Does anyone know of an equivalent of the Linux/Unix su command for Windows?
I need a way of being able to temporarily access files/folders and settings that are normally locked-down for the students, without the need to log them off and login as myself.
Well, runas is more like the su command in *nix.
This presupposes you have enabled file context menus (right-clicking) or the command prompt in user profiles.
well you can always psexec into a machine remotely and do it that way.
Yeah but no GUI and no network resources and unless you want to transmit admin credentials in clear text
Has any setup an SSH daemon/service or their Windows boxes?
also IIRC commercial ssh runs on windows and is free for edu
/me rubs hands with glee
I have used a SSH server on my home PC for a bit now. If you want more than a command line interface as well bitvise tunnelier is a nice windows ssh client which makes it nice and easy to do various tasks quick and simple.
Am I correct in understanding that Microsoft have made thing so that you can't run a remote desktop session on an XP box unless the console session is locked or logged out.
Yes but you could also VNC over SSH if you want.
I'm sure there's a command line option for connecting to the users desktop rather than logging them out and locking the workstation. It's something like -console.Originally Posted by NetworkGeezer
There is a /console switch that claims to connect to the console session of a server but when I tried it I never seemed to get the syntax right as I always ended up with a GUI.
You can make a terminal server connection to one of your servers and log in with admin credentials. That won't let you make settings in config dialogs, but I'm not sure any of the suggestions here do except runas.
In some cases you could probably make a shortcut to the program you want to run and under the shortcut's properties, shortcut tab, advanced, tick "run with different credentials". You can use iexplore.exe for file management under a different account but you need to F5 after deleting files for it to display properly.
In the case of control panel applets you'll want to makea shortcut to the actual .cpl file and modify that - otherwise "run with different credentials" will be unavailable.

Best Steak Place in Dallas for business
I'm coming to Dallas in the next couple of months and need to take a few people out to a great dinner. They want a steak place. Which one(s) is the best and why? Prefer something local, but I know the chains can be good, too. Thanks for any help.
I'm a III Forks fan. Might be too far out north depending on where you are staying.
But it's big and bold like Texas' reputation. The space is stunning both in size and style, the service is polished and the food is excellent.
Here are my recs:
Al Biernat's
4217 Oak Lawn Ave.
Phone: 214-219-2201
Although not a classic steakhouse, food and service is always consistent even for non-regulars. Good scene.
Bob's Steak & Chop House
4300 Lemmon Ave
Phone: 214-528-9446
One of the first mucho macho steakhouses in Dallas. Still has a strong following but the place can be noisy.
Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
10477 Lombardy Lane
Phone: 214-366-2000
An excellent steakhouse made so by a very successful restaurant family. Won't disappoint but is pricey.
2911 Routh St
Phone: 214-871-9991
An "Al Biernat's/Bob's Steak & Chop House" starter kit. Can have their good days and bad days. Room is not particularly inviting.
re: Scagnetti
Great list, Scagnetti.
With the exception of Perry's, they're all too loud, especially Al Biernat's. It's no place to carry on a conversation and the tables are very tightly packed together. For layout, Perry's is a better choice.
I love Texas (family's been here since 1842), but I find III Forks tacky and the food not that special (what I do still remember is their creamed corn). Of that family of restaurants, prefer the Silver Fox as it's slightly more subtle. I've always thought III Forks' tagline should be something like 'fine dinin' for rednecks' ;)
I've had memorable steak at Nana (under a former chef) and Iris (not of course steak restaurants). I also think Saltgrass has perfectly nice steak, though this wouldn't be the restaurant for your purposes. Saltgrass is where I usually go with friends when I get that "it's been too long since I've had a big hunk of red meat" craving ;)
re: foiegras
Saltgrass definitely does not meet the needs of the original post--just a notch above Outback in my opinion.
re: bhoward
Not a fan of Outback, but agreed on the rest ... that's what I meant by "though this wouldn't be the restaurant for your purposes."
I have actually been to Traildust with out of town business visitors who insisted on taking the recommendation of a coworker because they wanted to experience "real Texas steak." Of course anyplace with real Texas steak has a real Texas giftshop where you can buy real Texas souvenirs ;) Now there's a place that makes Saltgrass look appropriately sophisticated ... what I remember most was all the screaming kids.
Well, there's business, and then there's BUSINESS! If you're looking for an expense account resturant, the kind where you can easily go through $5,000 on just wine, then Pappas Bros. is your place.
Silver Fox is nice for food, but it's a little less formal (but much friendlier on the wallet--without taking a hit on the palate).
What about Del Frisco's? It's a bit up north (don't know where you'll be), but we've never had a bad meal there.
And also up in that neck of the woods is Chamberlains, which has also never failed to disappoint.
Or, just search the steakhouses listings at www.guidelive.com for more info.
re: teegee
Pappas Bros, Bob's, Al Beirnat's and Chamberlain's are all fine. I really enjoy the bustle of Bob's on Lemmon (although I think the side large carrot is sorta goofy) but all are very competent. Also, although a small chain, Capital Grill never disappoints. I regularly eat there before Mavericks games at the bar and have never had a bad meal. Friends I have taken there inevitably want to return.
re: twisterp
I have been a Palm fan for years, but the last time I went to The Palm in Dallas, I had a less than stellar experience. I ordered their smallest strip steak and left two-thirds of it on my plate because it was overcooked, coated in butter and the exterior was gray. My wife's fllet tasted "off." and she left most of it too. The cottage fries arrived soggy and lukewarm, as if they had been made ahead of time. Our server and the assistant manager both were apologetic and offered us dessert, but we declined and decided it was one of those "lessons learned."
Re: The Palm. DON'T DO IT!
The last time we went to the Palm in the West End, it was awful! The butterflied steak had the appearance and texture of saddle leather and while dessert was comp'd, they unintentionally did us a bigger favor as it was terrible as well so we didn't feel bad not eating it!
Somebody mentioned Nick & Sam's? Lovely place! A little loud, be a great building, good wines, decent atmosphere, "caviar cart", and so you really get a "special restaurant" experience out of it.
That's my vote; if only to people watch at the valet line and as they check in their furs (which you probably won't see at this time of year).
For business, I'd really look at Perry's. It has an intimate feel I don't get at the other places mentioned here.
While I like Bob's, Nick & Sam's and Al's, they're so darn loud! It's hard to have a conversation on a busy night. III Forks is a zoo; I agree it's tacky. Pappas Bros is swell but just exhaustingly grandiose.
Chamberlain's is very nice, if you don't mind the trek to Addison.
As you go in to Perry's, don't step down to the left towards the bar, but go past the hostess stand and through to the main dining room. Take a right, and there's sort of a corridor lined with these great booths; ideal for business chat.
Oh, and have the BBQ Shrimp starter as it's very, very good, and not at all what you'd expect (not too BBQ-ey).

