Comment on Amish in Missouri by The Grape Arbor Country Store.
My husband and I have lived in the Clark, MO Amish community for 18 years and we have developed many friendships with our neighbors. For the two years I have been taking photos of the beautiful area we live in, and this summer I made a full color calendar with a new photo each month. The printer just finished with the calendars this week and they are neat! Amish holidays are printed in red so you know what days the businesses are closed. Dates for the Clark Produce Auctions are printed in green. Advertising info for several Amish businesses is included. Best forecasted fishing days are also marked. You may purchase these calendars at our store, The Grape Arbor, LLC where we also sell souvenirs, gourmet candy & cookies, pumpkin butter. They are $7.00 if you pick them up or $10 by mail. If you are interested, send your name, address, and payment to: The Grape Arbor 1083 CR 2796 Clark, MO 65243. For a limited time, a free map of stores in the Clark Amish Community will be included with each order!

Tall order: 1st time ever in USA, what do I HAVE to taste?
I realize this is a huge question, but I am coming over for the 1st time ever in November. We are staying at Lake Worth and hiring a car. So -
*What are the foods I HAVE to taste while in Florida??*
We love our food (obviously!).
I dream of tasting lobster and stone crab for the 1st time, also hopefully lots of other seafood.
I like burgers, french fries and fast food in general (should I hang my head in shame now?). Beef if well done. I love pork when it is extremely tender, maybe with crispy bits. So, ribs will be one thing to try?
Also, I like chicken and wings with spicy sauce.
I like spicy foods, Indian and tex-mex (well, what do I know, I´ve only tried it here in Finland!) and anything barbecued.
And, ha! As I am a woman I luurve chocolate and biscuits, candy & pastries.
So, here´s a challenge - I have two weeks, an once-in-a-lifetime trip, and really really want to enjoy my food.
Which dishes to try?
Dear Annesurfs,
Welcome to the United States! You are going to be on the East Coast of Florida and I am a West Coast guy, so I will leave most of the recommendations to my fellow Chowhounders from the East Coast. However, for stone crabs, you must try Joe's Stone Crab, 11 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach 33139. Telephone: 1-(305)-673-0365. Note that you only have to dial the 673-0365 if you are in the Miami area when you call.
These crabs are outstanding, although messy to eat and, despite being precracked, require some work to eat. However, I think that overall, you will be very pleased. Note that this is a landmark place, so reservations are adviseable.
re: gfr1111
Joes does not take reservations
OP: you need to say where you are going to be in florida. I hope you have a nice trip here.
re: tpigeon
I think the OP says Lake Worth
re: Icantread
I guess we should switch monickers :)
re: tpigeon
You see? That's what happens when a West Coast guy tries to advise you. Sorry, Annesurfs, but it's still a good place to go, even if they don't take reservations!
re: gfr1111
Joes is great but expect huge wait unless you go for lunch or early dinner. Also, you do have to dial the area code 305 when in Miami.
re: gfr1111
sorry, coming in late on this thread...I noticed the Joe's reccomendation, and I heartily endorse it. However should you not be able to get down to south beach, there is a place in Boca called "Monte's" who also serves a really good stone crap. They're also a little less dear in the $$$ department. I don't know where you are coming from, but if Sushi is not popular where you are from, there are many great Sushi places. Also.. Cuban food is a MUST! At least a Cubano sandwitch and a cup of cuban coffee. Have a great time in our country. eat, see, enjoy and have fun!!
re: RichieT
If you are talking about the Monte's Stone Crab that was on Executive Drive, they closed several years ago. It is now Season's 52.
re: Alfred G
OOPS! Sorry about the old information but Monte's was great anytime I went there, and it sure did not seem like several years!!.....there must be other places within an easy distance to where they're going to be, in case they're unable to get down to south beach...
You need key lime pie...and lots of it! You might enjoy some conch chowder (kinda spicy), fried conch or conch fritters (you should be able to find them in Florida). If you like both burgers and seafood, you'd probably love a fried grouper sandwich. Stone crab for sure...but only if it hasn't been frozen. Barbecued baby back ribs (preferably with a side of onion rings). Be sure to dig into a big American breakfast...maybe some eggs benedict and homefries...washed down with a mimosa, of course!
from Lake Worth go to Atlantic Ave in Delray Beach (about 15 mins south) and for wings try Bru's room just off the Avenue.
Cuban food can be great, Key Lime pie is good, don't forget Jewish delis - plenty of them in south Fl for huge portions and sandwiches.
have fun, - don't bother with Indian in this area, it's awful here.
re: smartie
Thank you guys!!
Yes, we´ll be staying at Lake Worth, but will be happy to drive ~1 - 2 hours for a great meal. Easily.
So, my list so far:
1. Joe´s for stone crabs
2. Barbecued ribs
3. Key lime pie
4. Wings
5. Conch, as chowder and / or fried
6. Fried grouper burger
7. American breakfast...mm..maybe in a traditional diner??
Is grouper a fish or, as I think from the message, some kind of seafood?
I do not need Indian food while over there, I just told you that to give some idea of what kind of food I like. Eh..spicy, crunchy, greasy... sounds bad doesn´t it...Well I DO cook a lot of spicy vegetarian also, and I do enjoy fresh fruit hugely! I´d also love to buy lots of different flavoursome tomatoes and eat them just like that.
BTW one dream is to visit a citrus grove and eat a sun-warmed orange or such...I have already saved some addresses.
Also, I need to taste some fresh pecan-chocolate pie or such.
An off-topic question, I understand you always tip at least 15 % in restaurants. But, I have read you do not have to tip at a takeaway like Joe´s takeaway, is this true? (Even though I read they have some tables there, too?) The whole tipping thing is new to me, but I am of course most willing to do the right thing!
