Yoder's.
Yoders, without a doubt. There are certain days that they don't do fried chicken though, so you'll want to call ahead to check. Also, make sure to get some pie. The pumpkin cream is particularly good.
Basically there is no good southern fried chicken in the Sarasota/Osprey/Venice strip. Yoder's is the best there is, and it's OK at best. Real Southern food is sadly lacking in this area, as is quality seafood. We're swamped with mediocre Italian joints due to the NY/NJ seasonal crowd. There is an outstanding Pizza place - Valentino's on Clark; that is at least as good as Lombardi's in New York.
re: KiltedCook
For excellent seafood try Da Ja Vu at Gulf Gate. He is an exceptional fish chef and his squid is the best I have ever had... give it a try.
re: Nick
Crager's has lost its edge. I went there yesterday for a breakfast special. The sausage links were deep fried. The soft scrambled eggs were soft but not fully scrambled and had whites clearly not mixed in. The homefries were boiled and reheated with no crisp on them and overly seasoned with paprika and no salt. I asked for the toast extra dark and it was not even blond. Really a dissapointment. The cook was just lazy. I am afraid to know what the chicken is like if it was just pretty good before. Stick to Yoder's just skip the potato pancakes. They are like breakfast pancakes not lakes. Yoder's has good chicken. Have a nice visit. :-)
re: suzigirl
I agree - Crager's is right near where I live, but I never go there - it's just a greasy spoon - ugh.
Best fried chicken to me is from Publix, hands down. Crispy, juicy and just delish!
re: gypsyrose
I haven't been there in years and back when they were good. Now they are just awful. I won't be back
re: normanwest
Try the fried chicken at the Texaco Station just past I75 on Fruitville.
re: Arthur16
Arthur16..........Actually I tried the "Texaco" fried Chix, after it was written up in the local rag several weeks ago. I my opinion it is MUCH better than Yoder's, which isn't bad. only pboblem it is not a restaurant, there are shaded picnic tables outside, you have a choice of some good Mexican sides, or the standard Southern fare. There are very good, Fried Livers and Gizzards, Gorditas and meatloaf too. Price makes it notable value too!
re: ospreycove
I have been in there getting gas on the way to my parents house and the food looks decent. I'm not to proud to eat consession stand gas station food. I'm giving it whirl. Thanks for the heads up both of you
re: suzigirl
Go a little before the lunch rush about 11:30 that is when they are really frying as fast as they can!
re: Arthur16
Awesome. Thanks for the tip!
re: normanwest
Honestly, Popeyes is pretty good :)
re: Little T.
I like Popeye's also.

Time to go swimming!
Jen and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise today, with only a few clouds on the horizon and the ever-present strong winds blowing in from the ocean. Today's activity was centered around a journey to the southern end of Dominica, where we'd go snorkeling at Champagne Reef, hike out to Scott's Head, and try out some sulfur hot springs near the town of Soufriere. As usual, we ordered our continental breakfast and geared up for the day. I'd purchased a snorkel and mask before our ...

Not exactly new or old – you'd swear this truck was a 1965 Dodge D200 Power Wagon.
And you'd be right about the body and seat frames. The chassis is from a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500. Everything else is new, high-tech, and top-of-the line.
The truck was hand-built in Los Angeles by Icon 4x4 for a rancher in Wyoming. It took 14 months to build and cost about $300,000. Original equipment included a slant six engine. This truck has a 5.9-liter Cummins turbo-diesel capable of producing 500 horsepower and 975 foot-pounds of torque. Another departure from the original is the American Bison leather upholstery and Rolls Royce wool carpet (I'm thinking the owner probably makes people take their boots off before he gives them a ride).

a natural history of transformation
WATER : a Recipe in seven steps
AIR : The Education of an Amateur baker
EARTH : Fermentation's cold fire
Afterward : Hand Taste
Appendix : Four Recipies
A Short shelf of books on cooking.
"Fire, water, air, earth--our most trusted food expert recounts the story of his culinary education In Cooked, Michael Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. Here, he discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements--fire, water, air, and earth--to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, Pollan learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. In the course of his journey, he discovers that the cook occupies a special place in the world, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking, and so, in the process, is the cook. Each section of Cooked tracks Pollan's effort to master a single classic recipe using one of the four elements. A North Carolina barbecue pit master tutors him in the primal magic of fire; a Chez Panisse-trained cook schools him in the art of braising; a celebrated baker teaches him how air transforms grain and water into a fragrant loaf of bread; and finally, several mad-genius "fermentos" (a tribe that includes brewers, cheese makers, and all kinds of picklers) reveal how fungi and bacteria can perform the most amazing alchemies of all. The reader learns alongside Pollan, but the lessons move beyond the practical to become an investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, our history and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishes and delights. Cooking, above all, connects us. The effects of not cooking are similarly far reaching. Relying upon corporations to process our food means we consume huge quantities of fat, sugar, and salt; disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends. In fact, Cooked argues, taking back control of cooking may be the single most important step anyone can take to help make the American food system healthier and more sustainable. Reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self-reliance, learning to perform the magic of these everyday transformations, opens the door to a more nourishing life. "--Provided by publisher.

