McCormick & Kuleto's Seafood Restaurant
Online Reservations
The location can't be beat, staff was very accommodating. I was expecting the food to be more extraordinary. I suppose I just had higher expectations for a great San Francisco dining experience. The room and view were beautiful. I know there are smaller restaurants with better food but didn't have the time to find one. All in all our group had a very enjoyable dining experience.
McCormick & Kuletos restaurant at the San Francisco wharf has an incredible view of the SF Bay, wonderful dishes and exceptional service. Brunch on a Sunday morning is an especially great time to take in the view and enjoy a nice glass of champagne and Eggs Benedict with Salmon. There's also a very good bar for late night cocktails, big screens with sporting events, and special occasions such as Halloween. Great all-around dining establishment!
Spent a great leisurely 90 minutes for a late lunch and early cocktails overlooking the Bay great service and food was excellent.
Excellent food and view! There menu is on the pricey side but the view is awesome. We had a great dinner and what'd the sun set over the water! I would go here again. The wheelchair access is off of Larkin St. Through their bar area. Larkin St is a steep hill, however once inside both dining levels are accessible!
Dinner with great friends, outstanding, bar, food and service. Beautiful view
While waiting at the bar for our table to open up, the bar tender seemed more concern about making money than providing good service.
This meal was probably the BEST meal of my entire life. I called and requested a nice table for a special occasion for my anniversary, they saved us an AMAZING table. Not only was the table and view incredible, the food was unbelievable. They also have a great wine list and our server was incredibly nice. This meal was truly an amazing dining experience and I cannot wait to return.
The location is outstanding. Lovely view over the bay. The food was good too, and a reasonable price given the quality.
It was my son & his wife's 20th anniversary and I mentioned this when making the reservation. The maitre D handed us personalized menus with congratulations on top - very fun! The food was enjoyed by all! We had the Shrimp Crostini appetizer that was wonderful! The main dishes were delicious and the desserts were all tempting - we chose the Espresso Creme Brulee and the German Chocolate cake - Superb!
Overlooking the water and a great view of Alcatraz- superb service and fantastic food- On the expensive side, but well worth it for those "special ocassions"
We booked a table for our anniversary. First impressions weren't great since, although many empty tables, no one was being seated - apparently the person greeting wasn't empowered to seat people. Finally got a nice table with view and met Bert, our wonderful waiter. He really made the evening special and it didn't hurt that Pier 39 supplied fireworks for our anniversary!
We started out as just wanting to taste the food. But, we got there and the fireworks began (literally). It was my big brother's birthday and we had found the perfect place to celebrate! The food was outstanding! The wine was outstanding! The service was outstanding! McCormick's and Kuleto's is all Excellence. Our waiter was helpful, very nice yet professional. The restaurant printed "Happy Birthday" on the top of our menu's with my big brother's name/date. We were flabbergasted!! He's a gourmet chef by trade; so this was just really heaven for him ..:) We started into our dinner, looked out our window where we were seated...and there was fireworks. How perfect was that! What an awesome birthday celebration! I want to go back!
Went here for brunch. The food was good. The service was EXCELLENT. The views were PRICELESS! This is a great place to have a relaxing brunch and visit with family and friends.
2 things are very positive in this restaurant: a-The lobster THermidor b- The view over San Franscico Baye. It is a pity though that around a table of 4 , only 2 guests can see the baye.
We had not been back in 5+ years and it has gotten better than we remembered. Simply outstanding personal service and food of course. Most professional staff we seen anywhere n a very long time and our waiter anticipated our every need and tocare of it before being asked, The whole team worked seamlessly !
Ho trovato questo locale, guardando un reportage di national geografic dove parlava molto bene del buon cibo e dell'ottima vista. Così é stato , i piatti che abbiamo scelto sono stati di ottima qualità , il cameriere al nostro tavolo é stato gentile, non insistente come in altri posti e l'ambiente era davvero molto carino senza troppi fronzoli... Accessibile come prezzi e consiglio vivamente l'ottimo pesce!!
I took 5 of our "conference guests" here during one of our evening dinners and while I was impressed with all other aspects of the restaurant I was not impressed when our waiter "went missing" and our table wasn't attended to. Although I rate service on a number of factors, 2 very important ones for me have always been 1) How many times do I have to "ask" for more water? 2) How long before my plate is cleared. Although I had to signal for water only once, our waiter never asked the 3 "non-drinkers" at the table if they would like more tea or lemonade. I've never seen such a thing, especially for iced tea! One of our "drinkers" had to ask twice for a second beer as well. I expected better service to accompany the premium prices.
We were given a gift card for this restaurant, so when we were visiting San Francisco we decided it should be our 'last night' restaurant. Service was superb, the food was wonderful and the ambiance was perfect for our last evening out on vacation. We had a wonderful table that overlooked the bay and we were treated to a fireworks show while eating. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends.
Beautiful location, great menu, great food, service excellent!
We have been going here for years for special occasions and have always had great service and great food. The clam chowder is amazing along with pretty much every type of seafood on their menu. They will personalize the menus for special occasions as well and the views of the bay and the fact that it is in a great area (Ghirardhelli Square) make it a beautiful place to sit and have dinner and walk around after.
made our time there special. daughter and friends get the window table and the personalized menus (a real hit) and mom and dad a nice table for two within striking distance. good food. great view
This is always a restaurant you can count on for a great meal!!!!
it was enjoyable and the service people were attentive.
A very pleasant and affordable dining experience. Best wine prices I have seen in 20 years of dining and definitely the best in SanFrancisco. I will go back.