What would Jewish delis offer, sounds interesting?
I have only ever tasted fresh oysters, prawn (or shrimp?) and crayfish, which I love. So, I expect I´ll love stone crab, too, right?
I´d love to have at least 10 foods on my "must" list, even more, if you come up with more "musts"!
THANK YOU I really appreciate your advice!!
re: annesurfs
Grouper is a fish. Make sure you get REAL grouper, as this is the most faked fish in Florida.
Pecan pie? That's more of a Georgia thing. You see, even though we're further south, you need to go north from here to get to "The South." Stick with seafood and citrus.
Seafood around here means crab claws (in season right now), scallops, and shrimp. Lobster and crab legs are not from around here; they're northern waters.
Citrus is falling off the trees in neighborhoods all around you. Drive down an ally, and pick an overhanging tree. Nothing tastes or smells like fresh off the tree. BTW, the supermarkets still sell California oranges, so you can pass on those if you want fresh. Florida oranges, the juice oranges, are a little past prime right now. Valencias and navels aren't quite ripe yet, but they're OK.
If you can find starfruit, kumquat, or loquat (Japanese Plum) tree, you're in for a treat. They're easy to find, if you're know what they look like.
Where in Florida are you going?
re: streetman
I will stay in Lake Worth, will visit Sansibel island, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, etc!
That was a good tip re- crab claws vs crab legs!
I thought Florida or spiny lobster would be local?
So...no chance of "soul food" in Florida, eithe
You really think I can just pick an orange / citrus like that, they are everywhere? WOW! :o0?
re: annesurfs
Doc Fords in sanibel was the best place we ate there last year oct.....and we tried about 6 other places
too bad Nov. is too early for plant city strawberrys
Pine Island close to Sanibel has wonderful tropical fruit...like mangos but nov might be too late
Sanibel is wonderful....enjoy
re: o.lynne
Another vote for Doc Fords, both the restaurant & books by Randy Wayne White!
re: annesurfs
Sanibel is great for a visit with some cute restaurants. However I was not really wowed by any of the restaurants there. That being said, if you are going there you of course will need to eat. Gramma Dots has some good, fresh seafood that is simply prepared and is one of the few places that has a water view - albeit docks, but water nonetheless!
re: annesurfs
When I think of South Florida, I think of a cross-section of Latin America - Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Central America, South America, plus Haiti - unlike anything else in the United States. I always look forward to visiting Miami because I can experience another world without the expense or hassle of international travel!
However, if you want to try "soul food", you should be able to find it in the Miami area. It just won't be as prevalent as it is in the Southeastern US (Jacksonville, FL to Washington, DC and west to the Mississippi River). You may need to venture into African-American neighborhoods that can be dangerous - go at lunchtime when the troublemakers are still sleeping off the night before and keep your wits about you like in Naples (Italy, not Florida!) or the outer districts of Paris. But it's worth the effort to eat real Southern American fried chicken, pork ribs, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, corn bread...
I live about 1500 KM north of Miami, so I don't have any specific recommendations, but maybe someone local can help with that!
Good luck!
re: streetman
Other Florida seafood- Apalachicola bay oysters, warmer water fish like red snapper, mahi-mahi (aka dolphinfish), pompano, cobia, amberjack.
Alligator occasionally shows up on some menus as a novelty. Can't say I'm overfond of it because so very few cooks get it right, but if you see it, might as well try it once.
re: annesurfs
Re: Jewish Deli...Pastrami on Rye Bread Sandwich, potato pancakes, chopped chicken liver, sour pickle & rugalah for desert. He's going to Miami, so someone down there must know a good Jewish Deli to send him to, right?
re: cavandre
"She"..Annesurfs = Anne = "she" ;O)
Thwe Jewish deli food sounds like something from a movie to me, yes SURE I´ll have to try it!
8. Anything and everything from a Jewish deli!
re: annesurfs
there are Jewish Delis all the way from Boynton Beach south to Delray, Boca, Ft Lauderdale and Miami. In Delray there is Poppies, 3G's, Boynton and Boca have Flakeowitz, also Boca has Toojays.
re: smartie
Thanks Smartie! I have saved your tips.
re: smartie
Let's not forget Ben's Deli in Boca Raton. Very, very good.
Ben's Kosher Delicatessen
9942 Clint Moore Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33496
re: annesurfs
"I have only ever tasted fresh oysters, prawn (or shrimp?) and crayfish, which I love. So, I expect I´ll love stone crab, too, right?"
Not necessairly, to some people they are completely tasteless. The only way to find out is to try them yourself. You get them with mustard. Far superior than butter.
If you end up at Joes, you should try the key lime there too. As far as crab claw size goes, get the selects.
re: tpigeon
Hi anne, I have lived in Lake Worth for 25 years. Welcome. Our downtown is wonderful. Many fine restaurants. But may I suggest if you are looking for something that you may not have tried, go about 3 miles south to www.myhurricanealley.com , Try the raw oysters and the softshell crab sandwich. This is not a fancy place. I go for the great food. Shorts and t-shirt will suffice. Looks like you got here in time for a beautiful week of great weather, have fun.
re: HotMelly
I am not a fine dining kind of person at all, somehow I always feel as if I am not fine enough myself...
And, yes, the food matter the most, not the white linens (which I always fear I´ll spill on) or the multiple silverware.
Also, I´m not rich, so need to find inexpensive places to eat, mostly...but I will certainly have to splurge a couple of times and try e.g. Joe´s crabs, as it may be the only chance ever for me!