What did you have for lunch today?
- huiray May 14, 2012 01:08 PM
Fried rice – using two-day-old basmati boiled rice; with finely minced/sliced deskinned fresh ginger, fried till almost crispy; halved/sliced deshelled deveined shrimp; sliced dark meat chicken (thighs) pre-marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper. shaoshing wine; julienned spring onions; fresh asparagus spears sliced against the bias; de-seeded hot long green chile peppers, finely chopped; finely chopped Vietnamese coriander (rau răm); splash of fish sauce (nước mắm) and scattering of sea salt.
re: Clarkafella
Dairy Queen . . . I would so love that! I haven't eaten yet but I think it's going to be leftover pasta. Wah! I want DQ!
re: Clarkafella
Arugula salad dressed with lemon juice and sesame oil. YUM.
Reheated roasted sweet and regular potatoes, boca burger (just the burger, no bun or toppings) and some red raspberries. It wasn't terribly exciting.
A big romaine salad with artichoke hearts, plum tomatoes and a small can of Genova Tuna packed in olive oil. A little balsamic vinegar and ground pepper. Gala Apple.
Salad made from the first freshly picked greens from my garden. Topped it w leftover roasted salmon, hot cherry peppers, cuke , coleslaw and balsamic dsg.
grilled ham and swiss, and a broccoli/cauliflower/carrot/sunflower seed/golden raisin/dried cranberry salad from the supermarket
I had a blackened Georgia trout taco, and a fried fish taco at a place in Atlanta that serves organic Mexican type food. Everything was delicious. I love going to places I've never heard of before, just driving by and taking a chance.
re: sunangelmb
Whew . . . so glad to hear that! (Of course if you saw the size of the cheesesteaks and fries the place puts out . . . )
re: sunangelmb
Roast pork . . . do you get the provolone and broccoli rabe (as is required ;)
re: sunangelmb
Then you are welcome in Philly any time :)
re: mamachef
:) I must say it was damned good.
Took cubed tofu and heated it up with some leftover braised cabbage with bits of prosciutto cooked along in it. Followed that with a half of a Fuji apple and some H20.
I woke up way too early and started grazing and it was ON for the day. After a huge breakfast with a girlfriend, I thought perhaps I'd bypass lunch, but that was not to be because I went to a Senegalese store to pick up some spices and at their lunch counter they were selling prawn Po'boys. I don't think I need to say anymore about that. Oh, and fresh lemonade and orange juice and guava juice either blended w/ soda (plain) or not, over finely-crushed ice. There were very warm spices and a good deal of heat in the prawns, the perfect baguette was toasted, and it was spread with a harissa/garlic aioli and thinly-sliced onions and cucumbers, and it was just right.
Remainder of the Yong Tau Foo I made a few days ago.
Leftover pork hock stewed with bamboo shoots.
Piece of Winter Melon Cake.
The very last of a veggie version of an old family skillet dish: sauté onions and peppers, add tomatoes and cook a bit, add a can of beans (not drained) and 12 ounces of high-fiber penne from TJ's, cooked. Let it simmer gently and serve. So I had about a cup of that, and I broke up half a can of sardines and added those and some of the olive oil and nuked it gently. Then I cut up some English cucumber and a large Belgian endive into a bowl and gave it a pinch of salt, grind of pepper, some oil and a little vinegar. Two small bowls of food, quite delicious and I'm sure virtuous.
re: Uncle Bob
This is what I want for lunch but Popeyes isn't close by at all. Closest one is over an hour away and it just doesn't taste the same anymore.
re: vttp926
my husband loves Popeyes, I've never had it.
since hearing how good the biscuits are there I've taken to making their copycat recipe which is a joke it's so easy but quite good. < anything to make a great biscuit right...
today for lunch we sat at the lake, he swam while I made (on sourdough bread) chunked chicken breast sandwich and sliced boneless pork chop sandwich. they got crunch from unusual suspects of sliced red onion and baby celery stalks salt/pepper mayo&mustarde with Hansons diet root beer and sliced galas.
A nice size chunk of aged gouda and a salad with radishes, snap peas, and celery. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going to have a piece of that gouda for dessert!
re: sunangelmb
@Sun: I bought it prepared from local independent health food store so it may have been a non-mayo mayonnaise but it definitely was mayo-like...not very much of it though.
ETA: please check out a recipe at lowfatveganchef if you want...I saw a photo looked very much like what I ate (cabbage & tomatoes)...I did a search of Costa Rican coleslaw and that came up as a possibility. I am at work now so can't spend lots of time looking for the exact recipe but will check that out when I get home, I want to make it over the weekend.
what I' m going to have is a rare roast beef and cheddar sandwich on seeded Italian bread, spread very lightly w/butter and bbq sauce. and an apple (gala I think). and diet coke.
re: huiray
Both this lunch and your lunch from yesterday sound amazing... I've got a bad case of lunch envy.
re: kubasd
Aw shucks. :-)
Leftover Mark Bittman Moroccan Flavored Israeli Couscous with leftover BBQ chicken breast.
Tomorrow: leftover paella
re: sueatmo
pfft...! I eat sardines about 3 times a week...pretty plain like you, usually with Ryvita crackers and a green salad.
Leftover beef tenderloin, rare, sliced thin, on a roll with provolone, mayo, sriracha, and leftover sauteed mushrooms and onions.
re: Bacardi1
Leftover chili-flavored pasta tossed with leftover flaked flounder stuffed with crabmeat. Delicious!!!
Spaghetti carbonara (using only guanciale + local bacon, parmesan instead of romano, egg yolks, black pepper.)
Green salad (local lettuces; dressed w/ Alziari olive oil, 8-year balsamic, sea salt, black pepper.)
Microwaved sweet potato with a little butter, s&p, navel orange from friend's tree (I'm on a diet)
Hey Ray, that's one hell of a production there for lunch! I expect no less from you.
I had black bean sauce beef, long life noodles and white rice and a puckery strong Vietnamese coffee for dessert while watching a rerun of your Pacers serve up LeBron and Dwade on an NBA playoff platter.
re: chocolatetartguy
Too kind. How ya doin'.
Your lunch sounds quite scrumptious! The Pacers? Meh. :-)
re: huiray
Ca va. Don't underestimate the Pacers, they can beat the Boshless Heat.
Still don't know how I failed to eat a pork tenderloin sandwich in Indy. I was actually quite close to a bar that was recommended. It was near an antique warehouse and has a rep of being very smoky. Probably due to my getting sick. Also missed out on the roast pork/broccoli rabe/provolone sandwich from DeNic's when I was in Philly because I was focused on cheesesteaks and Amish food. At least my favorite Berkeley pizza place Gioia has opened a restaurant in SF and they have it on the menu. Went over Saturday but they stop serving it at 3 and I got there at 3:20.
re: chocolatetartguy
Darn. I hate it when I miss something by minutes like that.
As for the tenderloins - I think you mean the Lockerbie Pub? :-) Well, keep Indy in mind for a return visit! In the meanwhile, you might find this older CH thread interesting... http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/708827 :-P
re: huiray
Yes, especially when you are travelling by bus and are supposed to pick up for a friend too. The consolation prize was my favorite NY style pizza with prosciutto cotta, red onion, provolone, red chili flakes.
Yes, it was Lockerbie Pub. I hadn't realized that it was so close to the antique warehouse until I rode by in a cab. That day for lunch I ended up eating bread and cheese brought from home and then later returned to Shapiros.
I was was very happy with my dining choices in Indy in no small part thanks to you.
Cajun chicken sandwich with aged cheddar on a brioche. Not the greatest sandwich I ever ate, but it was on a beautiful outdoor patio a local place just installed, on a sunny 72 degree day, with a 2-man band playing some funky blues.
Small individual container of Breakstone 2% cottage cheese and two tuna lettuce rollups.
Trying to lose a few pounds.
re: mamachef
"further compounded" had me snorting Yuengling's out the nose.
Other than the mayo, I'm jealous. The frozen chocolate malt is jealousy x 10.
It hasn't happened yet, but I am rabidly anticipating a trip to the taco coach of my dreams. I have every intention of having three carnitas tacos with chopped onion and cilantro, yes please jalapenos and carrots, and some salsa verde with lots of extra lime. The tortillas will be small, warm, pliant and fragrant. They will be fully loaded with the crispiest, most succulent mojo-marinated carnitas and be difficult to fold to eat. (But I assure you, I WILL find a way.) The extra lime and heat of the chiles and carrots will cut the fatty unctuousness of the meat, and the lime juice will begin to seep into the tortillas, making them mix in a crumbly way with the rest of the delicious food that's fallen back onto the plate. A taco salad of sorts, if you will. If I could eat faster, it prolly wouldn't happen - but I LIKE the limey soggy tortilla-y bits.
All this and a Mexican Coca-cola? Heaven on a plate.
re: mamachef
Looking forwards to a report on the experience. :-)
re: huiray
It was everything I ever wanted in carnitas tacos and then some. The meat was piping hot and crisped at the edges from a to-order turn on a very hot grill; the cilantro was spankin' fresh and the white onions mild and sweet. They pickle their own jalapenos and carrots and they were delicious. And wonder of wonders, the tortillas did not disintegrate under the sop of all my extra lime because they crisped them momentarily in the deep fryer!! Brilliant!!
And I wasn't expecting it but they sent along a side plate of cuminy pinto beans with onions and bacon and some delicious ajiaco rice. Nice! A comp!!
And Mexican Coke is what it is: sugar-loaded and sparkly, throat-itchingly delicious. I'm a Pepsi girl, lifelong, but show me a Mexican Coke, and it's over. I bought 4 to bring home, along with a few little indie flans they had on offer that he assured me his grandma makes at home nightly. Alrighty then! Mexican sugar orgy in somebody's near future! Wahoo!
re: mamachef
That sounds quite splendid and yummy! Thanks for the report. As for the Mexican Coke, I like that it's in the old curvy glass bottle more than that it *is* that sweet. :-)
re: mamachef
mama, is this a ploy to make me hungry? cause it's working...yum
re: mamachef
Now I want to get a shrimp taco. Alas, I already had a chicken tikka masala wrap from Costco, warm and gummy from the microwave. Not bad but not good either.
Mettwurst (from a local German butcher [Claus' German Sausage & Meats]) + natural casing Wieners (Dietz & Watson) simmered w/ sauerkraut (from that same local German butcher) and red-skin potatoes; w/ rice vinegar. bay leaves, nice olive oil.
Pistachio ice cream (from a local charcuterie place [Goose the Market] w/ scrumptious in-house made gelato)
re: huiray
I always love your meals, huiray. Mmmmmmmettwurst and the way you're making it sound so goooood. Have you no juniper berries? Me either. What I do in that case is add the merest tot of gin and a few caraway seeds. Just a suggestion.
re: mamachef
Hmm, I should keep the juniper berries (or gin) in mind for next time. I do have some old berries somewhere in the back of my spice rack, I think...and gin I have around sometimes. But caraway seeds - I've never been too keen on them. Personal taste.
re: huiray
You score again! I'm going back to my little Vietnamese place to have the Friday special of crispy pork chops plus a vegetable, hopefully garlic green beans, and white rice.
re: chocolatetartguy
oh yum, choctart
re: chocolatetartguy
I presume you have had that tasty-sounding lunch by now?
re: huiray
I have. For some reason I initially read tasty-sounding as trashy-sounding! It was both tasty and trashy. Since I am their most loyal customer, they save me crispy pork chops so I was eating them lukewarm at best. Sometimes they are crispier that way than right out of the cooker. Also had garlic broccoli (not as good as green beans) and got black bean sauce beef to go. I usually eat off of their steam table(!) because the flavors and variety are so good and the value fabulous.
Just to get a jump on you, tomorrow I will either eat lunch at my 2nd cousin's bday party or have Thai-style rock fish steamed in banana leaves with asparagus or zucchini and a touch of curry, brown rice and a chicken or tofu imperial roll prepared by my friend Andy, the Polish Thai food cook.
re: chocolatetartguy
Sounds really good. I myself would go for the fish option... :-) Heh, did you manage to take in both events?
re: huiray
No, despite what my aunt said there was no birthday party that day, so I had 2 lunches wrapped around an auction: a Caspar dog (tomato and white onion slices, mustard, catsup, relish) before and the steamed fish during a 200 lot break. The veggie imperial rolls were chock full of mild chopped shitakes. As I told my friend, I don't much like Thai food and I don't like shitakes but I do like his food.
Best lunch of the week was Sunday: Cafe Rouge charred baby back ribs (Berkshire?) with their adult, tomato puree sauce and slightly vinegared cole slaw at an outdoor jazz festival benefitting the Berkeley High Jazz program. The meaty, sweet ribs were especially good this year and I have four more plates waiting for me in the frig. $6 for a plate of 5 ribs from arguably the best place in the East Bay for red meat.
re: chocolatetartguy
Holy cow, that's a lot less expensive than going to the restaurant!! (Though I do LOVE the restaurant...)
Your auction grub sounds very, very good.
re: mamachef
Holy hog, you mean.
I know, I was wondering how they could do it so cheaply. I guess the answer is volume. They were still serving after the last band played close to 5. How many ribs do they give you on the lunch menu? Not only did they have the best food there, but they had the best value too. Zut charged $7 for a tasty skewer with 3 cubes of sirloin and some veggies. I ate 2 rib plates while watching the Heat/Pacers. I was full but they were so damn charred and tasty. One plate alone would have been a satisfying lunch.
The ribs were truly delicious and I would bet that they get a number of new customers out of the day. As a loss leader and a goodwill gesture, it does make sense. Lose a little, gain a lot.
The steamed fish and shitake imperial rolls were from Andy and Cindy's Thai Food at the Berkeley Farmers' Market, where Spring has sprung. Kashiwase Farms is back and the 1st little white peaches were sweet and juicy.
re: chocolatetartguy
Hmm, the veggie stuff sounds interesting. That veggie dog - why is it called a "Caspar" dog? A quick Google search doesn't turn up anything definitive, although there are references to Casper or Caspar vegetarian stuff that seems more related to the towns by those names.
Those ribs sound awesome. Yum, yum, yum.
re: huiray
The Caspar dog is a "ghost" dog, nothing but veggies on the bun. :)
Just kidding. Caspar's is a long time hot dog chain in Northern? California. The Caspar dog is their basic $3.25 dog. I was attending an auction all afternoon. Caspar's is just 2 blocks away and on a break between the lots I wanted I went to the Berkeley Farmers' market to have a healthier lunch and to check to see if boysenberries and white peaches had arrived..
The weekend of that rib bbq is one of my favorites of the year. Great food and great jazz from the BHS jazz combos and big band. And all withing walking distance of my house if you don't mind stepping over the spent cartridges and used syringes. Such is the life in West Berkeley. The toniest shopping area and my sketchy neighborhood are within 5 blocks of each other. IThe ribs make up for missing my friend's Buddhist church bazaar 2 weeks ago. They have the best chicken teriyaki bbq that I have ever had, but not really in the same league as Cafe Rouge.
re: chocolatetartguy
I think I know of which Teriyaki BBQ you speak - Sacramento/Oregon sts.?
Or do you mean the regular, huge brunch up by Cal every Sunday? I forget the name of the Wat, but that's another crazy good deal...
and what a great description of Berkeley.
re: mamachef
No, it is a large pan-Asian Buddhist church in Alameda on the same street as Jim's and several thrift stores near Park. They have huge long stone bbq pits on which they cook half chickens and some sort of Korean bbq (galbi?) Inside they have all manner of Japanese sweets and since it is pan-Asian samosa, lumpia, etc.
What is the bbq at Sacramento/Oregon St? I went to one around there 1-2 blocks above Sacramento once but not sure they had teriyaki. I remember having curry rice and it is a smallish event.
The regular, huge brunch is Thai and is above MLK just north of Ashby. I forget the name, but it is at a temple of some sort.
re: chocolatetartguy
Sounds like one must get one's but to the next Alameda shindig. I can't believe how fantastic that sounds. The one in Berkeley that I was talking about is indeed about a block above Sac. on Oregon, and its not huge - they do several events a year, and it's Teriyaki chicken (and really good chicken at that) for sure. The reason I know that is I used to live RIGHT there, and they had a really sweet habit of bringing free platters to all their immediate neighbors to make up for "all the noise." And yep, we're talking about the Thai brunch. Yum.
It's interesting reading everyone's responses. What a varied range of foods and circumstances, including choices made due to work issues. Most folks - including myself - must have had the desperation lunch on some days of something like a bag of salted peanuts and a bag or two of Doritos BBQ chips from the vending machine in the coffee room at work...
Weird day. Not working today, so I got up later than usual. So breakfast wasn't until about 10. Then after some puttering, took mom to the matinee of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in a nearby town where the vintage theater is on a street full of restaurants. There's a nice Italian restaurant next to the theater so I took mom for dinner and me for lunch. I had a cocktail of rum, coconut milk and pineapple juice with shaved ginger on top; bread was homemade rolls dripping in olive oil and garlic (3 hours later I still have extreme garlic breath); lunch was chicken piccata with roasted fingerling potatoes, again with lots of olive oil and garlic. I guess dinner will be at 11 tonight.
re: mamachef
The cocktail was divine . . .shaken, not blended like a pina colada, but still frothy thanks to the fresh coconut milk, and just the right balance of ginger and fruit (after all, I had just spent the last two hours in India :) Add that to a 77 degree, not a cloud in the sky day, and life is certainly tough!
Simple clear broth:
Chicken stock w/ finely sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms, spring onions & cilantro.
Stir-fry with:
• Chicken fat & chicken skin (cut up) sauteéd & rendered & crisped; removed from pan.
• Small shallots - peeled, trimmed, finely sliced.
• Smashed fresh garlic, finely chopped.
• Sliced beef sirloin + sliced chicken thigh (deboned): marinated in sesame oil, light soy sauce, shaohshing cooking wine, splash of fish sauce (nuoc mam), freshly ground white pepper.
• Fresh asparagus from the Saturday farmers' market, sliced against the bias.
• Chinese celery, trimmed and chopped.
• Crispy chicken fat & skin added back in, tossed with the rest of the stuff.
Served over boiled basmati rice.
re: huiray
That's a stunningly appetite-provoking meal, huiray. Oh me, oh my. Wow. No more words for this. )
Very busy day here at Twin Oaks.....Grilled some fresh ground (chuck) burgers over wood (oak) coals......Very tasty & filling. ~~ Should hold me till time to fry up some cats for supper......
Lunch today was cream of broccoli soup with sharp cheddar added and croutons on top, sided by a half-sleeve of Club crackers and a really small salad with a tomato/basil dressing that I made yesterday when I realized I had a cup of tomato puree left over from something else. It's like retro French dressing, only not as sweet (shudder) and nice and herbaceous.
re: mamachef
I'm having cream o' brocc tonight. Quite the coincidence.
Freshly popped krupuk udang (prawn crackers).
Deep fried chả giò chay (Vietnamese vegetarian spring rolls) with nước mắm pha sẵn (a dipping sauce prepared w/ fish sauce) and fresh red romaine leaves.
Steamed siu mai.
Char siu pao (Chinese BBQ pork steamed buns).
Tai pao (Chinese [Hangzhou style] pork steamed buns).
re: huiray
I am not only in awe, but once again I'm drooling. (Tastefully and discreetly. Ladylike. You know.)
re: mamachef
Well, the first lot of spring rolls were exciting. I had let the oil get a tad too hot and boy, did I jump back when the first (and second) roll went in...not to mention the wiping off of everything around it afterwards! :-D
re: mamachef
yesterday you were ladylike & discreet, today you were shooting Pepsi out of your nose. i so adore your versatility, dear friend ;)

