You should try being a little nicer to Thurgreed around Thanksgiving. His ginger cheesecake is mighty tasty. |

Am I the only one who hears the screams?

Here's the issue - it can get hard hearing about continual bad news, especially if you seem to hear it consistently. No one questions that. But the way that you put it, in my opinion, helped get people riled up. Maybe you meant to say that around your office, there has been an unusual number of people whose family members, close friends, whatever, have been struck by tragedy, and, though you feel bad for each one of them, you are worn out by the amount of heavy news you have received. What it came across was, "Hey, I'm tired of all of these people complaining about their life threatening illnesses - it's work people! leave your personal lives out of it."
Remember that you're dealing with a board full of lawyers who spend the better part of the day criticising other's communications and trying to find flaws with those communications. If you have a negative reputation (deserved or not, I'm not judging, just saying), you have to be even more careful with how you express your thoughts. |

Pathetically, I will probably buy crusts. Because I'd rather have mediocre crust than crappy crust, having experienced my mom's crappy crust. Also if I were to try making crust, I would want to use lard, and I won't need enough to make it worthwhile to buy it.
What kind of nuts would go into this nutty streusel topping? And would there be oats involved, in an ideal world, or no?
ETA is it clear that I'm into food yet? and in answer to ppnyc's question about holidays, Thanksgiving wins because of turkey, stuffing, gravy AND special dessert (pumpkin pie -- we had apple pie a few times a year, at least, but pumpkin only once a year). Christmas's standout is yorkshire pudding, with red cabbage and prime rib bringing up the rear (but far, far behind -- red cabbage is a vegetable, and prime rib is not that distinguishable from other roasts/steaks).
EATA that food beat any gift I've ever gotten, except maybe when I was really little. Now, I can buy myself what I want, so gifts are kinda meh.

I'm re-reading the Steingarten chapter and the recipe for the pie crust is seven pages long. After I get back from the gym, I'll see if I can condense to the essence and post it on the food board.

Ginger cheesecake with an oreo cookie crust sounds really, really good.

Hmm. Wise move on Amazon's part to not let groceries qualify for Amazon Prime. I wouldn't ever leave the house and the UPS bills would probably put them out of business.
Ok, ok. I know, I know. Off to the gym.

Is that the guy who often is a judge on Iron Chef America? If so, the lawyer bit would explain why he's pompous and annoying. |

That is marketing genius for them. I have bought so much stuff from Amazon, because of my Amazon Prime membership that I singlehandedly have kept UPS in business. |

Regular Amazon groceries qualify, not netgrocer though. |

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/15/dining/15crus.html Article on crust. includes experimentation with wide variety of fats requiring death of a living being. guests need not worry re: dead stuff fat as I won't be using it. |

I like...
Just about every fish save the white flay tasteless shit (I like them in all forms - lox, sushi, etc...)
Filet mignon
NY Strip
Broccoli rabe
Spinach
Mushrooms
Good marinara sauce
Good meat sauce
Hummus (just about any kind)
Fresh mozzarella
Roasted red peppers
Sauteed onions
Soyburgers (they taste good)
Burger burgers
Just about anything from Taco Bell
Rare roast beef with horseradish, swiss and lettuce and tomato
Fresh tomatos with fresh basil and mozzarella
Just about any salad with good olive oil and sweet balsamic vinagrette
Blue cheese
Gorgonzola
Feta
Goat cheese
Snickers
Ice cream
Yogurt
Those blueberry Nature fruit drinks
Meatloaf
Sweet onions
Black beans
Refried beans
Hot dogs
Chocolate candy (dark and milk)
Chocolate milk
Avocados (regular and Reed)
Guacamole
Pineapple
Coconut anything
Eggs (generally egg whites, since I eat a fuckload of eggs)
I'll eat turkey and chicken as lunch sustenance, but I'd never seek either out or order them at a restaurant.