Not sure about Florida, but it's crawfish season in Louisiana. Fresh boiled are going for $2.99 a pound. Some places now offering an all-you-can-eat dinner with boiled corn and potatoes for $12.99.
All these suggestions sound great, but it seems many have missed the fact that the original poster is arriving in November. That would make a huge difference, from now, for local produce, some seafood, local festivals, and the weather! Many ideas will still work then, of course, but would hate to get her hopes up with out-of-season opportunities.
re: Alfred G
Station House Restaurant
233 W Lantana Rd, Lantana, FL
I live in Lake Worth. Try Sara's Kitchen in Lantana at 210 E. Ocean Avenue for breakfast. 561-540-2822. Great thick challah french toast.
For casual dining, try the Rum Shack at 606 Lake Avenue in downtown Lake Worth - 561-588-2929. They serve a good fish sandwich and have a great happy hour.
Dolce de Palma is one of my favorite spots for lunch. The lunch specials are a little pricey, but they are delicious. You can also get a panini. It is at 1000 Old Okeechobee Rd in West Palm Beach. www.dolcedepalma.com
If you like bakeries, try the Palm Beach bakery, a Finnish bakery with hearty breads and delicious danish. It is located at 206 E. Ocean Ave. in Lantana.
I agree that the Station House and Hurricane Alley would be good choices.
Most of the larger shopping malls have a store called Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, since you love chocolate. They have the best chocolate and caramel/chocolate covered Granny Smith apples you have ever tasted. You will need someone to split it with. We usually get a knife and cut it into multiple pieces. If you like sweet and savory together then try the chocolate covered potato chips...to die for!!
Cuban food while in Miami of course! I recommend Versailles on 8th street for a uniquely Miami experience. Ask anyone they will direct you. Joe's is good, but not outstanding. For a great upscale meal go to Flemings in Coral Gables (steaks, excellent lamb chops, to-die-for sea bass special) just about anything you order will be excellent though pricey.
When in Sanibel, go to the neighboring Island (Captiva) to the Mucky Duck to catch the sunset and a great view of the sunset.
Across the Bay from Sanibel is the Dixie Fish Company in Fort Myers or
The Snook Inn on Marco Island which is about 1 hour south of Sanibel.
On the East Coast, RIggins in always great food.
You should also try:
Two Georges in Boynton Beach, two towns south of Lake Worth.
I am not sure but i think nobody has recommended bar-b -que I think if you go to Fort Lauderdale ernies might give you a new look on the states and the food you can get seafood up and down the coast but every state has BBQ
November is the very beginning of the citrus harvest. This link shows what varieties will be ripe and seems to have links to farms:
Most people don't realize that Florida has Amish farms. There are a number of Amish restaurants around Sarasota/Bradenton on the Gulf coast. They serve very good traditional farm/home cooking and wonderful pies. This link shows a number of them:
With the anniversary of the moon landing I thought Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales might be of interest to you. Their soup traveled on many Apollo flights!
There is a lot of area to cover in Florida! Try to squeeze in a visit to the Gulf coast and have a seafood dinner on the water at sunset - the sunsets are spectacular! And so is the seafood!
I was enjoying reading down through this and was surprised that no one mentioned boiled peanuts, until the last poster. Buy hot, boiled peanuts at a stand at the side of the road and consume them immediately in the car - you will need napkins! As you are driving, keep your eye peeled for a "HOT BOILED PEANUTS" sign and veer off the road with tires squealing if you see one!! If this treat is available anywhere else in the US besides Florida, I don't know where it is.
re: woodleyparkhound
Definitely a regional treat! They are found pretty much in all the peanut producing areas of the SE USA. I've found them in 6 states so far!
When in Florida, especially in South Florida, you must try Spanish food! Try deviled crab, cuban sandwich, ropa vieja, plantains, yellow rice and black beans. You should be able to find all of this near Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. I live in Tampa, FL so I can't recommend specific restaurants, but you should be able to find some with research. I highly recommend you look at TripAdvisor.com to read reviews from real people. Have a great trip!!
re: awood2120
What you're describing seems to be mostly Cuban food rather than Spanish food - as to which there's plenty of commentary from real people on this board as well.
re: Veggo
Hi all,
less than 4 weeks to go, and I´ll be THERE!
I am typing all the great advice up - well copy & pasting rather - I will take a self-made restaurant recommendations booklet with me!
Would especially appreciate even more restaurant recs around Lake Worth area (and Ft Lauderdale) - BBQ and seafood preferably!
An acquaintance told me you gain 10 lbs as soon as your feet touch USA ground, and I am almost ready to believe her! ;O)
THANK YOU ALL, I will be happy to report afterwards which foods I liked, which ones I loved and which ones I will crave for ever more!
re: annesurfs
Please do report back, and may I add Shrimp with grits to your list.
re: annesurfs
You might also look into a good mexican place. We have several of them here in central florida. They are a recent addition here within the last 10 years. When i came to florida in 89 there were no mexican places. Thanks to florida agriculture migrant workers began comming here from mexico to pic oranges. A few of them stayed and opened resturants. Thank GOD!! Just make sure what ever place you choose is owned by a mexican family and don't go to any chains unless it is El potro. The only real mexican chain in florida.
re: mountdorahound
For BBQ, I've always enjoyed Tom Jenkins on US 1 in Ft Lauderdale.. Great baby back ribs, pulled pork sides and sauce. Not cheap but portions are pretty large. Be prepared to wait as it is very popular and food is cooked to order.
re: annesurfs
Riggins for garlic crabs! Get the combo 1/2 garlic 1/2 Maryland style. Just be sure you have plenty of time. They can take a lot of time to eat if you do it right.