Hey, it's what's best about me. You can take me anywhere, you see; to a garden party full of academians where we dip tea and talk about academic things, or to a kegger where the biggest badass can stand on his head and suck beer from a bong.
re: EWSflash
I don't care for chicken feet either. It's a textural thing, because the flavors taste good. But as for the rest of it, lucky you!
re: mamachef
I like chicken feet. :-)
Very late lunch today - ironically enough, because I've been busy cooking for the families I deliver dinner to during the week, and then factoring the HUGE late brunch I had, which I'll write about elsewhere. At any rate, I nabbed part of my lunch from the food I was prepping and had gazpacho and sharp cheddar melted on sourdough bread, along with the last of the potato salad I made towards the end of the week. Pepsi over crushed ice, naturally. Nothin' fancy, but mighty tasty and perfect for today.
Niece's graduation party today. And sis is not a big cook, so it was trays from the local deli and bakery. So, soft pretzel sticks (with a really good spicy mustard), turkey sandwich on a decent bakery roll, pasta salad (which was suprisingly good with small pieces of spicy pepperoni), fresh fruit and veggies with passable dips and some petit fours.
But it was a beautiful day, my sister has a lovely backyard with lots of seating and a nice screened in sunroom where the food could reside without any annoying bugs. And most important, I spent the day with lots of family and friends. So it was a good lunch.
Glass of Stag's Leap Petite Syrah.
Fresh spaghettini with Pesto Genovese.
Flash-sautéed asparagus and sugar snap peas.
re: MonMauler
Good lawd does that sound amazing.
Lunch this fine Monday consisted of Cream of Broccoli soup with sharp shredded cheddar, a BLT made with vine-ripened tomatoes, which were the best I could find, double-thick peppered bacon, and romaine. Homemade mayo because I had time and inclination. And a.....pepsi over crushed ice.
Oh, and a few kettle chips.
re: mamachef
Other than the mayo (to which I have a strong aversion) that sounds perfect . . . double-thick peppered bacon? Where do I find that?
re: gaffk
gaffk, I order mine from a wonderful organic company, Applegate farms. You can find them online and I can recommend the company highly. Howevah, if you don't want to go to the hassle, Hormel also makes one and so does Tyson, I believe. One thing you can do is to buy double-thick bacon (LOTS of companies make it) and remove it from the package to a container with a lid. Lay it down so that the "rind" or bottom edge is facing up, and absolutely slather with coarsely-ground peppercorns, pressing it into the meat. Let "marinate" for 3-4 days, and then get ready for bacon heaven.
re: mamachef
Oooh, now I know what I'm doing this weekend. Thanks for the tip (as always)!
re: mamachef
You always have the brilliant ideas.
I had breakfast at the local diner today and I swear, they put something in their food that keeps you stuffed for hours. So no lunch for me today.
re: goodhealthgourmet
now that's my kind of omelet....love the veg choices
BLT w carmelized onion, made on hub's feshly made baguette, toasted. Utz chips. My pal's homemade apple pie and ice cream
re: huiray
Damn, pork tenderloin sandwich strikes again.
I think I am going to Nation's to have a cheese/tomato/onion omelet with a bowl of chili dumped over it. I need to go to the bank but I have exactly enough cash to pay for my heartburn.
re: chocolatetartguy
I had it at the Pawn Shop Pub, across the car park from Mississippi Belle.
Hmm, your intended lunch for some reason stirs in me the suggestion of a plate of Skyline chili for lunch tomorrow...
re: huiray
A Skyline 3 way is about a good a lunch as I can imagine. Why, oh why, don't they expand to California?
Are they still having that discussion about whether Skyline is chili or is that topic kaput?
re: chocolatetartguy
You mean this thread? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/831405 I guess it has died down.
I like it 4-way, onions.
re: huiray
Yes that one. It was fun at first, until the chili nazis took over.
I like my Skyline without beans, but my Texas chili with. Skyline has the best oyster crackers.
re: chocolatetartguy
can you and I petition them? I'm allllll for that!
Today was a slice of leftover pizza from the pizza I baked last night: mozzarella, roasted garlic, onion and banana peppers.
Cajun chicken sandwich with pub-made chips and a big glass of ice water (it's a shame I don't like milk . . . that sandwich was mighty spicy).
Polish with kraut and potato salad, honey mustard, and a grilled bun. And a Mandarin Orange soda over crushed ice.
A&P store-made roast pork loin, thinly sliced, on Russian rye they were selling by the deli counter (nigella seed i/o caraway, excellent), with a mix of mayo and Gulden's mustard from packets and mixed lettuces from the salad bar. An Edy's frozen tangerine bar and then a pomegranate one (what the heck). Wanted potato chips but hadn't gotten any. Sparkling Poland Spring water. A rather successful lunch at my office desk for once.
A group went out to a local pizza place today. Why don't I ever realize that the pizza travels only 50 feet from the oven to the table? Serious roof of mouth burns now :( I believe my next few breakfasts and lunches will be cold.
Pizzas were plain, sausage, bbq chicken and white with spinach. It was the white one that burned me.
re: huiray
Yes they were! It's a little hole in the wall mom & pop place that has just the right bubbly dough and uses all fresh ingredients. So when I saw that fresh mozz bubbling around all that fresh spinach I couldn't hold back ;)
True to my word, today's lunch was just a salad of romaine, micro greens, pears and walnuts with a vinagrette.
re: huiray
On top of your substantial breakfasts, how do you fit so much food in at lunch? (It all sounds wonderful though.)
re: huiray
I hear you; days of big lunch only have fruit for breakfast; days of big breakfasts only have small lunch.
But morning will still be Pepsi, coffee and ice water ;)
Homemade tuna salad with chopped boiled eggs and lots of lemon on and Arnold's Deli thin with fresh tomato slices sprinkled with sea salt, Gala apple slices and some Pickled banana pepper slices for a little kick. Crystal Light fruit punch to drink. Not bad, but not worth singing about either.
Polar Diet Orange Dry chugged out of the bottle... I was reading outside in the sun on the back deck and needed hydration. Edamame with spicy ginger/garlic/soy dipping sauce. A spoonful (or two) of Biscoff spread. I bought it thinking I'd like it on toast or english muffins, but it is best in its natural form. On a spoon.
re: kubasd
Yakisoba noodles with sliced chicken thigh, onion, carrot, red bell pepper, oyster sauce, soy sauce, chicken stock, and sesame oil. Crystal Geyser Sparkling Water w/lemon...or as I call it- "bubbly water".
I had corn pie (pastel de choclo) with a piece of chicken, and half a hard boiled egg inside, along with an olive and a few raisins. This was accompanied by a salad of cooked chard and brussels sprouts, raw carrot, raw cabbage, a bit of potato (cooked), dressed with lemon. For dessert: semolina pudding.
I had a cheeseburger at the cafeteria. They're one of the best things they have on a daily basis. I put leaf lettuce, tomato, pickle chips, mustard, and ketchup on it, and salted and peppered it. Sesame seed bun that they grill for a few seconds just till the cut edges are browned. I could get a better burger, but not on my half-hour lunch, and the price is crazy-cheap for the quality. I was a happy camper.
Last night I baked some whole wheat sandwich bread. So, this afternoon I am going to have tuna salad (chunk light in water, mayo, greek yogurt, mustard, diced celery, onion powder, lemon pepper and black pepper) on wheat toast. I haven't decided if I will dress it with lettuce, tomato, sriracha and/or mustard.
In any event, it will be consumed while I am on my way to the golf course.
Met a former co-worker I like at a restaurant I dislike (it was geographically convenient and she actually likes the place). So I had a grilled chicken sandwich that tasted like charcoal topped with fake cheddar cheese on a mediocre roll. With a side of bland house made chips. At least the company was good.
re: gaffk
Ah, a company save!! Sometimes, that really is the only thing to be said for mediocre meal in mediocre places. I know that I for one get super-resentful about actually paying cash bucks for crap food, but if the conversation's fun, it takes a little of the sting out.
Lunch today, following a Doctor's appointment wherein he told me that I can gain ten more pounds, (yeeHAW!), was a loco moco plate: fried rice topped with a huge portion of Kailua pig from the local Island food joint, and topped again with a fried egg and gravy. I've had them with hamburger patties, which I think is the classic version of this freakishly good mashup, but never with the pork, and I am a true convert now. I also bought a few pounds of the KP to have in the house over the weekend - I'm thinking brunch, and sandwiches, and eaten straight from the container on my frequent kitchen forays.
re: mamachef
That piggy fried rice - and the piggy stuff - sounds very good!
re: mamachef
Wow, a permit to gain 10 pounds? On a holiday weekend? I'd be fleeing my suburban environs and munching my way through Philly. In fact, I might camp out at the Reading Terminal Market, where I believe it's possible to gain that much in a day ;)
And yes, this company is a very, shall we say, picky eater. Doesn't like anything "fancy" or "ethnic." But she's a lovely woman and, other than food, we have a lot in common, so it was a pleasant lunch despite the food.
I so miss working in the city, with all of its food trucks . . .Greek, Korean, Chinese. That loco moco sounds gooooood. Can't wait until July when my niece's in-laws host their annual pig roast and are kind enough to invite me.
Today (Fri., 5-25), I THOROUGHLY enjoyed a Liederkranz cheese & sliced raw sweet onion sandwich with baby lettuce on a crusty roll. Heaven!
Skyline chili 4-way onions. Part eaten w/ Skyline Chili Sauce, most without. Oh, plus the oyster crackers.
re: huiray
Lucky bastige, you. I can't get anything even resembling decent Cincinnati chili in these parts. Guess I'll have to try my hand at making it. Anybody got a good recipe?
re: mamachef
You mean you didn't get the Marlboro Chili Roundup cookbook sent to you some years back? I'm not sure what skyline chili is, but if you give me an idea of what's in it, I'm sure that book has a good recipe for it. I've made a few that have caused family members to just camp around the crockpot until it was gone. I'll e-mail you my favorite.
re: gaffk
Some non-CH "attempts"/"close matches" (Take your pick) & disputes about whether there is chocolate in it or not:
BTW You *can* buy canned stuff. :-)
re: huiray
No, *you* can buy canned stuff ;-)
I like chili with coffee and/or chocolate and some alcohol. Recipes have been exchanged; names have been taken.
re: gaffk
Uhh, I was using "you" in the generalized sense as is common in sentence constructions... But from your reaction I gather you have very negative ideas about canned stuff anyway. Are you waving me off as someone who (horrors!!) buys canned stuff? :::wondering::: In any case, I was merely offering the tid-bit that Skyline chili *is* available canned - nothing more. :-)
re: huiray
I also use "you" in a generalized sense. Check my references and you'll find I'm non-judgmental . . . but I do not like canned stuff ;)
ETA: I really did not know what Cincinnati chili was; I'm a Philly girl.
re: huiray
Tomatoes in the winter! .
Just now moving to the growing season. Dill, oregano, basil, mint, rosemary, etc. All off the front porch.
re: gaffk
Tomatoes, tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes. MFK Fisher said it wonderfully, and Laurie Colwin's paen to the gorgeous fruit was also written so very nicely. Oh, the wonderfulness of that fruit, no matter how it's cooked or served (though IMO a sandwich is king..).
If drooling made a noise, I'd be making noise.
And for "blurnch" I had fried rice, which I made with Asian mirepoix- grated ginger and garlic, and soy sauce - and chopped bacon, ground sirloin, scrambled egg, onion, bell pepper, mung beansprouts, chopped water chestnuts and thin-sliced carrots and celery. Tossed in a bit of strong chicken stock at the end, with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, and washed it all down with miso soup with a few tofu cubes and green onion, and a healthy swig of seasoned rice vinegar salad dressing that I made yesterday.