Nice review ksoles. Thanks.
Perhaps he talks about BBQ so much because he has a brother in law in the BBQ business? But that brother in law is Jewish so I don't know why he kept choosing to write about pigs?
I've liked Pollan since reading his Harper's article on opium poppies.
A mostly interesting look at the histories and types of ways that humans process foods before consuming them. ( the pre-digestion that allows humans to consume the widest variety ). Well written as always with the authors personality at the fore front. Worth reading, especially if you are a fan of the author.
Fabulous writing, as always. Like Harold McGee, but even more so, Pollan makes the science of food understandable and entertaining.
Fun to read! Pollan personally experiments with different forms of cooking and takes us as the readers with him.
A great read!
As per usual Michael Pollan is in fine form in this book - Cooked is an indepth look at 4 different cooking techniques, and the science, the history, the health and the spirit behind them.
I enjoyed chapter 1 (Fire) on BBQ-ing, but felt it went on a bit too long. Chapter 2 on braising (cooking with water) was a bit thin on the history and the science, that might be because of the topic or because cooking with water has often been considered a 'female' form of cooking and thus has less official documentation than other forms of cooking. Or it may have just been the idea itself - cooking with water can be easy (boiling a veggie) or complex (a many layered stew) - this was the chapter I felt had the least to say.
Chapter 3 and 4 (baking and fermentation) were really where Pollan shines as a writer.
And if this doesn't get you interested in baking your own bread or trying your hand at making kimchee I don't know what will.
An inspirational book from a wonderful food writer! Highly recommended.
I am a better cook because I read this book and finally, I have learned how to make bread that is good.
Not up to Pollan's usual standard. He either needed money, or was under contract to deliver another book. The fact that millions of people are avoiding wheat seems to have eluded him, and the access to ancient grains and many hours to produce exquisite bread are out of reach for almost everyone. The one good section was the last, on fermentation. In ten years, a great deal of healthcare will focus on our intestinal flora, and fermented foods will be recognized for their vital contribution to health. Mostly, this book was a self-indulgent exercise, not too much benefit to the reader.
This latest book from Michael Pollan is excellent. As usual, he has fascinating information to share, and he writes very well. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in food, cooking, eating, or good health. That should be pretty much everyone! Enjoy!
"Eat food. Not too much, Mostly plants." This mantra from Michael Pollan's 2008 bestseller, "In Defence of Food" has helped kickstart a modern movement away from the ugly industrial food chain and towards a healthier, more humane and ecologically friendly way of eating. However, in his introduction to the newly released "Cooked," Pollan worries: "It is entirely possible that, within another generation, cooking a meal from scratch will seem as exotic and ambitious – as 'extreme' – as most of us today regard brewing beer or baking a loaf of bread or putting up a crock of sauerkraut." He therefore sets out to explore the power of cooking, loosely defined as transforming raw, undigestible foods into wholesome, delicious ones. He divides "Cooked" into sections on fire, water, air and earth, a theoretically brilliant conceit based on the four classical elements that can transform food. Unfortunately, fire and water can only get so interesting...
The fire section introduces readers to one guy who barbecues whole pigs, and then to another guy who barbecues whole pigs. Pollan learns from the guys how to barbecue whole pigs, then proceeds to barbecue a big piece of pig in the firepit he keeps in his front yard in Berkeley. He dresses up this narration with quotes from and anecdotes about the Marquis de Cussy, Claude Lévi-Strauss and a French philosopher named Gaston Bachelard, who wrote the not-so-scinitillating-sounding "The Psychoanalysis of Fire." Water follows fire in a very tedious chapter devoted to braising and the joys of chopping onions. Eminently skim-able.
"Cooked" does pick up in the second half, where Pollan turns to earth, discussing the bacteria and fungus that turn milk to cheese, grain to beer etc, and to air, explaining how flour and water become bread. Here, we meet "fermentos," who preach the critical but unappreciated role of bacteria in our diets, a nun who is also a PhD microbiologist and celebrated cheese maker, and a couple of the greatest bread makers in North America. Here, Pollan finally tells fascinating "foodie" stories steeped in chemistry, history and anthropology.
Pollan indeed proves that cooking provides the key to a healthy, sustainable food system but only half succeeds in raising awareness and excitement about getting into the kitchen.

