peach cobbler, which was outstanding. The wines by the glass, many of which are Austrian (including a Blaufraenkisch [$14], which is difficult to find by the glass or bottle anywhere), are very good, though drinking a few really...

may be in LA awhile. I won’t stay at the Sheraton when it is my own dime, and I do plan to get over to check out the burger at Philly West, but last night all I wanted to do was collapse after a tough day with something...

> I don’t know why my original post didn’t come up Your previous post is still there, above. When you return to a Chowhound topic you previously viewed, it "collapses" all the posts that were there during your previous...

smooth metal or glass rods are taking off metal and are in effect sharpening. By definition honing is sharpening. If the knife was sharpened with a 1000 grit whetstone/waterstone then the ceramic rod will provide a finer finish...

try putting your eggs in a glass of water... if they stand up on end or float... don’t eat them.

I have had martinis all over the city. Restaurant August served the absolute best martini I have ever had. It was perfect – chilled glass, thin ice membrane atop the shadow of vermouth. Excellent. I usually get good ones at...

Isn’t the dumpling too tender if it is held with chopsticks and therefore will collapse? DK

to the pan after baking. The removable ring allows you to remove the pan without damaging the cake. The idea of inverting the cake pan on the neck of a wine bottle for cooling is that the cake can cool without collapsing/ sinking...