re: iL Divo
...and in fact there are also 5 of 'em. Any particular one in mind? :-D
re: huiray
.....the one I know is real close to the Kentucky Derby-Churchill Downs in the Holiday Inn parking lot. They make a mean chili by George...that I love!!!!
Today I enjoyed leftovers from last night's dinner - Penne Pasta with Shrimp, Spinach, & Feta.
Lunch yesterday:
Salmon fillets; de-skinned; tossed with oil, dotted w/ chopped garlic, steamed w/ julienned green onions, chopped cilantro, Kikkoman soy sauce.
Fresh spaghettini tossed w/ sautéed garlic & finely chopped shallots, chopped green onions, sea salt.
Lunch today:
Chinese fish balls & Garland Chrysanthemum* soup.
Fried rice - w/ chopped orange, yellow & red mini sweet peppers; sliced chicken thigh meat marinated w/ fish sauce, sesame oil, white pepper; chopped green onions.
De-seeded Serrano chile peppers, pickled in rice vinegar, salt & sugar.
Fresh Mangosteens.
* Chrysanthemum coronarium; "Tong Ho"; 茼蒿
re: huiray
huiray, here is a lovely song I wrote about your lunches, both yesterday's and today's:
Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous jealous jealous (It might SOUND repetitive, but you'll note that there are no commas in the second three Jealouses.)
Jealous jealous jealous: jealous, jealous jealous
Did you ever notice how if you write something a bunch of times it starts sounding very strange/
Jealous, jealous jealoussssssssss...........
(Chorus) Jealous, jealous jealous.
Have a great weekend, buddy. :)
re: mamachef
Don't be. You have great lunches too.
Thanks for the kind wishes.
re: huiray
That is just about my favorite way to eat Salmon, except I also throw some green veggies into the same pan.
I wish I would see good Mangosteens around here....
re: RUK
I'm going to hazard a guess that you actually *poach* your salmon, not *steam* it?
(When I steam my fish I have the fish + seasonings in a shallow enameled metal dish, placed either in a covered bamboo steamer (rare) or propped on a 3 inch-tall ring (tuna can w/ both ends removed) sitting in boiling water in a large skillet/relatively tall-sided pan closed off with a heavy lid)
re: huiray
I see.
re: huiray
I poach it. But, by the time it is done, it will not be swimming in liquid.
I made a shell "caprese" last night. Normally shells are one of my least favorite types of pasta, but my grocery store had some mini bocconcini that were about the same size as the shells. Soooo I added some halved grape tomatoes, the bocconcini, and some fresh basil pesto to the hot shells for a tasty dinner. Leftover cold today was the perfect lunch for studying chemistry outside in the hot sun :)
Gỏi cuốn (Vietnamese summer rolls w/ shrimp & pork; peanut dipping sauce).
Bún bò Huế (Huế style (Vietnam) beef rice vermicelli in spicy beef broth).
Thanksgiving Sandwich. Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Lettuce on White Bread and a little mayo.
All of your lunches make me drool. Being that I ate all day yesterday, and given that today is hot and humid, I am having a delicious lunch of watermelon. Perhaps I'll finish it off with a handful of pretzels.
Clean-out-the deli drawer antipasto salad: The last of the baby red and green-leaf lettuces, with teardrop tomatoes, black olives, shredded smoked mozzarella, kidney and garbanzo beans, hard-boiled egg thin-sliced salami that I baked until it was crispy and then crumbled over the salad.Olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing, and very very last of the pine nuts, just for happy.
re: Uncle Bob
Strawberry pancakes prepared with the help of my Grandchildren, twin girls 5 years old. Fun for the three of us!
re: JenJeninCT
I had lunch driving home from Target. A diet coke with ice, bag of popcorn and salted soft pretzel all from the concessions counter. Damn good lunch! :)
re: JenJeninCT
That coxinha intrigues me. I looked it up - I like it. Seems nicer and appeals to me more than the "normal" croquettes where the meat is ground/chopped up and mixed in with the flour/batter; these seem more like East/SE Asian meat-filled "buns" or pastries, with a distinct "meat filling" encased in a flour/pastry shell. This recipe seems enticing... http://www.sonia-portuguese.com/recip...
re: huiray
Coxinhas are delicious- there are several varieties with fillings of corn, cheese, hot dog, etc, etc all with different names (bolinhos). But these are not in a flour or pastry shell (they have those too, called pastels)- they are the filling, surrounded by a thick layer of mashed potato, which is egg- washed , bread- crumbed and fried.
The cheese buns may also be filled in a variety of ways, often with dulce de leche.
re: goodhealthgourmet
That sounds nice. How about one of the furikake blends next time instead?
re: huiray
i totally would have used some if i hadn't used the tamari - it would have been overload for my sodium sensitivity to do both. but i did sprinkle on some toasted sesame seeds as well, which i neglected to mention earlier.
Leftover pasta bolognese from our local gourmet food truck- great food, reasonable prices and always enough for 2-3 meals.
re: mamachef
Vegetable matzo ball soup and a piece of toast with cheese. Diet root beer over ice and a handful of pringles. Thinking about the cheesecake in the fridge...
re: mamachef
Maachef, I made it earlier this week when I needed something to help me recover from a bout of stomach flu. Since I was too tired to chop veggies, I used a package of frozen soup vegetables that included the usual carrots, potatoes, onions and celery, but also had okra, corn Lima beans and who knows what else? Dumped into a pot with a handful of baby carrots, a an f potatoes, some onion soup mix ;I use an Israeli brand), a Glug if ketchup (cuz my om always did!), salt and pepper and I think some garlic and onion powder. I may have used a chicken flavored bouillon cube as well but my memory is a bit hazy. Added some water and key t simmer. Made Matza balls and... Yum! Totally chicken-less!
re: Miri1
I would ever-so-happily eat this, Miri1. Sorry that it was occasioned by a not-happy stomach, but at least it shows you're on the mend.
Do you mind telling me what brand onion soup? I've been making a Streit's Whole wheat Matzo Ball soup that they package with onion soup. Pretty good stuff, if I'm being lazy like that. And sometimes I most assuredly am. :)
re: mamachef
I used Telma and the matzo balls were from scratch. Once upon a time I would never ave used soup mix, but I tried it once and realized just how good it tastes in soup! I'm a total convert, now. :)
re: mamachef
interesting addition with the cashews... is that or taste, crunch, or both? I don't know why I've never put artichoke hearts in mine... I always have them and love them, bet they're amazing together!
re: kubasd
It's both, and it is amazing. One nice variation w/ this is to add a small spoonful of tahini to the dressing, to play up the nuttiness and the artichoke both.
re: iL Divo
Hot link from the Czech Stop in West, Tx, (out of my freezer), Kosher hot dog bun from 3 Brothers bakery in Houston and Gulden's spicy brown mustard. I was trying to think what else to put on it but it was gone before I could come up with anything.
Edit: Oops, this was supposed to be a reply to the original post.
re: linguafood
Hmm, I've had juniper-flavored sausages/charcuterie but I'm not sure I've had speck (or its equivalent). Alsatian-German pizza... :-) ... sounds nice!
re: huiray
While I still prefer a good Neapolitan-style pizza, such as the one below, tarte flambée is a nice change of pace. It's great with a glass of fat Riesling or Weissburgunder.