Due to these trying economic time, the thought of a worthy 250 commuter, a workhorse, is certainly more appealing to riders than ever before. The Inazuma fills that role brilliantly. It's effective, idiot-proof and economical and its classy touches, badge, two-year warranty and more lift it above the general morass. The trouble is the price. We aren't convinced that the ...

The Yourban 125 is certainly not cheap, but you can't put a price on confidenc, which is exactly what the extra front wheel gives. The 300cc version is less than £1000 more expensive, has more power and can be ridden on a car licence.
278cc, 21.7bhp, 91mph, Insurance group
There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

Early models of the Royal Enfiled Bullet 500 weren't very well made and you might be better off finding a 2000 onwards example of this classic Brit single, now made in India. There have been many variants of the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 produced by the UK importers, from cafe racers to sidecar combos, with the Clubman GT offering the most power ...

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.
124cc, 12bhp, 60mph, Insurance group 5
The Suzuki RV125 VanVan is an enigmatic motorcycle, that's for sure. Farm hands, gamekeepers, race teams and surf dudes would be the ideal customers: it's perfect for whizzing around country estates, race paddocks and beaches. Fashion-conscious, retro fans must love Suzuki RV125 VanVans. Teenagers, probably, don't. Who knows? But it's still pretty cute: better than a quad or a scooter, ...

The Beta Alp is available in two 350cc versions, one looking like a trials machine, the other a Supermoto. If you are keen on trials then the slightly lighter Alp 200 might be enough for you, but the Beta Supermoto 350 makes a decent commuter/weekend fun bike, although it's a tad expensive for something using a fairly old tech 350 ...

One Less Car In Los Angeles
From the Archives: Navigating LA, which is known for its vastness and interlocking freeways, without a car is akin to a New Yorker pulling his vehicle from storage to run errands in midtown for a few hours. It's crazy. It doesn't even seem like an option. But what if I made it an option? I decided to try the unthinkable: live in LA for one week while my car sat in the driveway. The goal: see just how dependent I was on my car — and determine just how much I could buck that dependency.

On the Scene: 2014 NBA Draft
Climb out of the Atlantic Avenue subway station in Brooklyn and you'll run smack dab into the Barclays Center, a multi-event arena known for hosting a range of concerts and, more notably, the Brooklyn Nets and, soon, the New York Islanders. But last Thursday, June 26, saw a different kind of sporting spectacle: the timeless process of picking teams. This was the 2014 NBA draft: when players wear suits, fans wear jerseys, and no team no team walks away certain that they won or lost.

Welcome To Summer 2014
People who live in the tropics have a mixed blessing.

And now (or at least as of 6:51 AM ET) summer is officially here.

Don't Underestimate the Whites
From the Archives: For thru-hikers of the AT, the White Mountains are a cruel joke, coming near the end of a months-long journey that begins in the gentle hills of Georgia. But while the Whites can be cruel, they are also kind. Among the rocky steeps is a series of huts where a weary hiker can find a soft bed, warm smiles and hot meals.

Sure, you enjoy hard-charging adventure as much as the next guy — assuming the next guy is not Conrad Anker — but you don't mind admitting that your next vacation doesn't require a global rescue insurance plan.

In Armchair Adventures we bring you up close and personal with nature without eschewing the comforts of vacation, offering a few tips on maintaining Weekend Warrior shape in the process.
No excuses, just good shots
Essential Gear for the Amateur Movie Maker
From the Archives: Today's affordable tools, cameras, classes and copious creative outlets have brought making a film (one of the best story-telling devices) nearly to the everyman. Still, all those advances can't change a basic fact: sometimes making a movie means going to where the story is rather than waiting for it to come to you. But paying to check 10 Pelican cases of equipment will essentially eat your entire production budget, not to mention it's tough to sneak into a location if you have a fleet of boxes and bags. This kit can be carried by one or two people in traditional suitcases — which means you get your shots, no matter where those shots may be.

Icon: Rolex Military Submariner
If the Rolex Submariner is the most famous dive watch, then the Rolex Military Submariner, or MilSub, is the most famous military-issued dive watch.