Hi Anne,
You have received many good recommendations, so I will only add a few more. I am in Fort Lauderdale which is at most 1 hour south of Lake Worth. Here are my suggestions:
1. Stone Crabs - Catfish Dewey's for All You Can Eat Stone Crabs ($40) - www.catfishdeweys.com
2. Garlic Crabs - Rustic Inn Crab House - http://www.rusticinn.com/
3. Cuban Food - La Carretta
4. Mexican Food - Dona Raquela (very small taquera
5. Key Lime Pie - Any fruit stand on the side of the road. Really. Pick up some oranges and grapefruit there too.
I hope you have a wonderful trip and go home with only good memories.
Catfish Deweys
4003 N Andrews Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309
re: ldkelley
I wonder if you could give me advice on where to find a good buffet / all you can eat - not because I plan to stuff myself (yeah right, not!), but because that would be a great way of testing the waters....just tasting a bit of everything!
Or are buffets / AYCES worth it, in your opinion?
Anne (less than 3 weeks to go!)
re: annesurfs
This isn't the greatest place to eat, but on the AYCE buffet at the Golden Corral in I think it's Royal Palm on Okeechobee, they have really good deep fried chicken liver.
re: annesurfs
Most AYCES are about quantity, not quality. Food tends to be mass produced and not the greatest quality.
Sometimes this is not the case. There are occasionally some very nice AYCE brunch buffets, but you will be paying a hefty fee. A good example of this is Oystercatchers in Tampa at $45/adult.
If your visit is over Thanksgiving (Thursday Nov. 26th this year), that would be a nice occasion to try a holiday buffet at a nice place.
re: meatn3
Hi, we are coming over 30th Nov!
Ok, another question, maybe OTT?
Which foods / confections/ foodstuffs do I HAVE to buy and haul back to Finland with me??
I read about almond butter, mmmmm.....But, really, all suggestions gratefully received?
re: annesurfs
If you poke around the general boards, you can find a number of threads on foods Americans mail to ex-pat friends. Nestle or better quality chocolate chips seem to come up regularly in those discussions. (convert the cookie recipe on the back of the bag to metric as appropriate)
I'd also go for mexican/tex-mex shelf-stable products and spices. Any large grocery here will have a good number of those options at a reasonable price.
re: annesurfs
You will miss Thanksgiving.
Florida specialties to bring back include the Chalet Suzanne Romaine soup (canned, available in some grocery stores) which was brought on some Apollo space flights - makes for an unique gift. Try to find hot sauce or other products made with Datil peppers - they are traditional to St. Augustine. There are often unusual citrus based marmalades to be found.
A good natural foods/health food store will have almond butter and other varieties of nut butters.
Have a great visit!
re: annesurfs
Hi Anne,
A couple of thoughts (hopefully you're still following the thread):
In the US resteraunts generally fall into two styles, those where you order at a counter, and then wait there and pick up your food (most fast food places), and those where you sit at a table, and a waitress takes your order and brings your food. Unlike Europe or the UK, you don't get many where you order at a counter, then go to a table and someone brings your food out to you.
At places where you get your food at the counter, you usually don't tip. Sometimes there will be a bowl at the register marked "thanks", and you can leave a dollar, but most people won't. Same goes for takeout (carryout).
If there's table service (a waitress), you are expected to tip. 15% of the bill is considered the minimum. 20% or more is appropriate if the service was good. Bear in mind that US diners tend to expect better service than Europeans do (at least at lesser places - everyone expects excellent service at the high cost places). In the US, most of a waitress's income is from tips, so generosity is appreciated. You can not tip, or short tip, if service was bad, but that is considered a fairly drastic sign of dissatisfaction, so only do so if service was particularly poor (in better places, a manager will ask you what went wrong if you don't tip, expect that).
In US restraunts, sometimes you pay the waitress, and sometimes you're expected to pay at a register - you can ask the waitress "do I pay you or at the register". If you are paying cash, you should leave the tip on the table if you pay at the register - it's OK to go to the register and pay, and then back to the table if you need to get small bills (it's polite, if there's more than one in your party, for the remainder to stay at the table while you pay, if you're coming back with the tip). If you pay with credit card, you can put the tip amount on the charge slip - in this case, the cashier will see that it's transferred to the waitress.
In some resteraunts you are expected to choose your own table, in others a hostess will guide you to a table. Usually there'll be a little sign ("wait here to be seated" or "seat yourself"), if not assume that there's a hostess until someone tells you to seat yourself (which will often be by saying "anywhere").
There are three categories in the US as far as alcoholic beverages are concerned: some places will have a bar attached, and will serve whatever you want. Some will only be licensed for beer and wine. And some will not serve any alcohol, so if that makes a difference to you, ask first.
Almost invariably you'll be given a glass of water. You can (and are expected to) order another beverage if you don't want water. If it's breakfast time, there may be a coffee cup upside down on the table, turning it right side up means you want coffee (if you want tea, leave it upside down until you can tell the waitress what you want). Whatever the beverage is (except for alcoholic ones) the waitress should refill the glass/cup when it gets low (but not before then - some waitresses can get annoying by perpetually fussing with the glasses). You don't pay for the refills as a rule.
US portions are often huge, enough for two meals. It's common to only eat part of the meal, and take the remainder home to eat later. If you want to do that, you should ask the waitress for a "box" (the phrase "doggy bag" is old fashioned), which will be a styrofoam container. The waitress may ask if you want a box if it looks like you're done and there's food left. In some places, the waitress will take the plate, and bring back the food already in the box; in others they will bring the box out, and you can put what you want to save in yourself.
