I subscribe, but my experience has been hit and miss with the recipes. I don’t use the app. Does it allow you to scale the recipes?

..which is just Italian for raw fish.

At Paladar 511 the other night I had a life-changing tuna crudo with shaved fennel, orange, pistachios and avocado. One of the best things ever eaten. Going to try to recreate it, starting with this recipe.

Paladar's looked like this:

@Mik What are your thoughts on Coopers Hawk? They just opened one near us and we want to try it.

Interesting food, not crazy about the wines. One would think since that is their schtick they'd do something special. Last couple times have been for lunch, so iced tea, no wine. Friends brough their Lux sparkler over a few weeks ago. meh. Sweet and uninteresting.

The wines may have gotten better, it's been two or three years since I tried them. Again, the food is good.

Just got back from a week in New Orleans, heading to Vegas for Christmas, so Thanksgiving will be quiet, just the two of us. We'll be going to Cooper's Hawk as I really detest making TD dinner.

Interesting.

Agreed, Cindy. I do not believe trans folks, or anyone, really, should be condemned or less of a citizen for their life choices. Neither do I believe they or anyone has the right to dictate how others must address them. I don’t believe they should expect society to ignore the obvious contradiction inherent in biological males playing in women’s sports, using women’s restrooms, etc. no one has to endorse these choices. It is nothing at all like the civil rights movement.

@dolmansaxlil yeah, it could work with two, but would not be as much fun.

If more Democrats thought like him....

My BIL designs and markets board games. We played his latest one the other night. Complicated, but lots of opportunity for strategy. After you've played it once it becomes clear. He also has Mines of Pekari.

Jim's was still excellent in 2010.

My home town. My grandmother and some aunts and uncles lived right by downtown until the late 60’s. It was at one time a great city and is thankfully heading back to that status.

Steve, Rookwood is a Cincinnati firm that goes way back. They are still producing gorgeous tiles and other things. The original pottery factory in Mt Adams has been a restaurant for many years. Your table may be inside a kiln.

I find it amusing that there are two people in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Oops... validation, folks, validation.

I think you’ve answered your own question. If you publish you will have created a relatively constant source of internal stress for yourself, regardless of any external consequences. My impression is you’re fairly cautious normally. Is this publication worth that to you?

Space junk. Interesting piece. Security and audit trails in earlier years were not what they are today. It could have been an ill advised techie flexing his muscles.

Not if they are unwilling to look deeply. Pelosi blaming Biden is an indication they will not.

Whirlpool appliances get no love on tie ‘net but I’ve always been happy with them.

Enjoy!

Me too.

I don’t know about that. I don’t like the inflation but in my mind there was never any doubt that we’d need inflation to reduce the debt. I’ve been surprised it didn’t happen earlier.

There’s a spectrum of reasons, really too many to list.

There are places like that in the south. They’ll welcome you and associate with you but if your family doesn’t go way back you’re still an outsider.

Maher was good too.