Timeless timekeepers
How to Buy a Vintage Watch
From the Archives: Vintage watch buying is enjoying incredible popularity, thanks to a community of savvy collectors, great internet resources for both learning about and buying old watches, and a nostalgic yearning for quality products from an era before planned obsolescence. Old watches also represent great value, the chance to wear a piece of history and, if you're lucky, a good investment. Not to mention, they just look cool. We explore just how you should go about buying one of these beauties.
Thump the room, and finish that TPS report
Desktop Speakers that Deliver the Front Row Experience
From the Archives: Most of us have accepted the mediocre phonics that ooze through the speakers of our laptops and PCs, or the enclosed experience headphones provide. It's a let down really, seeing as how a small investment can transform a cubicle desk into a burgeoning soundstage. Arcade Fire at the 40-Watt Club versus an iMac on an Ikea Malm.
To pump some potency into your desktop listening experience, we've assembled this collection of excellent stereo monitors sure to have your ears buzzing. They don't have to break the bank (though they certainly can, if you're the splurging type), but this range of portable blasters to music studio monitors provide the chops to enliven any Netflix, Spotify, or Steam session. Now get jammin'.

First-Time Visitor with One Dinner in DC - Please Help!
- aching Sep 3, 2008 05:49 PM
We're going to be visiting DC for one night in a few weeks. It's my first visit to the city, and since we'll only have one dinner, I'd really like to know what restaurant should not be missed. We have no special requirements or constraints, but it would be nice to be able to walk (we're staying at the Sofitel). Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
Ici Urban in your hotel is suppose to be pretty good but I haven't been yet. So far my favorites are Ceiba and Proof.
I would go to either Central or Corduroy. Both are quite different but in my opinion they offer some of the best meals I've had in the city in recent memory. Creative and delicious meals. For a more lively atmosphere go to Central. For a more subdued atmosphere where the focus is completly on the food go to Corduroy.
For higher end (and clearly more expensive, although the other places will run $100+ for 2 people depending on what you order) I would go to Equinox, Palena, or Citronelle.
re: Elyssa
Would a solo diner feel out of place at of any of these suggestions? I also will have one free night in DC for dinner. I'll be staying near the zoo but would be open to any place within a reasonable cab ride. Thanks in advance.
re: buttertartz
I haven't been to Corduroy, so can't say. Central is a lively restaurant and you can ask for table to view open kitchen. If you're going to by yourself, I'd recommend Central for those reasons.
I would vote for Citronelle also. It's not really within walking distance, but if you only have one dinner in D.C., why not go for what many consider the best restaurant in the city. I had an excellent meal there a couple weeks ago. The food is outstanding, and no matter where you're seated, you'll have a great view of the kitchen and will be able to see the masters at work. Citronelle is located at 3000 M St., NW inside the Latham Hotel.
I also recommend Obelisk. Again, not within walking distance but worth a small trip. Obelisk is a small Italian place that offers a three-course menu--that changes daily--for $70 per person. In addition to your appetizer, main course, and dessert, you'll get a healthy array of antipasti, a pre-dessert cheese course, and a post-dessert assortment of goodies. I also had a wonderful experience here recently. Obelisk is at 2029 P St., NW.
re: ries27
" no matter where you're seated, you'll have a great view of the kitchen "
That's just not true.
re: Hal Laurent
Care to elaborate? We were seated at a table in the first row of the upper tier and had a great view. Given the huge opening to the kitchen it seemed to me that most folks would have at least some view no matter the vantage point. Where were you seated where it was difficult to see the kitchen? Just curious.
re: ries27
It's been a couple of years since we were there so I can't describe the layout exactly, but there were plenty of tables (including ours) that had no view of the kitchen at all (although we could see the wine room). I believe we were on the lowest level.
We also didn't think the food was as good as it cost. Maybe we ordered badly, but at that price point you shouldn't be able to order badly.
re: Hal Laurent
Could be I was just spoiled by our excellent view. Being on the second tier of seating, our view was completely unobstructed.
I agree with you that a restaurant of Citronelle's caliber (and price) shouldn't serve a bad meal. We were pleased with everything we ate, however.
All that said, I think for this circumstance I would recommend Obelisk over Citronelle anyhow.
re: ries27
We weren't served a bad meal at Citronelle, we just didn't think it was a "wow" meal. For that kind of money I expect "wow".
I'd second Obelisk, which is my favorite restaurant in DC, and one of my favorites in the country. It's tiny, has warm friendly and knowledgeable service, and the food is italian in theme (as noted below) with the finest, generally local ingredients. Imagine something rather like Chez Panisse in Berkeley, but more Italian in focus.
I ate at Citronelle last month and although the food was perfectly fine found it overpriced (and the wine list even more so). It is also much like any high end restaurant anywhere, and not especially unique. Others differ.
If you want a Washington experience, consider the Prime Rib, a very old fashioned lobbyist steak house (coat and tie still required from men). The food is very good--but it's a steak house and you may not want that. On the other hand, you will see the older, establishment Washington at dinner, and you may find that amusing.
Thanks for all the recommendations! I had noticed Citronelle consistently popping up on "Best" lists, but it sounds a little formal for us. Obelisk sounds much more our speed. Nobody has mentioned the Blue Duck Tavern, but it shows up quite a lot in other threads - any thoughts about Obelisk versus Blue Duck Tavern?
re: aching
Blue Duck is really good if you like roast meats, especially things that are a little harder to find: great sweetbreads, bone marrow, goat cheese grits.