If I remember any of the other things which confused/astounded my UK relatives, I'll post them.
re: true360north
Hi John,
thank you for your long and excellent reply!!
LOTS of points I did not know!
The tipping will be the most challenging thing to get right. I do not want to be tight, it is just so odd because in Finland, service is automatically added to your bill. The waitresses are paid well over 10 $ per hour. So, tipping is really optional, and people may just leave their change, or nothing. I want to get it right, and I need to remember this is how they pay their bills!! I have lots of 1$ and 5 $ notes with me so I can get started right! :O)
I did not know refills are usually free, that´s great, especially as I think Florida will feel REALLY hot to me!
I will follow this thread until Sunday, we will leave to the airport Sunday night. I am so excited!
Man I really hope it does not turn out I am allergic to some seafood, how would I know as I have never even heard about snow crab etc before?? Probably not though.
I plan to taste rock shrimp, spiny lobster is possible, snow crab, etc etc etc! Lots of shrimps, cooked in different ways. BBQ, Cuban....
Did I mention I have typed 10 pages of tips, hints and pieces of advice? Restaurants offering great food + good value, tips on tipping, places to visit...
Oh wow this will be the greatest trip I´ve ever made!
I guess I will gain weight, a friend told me you gain 10 lbs as soon as your feet touch USA ground ;O)
THANK YOU and I´ll be here, taking down great pieces of advice, until Sunday!
:O) 'Anne
re: annesurfs
Stone Crabs! I see a lot of seafood on your list and stone crabs are mostly a south florida delicacy, Maybe it's because I can't get them where I live and I gorge on them when I'm in FL but stone crabs are way up there in taste. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite between dungenesse, fresh-out-of-the-water maryland blue crab, and stone crab.
re: annesurfs
If you want to combine AYCE and Cuban cuisine you should try one of the Padrino's restaurants. There are a few, (Boca,Hallandale and Plantation) For less then $10 at lunch you get a very good sample of tasty Cuban food.
re: stuartlafonda
THANK YOU! Very happy! I´d like to taste lots of things, so a buffet / AYCE is a great idea for that. Also, we want to eat a good lunch and less in the evening. I do not think we´ll go and dine out at all.
I saved the Padrino´s info...no-one had suggested that I think? And the price is just GREAT for our budget!
re: annesurfs
On the subject of budgeting-
Florida has a great many "Early Bird Specials". These are usually specific dinner deals offered a little earlier (ex: 5-6pm) and often are smaller sized portions. They started as a way to get retired folks out for dinner and to fill the slower part of the restaurants dinner service. They can be a good value.
There are also many "happy hour" specials in Fl. that often include food - usually appetizer items with alcoholic drinks. The timing is generally to catch the after work folks, so 4 or 5 - 6 or 7. Again, there can be some good deals.
Hotels often have racks of travel literature in the front lobby. Many times there are good coupons for dining and other activities. You can sometimes find a rack of business card sized advertisements. This type can have some great dining coupons.
Have a great time!
re: GroovinGourmet
speaking for myself and my fellow Floridians I hope you had a good visit and good meals
I came across this thread again, and I was wondering how your trip went if you check back!

Candia Road Convenience store in Manchester robbed
Police said the woman, described as white, in her mid 20s, 5 feet, 6 inches tall with a thin build and blond hair, demanded money from a clerk about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday after she "motioned as if to have a weapon in the pocket of her sweatshirt." She did not actually show a weapon, police said.
She left the store with an undetermined amount of cash and left in a small blue car. There were no customers in the store at the time and nobody was injured, police said.
Police could not say Tuesday night if the Candia Road robbery was connected to previous robberies, also committed by a similarly described woman, in Manchester and Derry.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711 or anonymously at 624-4040 or manchestercrimeline.org.

main index
player class" family tree is a large, branching kudzu with enough arms to print several dozen sourcebooks. One such branch is The Red Mage, a magician capable of casting spells from two different or even mutually exclusive schools of magic. Much like a magical Jack of All Stats, this cousin to the Magic Knight fuses two otherwise inimical capabilities and gains strength from both... while mastering neither, and perhaps even gaining both their weaknesses! Theatrics and balance issues aside, the true wonder and claim to fame of the Red Mage is that they are talented, open minded, and have trained in a way that allows them to understand and become able practitioners in two fundamentally different forms of magic. Think about it this way: they are the fantasy equivalent of a Renaissance Man or Omnidisciplinary Scientist, skilled multi-disciplinarians of already complex and taxing fields. While some mages scoff at different forms of magic, the Red Mage takes the time to study them, and by learning them becomes truly versatile. It's not often a single magic user can pull off a Yin-Yang Bomb, after all. The most common form of Red Mage combines White Mage and Black Mage with a hint of Glass Cannon/Squishy Wizard. In rare cases, they may also be as physically gifted as a Magic Knight or Combat Medic. However, the Red Mage isn't just a swordsperson who picks one school of magic to go with their blade, but just about any two (and sometimes more) schools of magic. Common pairings include: White Magic and Black Magic, Light and Dark, or Fire and Ice (and occasionally another Elemental Power). Contrast Crippling Overspecialization and Master of One Magic. See also Class and Level System and Splat. May suffer (and benefit) doubly from Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards. To avoid confusion, the Red Mage may well be a single class with access to spells from different classes, or the result of a magician who has studied in more than one magical tradition.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury officials are preparing a search for a new assistant town manager to take over for Joe Colangelo, who left that post last week to become town administrator in Hinesburg.
Officials will first review the assistant town manager's job description to see if it should be adjusted before it is advertised. It is a job with a focus on municipal budget and human resources issues.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on Tuesday voted 75 to 17 in favor of affirming a $3 million bond issue to finance various road improvement projects throughout town.