Big bowl of beef broth (stock) with thin-cut/shaved ribeye, sliced cooked leaf tripe, fistfuls of trimmed Thai basil & culantro, and quartered mini red & yellow sweet peppers.
leftovers from last night's dinner
"Thai-ish" chicken (marinated chicken in coconut milk, red curry, lemongrass, brown sugar, lime zest and I can't remember what else I threw in there) and then grilled it, and boiled the marinating liquid...
with rice and stir fried pea pods, just enough left for lunch today (it seems to have gotten even hotter than it was for dinner last night... not that I'm complainig)
Today's lunch was braunschweiger, swiss cheese and yellow mustard on Beefsteak Rye. I picked up two loaves of seeded Beefsteak Rye when we were in NY last weekend. It's not sold anywhere here in West Georgia, and some grocery stores don't carry any rye at all! I hadn't realized how much I like Beefsteak until I moved South (from Indiana) and couldn't get it anymore.
Way too much pimiento cheese on Triscuits, way too many cherries and grapes. Dinner is SO off.
I skipped breakfast (just Pepsi, coffee and water). So I had breakfast for lunch--fried egg and melted cheese on a fresh croissant toasted lightly. A few chunks of pineapple.
Steamed dressed black sea bass (Heh, the price of the raw fresh fish came out to $8.88)
drizzled with heated oil
sauced with soy sauce+shaoshing wine+sesame oil+dash of white pepper+sugar
strewn with julienned scallions and fresh ginger
Fresh "Fa Koo" [fat thick shiitake mushroom variety with a star pattern on the cap] slow-stewed with smashed garlic sautéed in peanut oil & a few smashed-up cubes of "Fu Yee" [wet bean curd in rice wine, salt, water] in chicken stock; with lengthwise-halved leaves of "Wong Nga Pak" [Napa cabbage, heavy thick white stems with largely whitish/pale green leafy parts] added towards the end.
Boiled white rice (Basmati).
J&B Whiskey on the rocks.