I second Central though as being a more casual version of Citronelle. But I haven't been to the new Corduroy, but really enjoyed it in its old location, or Obelisk.
re: aching
I would choose Obelisk over Blue Duck Tavern in a heartbeat. In fact, I'd choose Obelisk over just about any but a handful of restaurants in DC. Every experience we have had at Obelisk has left us feeling like it was absolutely perfect in every way. No other restaurant has achieved that, although CityZen came very close.
re: aching
If you want to go to Citronelle but don't want the formality, go to the upstairs lounge at Citronelle. An abbreviated menu, but no reservations necessary (or taken), no dress code, and a la carte dining. Go for the vichyssoise 2008, the mushroom cigars, tuna napoleon, and the soft shell crab. Dessert is a must here, try the kona souffle and the jolie pomme - and share. You might have to fight. Sauterne by the glass is a bargain.
re: Hal Laurent
I am NOT a fan of Blue Duck Tavern. You can do much better.
How about Kinkaid's (seafood) in Georgetown or Komi, in Dupont?
re: aching
Obelisk is unique; I've never been to Blue Duck (except for a quick breakfast); it looks perfectly good, but it's a hotel restaurant. Obelisk is Peter Pastan's individual idea of an serious but unstuffy Italian restaurant. Understated, friendly but utterly committed to the food. Komi and Palena also I understand have that (Palena I've been to and liked, Komi I have not but all the chatter on the board and what I've heard from friends is that it's worth trying). Still, Obelisk has been around 20 years; I go every three weeks and it remains, to me, the one revelatory restaurant in the city.
Definitely Komi if you can secure a reservation. If not, then Palena. Or Obelisk. If not those, then the bar section at Palena (no reservations). If not that, then Ray's the Steaks just over the bridge.
Other than those, I don't know of anything that's a "can't miss." A lot of stuff I love, but no destination places.
re: MartyL
I would pick Komi too, especially if you're looking for someplace really memorable but not too formal (but it's a little further from your hotel than some of these).
All right, we've got reservations at Obelisk! All they had was 9:30, but that actually works well for people on PCT, and you all convinced me. Thanks again for your recs - I'll report back on our meal!
re: aching
I don't recall seeing anyone wearing a tie when I was there. I was wearing dress pants, dress shoes, and a casual short-sleeve "golf" style shirt and didn't feel out of place. I wouldn't recommend jeans, though.
re: ries27
That's what I thought - thanks!
re: aching
Can't wait to hear your post-meal-post. We absolutely love Obelisk. If you didn't already ask, call back and see if you can get the window table. It's priceless people watching in Dupont.
PS another tip: try NOT to fill up on the delicious antipasti...it's hard though...and the bread...because the pasta course is next and it's the very best of the bunch. If you fill up on the antipasti and pasta, you'll run out of steam half way thru the entree and not be able to enjoy one of the best cheese courses you've ever had!
Thanks to all your recommendations, we had a lovely dinner at Obelisk on Saturday. We ended up not walking, as we were pretty footsore from a day of museum-going, and our reservation was at 9:30. But a quick cab ride from our hotel put us right at the front door. Our table was ready and waiting, which is always nice (and, randomly, seated right next to us was someone S went to college with and hadn't seen in 20 years!).
We placed our order (love the handwritten menu), and the food started flowing. In addition to bread and butter, the first course, antipasti misto, included burrata, heirloom tomatoes in balsamic vinaigrette, a little piece of suckling pig stuffed with something yummy, sardines with carmelized onions, and fried squash blossoms. It all was delicious, but the heirloom tomatoes really stood out - and we're from California, where we can get good tomatoes all the time. These ones, though, were heavenly, especially paried with a bit of burrata.
For the primi course, I had eggplant ravioli with pine nuts and S had chicken raviolini in a broth with a poached egg. We both preferred mine, although his certainly was good (and probably would have tasted even better on a cold day). For the secondi, I had a white fish (can't quite remember what kind) with a stuffed artichoke and roasted peppers, while S had a pork chop served on a bed of white beans. Again, though both were good, I think mine was better.
Then came the cheese: a parmigiano reggiano, a soft goat cheese, and a taleggio, with a green tomato chutney. They were all delectable, but I wish I had had more of an appetite at that point! (I am such a wimp with these prix fixe menus!) We shared our dessert - a cocoa nib panna cotta with a crispy chocolate cookie on the side. This panna cotta - I can't really describe how amazing it was! It was a pale brown color, so I just wasn't prepared for the incredibly deep, intense chocolate flavor - insanely good! And we wrapped up with some little treats - toffee, mint jelly, and biscotti.
It really was lovely. Thanks again for the recs, DC Hounds!
re: aching
So glad you liked it. Remember i told you don't fill up on the Antipasti? Now you know why! We ended up taking our cheese home last time and ate it the next day. They always do a marvelous job w/ fish there...it's always the best choice. i have had that panna cotta before and now i'm drooling...:)
Were you able to snag the window table??
I'd go to Central (unless you are looking for somethng fancy). I love the food there, it's a cool atmosphere, and it won't break the bank. The other reason I like to recommend this to visitors is that it is only a couple blocks from the Hotel Washington. The terrace at the top of the hotel has a terrific view of the monuments and White House at night, if that kind of thing interests you - good place to buy a basic drink before dinner (it's not a good place in terms of quality but the view is worth a drink).
Also, love Komi and you can walk to Dupont Circle from there.
re: baconjen
the rooftop is closed..they are turning hotel wash into a W hotel and reportedly enclosing the terrace. Which sucks...best place to view the city is now no more...
re: DCDOLL
Thanks for the update...I'm pretty bummed about this.

