Start with Mayo, and always add pickles, chopped fine. Also feel free to add onions, hot peppers, various forms of herbs (often a bunch of mustard), some hot pepper sauce, various forms of pepper, perhaps some capers or pickled nasturtium seeds, and, most often (and in my mind most importantly) some good strong vinegar.

I like tartar sauce with a variety of hot peppers and/or with a variety of pickled things, not just cukes.

You see, emulsified fat can do all sorts of things!

You really should step away from the food network occasionally, but I'm curious - I've never had pickled nasturtium seeds. Is it like capers?
Do you get high - like morning glory seeds or whatever it is?

I AM away from the food network right now, dammit. Pickled nasturtiums are often even sold as capers, but have a somewhat different taste, and can be made at home (but I'll leave that for the next episode of Greedy Martha)...

No high, but I've got some of those recipes, too, if you like.

Do they require a trip to the hood for "ingredients?"

Gotta get those ingredients somewhere.

In the day, we used to have "pot luck suppers". Learned a lot of good recipes then.

Well if it's anything like shroom tea, the end justifies the means.

The only other racial generalization I have observed in wide enough application is the following: African Americans are singularly responsible for the continued sale of orange soda in this country. I worked in a restaurant (not fast food) in a suburban area of California, and you could bet your paycheck that fully 50% of African American customers would ask if we served orange soda (we didn't). Of these, about 75% would then ask for root beer (which we did serve) instead. It was eerie. I don't think a single white customer ever asked me for orange soda, but almost half of the black customers did.

why the fuck didn't you start carrying orange soda?

In Utah and much of the Intermountain West, you can frequently get "fry sauce" for your fries at burger joints. It's equal parts ketchup and--you guessed it--mayonnaise.

And I think that's Silvia Poggioli--if you listen carefully you can hear how she pronounces both Gs.

That's secret sauce - right Aloha?
Or wait - was that thousand island dressing?
Damn, now I'm going to have to watch Fast Times again.

You are correct, tm. I love listening to her sign off!

With all this talk about about Poggioli aioli and shrooms, I'm oddly looking forward to dinner but stuck here in this hell-hole -- where I am questioned about stupid shit like why didn't I use a re: line on an email to a client and why didn't I use six spaces between a heading and the body of a contractual provision instead of the standard 5-tab space. All this crap from a guy in a Tommy Bahama shirt, smothered in Aqua Velva. With squeaky shoes.

Hey, if anybody wants to work at a lifestyle lawfirm, lemme know.

Thanks for letting me vent. If I get out of here in time, I am going to rent a slasher movie, buy a fifth of JWB and crank call partners' wives pretending to be the latest "deponent".

heh. heh.

Why is this a problem?

Let's say it's just whelming, then. Sometimes, I have to sit and think for a minute and remind myself (after thinking about it for a second) that I'm not in school anymore. I graduated. On time.

I used to have this dream but it only started after I was out of law school. Mine was the version where I completely forgot I'd even registered for the class until the night before the exam and it was required for graduation. (Before then I had the "in class and discover I'm in my underwear" dream.) I'd be so upset by the dream, that I'd have to remind myself that I graduated from college, graduated from law school, passed the bar and was working.

Maybe the dream was so real for me because it nearly happened in college. There was a bogus class required for my major. I decided to save money by taking it by correspondence course. Unfortunately the course materials sat around all year until halfway through the last semester and I was never going to finish it. I panicked and went to the prof who taught the course that semester. Fortunately the class had two components and the prof also felt it was bogus (a state requirement) so she let me into the course for the second part and gave me a paper to write for the first part.

I hate all you people who could skip class and ace exams.