re: goodhealthgourmet
Coming back to life. I think the jerky did it. On to Frito Pie.
A ragù-like/inspired sauce** served over fresh spaghettini (yum#1) then fresh pappardelle (yum#2).
** Brunoise of yellow onions, sautéed in olive oil till just browning; ground chuck added, stirred & broken up; Heinz tomato ketchup and Lea & Perrin Worcestershire sauce added, mixture stirred & sautéed, chopped vine-ripe tomatoes added, a couple of bay leaves, mixture banged around; chopped destringed celery added & the mixture stirred & simmered a bit; Kikkoman soy sauce + Pearl River light soy sauce added, followed by Japanese rice wine vinegar. Oregano & thyme added later. Simmered till judged "done" then rested a bit before serving.
re: huiray
Sounds dang good, huiray. I love making waaaay too much (is there such a thing?) pasta sauce for multiple uses; different pastas, as a minestrone base, and for pastascuitta.
Lunch today was leftover pork chop (teriyaki-marinated) over the rest of the rice noodles, which I mixed w/ thinly-sliced celery, cucumber strips, chopped cilantro, green onions and basil and dressed w/ nuoc cham. Topped with crushed peanuts just for grins.
re: huiray
Finally! I was going to get on you for only eating "Asian" foods! Sorry, I couldn't help it . . . I'm missing the Top Chef threads ;)
Today a friend and I split a small Margherita pizza and a large salad with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
re: gaffk
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8491... http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8491...
And that's just on this thread and excluding those meals I reported where I had Western meals done with Chinese flourishes. Just FYI.
In any case I am not a competitor on a Western-cuisine cooking competition. I wasn't aware that anyone here was obliged to not eat only one type of food. I'm Chinese, and I do eat a lot of Chinese and SE Asian foods; but I dare say you don't know what I eat in the meals I don't report here. Y'know, I could just as easily ask why any number of folks here ate ONLY Western or European food. Hmm?
That thing about certain competitors on TC cooking "only Asian" has always, always been an infuriating issue - besides being completely untrue - and has been hashed over repeatedly and pointedly on those threads. Yet it seems as if all the pointing out of the fallacy of such accusations simply don't register with certain folks who are insistent that those competitors do cook "only Asian". There was also the issue with certain competitors who considered that anything that was touched by soy sauce instantly became an "Asian" dish and their declaring it with curled lip. Then there was the pointed commentary on these boards about what the heck is meant by "Asian", and why there are no accusations of some competitors cooking only "European". Ah well. To each his or her own. :-|
re: huiray
I hesitated before hitting "Post," as I know sarcasm does not always translate on the web. I was trying to be funny at the expense of those on the TC threads who vociferously support chefs who only do Italian or Spanish while disparaging those who *only* do Asian (yeah, just a multitude of Chinese cuisines, Korean, Thai, Japanese . . . ) If a chef *only* did European (French, German, Italian, Spanish . . .) they'd be rock stars who do a multitude of cuisines.
I still miss the TC threads. (Ilan a winner and Angelo not? WTF?)
re: gaffk
Ah. Well, TCM is returning July 25 (http://eater.com/archives/2012/05/24/...), while the new season of TC is supposedly in the works. in the meanwhile there's that "Around The World in 80 Plates" Survivor clone to hash over if one pleases. :-)
re: huiray
Sorry, I started reading that thread when it started but it turns out I'm not even interested in reading about it, much less actually watching.
I'm about to have potato pancakes (potato, onion, apple grated with some sugar, salt, 1 egg, a little milk, wholegrain flour) and a salad of lettuce, fava beans, and grated carrots in lemon.
re: mamachef
Black Cherry soda AND a turtle brownie? I'm jealous.
I just had a chicken quesadilla and ice water.
It began as a classic decadent burger: grilled sirloin, toasted bun, pimiento cheese, sliced tomatoes and bread and butter pickles. Unfortunately it was waaaaay too much food (though it was a perfect burger; med-rare, rosy, well-seasoned, and juicy) and I had to ditch the bun part in favor of some home pickled beets. And a Martinelli's mango lemonade, crushed ice.
Steamed pork dumplings from a streetside stand, dipped in black vinager and chile paste. Washed down with a liter of Tsingtao beer.
As I posted on the breakfast thread, today was Farmer's Market day. I picked up a baguette from the local French bakery. These things are the real deal, thick floury crust with a soft center full of air holes. At the dairy farmer's stand I got a local garlic and chive cheese and a salted butter--the cows are exclusively grass-fed and so the butter and cheese have a distinctive funkiness. Hence lunch was three slices of baguette with butter and three with farm-fresh cheese. Sometimes, simple is best.
2 slices of hot oil and pepperoni pizza leftover from dinner Thursday at Colony grill. For those not in the area, it is an ultra thin crispy crust. The hot oil is a jalapeno infused oil that the pizza is kind of bathed in as it bakes. The level of heat varies, so it is a bit of an adventure to order it, but I cannot resist it.

