Thanks. Will try this weekend. Mmmmmmmmm

You slice pork from the shoulder and grind? And then form patties and cook on grill? Thanks for info.

I too like Munday's, though I have never been to Toast. Munday's can seem pedestrian if you go after the breakfast specials are over. A few weeks ago I had their Linzer french toast and it was delish, if a little sweet... Everything is fresh and good. Not my experience at diners on LI....

They also have them at Copenhagen in Northport.

I made this Tuna Casserole recipe from Chow and it was really good. It does not use condensed soup.

A restaurant is not a public place. It is as private as my home. It is my premise and I can ask you to leave, as the owner, becasue I feel like it. You have no "right" to be there unless I say it is okay.

Can I ask a stupid question? Just because that is the choice they offer, does not mean there are not other choices. Did anyone ask for tap? I have been to plenty of places that try this, but, being a New Yorker, I just as obnoxiously ask for NY city's finest. And I get it.

We're going. THanks for reco.

You are my idol. Your planning is amazing!

Thank you!

Please forgive me if this is obvious - where can I find several pounds of turkey wings on LI? I need them for make-ahead gravy so need about eight pounds and have not seen these anywhere.

I highly recommend Shandon Court in East Islip. It would be a little out of your way for Nassau but they have private rooms, really nice food, Irish music, real Irish accents and plenty of craic.

I would love your gravy recipe and the creamed onions, a favorite of my mother.

Thank you!11111111111111111111111111111

Hehehehehehehehe I have nothing else to add....

I am curious about the rest of your menu. I'd like to do a New Year's Day open house and would love to hear of any of your favorite recipes.

hehehehehehehehe

The red lentil soup is excellent at Pita House. The lamajun not so much. But everything else I have tried is very good.

I think you are fine to brine a half turkey. One hint that I have learned though is to brine 2 days ahead. Then rinse and let the bird sit uncovered in a refrigerator 1 day ahead so the skin will be dry and get nice and brown when roasting. I use Alton Brown's brine recipe form food tv and this has not failed me yet.

Went by there last Wednesday at around 3:30pm and they were closed. Do they close on Wednesdays?

We don't give up the button - we just keep a few mini cans of Ginger ALe in the fridge.

I put leftover pizza in a Warm And Tote wrapped in parchment paper and my very picky eater really likes this when the school is serving pretend pizza on Friday. He is a simple little man so i also give him a sandwich, a yogurt that has been frozen so it is nice at lunchtime a fruit and a mini Hershey. We all need moderation.
My cheat for my daughter who will eat anything and hates sandwhiches is that some days, when the leftovers are scarce, I heat up a Lean Cusine and put half in a Thermos. Also very popular are th frozen dumplings - we have a brand called Nature's Promise from stop and shop. She likes lots of variety so a little salad, a few chips, some salsa, carrots with dip, etc, etc.

If i make tuna or salmon salad for my son, it's in a container and have taught him to make his own sandwich. Hate squishy tuna.

Or call a local pizza delivery place. They will probably do it if the recipient has ID.

We will be ariving at some ungodly hour in Shannon and would like to have a really good Irish breakfast on our way to Tarbert, Co, Limerick. Any ideas? We will be there on a Monday.

Another fan. Very good felafel.

I am not a huge Food Network or Giada fan but i made her Chicken Florentine Style with a rotisserie chicken and all ate it up happily. Just ignored all the info re cooking the chicken and went from there. Delicious and easy.

hehehehehe I'm going to try that on my seven year old. Perhaps with an intermezzo of lima beans.

I am so afraid to reply to this thread but here goes.
I'm Irish so I feel more able than anyonbe to respond to the fact that Whitey is an offensive term.

Secondly, the reason that it is offensive is that the responding racial descriptor is not darkey or blackey, but "N-----" . at least here in plain spoken old New Yowk.

Cut the crap Chowhound and delete the whitey thread.

Thank you so much! I searched for old posts but could not find it. How can I do this?