My annual free Veterans Day dinner. Thank you, the food is always outstanding. The prices are a little high. I payed for my wife's dinner, sodas, and a shared desert them we usually do on both of us. Good for that special occasion.
It Was A Perfect Night Out For A Veterans Day Dinner! Staff & Service Were Excellent, Food Was Delicious!
I went to this restaurant twice and the service was fabulous. Great ambient light, bay front view and outstanding food. Could not ask for a better place than McCormick!
Food was excellent. Maitre d was very aloof ask always. Needs better people skills. We have eaten there everytime we are in San Francisco and be never remembers us. We Love the chain and are acknowledged at their other restaurants.
This is our fifth year of attending the Veteran's Salute and this restaurant remains true to them. My husband had the grilled salmon and I had the fish and chips. Both dishes were very good. The food was hot and my fish was very crispy. Thank you so much for honoring veterans annually.
We have enjoyed our several visits to McCormack & Kuleto. It is one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco. The food is very good, the service is excellent and the view of the bay is exceptional. We would recommend it to anyone wanting a very good restaurant with an excellent view.
I am an Afghanistan war veteran, and I continue to serve in the Army Reserve. I appreciate the annual veteran's appreciation meal at your fine restaurant. While dining on your delicious foods, I saw many veterans who served during WWII, Korean War, Gulf War, and the Vietnam War from based on their hats and clothing. Thank you for a job well done!!
Twelve of us veterans dined immediately after participating in the SF Veterans Day Parade at McCormick & Kuletos. The service was great and the selection of meals offered to us was outstanding. All of us really enjoy the food, ambiance, and looking out directly at menu pier and Alcatraz. We each had a cocktail prior to seating. A few of us ordered seconds from the bar. We will be back next year.
I haven't had lobster Thermidor in ages. I was awed by the presentation but the taste of the lobster with the sauce was divine.
I dined with co-workers and we were all in town for a work event. Having never been to San Francisco we dined on the recommendation of a local. Great views of the water and bridge and great menu.
This is one of my most favorite restaurants in San Francisco! Every time we dine here in Food and service are excellent! The view is fabulous and the staff are very attentive and helpful! When we go to San Francisco again for business or for leisure we will definitely dine here again. Ghirardelli Square is a great place to visit and the view of The bay is very nice as well! This restaurant is part of The Landry's chain so you not only earn here with booking the reservation through open table but earn points through Landry's as well!My kids enjoy eating the seafood as do I! We will definitely come back again and again!
This restaurant is one I make a point to visit whenever I am in San Francisco. The food is always very good. The view is remarkable. A sunset over the San Francisco Bay is an unbelievable sight.whether a romantic dinner for two or a larger group, this restaurant has never failed to deliver excellence.
Food was extremely tasty - service was fantastic - with a view of the Bay
We were with out of town guests. We all very much appreciated the wonderful view of San Francisco bay along with the great food and service. Portions were so generous that two of us (the two women) couldn't eat it all.
We really enjoyed this restaurant. I was taking my friend out for her birthday and I chose this place cause we both had not been there. She had a wonderful time and so did I. The food was amazing!! The service was wonderful the restaurant was very nice. Thanks again for the lovely experience.
Restaurant great, Waiter great, Bus Boys great, Hostesses upon arrivals Total Fail A little friendlier, would have been too much for them. Told to wait until my group arrived spent 45 mins at the front door when all arrived at time of reservation they say we will just be a bit as they are setting your table! I said are you kidding I've been waiting so long and it's time for my reservation. She said omits one minute to seven so I will have to wait. Let's just say the weak link in this place is the first impression !
We spent Thanksgiving in San Francisco this year and had our Thanksgiving day dinner at McCormick & Kuleto's we had a wonderful dinner with a beautiful bay view.
We picked a great restaurant for thanksgiving dinner. Everything was wonderful. Turkey dinner delicious and the view will never be forgotten!. This restaurant will always be on my top ten list.
Perfection, as usual. Great food and spectacular service. A little on the noisy side, though.
A gorgeous day to dine out in a beautiful restaurant with a fabulous view. Our waiter was excellent, a little reserved at first, but we won him over and he had a great sense of humor. The service was great and the food was very good. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed the meal, the fact that we weren't rushed in any way. The side dishes were really really good. Only complaint, a little more gravy would have been nice, other than that, it was a very nice Thanksgiving Treat
Excellent experience; made reservations initially for two, but had to change to four, ended up with FIVE guests, no problem....we were immediately accommodated. The view was incredible overlooking the SF Bay and Alcatraz. The menus came "personalized" due to the advance notice of the Birthday event wishing the celebrant a Happy 55th Birthday! The food was exquisite; my encrusted sturgeon was the bomb, whereas two of our guests ordered the Cioppino and were very pleased!
Our last night in San Francisco and we find this place. It was great. Food was good, staff friendly, and the ambience was great. Book a table to ensure you get in!
PERFECT PLACE TO DINE BY THE BAY - WARMLY GREETED,GREAT SEATING BY THE WINDOW WITH VIEW OF THE BAY, GREAT SERVICE AND THE FOOD WAS JUST PLAIN GOOD IN EVERY RESPECT AND CONSIDERING BAY AREA DINING PRICES WE FELT McCormick & Kuleto's WAS A GREAT VALUE - THIS PLACE DELIVERED AND WE WILL COME BACK ON OUR NEXT TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Whenever I'm in the mood for seafood for lunch I almost always find myself here. On top of the great seafood options there is hardly a better view of the San Francisco bay. The service has always been of a high standard and the staff are friendly and attentive.
I booked this restaurant for a large group of friends as an after party of my engagement. Considering the prices, the food, as most reviewers suggest, was just okay. But the service was wonderful, and the view of the bay from the restaurant windows is gorgeous. I recommend it to anyone who is going to have special events there.