Cavs Fans: It Can Happen
June 13th, 2007 by Tim Daloisio
With another postseason series sitting at 3-0, this time the Cleveland Cavaliers down to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA finals, it's time for the trailing team and their fans to call upon the ghosts of the 2004 Red Sox for inspiration.
"The Boston Red Sox were down 3-0 to the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS before rallying to win that series. I guess if they can do it, we ought to have some faint glimmer of hope for the Cavs."
Is it just me or does every time a series gets to this point, especially after the 19-8 whooping the Red Sox received in Game Three, further illuminate how incredible those four games were.
My advice to Cleveland fans, hope your team is down by five points heading into the last two minutes of the game only to see Lebron James win it with a three pointer and send the series to Game Four. Like Dave Roberts' steal and David Ortiz' home run, a Lebron buzzer beater is the type of first step that could turn the tide.

[…] - There is only one group of fans out there that still believes the Cleveland Cavaliers can come back and win four straight to take the NBA Finals away from the Spurs. That group of fans is not from Cleveland. […]

Nokia's phone business belongs to Microsoft now, so it's made an affordable 7.9-inch tablet with Android Lollipop and a high-res screen.
Pricing not available

The new iGuard mobile surveillance application makes a security system's current CCTV hardware and software infrastructure remotely accessible to all personnel. The result of a partnership between Feeling Software of Montreal, and Genetec of Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada, the system takes advantage of the wireless connectivity and intuitive touchscreen interface of the iPod Touch and iPhone. A security officer can rapidly scan through all camera locations, select a specific live camera feed, and move and zoom the camera in real time to capture a desired image. Using a slider control allows the user to watch recorded footage. The system is designed to work with Genetec's Omnicast IP Video Surveillance System.