The second Australian ballot vote was needed to affirm a Town Meeting Day vote of 467 to 158 in favor of the bond. That initial vote was improperly warned and therefore had to be ratified.
The proposed 20-year, $3 million bond issue is to take care of 17 different road improvement projects that might otherwise linger on the drawing board.
MIDDLEBURY — Mary Cram has long been looking to upgrade the small play structure at the Addison County Parent-Child Center's Playlab. Putting an idea down on paper was pretty easy, but getting the paper money to put the idea into motion has been tough.
MIDDLEBURY — A Bridport man pleaded innocent in Addison County District Court on Monday to charges of simple assault with a weapon and reckless endangerment, in connection with the accidental shooting of a neighbor on Aug. 13, 2010.
State authorities who investigated the case allege that Tracy M. Stone, 35, had alcohol in his system and was knowingly firing a malfunctioning firearm at the time that Peter Damone, then 76, was struck in the left arm and face by a .45-calibre round while grilling on his porch almost a half a mile away.
MIDDLEBURY — Town officials exploring the prospect of a new municipal building at the intersection of College and South Main streets will seek a consultant to help them flesh out plans.
And while a new municipal building proposal is likely a few years off, the selectboard wants to quickly make some energy improvements to the adjacent, porous town gym in anticipation of heating fuel prices that could top $4 per gallon next winter.
ADDISON COUNTY — Dairy farmers in the Northeast are searching for more information in a lawsuit charging Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) and its affiliate, Dairy Marketing Services (DMS) with price-fixing and monopolization of the regional dairy market.
On March 24, U.S. District Court Judge Christina Reiss in Burlington declined to make a decision on a request by attorneys representing Northeast dairy farmers to release a number of sealed court documents pertaining to the case.
BRANDON — Trailing by a run in the bottom of the seventh with the bases empty and down to their last batter, No. 9 hitter Colton Aines, the Otter Valley Union High School baseball team on Monday rallied to tie visiting Springfield and then win in eight innings, 3-2.
The comeback made for a successful varsity debut for new coach Tim Mitchell, who had seen eight Otters reach base through six innings, but only one score as the Cosmos took a 2-1 lead into the seventh.

ACC recruiting class grades
Duke, NC State and North Carolina earn high marks for 2013 recruiting
With the late signing period over and the final 2013 class rankings set, here's a team-by-team breakdown of the 2013 basketball recruiting classes in the ACC, complete with final grades for all 12 teams. Final class grades for the SEC, Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, Pac-12 and non-BCS best of the rest are already out.
Note: Teams are as of conference alignment for the 2012-13 season and not future conference realignment.
The jewel of Duke's 2013 class, which features three ESPN 100 recruits, is small forward Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall player in the nation. He brings a complete package to the program, with the versatility to play and defend either forward position, a strong history of winning with four state titles, and the skills to shoot, pass, score off the bounce and handle the ball when needed. ESPN 100 shooting guard Matt Jones possesses a quick trigger and the range and accuracy to back it up, and he is improving at shooting off the bounce from midrange. Finally, ESPN 100 small forward Semi Ojeleye has a strong frame with good skills. With time and space, he can knock it down from behind the arc, but where he really shines is on the glass as a terrific rebounder for his size. All three players bring intangibles, a high basketball IQ, and the ability to defend their position and switch to others when needed. These are three dangerous weapons for the Blue Devils. Coach Mike Krzyzewski lost three stars in Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly, but the good news for Duke is he has plenty of gifted talent coming to Durham, N.C., next season.

Coffee Maker Recommendations
- g
- gttahaveit Oct 28, 2008 11:43 AM
My 18 year old old-school Braun is finally giving up the ghost. I've put off buying a new one for a couple of years now, choosing instead to put up with the not-white-anymore casing and the broken drip interrupter. But now that the plastic exterior has started to turn to powder, it's time for a new one.
I'd be more than happy to replace it with the same make and model, but thanks to all things being new and improved, that's not an option. I'm looking for something quite basic; I don't like multiple machines in one. I have a grinder, and it works fine, thanks very much. A timer, well perhaps, but I kinda like the freshness just filtered water, and newly ground beans. Was considering the Cuisinart, but I'm not crazy about the small pouring area for the water resevoir, and, I'm such a klutz in the morning, I'll just spill water all over the coffee grounds.
Any suggestions?
I bought a Technivorm a few months ago and it is, by far, the best coffee maker on the market. In spite of the price, even Cook's Illustrated agreed. No bells, no whistles, just the only drip coffeemaker that delivers the water to the grounds at the proper temperature. I got mine from these folks.
re: grampart
The Technivorm got a thumbs up from Cooks Illustrated as their top pick
re: grampart
i too was seduced by the technivorm claims. We had good coffee, probably able to taste the difference versus other machines, but it just completely busted on us. Won't heat. While the high brewing temperature does produce a better taste, I am now searching for a good but less expensive model. I would never buy a Technivorm again. At $270, the engineering is just not worth it -
We bought a Cuisinart, but the tiny kind, since we live in a condo with no space. It makes 4 cups or something. It hasn't let us down, and as long as you buy good coffee, you'll be fine.
LOL, I was in the exactly same position about a year ago. Didn't want to let go of my ancient Braun and I know exactly what you mean about the small pour area of the Cuisuinart. I did succumb to the Cuisinart and usually set the timer in the evening to avoid morning messes. Makes a comparable cup of coffee to the Braun.
re: Mila
I like the Black and Decker under the counter model, as it is low, and can sit on a shelf in the kitchen.