Here's what I thought:
Oh but you meant Thanos, I think its perfect and you have to have someone on his power level to face them considering Thor and Hulk can take on almost all comers anyway.
He's a cosmic level threat.
The Stranger: Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

I realize I'm putting this here for you to read... but please, don't talk about it.
the only thing i didnt like was how they had the Hulk walk like gorilla.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

"one night"
very friendly staff and pleasantly helpful.wi-fi was easily accessible.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Conveniently located and pleasantly surprised!"
After reading the mixed reviews I booked a 2 day stay for my family of 5 by calling hotels.com directly. They were very helpful in booking this way. I was hoping the information about 'new management' meant good things. I was very happy and surprised with this hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. We needed more towels and an extra blanket (A/C […] was VERY cold) and they were provided quickly and politely. We also opted for a fridge and microwave, both in new condition. The pool was clean and refreshing and was just what we needed after a 100 degree day! It's set in the middle of the property in kind of like a park setting so there is privacy from outside viewing. The hotel is still renovating so, no on-site food (only drink machine) but it is conveniently located in the area and is close to just about anything you may need, even bowling! I suggest Coyote Sam's Bar and Grille for a near by restaurant that's got great food and decent prices. Overall, a good experience and I would take my family there again if need be.

Drove around it for 30 min because it's signs still say Ramada. Found it when we finally stopped to ask them where the Magnuson was. Hotel was beautiful once upon a time, but was let run down badly. Our room was wonderful, clean and fully supplied with everything you could need. Bed was great. But, pool was green, restaurant was long closed, and back […] doors to main entrance were locked so you had to walk or drive all the way around to get to the front desk. Landscape and exterior was in sad shape. Too bad, so sad. Still, would recommend. Quiet and good room is all that's needed for overnite, and that we got. :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Not horrible. It was an inexpensive place to crash. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, the room was clean albeit older and dated, but overall it's tolerable. It's not the Ritz but for about 1/2 of what the surrounding hotels were charging I consider it a good value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"A good quite place"
This hotel was located in a nice quite spot. I had a very restful night of sleep.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This place is actually a Ramada Inn. This is the worst place I have ever stayed. I had a reservation for a king bed and sleeper sofa, what I got (after a confrontation with hotel management) was a king bed and roll a way bed. The room smelled like mold and mildew, which is a big deal for someone with allergies. There were two towels for three people […] to shower. Bathroom door would not shut. This place should not even be on hotels.com list. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a very old hotel that is in need of some serious repairs - there were very large cracks in walls and ceiling, towel racks were ripped out of the wall, had to plug in lamps and even the phone.

There were no wash cloths in our room, but we go over that. The service was fantastic! The breakfast in the Veranda was awesome! We may come back to this hotel just for the food and service.Genuine Expedia guest review
Customer Service NIGHTMARE! Upon checking in bugs in room, and outlook email would not send.

The staff was friendly, the room was nice and clean. The most comfortable bed ever. But the pool was closed due to the height of the fence. The fitness room was also closed during our visit. We were not happy about that.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good experience"
Pros: The hotel was in a perfect location. The hotel Lobby looked clean and was modern looking. The night clerk called to check to see if we got in the room and if we were satisfied and needed anything. Cons: There were pot holes in the parking lot and it seemed like there need to be some maintenance issues fixed out side the motel. The motel and room […] looked very out of date.