Does anyone else use a Terrastation Pro for backup?
I have one sat in my office backing up a file server then I attach a external USB each friday and do a backup to the USB drive.
Man its slow, think its been running over 24 hours now and its only done 180Gb which is alot slower than usual, it does usually take a couple of days but this isn't going to finish.
I know there was an article in PC Pro about how poor the performance is on these boxes with regard to USB but this is ridiculous.. and having to power it down to connect a USB is pants also.
Think I will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a diskless Terra III and swap the drives over.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Agios Ioannis - Villa Theodora
3 bedrooms, bathroom/toilet, sleeps 7, private pool, child-friendly
Ancient village house extensively enlarged, preserving old-world charm whilst incorporating modern amenities and comfort. Good-sized pool and patio with barbecues set in beautiful secluded child-friendly private garden. Spacious lounge and large well-equipped kitchen are a feature. There is central heating and air-conditioning. Private parking. Well-furnished with TV, Audio, DVD, library, washing-machine, and many extras. Fire-extinguishers and smoke alarms included.
Our location in the centre of the island means that such activities as are not available on site are within easy reach, either a stroll, a short drive or bus-journey away. A main cross-island road, with bus-stops, passes only 100 m from the villa.
Paul, Lula and Lionel, who manage the villa, live nearby, on call 24 hours every day, but we do not intrude upon our guests' privacy, wait to be approached.
Just as close is a taverna serving inexpensive delicious meals.
Corfu Town: This fascinating town is a product of centuries of influence by various cultures, Ancient Greek, Roman, Angevin, Byzantine, Venetian, French, British &, last but not least, modern Greek. Our villa is six miles from this cornucopia of history. Walk amongst faded Venetian edifices, haggle in the Jewish quarter, climb the massive fortifications, stroll along the French elegance of the Liston whilst watching a cricket match on the green, a heritage of the British. Barge through the crowded modern market or admire one of the many beautiful ornate churches. At night the ethnic disco strip is a must for party-goers and the shimmering lights of a hundred restaurants draw you in. Corfiots are justifiably proud of their catering. Food is prepared and cooked on the premises using only organic produce; no G-M junk here! There is virtually no crime on the island; the very old and very young wander around in safety at any hour of day or night.
Beaches and Countryside: Despite Corfu being a well-known and popular destination, there are still many quiet and unspoilt beaches awaiting the discerning visitor. Some of these are accessible more easily by boat, a splendid way to build up an enormous appetite before disembarking for a private picnic or lunch at family-run tavernas serving excellent Greek fare, including wine, at reasonable prices. For the adventurous there are caves to explore.
Beaches are extremely varied, some offering water-sports including windsurfing, hang-gliding, scuba diving, fishing, water skiing, banana boats, jet-skis etc., others safe bathing for little ones, yet others fiercer elements.
Hire a car; we can arrange that. Stop in a mountain village to admire the spectacular scenery whilst sampling the delicacies of the local taverna including their vintage.
Our villa is right in the centre of the island. All facilities are within easy walking distance or only a short drive or bus-journey away.
Guest Book: We welcome you to write what you will in our guest-book. These comments remain unedited for all to read. We think they provide the best testimony for you to add yourself to our list of friends. Excerpts from this book are available on request. One of the things most pleasing is the large percentage of guests who return, in some cases annually. Nobody has ever left us with a scowling face. We have even needed upon occasion to 'burgle' our own property in order to extricate a child who has locked himself/herself in, trying to avoid going home at the end of their holiday!
First-time guests arrive as strangers, depart as friends. Lula, Paul and Lionel live nearby and are on call 24 hours of the day, but we respect your privacy and wait to be approached. The village was the destination of the first back-packers who 'discovered' Corfu thirty years ago. It has extended a hearty welcome to visitors ever since, often greeting 'veterans' from those early days.
Details for holiday villa Villa Theodora, 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 7, 2 Bathrooms
- Suitability:
- Events Allowed
- Groups
- Long-term Renters Welcome