It has a separate water container, so no pouring is involved.
No spills.
Simply fill the container from the tap, and replace.
I loved the old glass model, but the new one is metal so I can no longer watch the coffee brewing.
I am looking for a new coffee maker for my parents as well, they seem paranoid about plastic stuff, so are there any coffee makers that dont use plastic? like metallic dripping thingies etc..?
Thanks for all the info. I'd love to be able to try out the Technivorm, but my budget won't go much past Canadian Tire..
I'll give the Cuisinart another look!
For many years I had a Braun Aromaster 10 cup. I probably went through at least 3 of them over the years. Last year it finally gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a Braun Aroma Deluxe ($29.99 at J&R)
1) The coffee is just as good as the Aromaster
2) It takes up a bigger footprint on the counter top
3) When putting water in, it is much more difficult to read the markings through the window on the side of the Aroma Deluxe than to read the markings on the back of the tank of the Aromaster. I find I have to move the Aroma Deluxe around on the counter to get the light just right so I can see it.
4) The padded handle on the Aroma Deluxe is nice
5) I much prefer the cylindrical carafe of the Aromaster to the conical carafe of the Aroma Deluxe. With the conical shape you have to tip the carafe more, and past horizontal, to pour the coffee out so you get better control with the Aromaster's cylindrical carafe though I immagine teh conical shape is better for loss by evaporation.
6) I think the new Aroma Deluxe has auto off but I never tried it.
7) the Aroma Deluxe has a built in Brita filter but comes with a blank if you don't want to use it (personally I put the coffee up the night before which gives the chlorine a chance to evaporate out over-night )
The best coffee for the least outlay has to be Aeropress, for $30-$35. It will make up to two mugs, and I have never had a spillage problem in a year of steady use.

re: jayt90
I love my aeropress so much that I have one for work. The beauty of it is that it's small enough to travel with, and in moments I can have a fresh cup of coffee.
Based on your description of your "needs" I recommend a Cuisinart DCC-100 Coffee Bar Classic 10-Cup Coffeemaker. We purchased this model last February from Amazon for $30 w/free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...
This is a simple to operate coffee maker with no clock to set or complicated controls to figure out. The cone filter design makes a great cup of coffee, the top opens wide for easy filling, the water gauge on the side shows water level in the tank, and the swing-out filter holder is easy to fill and empty. You don't even need to figure out that little red dial in the top...just turn it to "off" and use your usual amounts of coffee. The coffee brews hot and stays hot without turning bitter. In other words, it works like it is supposed to. Plus it has a 3 year warranty The best $30 we could have spent..
From my recent experience, don't Buy a Black & Decker. Mine gave out after about six months. I now have a Krups thermal, which I love, but I don't know how long it will last.
If you want a regular coffee maker, take a look at Zojirushi. I'd go with the Technivorm others recommended, but the Zojirushi is cheaper and makes great coffee. It also uses a thermal carafe rather than a hot plate (a must).
If you're a coffee junkie like me... consider getting a Chemex pot and/or a Bodum french press. Recently, though, I've been converted to the cult of the Bialetti Moka Express. No, it's not espresso, but it's a lot more satisfying than any drip coffee I've ever had. And at $25, it's a steal.

Yellow River drainage basin is the birthplace of Chinese nation and it is known as the cradle of Chinese civilization.Answered by joyoti sen, 18 Oct '08 11:24 pm
From the earliest times in the history of humankind, water, in the form of lakes, seas, and especially rivers, has played an essential role in the development of civilization. This is a truth universal to cultures throughout the world. And the great amount of archeological information available about ancient Chinese civilization tells us that their ways of life were greatly influenced by the Yellow and Yangtze River civilizations. The Yellow River, in particular, was essential to the development of Chinese civilization.Answered by kartikay Gangaprasad, 19 Oct '08 03:08 pm

The Angels' No. 3 prospect struck out six and allowed three hits over four innings Friday in a 7-0 split-squad victory over the Indians in Cactus League action.
After allowing two earned runs on four hits over two innings in his Spring Training debut, Richards has settled down. Following Friday's performance, he's pitched seven consecutive scoreless frames. The 2011 Texas League All-Star has not issued a walk while fanning six in his last two outings.
If Richards earns a spot in the rotation, it won't be his first time at the Major League level. After winning 10 straight decisions at Double-A Arkansas, he made his big league debut last Aug. 11 and was roughed up for six runs over five innings against the Yankees. He returned as a September callup, where he spent most of his time coming out of the bullpen.
Hitting prospects took center stage in the Angels' other split-squad game, an 8-7 setback to the Padres.
On the eve of his 22nd birthday, No. 2 prospect Jean Segura smacked a pair of solo homers and scored three times. He went deep only twice in 52 games across two Minor League levels, although a strained hamstring sidelined him for a good part of last season.
Former first-round pick Taylor Lindsey, the Angels' No. 6 prospect, came off the bench and singled in both of his at-bats to raise his Cactus League average to .778 (7-for-9). The 21-year-old second baseman, who has yet to make his full-season debut, committed an error in the Padres' eight-run seventh inning but stole second to put the potential tying run in scoring position in the ninth.
No. 15 prospect Kole Calhoun went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored to raise his spring average to .379.

How Can CEOs Protect Customer Data And Their Own Jobs?
- A loss of customer trust
- Revenue shortfalls
- A plummeting stock price
- C-level executives losing their jobs
As a result, Data security and privacy has become a key topic of discussion, not just in IT meetings, but in the media and the boardroom.
Preventing access to sensitive data has become more complex than ever before. There are new potential entry points that IT never previously considered. These new options go beyond typical BYOD user devices like smartphones and tablets. Today's entry points can be much smaller: Things like HVAC controllers, office polycoms and temperature control systems.