Old Trafford buzzed with anticipation at the return of a true European giant – and the first-ever Champions League game between these two sides didn't disappoint…
In a nutshell: The taste of things to come in Europe for Sir Alex's men. United hammered Barça early and took a deserved lead when former Blaugranes boy Mark Hughes powered home a header from Lee Sharpe's inviting cross. But back came Barcelona and hit United with two sucker punches either side of the break through Romario and Jose Bakero. Not to be deterred, the Reds brought on Paul Scholes for his European debut, poured forward and Sharpe rescued a point with an impish backheel 10 minutes from time.
Star man: Fleet-footed Sharpe was outstanding all night, delivering the kind of classic left-wing display that made him a darling of the Stretford End. Taking full advantage of an injury to Ryan Giggs, he ran Barcelona's experienced European campaigners ragged – in particular Luis, who was withdrawn at half-time.
Key moment: Sharpe's skilfully flicked equaliser, which he considers his favourite Reds goal, was richly deserved and maintained United's unbeaten European record at home. "Like Denis Law in his pomp", was how The Independent's Glenn Moore

|El archivo [REGLAMENTO DEPORTIVO KART PLUS 2013.pdf] no ha sido encontrado (o Snuff pornography involves the actual death of any of the participants, consenting or otherwise, simulated death is not considered snuff. These scenes may involve the female actor calling for the shot to be directed at some specific part of her body. When all regions of the face are included, facial cum shots comprise approximately 62% of scenes where external ejaculation occurs. Group sex is sexual behavior involving more than two participants. Babysitter pornography features usually teenage girls being exploited and having taboo sex with older, male employers. It may also involve touching, rubbing, or pinching the nipples or other erogenous zones while masturbating. Big Beautiful Woman is a euphemism for an overweight woman and is frequently used in the context of fat fetishism. Men may find stimulation of the anus, rectum, and adjacent organs enjoyable. Amateur porn has been called one of the most profitable and long-lasting genres of pornography. Watersports pornography features sexual activities involving urine, such as golden showers. The term is a slang word that originated in the gay community and comes from the equestrian mature milfs term bareback, which refers to the practice of riding a horse without a saddle. It is mutual consent that makes a clear legal and ethical distinction between BDSM and such crimes as sexual assault or domestic violence. Matsuo used amateur actresses in his videos, and he usually traveled to their hometowns for the filming. Bisexual pornography is a genre of pornography which most typically depicts one woman and two men who all perform sex acts on each other. But starting with The World Biggest Gangbang , starring Annabel Chong, the pornographic industry began producing a series of films ostensibly setting gangbang records for most consecutive sex acts by one person in a short period. Group sex can occur between people of all sexual orientations and genders. Saliva pornography involves salivation and saliva. For legal reasons, the vast majority of so-called reality porn involves professional actors and actresses posing as so-called amateurs.

MADRID — Like many of the immigrants who flocked to Spain not long ago, Klever Cordova was enticed by the prospect of easy employment and easy credit — the chance to leave behind the troubled economy of his native Ecuador and become a homeowner in a booming euro-zone country.
That was six years ago, before the collapse of the miracle that was the Spanish real estate market and the country's slide into economic hardship. His job as a highway construction worker is long gone, and his $300,000 mortgage is now one more bit of straw in a load of bad debt that is weighing down Spain's banks, undermining hopes of an economic recovery and raising new perils for the global financial system.