Archive for the 'Completed tops' Category
Being adaptable is important in quilting. For this quilt, I chose a border and then pieced the blocks using colors from the border but when I was done, the border didn't work. I had several options that I could have chosen but I found these orange and blue/green fabrics in the stash and decided to use them. If I hadn't had anything else, I would have pieced a piano key border from leftover strips.
Binding is also in progress for the last of the Heartstrings donation quilts. Of course, that doesn't count the ones just received this week!
Today's accomplishment
I've been sewing a bit on this top as I bound the other quilts but today I decided it was time to finally finish it up. These were the blocks I made during our last HeartStrings sew along.
I don't usually use 2.5 inch strips for my HeartStrings tops but since I'm making quilts in 2014 with 2.5 inch strips and since I wanted to make one similar to one Ann brought to Maine last year, I decided to go with it. I have a bin of random 2.5 inch strips and these blocks were made from those strips so I didn't have to do any cutting except for the center strip which was cut 2 inches and the corner triangles which I cut with my 4.5 inch half square triangle die.
Just in time… I'm doing laundry, running errands, packing, and finishing up this HeartStrings top.
I'm also going to cast on a hurricane hat using this pretty red/purple yarn. If it turns out OK, it will be for my sister.
I finished the assembly of this HeartStrings top I started yesterday at the sew-in. Blocks were pieced by AnnG.
I always press these seams open to decrease the bulk from the foundation and encourage everyone assembling our HeartStrings blocks to do the same. It takes more time but the top lies much flatter and is easier for the volunteers to quilt.
I also finished piecing my Black/White/Blue HeartStrings blocks and they're ready to assemble.
More of the same going on around here.
Chris, Becky, and Rae came for the day. Rae loves the pool.
With company coming and going I needed some quick easy sewing rather than something I needed to lay out so I cut and sewed another Quick Strippie.
Keith and I ended the day with a quiet evening listening to music and more progress was made on my Camp Loopy Project 3 shawl.
Another Quick Strippie
I had some time this afternoon and evening and decided to cut out and piece another Quick Strippie.
I also soaked and then pinned my Vortex shawl. I finished knitting this the end of April but didn't have anywhere at home that I could block it. I'm using the guest bed since I won't need it until this weekend.
This is as far as I will get on a UFO for July. The sashed 9 patch top is done. Brief cutting instructions are on my website

Rise Above This Lyrics - Seether
Review The Song (13)
Take the light and darken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely I'm lost without you
Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right but I'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name everyday when I seem so helpless
I'm fallen down, and I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feeling helpless
I'm falling down, and I'll rise above this,
Rise above this,
Rise above this,
Rise above this doubt.

rising above your demons | Reviewer: cj | 8/29/11
this song reminds me of a time when i was severlry depressed and full of rage, no one wanted to be around me because i was so mean, so i was all alone for a very long time. but then one day i asked god to help me with my demons and i rose above all the doubt, suicide, and anger that held me down, that was almost three years ago and i still remember it like it was yesterday. im just so glad i had such a loving girlfriend and family to support me when i needed it the most, god bless.
Beautiful. | Reviewer: Paige | 5/17/10
This song is soooo beautiful. It reminds me of my dad, who passed away about five years ago. I tear up almost everytime I listen to this song, and that's about everyday. It's a beautiful way to honor somebody who's passed on, even if this was writen before his brother's suicide. He still dedicates this song to his brother, and I always dedicate this song to my father when ever I play it at shows that I'm supplying music for.
R.I.P. Del G. DePenning :)
Amazing amazing song! | Reviewer: Vane | 9/6/09
this has got to be one of my favorite songs...ever. If im ever feeling on the downside this song helps me get rid of that, everything about this song touches a piece of my heart. Seether is an amazing band, Shaun has a wonderful voice and is an awesome dude, i got to meet him when he was on tour with Nickelback. Can't wait till their next album. Every song they create has a wonderful/positive meaning.
Accuracy | Reviewer: brian | 5/18/09
Moving song ...absolutely ...but it was written about his brother BEFORE his suicide...see the Seether website: "The most evident example comes with "Rise Above This," an enduring song Morgan wrote about his brother Eugene in advance of his tragic death this past August."
Amazing... | Reviewer: Matt | 4/18/09
This is just one of those songs that just relates to you no matter who you are
whenever i'm depressed or just sad i pop this song on and it always makes me feel stronger and happier
people really do "Rise above" problems with this song
i love Seether and Shaun has got such an amazing voice
most hearing this sound this day.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/2/09
i had this song for a few month, but i didnt hear it lot. and nowdays i play this track over and over..i think for almost thousand times. XP
this song remind me of a time when im hopeless, down, and desperate in one of my most important moment in my life(think that is 2-3 month ago).
then......some one came and "help" me rise from my sorrow till i can pass that moment compltly..... and nowdays i feel much-much better. (still hearin' this song when im wrote this) ~XP

I love this song! It reminds me of how when I'm sad I call my boyfriend's name (mostly cuz I miss him way too much)! It also reminds me of how I call upon God's name in prayer! Luv this song!

Wow. | Reviewer: Katie | 7/8/08
I love how this song can pertain to everyone.
Even if they haven't lost a loved one. It's a song that enilightens the dark. And I know that I can relate to it. I think he means that even though life is hard, he can rise above it and survive. And I wanted to say that he has my undying support. I wish him well, and I'm very sorry for the loss of his brother.

this song is beautiful
you know, alot of people think he sold out because these songs aren't as negative
well those people don't have hearts
and they need to pay more attention to what really matters in music, the meaning
love this song