Caramel Apple Upside Down Noodle Kugel and Part 18
December 14, 2012 at 7:04 am | Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Fruit, Giveaway, Holiday, Lunch, Pasta, Puddings | 46 CommentsTags: apples, caramel, cottage cheese, Egg Noodles, Hanukkah, noodle kugel, sour cream, upside-down noodle kugel
So, it's the 7th night of Hanukkah and I'm finally putting a Hanukkah post up. Why so late, you ask? (as if 'late' isn't the norm for me) – because Thursday night was the first Hanukkah dinner we had at home and I didn't cook or bake anything prior to that.
Yes, I know.. Hanukkah is associated with foods fried in oil, such as latkes and sfganiyot (jelly or whatever filling suits your fancy – filled doughnut) to commemorate the miracle of a one-day supply of oil miraculously burning and giving light for eight days. But, obviously we don't just eat fried foods to celebrate Hanukkah, a misconception a former coworker of mine had for years..resulting in her scolding me for ordering a tuna salad sandwich for lunch several years ago..
"Lisa, give me that sandwich..you're only supposed to eat fried foods during Hanukkah – get some fries!"
I'm dead serious.
One treat that my family always served during Hanukkah is sweet noodle kugel, also called Lokshen kugel or noodle pudding. We enjoyed a good noodle kugel several times a year, but for some reason, it seemed the best noodle kugel always came at Hanukkah, the big one in the 13 x 9 pan, loaded with apples and/or raisins.
I don't like raisins in my noodle kugel, so I was the one with the pile of raisins on the side of my plate..picking them out one by one. annihilating my perfect, little square of kugel.
Lovely visual, huh?
It was usually served alongside a brisket or roasted chicken..the sweet and savory always a treat..like candied sweet potatoes with turkey. Those are two holiday dinner pairings I crave every single year.
Having said all that, there are so many variations for sweet noodle kugel, I wouldn't even know where to start, so I'll keep it brief. Some just use eggs as a binder, some use eggs plus pot or cottage cheese, some use eggs plus pot or cottage cheese and sour cream, and some use eggs plus pot or cottage cheese, sour cream AND cream cheese. Some even add a corn flake, brown sugar and butter crumble on top.
I don't know if there's an ongoing debate about which version is the most authentic, but I always make mine the way my maternal grandma did…with eggs plus cottage cheese and sour cream. The addition of fruit and/or nuts and, err..a corn flake crumble topping.. is entirely up to you.
SO, I took my grandma's recipe and added a pretty amazing twist to it..melted butter, brown sugar and sliced apples on the bottom of the pan, noodles on top – the same method used to make upside-down cakes. The cream in the custard seeps into the butter soaked brown sugar, giving the apples a wonderful caramel/butterscotch flavor.
I'm never making it any other way again, unless someone doesn't like apples.
Caramel Apple Upside-Down Noodle Kugel
1 pound wide egg noodles
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Granny Smith or cooking/baking apples of your choice, peeled, cored and sliced
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar
1. Grease the sides of a 13 x 9 baking dish with butter.
2. Boil the noodles in salted water for about 4 minutes. Strain noodles and shake until dry. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients up to the salt. I use a food processor to make a smooth custard, but mixing it with a spoon or whisk is fine.
3. Pour the custard over the noodles, mix well, and set aside. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
4. Pour the stick of melted butter over the bottom of the baking dish then top with the cup of brown sugar, pressing it down so it soaks up the butter. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the brown sugar.
5. Give the noodles another toss and pour over apples. Distribute them evenly. Cover top of dish with buttered tin foil. Since it's an upside-down kugel..if you don't cover it the whole hour, the usual crunchy noodle top, which is traditional.. would be on the bottom and get soggy.
6. Bake until the custard is set, about 1 hour.
7. If you have a platter larger than 13 x 9 inches, flip the noodle kugel on to the platter, as you would an upside down cake. If not, let cool, then cut slices and flip them over on to plates. Tastes great warm or cold.
I'm submitting my noodle kugel to Month;y Mingle, founded by Meeta of What's For Lunch, Honey?..hosted this month by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking – theme – Christmas/Holiday sweets. The deadline is December 31st, 2012..so lots of time to join in! Click the photo below to read the rules.
Well..finally Bad Boy First Love, Part 18 is here..and it isn't the end…it's the first part of a two part end. You see, when I originally started BBFL, it was only supposed to go to two or three parts, but then something sad happened and I extended it because writing it helped quell my grief immensely. Once the grief subsided, and a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while said to me..
"LISA..what the hell are you doing? You just aired a very private, precious memory to anyone and everyone! Are you crazy??"
Then he added..
"..PLUS, just think of some of the people from your past and present who will be reading it! You're letting these bad people into a deep, personal moment from your life!"
…and, the hurricane .or super storm, rather….I suddenly had a hard time writing it..I couldn't get back into that zone.
Well..I finally got back into that zone and I could care less if creeps from my past and/or present read it.
If you're just tuning in, Part One is HERE, Part Two is HERE , Part Three is HERE, Part Four is HERE, Part Five is HERE, Part Six is HERE, Part Seven is HERE, Part 8 is HERE, Part 9 is HERE, Part Ten is HERE, Part 11 is HERE, Part 12 is HERE, Part 13A is HERE, Part 13B is HERE, Part 14A is HERE, Part 14B is HERE , Part 15 is HERE, Part 16 is HERE and Part 17 is HERE.
He dragged the box across my cheek into my waiting hand, which I'd lifted to my cheek to feel the box. Then I asked the stupid question we all ask with gift in hand, turning it over and over, shaking it..
"What is it?"
Why do we always ask this question with gift in hand? Why on earth would the gifter tell us what it is before we open it?
I still ask this question, while shaking the gift, to this day.
He gave the usual reply to the stupid question..
"Open it and see"
I slowly opened the box. For some strange reason, I wasn't even thinking 'ring' or 'marriage proposal'.
I opened the box slowly. It was a delicate gold band with a very, very small diamond and two even tinier diamonds on each side of it.
Before I could say anything..he spoke first..
"Look, this isn't the real ring, I can't afford that now, but it's a ring to let you know what my intentions are. We'll move in together once you finish college, then get married, or get married first..whichever you want"
Boy, he had it all planned out, didn't he? Did I even have a say? It was the strangest duality of feelings. Part of me was excited since I did want to marry him one day, but the other part of me was scared. I was too young to be saddled with such an assertive, definitive life plan.
Then I remembered what he told me his father said to him the summer before my freshman year of college..
"You can't expect her not to meet and date others at such a young age, unless you put a ring on her finger"
Was this ring a 'stay faithful to me' ring?
It didn't matter..it wasn't an official engagement ring, so I told no one. I wore it when I was with him, but when I got back to school, I took it off and pushed into a velvety ring slot in my jewelry box for a long slumber, until I went home again. The last thing I needed was questions…especially from hockey guy, who I'd been seeing on and off….there was a pull between us that just wouldn't quit.
