gets excited and wants all those wintery things—sweaters, soup, red wine , fireplaces, etc. It’s hearty too, and even the unadventurous will eat potatoes and cheese! ;>

as meats, cheeses, wines and provisions you are not likely to find any place else.

, but The Roasterie in KC is very good, but a tad pricey, though more or less in line with other online sources...their Super Tuscan espresso blend is very nice. There is another place in Topeka, P.K.'s?, which i might also try,...

I agree on the “he can't be bothered” statement. But for Swiss chard, I think I probably pronounce it in between your two pronunciations. If I’m saying “chard” by itself, I use the hard...

de arbol table sauce. Tingas are, essentially, stews made from shredded meat, tomatoes, chiles and onions. The chicken tinga quesadilla was the least successful of the 3. The tinga was good but a little uninspired and...

about. I also blended my own baby food (didn’t like the canned/bottled stuff, no flavor).

ordered was Shirley aka The Sergeant of Arms’s pork chops. It is my opinion that this contributed to her Shirley ‘The Hammer’ demeanor throughout the day, culminating in her breaking a wine bottle over the head...

. The atmosphere is perfect: very upscale, yet casual and boisterous. Nice wine list, OK bread, pretty good ceviche, fried platter (shrimp and crab cake) was barely average. I NEVER eat anything fried, was taking a serious...

oops, i just realized it was food & wine, not bon appetit. still, the entire premise just seems odd to me. the recipe calls for packing the UNBAKED crust in the bottom of a springform pan, pouring the batter on top, and setting...