Cruiser bicycles have been popular out there for a very long while. You may not even know that their history goes far back in time, to the post-Great Depression years, when most of the American families could not even afford a bike. 80 years back, when the first cruiser bicycles appeared, they were quite innovative for their era. With larger tiers, with heavy steel frames and with a seat that was more comfortable than other bikes, these ones were created for the average Americans, especially since their prices were quite low for those days. And although the popularity of the cruiser bikes has seen its ups and downs, they are still famous out there and they are still among the favorite bikes bought and used by the large majority of Americans.
One of the things that make these beach cruiser bikes so popular is precisely the fact that they are not pricy at all. Nowadays, you can buy a beach cruiser with as low as $120 and you can reap all its benefits. If you compare this price to the prices practiced for other types of bikes (which can get as high as $300 for the cheapest one), cruiser bikes are still budget-friendly and this makes them a great choice for the American families.
Another thing that makes cruiser bicycles so popular is related to their history. Since they are some of the oldest items made in the USA, many people feel nostalgic about them. Many of the baby boomers (who are parents themselves today) have owned one such bike at a certain point during their childhood and feel nostalgic about them (thus, they either purchase one for them or they purchase one for their children). Even more, the fascination people have started to have with retro and vintage items have brought the cruiser bike back into their attention.
Last, but most certainly not least, cruiser bikes are extremely popular because they are enjoyable to use. Nowadays, there are even more designs than 80 years ago and regardless of how you like to ride your bike, regardless of your sex, regardless of your age and regardless of what types of colors you prefer, you will find a model to suit you. Even more, the modern cruiser bikes have designs that are suitable for multiple ways of sitting in them: upright, relaxed, slouched and so on. All these features make these bikes popular among many people from all walks of life.

Monster Chase
I've never been this scared in my life. The last time I was half as scared was when the bigger monster was rotating me at top speed, tightening my muscles, squeezing my length into a tense ball.
And now, this monster is chasing me, in a steed no less! The monster is huge and furry. It's got white hair and a patch of black hair on its right eye. It looks like a dangerous pirate, but one who's not creating havoc in the sea, rather in a monster house.
I'm rolling on the floor, feeling dizzy as the monster is pushing me. The stupid furniture is coming in my path. I bang here and bang there and the monster has a good laugh!
I feel like vomiting, my muscles are loosening, the stiffness of my body is melting away, and I think I'm growing tall. Mother sure would have been proud, only if she weren't stitched up with that rough wool Uncle Staid in a sweater that stinks of Staid odour!
I have a plan.
I know I can't avoid rolling- for the monster is huge- but I can trick it. So I hold on to furniture pieces- with my body that's growing longer roll by roll � to create a web. C'mon monster, I yell secretly.
The monster raises its hand and runs behind me to give me another whack. But its too late, it's caught in the web, the web of my body!
Suddenly the monster that had squeezed my length into a ball appeared with a black box and began clicking away excitedly. The excited monster moved its joints and I heard something which sounded like, 'Kitty, look at you. You're stuck in the web of wool from the very yarn that you were chasing! Hahahaha'
Mom, I won! I bet my photo will be in the papers, because I think the monster is carrying a camera which lights up like a tube light!
I smile teasing my victim in monster lingo, 'Kitty, Na Na Na Na Na Na!' and roll about in celebration, not caring about how dizzy I feel.
Prompt: Write from the point of view of a yarn of wool being chased by a cat!

Local developers have announced plans to build a large aquarium in Bel Aire.
The building site will be near 53rd Street North and Rock Road. It's part of a 220,000 square foot sports training academy and destination resort water park that developers say will bring in 5 million tourists each year.
Developers call that number conservative and expect more people than they can handle. The goal is to make the center a one-stop shop.
The project will rely on STAR bond financing, which uses sales tax revenue paid in advance in order to fund the project. Once the project is finished, taxes generated are paid back to the state.

The make-up and amount of feed given to chicken is very important to their growth cycle. In fact, it's a science. Farmers are very careful about what they feed their flocks at different times of their growth cycle. For example, a feed that is too energy-rich can cause the birds grow too fast, which lead to growing problems.
What's in Chicken Feed?
Chicken feeds are mostly prepared in specialized feed mills. They come under the jurisdiction of the Canada Feeds Act and are subject to government inspections. There is no advantage to the miller or to the farmer not to produce or use a quality feed. Before it is put on the market, chicken meat is checked for quality, absence of disease and antibacterial residues.
The main ingredient of all chicken feed (over 88%) is grains and grain by-products, protein-producing seeds, and meal made from them such as canola or soybean meal. So, in essence, all chicken is "grain fed." In much smaller quantities (around 10%), various other protein sources such as meat and bone meal/vegetable fats, are added to improve the nutritional content, taste and texture of the feed. In much, much smaller quantities (1.5%), mineral and vitamin supplements are commonly added to prevent any nutrient deficiencies.
Chicken feed may also contain minute levels (less than 1 per cent) of additives such as enzymes and antibiotics to prevent disease and digestive problems. All of these additives are subject to strict regulations and are used in conjunction with good management, vaccination and hygiene practices. In Canada, the use of hormones and steroids in the poultry industry has been banned since the 1960s.

Students at Valley City State University got the chance to present projects they have been working on over the 2011-2012 school year at the Scholar Symposium on Thursday.
Nearly three dozen students presented to a panel of 21 judges that included VCSU faculty and staff on topics ranging from the North Dakota dairy industry to classical music and literary analysis.
"It's an annual event and it's the best works from the fall semester and the spring semester," said Jodi Shorma, VCSU instructor and the symposium's coordinator.
It has been said that "Life is to be lived forward, and understood backwards." That is so hard for most of us! We want to understand first. Whenever we face a problem or challenge, we want to know the details and know "why?" from the start. But life doesn't let us read ahead. We have to wait for it to be lived. Hopefully in time, answers will be clearer.

A Valley City native sunk the 29th hole-in-one at Bjornson Public Golf Course on Wednesday.
Tom Kellogg said the experience was "Quite a trip.
"I was golfing with a co-worker out here, when we got to Hole 2 he had a 5-iron and he hit it too far and I had a 7, so I figured I might club up to a 6. When I hit it, it looked kind of short but the way it bounced we both new it was on the green."
When the two drove up to the green in their golf cart, they had trouble finding Kellogg's shot. His fellow golfer suggested it might have gone in the hole, and Kellogg thought he was joking.
Valley City was well-represented at the North Country Region Junior Olympic Volleyball Championships last weekend in Jamestown. Valley City's 14U team lost its opening matches to Mandan and the Bismarck-based ND Premier, but beat North Fargo and Jamestown to win the Bronze Division championship. The team, which includes players from both the Valley City and Barnes County North school districts, wraps up its season this weekend and has medaled in three of five tournaments.
The Valley City High School girls basketball team honored its standout performers April 22. Pictured are (back) Megan McDaniel, Amanda Tangen, Allyson Suhr, Jenna Jacob; and (front) Clarissa Olson, Jessica Denholm and Tori Enstad. Suhr led the team with four awards, including MVP (voted on by the team) and for leading the team in points, rebounds, and blocks. Jacob won the Hi-Liner Coaches award and led the team in steals. McDaniel led the Hi-Liners in assists, Enstad led the team in free throw percentage.
William Jansen Invitational results
The Valley City High School girls and boys track and field teams took the second and 10th places, respectively, at the William Jansen Invitational meet Tuesday in Valley City.
The boys were led by pole vaulter Paul Viland, who took second with a vault of 12 feet, 6 inches. Distance runner Nick Lee took third in the 1,600 meter run and sixth in the 3,200 meter run.
Seniors Jenna Jacob and Allyson Suhr led the girls team, each getting a win.
Jacob won the 200 meter dash in 26.88 seconds and Suhr won the 3,200 in 12:26.38.