I knew deep down Dreamboat was probably seeing others...promise ring or not, especially since it was so hard to maintain a long distance relationship, especially due to his disdain of long phone conversations. Short and sweet was best, but not always best for the relationship.
When I came home for Christmas/Winter break, I told him of my plans to head to Florida for Spring Break – a decision made just 2 weeks prior. He wasn't happy..
"So that means I won't see you for 5 months"
"No, I can probably come home one or two weekends.."
He interrupted…
"But that's two days at a clip, sweetheart"
"Yeah, but we have two weeks together now!" I said, choosing to remain positive. I really wanted to experience Spring Break..regardless of how much I loved him.
He hugged me and smiled. We had an amazing Winter break together and like always, my love for him multiplied. The 'home me' was a starry-eyed 15-year old girl again. I was always a starry-eyed young girl with him – once the 'college me' wore off after being in his presence for a few minutes. I always tried SO hard to hold onto that burgeoning adulthood, but it was nearly impossible.
Before leaving for Spring Break…me and a good friend from home, who also went to Northeastern and who I was going to Florida with, drove home for the weekend to get our bathing suits and summer clothes. Naturally, I couldn't wait to see Dreamboat. As soon as I got home I called him and he said he was on his way.
He sounded a little weird. I blew it off…I seemed to blow off a lot of things at that time in my life.
I dove into his arms, like I always did, as soon as I got into the car. Sitting, standing, it did not matter, there was always a way to dive. He hugged me back tight..burying his face in my hair, inhaling..like he always did, but something still felt off. I blew it off again…no need to think, just breathing him in and being in his arms was all I needed.
I was so immersed in the hug..I barely heard his voice. He broke the hug and repeated himself..
"Let's go somewhere and talk..ok?"
I smiled..yeah, talk..we'll be kissing, without coming up for air, for quite some time before we talk, I thought to myself.
While he drove..I chatted animatedly about my winter classes, which I knew I aced, depending on one last essay for a class I chose to fill my curriculum that semester, dealing with teaching autistic children. I loved it so much and planned on finishing the essay that weekend. My professor said I could drop it off in her office mailbox in case we didn't make it back before she left for home that coming Monday before we left for the airport.
I went on and on about this incredible class..and then on and on about how much I was looking forward to seeing what this 'Spring Break' was all about. I was still in 'college Lisa' mode'..full-throttle. I felt so mature and intellectual as I rambled on and I couldn't let go of 'her', not even asking where we were going as he drove, not even asking about him.
He pulled into a lookout in Alpine..a place I'd shown him my senior year in HS, where we'd park once in a while and kiss..talk..kiss..talk, when in my area. It was our usual 'we want to be alone' activity since we couldn't be alone at either of our homes.
"Come on, let's take a walk" he said..grabbing my hand when I got out of the car. We walked half way down an embankment to a small wall, overlooking the glittery lights of northern valley NJ. He straddled the wall..and I did the same facing him. He picked up my left hand, but didn't bring it to his lips as I expected.
"You're not wearing the ring" he said, lifting my ring finger, then letting go abruptly.. like it was a slimy, rotted carrot.
Oh, shit…the ring was 200 miles away, nestled in the velvet slot in my jewelry box. How could I forget it??
I started rattling off excuses like a married man caught with his pants down in a brothel.
"I worked out at the school gym before I left..I..I.. always take off my jewelry to work out. I was running late when C came to get me..just out of the shower, and I forgot to put it back on!"
He interrupted..and in a very monotone voice said the words I'd always dreaded hearing from him.
"Lisa" Uh oh..no, sweetheart or baby.
"…I think we should take a break"
I heard myself ask "Why?", but didn't feel it leave my lips.
"Because this is too hard for me…" he paused for a moment and ran his fingers through his shiny hair – then cracked his knuckles. He was a ace knuckle cracker, he never missed a knuckle, I always thought he would probably end up with bulging, deformed knuckles one day. Oh, please make him just mad at me, not end it forever.
Nope..that wasn't the case. He continued on..
"…I can never get in touch with you..and when you do call me, you're just… I dunno, different"
Then the whammy.
"Look..I can't really date anyone because of the guilt and my feelings for you, no matter what kind of 'agreement' we have, but you can – it's obvious, and that says a lot. I wasn't sure I could do this, but once I saw that you weren't wearing the ring…." his voice suddenly softened..
"…I knew for sure it was time for a break."
I just stared at him. I didn't know what to say. As I kept replaying his words in my head..trying to jumble them into something that wasn't a breakup (A break? A break is short..it's not forever, right?), my heart sunk like a souffle at a Stomp revival. This was for real – he was ending 'us'..but it still hadn't sunk in completely. I thought I could change his mind, or so I convinced myself.
I started to shiver. It was mildly chilly, but not enough to produce a shiver like that. This was a devatastion/shock shiver. He rubbed my arms with his warm hands..look..he's touching me affectionately..it's NOT over!
"Come on..let's go back to the car, you're cold" he said softly..taking my hand in his. A Ha..more BF-GF physical contact, there's still a chance I can change his mind, right?
We got into the car and I tried to speak, but I couldn't. My mouth was full of sawdust and my tongue had morphed into a thick, woolly sock . I was parched from the suddenness of it all. His love always saturated me..and now I was drying up like a piece of driftwood washed ashore and beneath a hot sun for days. Somehow, I managed to choke out;
"I need something to drink."
He opened a bottle of cold beer for me. I don't like the taste of the beer, but at that moment.. with one sip, it was the best thing I'd ever tasted in my life. I was so dehydrated..I could feel the cold path it took to my stomach, like a liquid serpent.
He couldn't believe the way I was guzzling the beer…his eyes wide, a huge, incredulous smile breaking across his face That hurt even more because that was a look he always gave me when I said something inappropriate or did something kooky or off the wall…a look that said he loved it.
"WOW, look at you!" he exclaimed, as if nothing happened and it was just like any other night we spent together before this nightmare.
When i was fully hydrated and could speak properly, I reached deep into my imagined super intellect and went to work.
"Baby, we're apart for such long periods of time..isn't that enough of a break? Why can't we still see each other when I come home..it doesn't have to be this drastic..unless you already met someone…"
"NO, I haven't met someone, it's not about dating someone else…"
Bullshit, I thought
"….it's about not being able to deal with missing you and feeling like you don't care when you're up at school. I need to do this for myself."
"But, I do miss you" I uttered weakly, but I knew he could see a bit of insincerity in my eyes – two crystal clear windows to every emotion that ever comes over me. Remember, I HAD to sort of forget about him to ease the pain of missing him. Apparently, he couldn't do the same, but, he wasn't constantly around peers..socializing, partying and just enjoying college life..and err,,hockey players.
