in a nostalgic nod to drinks that we had at a nice party organized by my old firm. For VD they were offering a tasting menu (at $89, with an additional $20 for a flight of wines that matched the courses) in addition to the...

the cotton candy through Amazon, I’m not sure who is carrying their complete line of hard candies. You might want to pop them an email. I got to try everything when I went to ExpoWest earlier this year....

Limster organized a dinner at New Shanghai to give the new chef a whirl. As the newbie and one of the last arrivals, I’ve been tasked with describing the food. Here is my recollection; comments from dinner companions...

This reminds me of a party that I helped to organize several (many?) years ago in NY, called the DaDa Ball, held at Webster Hall, which happens to be where the first Dada Ball was held in the early 20th century (?). We paired...

Whie Australian Gourmet Traveller is a great resource it often doesn’t cover the Brisbane scene – it’s very Sydney/Melbourne -based. A winery tour is great too – closest winery to Brisbane is Mt Cotton's...

I think you are supposed to wrap it in a cotton towel while it is aging. I am no expert but I read it somewhere.

Thanks for the info. It seemed odd that it was on a monday, so I wrote to the organizer. May 10 was the 2003 date. May 8 is the 2004 date. Noon to 7 pm. He says" Come early if possible as we some times run out of shad." Has...

Okay, this raises a question I’ve had: Do you think the Morningside Market is worth it? Yes, I enjoy it, and we do buy a decent amount of stuff there. But, having seen a similar market in DC and a non-organic one in...

You have the right understanding of the small farmers situation, daniel. Organic farmers loose about 30% of their crops to bugs and vermin because they don’t use pesticides and such to repel them, ie, less product to sell ,...

soup (esquinta??? I forget) It looked delicious but I was too full. Any word on what this is and where else it might be available? My kids also ate cotton candy and a funnel cake but that was their old man’s genes kicking...