So what can organizations do to combat this increasing complexity? Traditional data security practices focus on securing both the perimeter and the endpoints. However, these practices are clearly no longer working and no longer manageable. Not only is the number and type of devices expanding, but the perimeter itself is no longer present. As companies increasingly outsource, off-shore and move operations to the cloud, it is no longer possible fence the perimeters and to keep intruders out. Because 3rd parties often require some form of access, even trusted user credentials may fall into the hands of malicious intruders.
Data security requires a new approach. It must use policies to follow the data and to protect it, regardless of where it is located and where it moves. Informatica is responding to this need. We are leveraging our market leadership and domain expertise in data management and security. We are defining a new data security offering and category. This week, we unveiled our entry into the Data Security market at our Informatica World conference. Our new security offering, Secure@Source™ will allow enterprises to discover, detect and protect sensitive data.
The first step towards protecting sensitive data is to locate and identify them. So Secure@Source™ first allows you discover where all the sensitive data are located in the enterprise and classify them. As part of the discovery, Secure@source also analyzes where sensitive data is being proliferated, who has access to the data, who are actually accessing them and whether the data is protected or unprotected when accessed. Secure@Source™ leverages Informatica's PowerCenter repository and lineage technology to perform a first pass, quick discovery with a more in depth analysis and profiling over time. The solution allows you to determine the privacy risk index of your enterprise and slice and dice the analysis based on region, departments, organization hierarchy, as well as data classifications.
The longer term vision of Secure@Source™ will allow you to detect suspicious usage patterns and orchestrate the appropriate data protection method, such as: alerting, blocking, archiving and purging, dynamically masking, persistently masking, encrypting, and/or tokenizing the data. The data protection method will depend on whether the data store is a production or non-production system, and whether you would like to de-identify sensitive data across all users or only for some users. All can be deployed based on policies. Secure@Source™ is intended to be an open framework for aggregating data security analytics and will integrate with key partners to provide a comprehensive visibility and assessment of an enterprise data privacy risk.
Secure@Source™ is targeted for beta at the end of 2014 and general availability in early 2015. Informatica is recruiting a select group of charter customers to drive and provide feedback for the first release. Customers who are interested in being a charter customer should register and send email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Growing in a Tough Economy
At Informatica, we take great delight in the success of our customers. Just today, in spite of the economic downturn, KPN announced that its Q2 revenues increased 22% and raised its outlook for the remainder of the year. To what do they attribute their results? Solid execution and successful integration of acquired companies. Watch the KPN CFO give his take on CNBC.
At our recent customer conference, KPN was the overall winner of the annual Informatica Innovation Awards. They made some strategic investment in Informatica products to achieve their business objectives.
"Informatica products and services have been critical to driving shareholder value through improved customer service. To realize our Strategic Innovation goals, we built our Customer Data Cleansing platform with Informatica; it gives us real-time access and cleansing of our customer data. Our nomination for an Innovation Award signifies an industry acknowledgement of the competitive advantage this project has brought to KPN."
- Jan Muchez, CIO, KPN
At Informatica, we focus a great deal on how our customers link key business imperatives to the application of data integration and data quality technology. What an excellent example provided by KPN – Congratulations to them on a great quarter!

"So nice, simple and perfect!! my baby shower is in México, so it had to be in spanish, I was able to word everthing in spanish and the delivery was very fast!!! .. colors are as same as picture. Thank you!!!"
"This is a wonderful baby shower invitation and it was even approved by my husbands big greek family. I had another invitation picked our originally but it didn't provide enough room for all the wording needed and the registry info. THis card allows enough room to put more than one shower host and your registry info. The standard paper is a nice thick cardboard type. The white wording is a little hard to read against the background so I would suggest increasing the font by one level. Had the return address printed on the envelope and it is well worth the money and looks perfect."
"Everyone loved the soft colors of this beautiful traditional baby shower invitation. Paper quality was very good and they shipped much more quickly than I expected."
"I really like this card but the default white font is a little hard to read; there's not enough contrast from the pink surrounding it and I can imagine some women may have trouble reading it. So, you may want to try the Wild Strawberry color font. Otherwise, this is a beautiful card and perfect for a clothesline-themed, baby-girl shower."
"I found this site when searching for a baby shower invitation with a clothesline theme in girlish colors as we are giving my daughter a just family baby shower for her second child who will be a little girl and wanted to shower her with little girl clothes. This fit the bill perfectly! I also loved that there was an option to add a photo on the back, so we put her 3-D ultrasound picture on the back so everyone could get a peek at her. The photo came out amazingly well. I am keeping one to put in my grandma's brag book."

Javier ready to Play with heroes
The closest Javier Hernandez got to playing with his Manchester United heroes before this week was on a PlayStation console. Now he will be lining up alongside the real people who were immortalised on a video game in the bedroom of his house in Mexico. United's new signing still cannot quite get his head round it. Hernandez, 22, said: "To play with people like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will be incredible for me. I have only ever played with them on my PlayStation game. When I was growing up I would also watch them on TV. I dreamed one day I would play with them and now it will be a reality." Hernandez, a £6million capture from Mexican side Chivas, joined up with his new team-mates in Houston on Monday and could play some part in tonight's game against the MLS All-Stars.
Neil Custis, The Sun
There's more from Paul Scholes in the papers, at least in the online editions, following yesterday's comments about England and Manchester City. This time the veteran midfielder is quoted on playing fewer games for United in 2010/11. "I know that playing two or three times a week it is not going to happen any more. I just have to be ready when needed."