A sharp stab of guilt made me cringe at the latter. Then I did the worst thing I could do in this situation.. I went all psychoanalytical on his ass – for 3 hours. I explained, in detail mind you..the virtues of not breaking up..using references from books and classes like Sociology. I couldn't drop the 'academic' facade, making matters worse..and worst of all, I couldn't cry.
I knew he needed to see some emotion, but no matter how hard I tried to jackhammer through a cement wall of protection I put up, it remained solid..not even a pinhole. It wasn't was budging, and neither was he.
"I think I better get you home" he said coldly
Nooooo..this night can't end because once it does..it will be the end of us forever, I thought, in a panic
As a last-ditch effort, I resorted to what none of us ever want to resort to;
I begged.
"Please don't do this, baby..I love you..I need you" Cry dammit!
Why couldn't I cry? What was wrong with me? I was feeling the worst pain I'd ever felt in my life, but the tears weren't coming. It was like my tear ducts had shriveled up into raisins and I'd never taste a salty gusher again. I could see it in his eyes as he stared into mine..icy, blue steel, but there was no doubt he was almost willing me to cry. He needed to see my mushy inner core, which is usually front and center; to make even the slightest dent in his wall, but it was as if a cement truck pulled up and poured another load on my wall.
Although there was no guarantee, I could feel it. No tears = No Dreamboat.
I leaned in to kiss him. another last-ditch effort….but he stiffened up when our lips met. Now I knew it was really over. I let him take me home, not saying a word the whole drive.
When he pulled up to my house, he tried to give me a hug. I pulled away and got out of the car. He waited until I got to my door..
Please make him change his mind and come running to me, I prayed, as I took the longest walk of my life. I wanted to hear his car door open and slam shut, quick footsteps, then feel him grab me from behind and tell me he loved me and made a mistake.
When I got to the door..I heard the soft rumble of his engine as he pulled away.
I couldn't stay home..I didn't want to be alone. I went inside and grabbed the keys to the car. I drove aimlessly for a few minutes, not sure of where I was going, but then found myself taking the familiar route to my blonde friend's house..the one who Dreamboat's friend and brother had a crush on..the one who l spent two wondrous summers down the shore with..my best friend at that time.
It was after 2 am, so I threw pennies at her bedroom window. She opened it..clearly annoyed.
"What are you doing, Lisa? You scared the crap out of me!"
I could barely get the words out, but somehow she heard enough because she shut the window and came running down before I could say it in full..
"Dreamboat broke up…"
She opened door..
"…with me" then the tears came. They crashed down on my cheeks like a tidal wave and once it started it didn't stop. My nose was running within seconds. I was sobbing as she pulled me into her house and hugged me – long, hard sobs that that actually hurt my chest. I could barely breathe in between each sob. I soaked the shoulder of her t-shirt, but she held on until I was steady enough to walk over to the couch with her.
Where were these tears when I needed them??, I thought angrily. My emotions had betrayed me completely.
I finally calmed down enough to tell her everything. She was such a good friend, she listened and soothed me..then made me what had become our favorite late-night pig-out whenever I was home from school. Pasta with melted butter, ricotta and black pepper.
I couldn't eat a thing, but she made me taste one spoonful…pushing it against my mouth..making me laugh. Her blue eyes beamed.
"Good, huh? Eff him, Lisa..seriously – you've got so many opportunities up at school and you're going to Florida Monday!"
Somehow, that didn't make me feel any better..but I pretended it did. I spent the night..well the rest of the morning, at her house…sleeping until almost 1 pm. When I woke..it all came flooding back..and I nearly threw up, but then it was as if the rain clouds of the breakup parted and a ray of sunshine poked through the fissure..hitting me like a sharp laser beam.
"Eff him" I said out loud to no one in particular.
I suddenly felt stronger and couldn't wait to get back to school and head to Florida for Spring Break.
I was going to get through this – I had to.
I spent the rest of that weekend with my friends, trying to forget, trying not to cry. I was relieved when Monday morning came and we headed back to Boston. I hadn't finished my paper for the class on teaching autistic children..so I scribbled it out the last two hours of the drive.
I couldn't help thinking if he hadn't broken up with me, I would have gotten this paper done at home and it would have been amazing. Blaming him helped dull the pain..the anger was like a warm, tear-proof, blanket. I dropped it off in my professor's office mailbox, then ran home to pack. Our flight was at 5 pm.
I'll spare you all the gory details, but, I had one of the best 'crazy youth' times of my life that Spring Break. I got really drunk for the time without feeling nauseous or throwing up. I even heard myself slur for the first time, and ironically, it was when me and my friend stumbled out of one of the clubs on the strip and fell at the same time..laughing hysterically. A few guys came over to help us up.
The one holding out his hand to me looked like Dreamboat..they could have been brothers. I felt pain for a moment…then in my first and last ever slur, I said..
"You look liiiiikkkke my exsh-boyfriend..go away, itsh over"
That made me and my friend laugh even harder. We were utterly pathetic and disgusting, but hey, it was fun in the moment.
I also hooked up with a good friend from school..o good friend who looked like me, or I looked like him..whichever. People on campus always thought we were brother and sister. I chalked it up to kissing myself..a moment of narcissism, but greatly regretted it when we got back to school and he wanted a relationship. I rode the relationship coaster with him for a little over a week, but then broke down crying one night when we were hanging out..telling him I was still in love with Dreamboat and I was not ready for a new relationship. I told him the truth.
Sadly, our friendship was never the same after that.
To add insult to injury, two weeks back from Spring Break, I found out the friend I went to Florida with hooked up with hockey guy one night. I wasn't seeing him at the time, so he could be with whoever he wanted, and to be fair, he didn't know she was my friend from home. When we started college, we ventured out and made lots of new friends, but had started hanging out together again sporadically (but she knew I dated him on and off), so I really had no reason to not date him. BUT, somehow, that put an ick factor on dating him again. I tried, but whenever I was with him, all I could think of was the two of them humping in a drunken stupor..and it skeeved me.
I tried dating other guys….this was college, it was kind of unavoidable. Except for a brief relationship with a sweet guy named Sean, who used to eat frozen pizza frozen and who I had to end it with because my roommate had a crush on him (that's a whole other story in itself, with lots of drama), there was no one that gave me the butterflies like Dreamboat did.
The pain I'd sealed off was now seeping through the cracks. It started to come back in small waves, usually when I was doing something totally unrelated to anything that would remind me of him. Washing dishes…suddenly my stomach would sink and my eyes would well up. Washing my hair, tears…brushing my teeth..quiet sobs. I'd immediately shove it back into the cracks and slather it with putty, but the putty started to crack and wear away, especially once I found out I needed to go home one weekend for a family thing.
The thought of being back in North Jersey without him made me sick to my stomach. SO, I called him….
Part 19 – the real end.. coming next week..not in almost three months – I promise!

