Easter Brunch in Newport RI
My family will be in Newport for Easter and we would like to go somewhere special for Easter brunch. What would be a good restaurant that accepts reservations to go for brunch?
Milk on a Grease Fire?
Flour, sugar and cornmeal are all explosive when aerosolised . Sugar not as much, because it is a larger grain and it would just burn the finer the powder the more explosive. That is why coal dust, and coffee creamer are so explosive.
Milk on a Grease Fire?
Powdered milk is much more flammable than flour because of the fat content. It is a better fuel than starch
Has anyone reduced going out because of the flu? [Moved from General Chowhounding Topics]
My flu advice is the same as Stephen Colbert's. Wear a mask but cut a mouth hole in it so you can ask people if they have the flu. Seriously, there has been another strain of swine flu before and the vaccine killed more people than the flu. The danger of the new swine flu is that it could mutate to a hyper-aggressive and lethal variant and lay waste to a population. The likelihood of that happening is about a couple billion to one.
Tabella in Amherst, MA = wonderful!
When I entered Tabella it looked very promising, then we saw the menu and were quite impressed because we like tapas and this looked new and different. We ordered drinks: 2 sangrias and a mint lime soda. The sangrias were very good but expensive and the soda was great. Then we ordered; We ordered a soup hadt had a nice texture but not much flavor, The arugula salad was very good but overpriced.. Then we wanted meat, so we got the lamb lollipops, oysters and chickpea fries. The lamb lollipops were dry and hardly had any meat.on them. We got 2 of those for $14 MASSIVE RIPOFF! Then we got the oysters; there were 5 fried oysters for $12. The chickpea fries had a funky texture and were served with a honey mustard sauce taken from a fast food place. In conclusion Tabella is a good place to go if you are massivly rich and like mediocre food.
P.S. We belong to a community sustained agriculture farm share north of Boston, and do not believe that excellent, local, fresh produce must cost one an arm and a leg.