I'd like to extend my prayers and condolences to the families of the shooting victims at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. I'm completely sickened, shocked and heartbroken over this.

That kugel is wonderful! It is a speciality I adore, but have not made since a while…
Oh, can't wait for the grand final!

I saw this on foodgawker and had to xome by and tell you that this kugel looks superb. I've been coerced into making it this weekend. I don't mind one bit. Keep up the great recipes.

Lovely dish Lisa, your story brings back memories of my first love and all the special feelings so I say who cares to your friend that is worried about who reads it. It's your blog and that the beauty of your own blog. Hope you are doing great have a wonderful Hanukkah.
Comment by Suzanne— December 15, 2012 #
I do not know what I like better the story or the kugel. I think a great plan would be for me to make your kugel while I sit down to catch up on all of your sequels. Have a super holiday. BAM
Comment by Bam's Kitchen— December 15, 2012 #
A friend and I were commiserating about drama and girls today. We decided since we had no social media with which to share those raw moments with the world, we learned to deal with crappy roommates and betrayal of boyfriends. And we learned who our real friends were, those 2 a.m. face to face talks…just not the same with a text message…I sure hope you found true love along the way…and thanks for bringing me back to Spring Break. Yikes, my mom really let me go in high school???

First – same Hanukkah Menorah!!! Second – this must be the most amazing Apple Noodle Kugel i have ever seen! I make one but it ain't nothing like this! And why would I doubt that you could take something so simple and homey from my childhood and turn it into a gastronomic delicacy! I am so making your version! And oooh please do not be late on the last part of this story!!!
Comment by Jamie— December 16, 2012 #
I love this decadent noodle kugel. You've taken a simple dish to a luscious and lovely level. I want any thing upside-down and apple and never would have thought to have kugel like that and now I want it for breakfast;))) The story is fantastic and sad and reminds me of being a teenager again. xo
Comment by Lora @cakeduchess— December 16, 2012 #
Happy Hanukkah! Wow what an ignorant coworker that comment about fried food lol. Well I have to say I never tasted a noodle kugel before but I am very curious now. I can also imagine your updated version with caramel apple is the best. I am so happy you are sharing this personal sotry from you past! Ah the pains of first love and the ending. Can't wait to hear about the call.

I love noodle kugel and I've never made my own. I love that you made it "upside down" with the apples. This recipe sounds so good! What's even better, I am 99% sure I have everything on hand to make it. Thinking this will be happening in the next day or two! Happy Hanukkah!!!
As for the first half of Part 18… Ugh! My heart is breaking for you over the breakup and then Hockey Guy… I liked him As much as I don't want this story to end I can't wait for the next part! Xoxo

i wonder what would happen if i used a little real dark maple syrup instead of the sugar? or no sugar?
congrats on your next edition of this story-this is something to be proud of and share, not something to keep away in the corners of your mind. the few who might be perturbed about reading this, may actually benefit from it…take heart!

I was so happy to see part 18 in my reader, and although sad, it did not disappoint! I hope 19 comes soon, but I don't want it to end! Great twist on noodle kugel, would love to try it!
Comment by Dinavia— December 17, 2012 #
What can I say…. kugel has never been my favorite thing. That said I would certainly venture into trying yours I have never seen one look so good. As for your story it was worth the wait… your honesty and ability to express your emotions with such clarity is brilliant. Well done and of course you left us hanging

Yum! I was just recently introduced to the noodle kugel (I had a pineapple one) and loved it! I felt like I had been missing out my whole life. Definitely trying this!

Caramel noodle kugel? Be still my heart! AAHHHH! Hanging on for the finale!
Comment by themadhausfrau— December 21, 2012 #
With the holiday season upon us, I've been running around like a headless chicken. so busy that I didn't get to sit down and read this until now! The way you describe the break-up is spot on because I went through it twice before I met my husband and it was a feeling I wanted to forget forever, until you brought it back! Love reading you, whether it be this story or anything you write. Happy holidays!
Comment by Katherine— December 22, 2012 #
I love your noodle kugel..it sounds just like my grandmother's, save the caramel apples on the bottom/top. Looking forward to trying it!
Comment by Lisa— December 22, 2012 #
This kugel looks incredible! I'm thinking of trying it with pears. Very creative idea!
Comment by Shavonne— December 26, 2012 #
Made this and love it! From now on, this will be our regular kugel! I Love your story too, young love (sigh). Getting ready to read Part 7!!

I was raised in a Jewish Italian community and for most of my childhood was one of the only shiksa's in my class, as a result, eating and cooking for Hannukkah, Passover, Purim, etc was part of my cultural upbringing. I made this kugel for Christmas (half the attendees were Jewish) made the biggest hit. If I heard it once I heard it a hundred times: "and I thought my mother made the best kugel but this is beyond belief!" Thanks for making my holidays perfect and for reinforcing my credentials as the most "jewish" of all my friends despite the fact that I am half Italian and half Norwegian.

This is the best noodle kugel I've ever had in my life and I've had a lot off noodle kugels! The apple upside down aspect is amazing! Thank you!
Comment by Linda— January 3, 2013 #
I just came here to say what was said above me. Best noodle kugel I've ever had! I think your grandmother would loe the twist you put on it with the apples. Such a marvelous and delicious idea! Just started reading your story too..I'm absolutely hooked!

Clarinda edged the Creston seventh-grade girls, 26-24, in a game that was close all the way. A Creston shot just before the buzzer bounced off the rim as the Cardinals held on, after leading 12-8 at halftime.
Maddie Hartley scored nine points for Clarinda. Chloe Hagle led Creston with eight points and Kiersten Latham added six.

OMG... I purchased this ring for mother's day perfect true to size color shape and style...
I loved this ring up until it turned my finger green :(. It also has some weight to it, which isn't a huge deal. The ring is really pretty otherwise, and I continue to wear it.
This ring looks very expensive, it's so pretty , I just love it and love the way it looks on. Its my FAVORITE out of everything I have ordered so far.
This is a nice ring and the color is nice as well. Mother of pearl is one of the things that can be worn with everything from casual to formal attire. It will go well with anything I wear.
Ring is really big. If I had small hands, it would be toooo large.
I have petite hands and love big rings. I was a little disappointed with this ring as the mother of pearl top overpowers the nice side detail. Looks masculine to me. I think it would look better on larger hands with longer, larger fingers. I'll keep it, but not my favorite.
Ring is exactly as pictured. Very pretty stone. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Finca Los Vaqueros
This ranch-style eatery with long tables in a sort of large, open-sided barn is worth an expedition from anywhere on the coast for its superb grilled meats and other Mexican ranchers' fare.
This ranch-style eatery with long tables in a sort of large, open-sided barn is worth an expedition from anywhere on the coast for its superb grilled meats and other Mexican ranchers' fare.
Every night for more than 40 years, volunteers have served up local delicacies such as corundas (triangular tamales ), uchepos (fresh corn tamales ), fried quesadillas and buñuelos (syrupy doughnuts) in the basement of this huge modern church, with proceeds going to charity.
The gorgeously villagelike Nueve Esquinas (Nine Corners) neighborhood specializes in birria, meat stewed in its own juices until it's so tender it melts in your mouth. Birriería las Nueve Esquinas does it best.
It's hard to go past trying one of the diverse eating and drinking options at La Casona de los Cinco Patios , all of which are under the auspice of a mansion with five patios. Locals rave about San Miguelito for its food, old-fashioned service, ambience and decor: each table has different chairs and is decorated with themed, hand-painted wooden platters.
Set off from the highway beside a rushing creek on the way into town (look for signs at the turnoff to El Paraíso), San Diego is a true mountain escape.
This under-the-radar gem serves food from the owner Carlos' native Durango in a rambling, art-filled art nouveau house on a quiet residential street. Book ahead if you'd like to eat out under the stars on the terrace. The menu is simple, and spoken only, so you'll need to speak some Spanish to enjoy it here, although Carlos does speak some basic English.
If you have time for only one meal you must seek out the greatest taco known to humanity. Tucked inside a strip of covered food stalls on the intersection of Hidalgo and Guerrero, is the modest Rica Birria . Immediately you will notice a different level of cleanliness and care here.
This unassuming restaurant inside Hotel Casino is actually Morelia's most inventive place to dine. Talented young chef Lucero Soto Arriaga turns pre-Hispanic ingredients into exquisite gems of alta cocina, all beautifully presented.
A second home for some of Matamoros' artists and intellectuals, this hip restaurant features avant-garde paintings on exposed brick walls and an intimate garden patio, where you can enjoy breakfasts (M$15 to M$60), spinach salads, fruity crepes, and well-executed main dishes including pastas and seafood.
This health-conscious chain has a mellow ambience and good, friendly service. The food is consistently good, eschewing red meat in favor of fish, poultry and vegetarian fare, plus wholegrain breads and rolls and a variety of fruit and veggie juices and shakes. Air-con and free wi-fi make this a great place to take a break from Acapulco's heat and urban chaos.
This (entirely meat-free) godsend for vegetarians is a great place for lunch, and is moments from the zócalo and the Museo Amparo.
After five years of selling gourmet quesadillas from a street stand, this cute couple relocated to a storefront with romantic courtyard seating, but still don't plan to name the place.
If you can handle the Eagles barrage (you're almost guaranteed to hear Hotel California at least twice while you're here), pop into the restaurant that claims to be the original restaurant that was in Hotel California.

Debian gets Mono Software via Tomboy
Ever since more and more Mono programmed applications such as Banshee, Gnome Do, and F Sport took over the Gnome desktop, the opposition to the .NET implementation has been getting more and more up in arms.
The dispute surrounding the integration of Mono in distributions has now reached Debian, after a lengthy debate among Ubuntu users as to whether Mono applications should be included with Ubuntu. Josselin Mouette, the developer of the note taking application Tomboy has made his software a part of Gnome on Debian Squeeze.
With Gnome, Debian users will not only be using Tomboy, but also Mono. Some Linux users see this chain of events as evil-doings because they believe that Microsoft will impose its patent provisions on Mono and thus potentially cause harm to Linux. The programming language used here is free implementation of .Net which the Gnome innovator Miguel de Icaza also began with.
The Tomboy implementation of Debian is further complicated by circumstances surrounding the C++ basedGnote. This exact clone of Tomboy was developed by Hubert Figuière and poses the question as to why the slimmer Gnote was not included in the distribution instead of Tomboy with its dependence of 40 MB. Instead, the developers intend to "perhaps... [write] new code which can later be ported to C++ in order to run faster, consume less memory and support more architectures", according to Millan in his blog.
Josselin Mouette takes theopposite stance. Tomboy is allegedly an inclusion due to lack of space, but not a full on part of Debian. The problem has apparently been solved in that Tomboy is now supposed to be slimmer and where necessary, Gnote can be included. In addition, the possibility to decide which software Debian takes on is still open. The Tomboy circle also argue that Gnote was only written to off set the Mono dependencies. When included in the standard installation, the program has fulfilled its purpose, but there is no reason for further development to occur.
Mono developer Jo Shieldsstates reasons why Microsoft is unlikely to go up against Mono and argues from the perspective of the developer: Mono is supposed to be ideal when developing quick and easy applications and has advantages over Python, Java, C, and C++. This, however, plays little role for the inclusion in a distribution.Here, it is considered more important as to whether Mono has good applications. Shields accuses Mono opponents of complaining about Mono as hypocrites unable to write their own comparable applications in other program languages.
Gnote is better than Tomboy, so why did Debian pick Tomboy?
Gnote and Tomboy are said to be functionally equivalent. If that's true, then Gnote is clearly better, because it's slightly more responsive. It's also less bloated.
So why is Tomboy included in the distro by default, instead of Gnote? Does somebody have an agenda here?

We invite you to a book discussion of Ravi Sundaram's
Pirate Modernity: Delhi's Media Urbanism,
Routledge, London and Delhi. 2010
Venue: CSDS, Seminar Room
Location: 29 Rajpur Road
Date: Wednesday, March 10th, 2010.
Time: 5pm

Refreshments will follow the discussion
Using Delhi's contemporary history as a site for reflection, Pirate Modernity moves from a detailed discussion of the technocratic design of the city by US planners in the 1950s, to the massive expansions after 1977, culminating in the urban crisis of the 1990s. As a practice, pirate modernity is an illicit form of urban globalisation in cities where low cost technologies are accessed by residents. Urban populations increasingly inhabit non-legal spheres: unauthorized neighbourhoods, squatter camps and bypass legal technological infrastructures (media, electricity). This pirate culture produces a significant enabling resource for subaltern populations unable to enter the legal city. Equally, this is an unstable world, bringing subaltern populations into the harsh glare of permanent technological visibility, and attacks by urban elites, courts and visceral media industries. The book examines contemporary Delhi from some of these sites: the unmaking of the citys modernist planning design, new technological urban networks that bypass states and corporations, and the tragic experience of the road accident terrifyingly enhanced by technological culture. Pirate Modernity moves between past and present, along with debates in Asia, Africa and Latin America on urbanism, media culture, and everyday life.
The book suggests cities have to be revisited afresh after proliferating media culture.
