Update on 4 Triangle Restaurants
The odd thing is that the descriptions and prices at GHF are not very small-platey, but the sizes of the plates are the same.
Litchfield during the Holidays
Thank you so much. Have never been to Saltwater Creek. Should check it out. We've had great food at bistro 217 and chive blossom in the past. Glad to hear they've still got game.
Litchfield during the Holidays
Excited about heading to the beach for the holidays. I would love to hear about any updates on the food scene in Litchfield/Pawley's? What are your favorite places?
Gregoria's Kitchen in Durham
Not much time to go into a long review this morning, but we went last night and I'm with klaatu on this one. Please go and try this place. It's in a nice, comfortable space. Tuesday night is $5 mojito/$5 appetizer night and I have to say, both were excellent. My main dish (free-range pollo) was very good, but by the time I had indulged in all the appetizers we ordered, I had to take some of it home. I love apps and these were especially good: stuffed plantains, mussels with chorizo, and the croquettas. We also tried the salad with avocado - yummy! I'll be going back... a lot! Cute little bar, by the way.
Cocktail party: round food
Intrigued by the peas, prosciutto and onions in mini tart shells. Do you have a recipe (or guideline) for that one handy? Thought about gougeres but the mini-souffles seemed too similar (eggs/gruyere). Next time though.
Cocktail party: round food
I'm now regretting not buying that big container of macadamia nuts at Costco the other day...

I was thinking of melon balls....have you ever macerated them in vodka and a touch simple syrup?
Cocktail party: round food
Interesting. How do you make these? Do you hollow them out and fill it with small chopped bits?
Cocktail party: round food
Wow. So many amazing ideas. Thank you. Better than I had expected, especially since several of the ideas are easy and I tend to follow the plan: make a couple of things and buy the rest. Would like to a have a recipe for some of the others.
Cocktail party: round food
So I'm having a little drinks & nosh get together tomorrow evening and am making a couple of things tonight - one is little meatballs and the other some mini-souffles made in mini muffin tins. I had planned on buying party tomatoes....I realized that so far everything is round so I thought maybe I'd just make it a theme and stick to round food. Any ideas?!
Help: Good food near UNCSA - Winston-Salem
Thanks. Perfect. I love hole in the wall places. Sugar cake sounds good - not so sure about the sparkling scuppernog... : )

Thanks. I'll have to try some of these out.

Our son is starting at UNCSA this week and we'll be heading there quite a bit. Are there any fun/interesting places to check out nearby?
Taqueria concept coming to Rockwood area of Durham, NC
I think another problem with the Fish Shack was the feng shui/vibe along with the fact that it didn't offer immediate gratification the same way the Qshack does. The way they remodeled that place after Rockwood was weird. I walked in one day and turned right around and walked back out. If they serve alcohol they'll have that over the other taquerias.
Icelandic Cuisine in Toronto
Just got back on Friday and brought almost nothing back with us except the rest of the butter that was in the fridge. Most delicious butter ever. Luckily, it was a big chunk.
NYC Foodie coming to Myrtle Beach/Charleston
There are many better restaurants in Charleston than 82 Queen. Sue in Mt. P mentions several. My last meal in Charleston was the shrimp & grits at SNOB for lunch. They were delicious. This time of year you're going to have to get ready to stand in line at restos in Murrell's Inlet. Our favorite there is Russell's. It's old school Southern seafood and has a great atmosphere. We call it the tree house. You could go just a little further down 17 to Litchfield Beach/Pawley's and maybe get reservations at Chive Blossom or Bistro 217. Both are excellent. Great seafood cooked in a more modern style.

Loved the crunchy onions. But I thought the sweet congeal-y mustard was kind of icky.
Favorite Hotdog Toppings
omg - the hot dogs in Reykjavik with crunchy onions! The best. If only they had good mustard.
Cooking classes in Raleigh durham?
Wow. I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.
How did I miss this?
The Pig--Chapel Hill
I think he may also be associated with a couple of places in Saxapahaw - the General Store and the Eddy Pub.

Lan's in Durham has Chinese cooking classes. I took a couple of series many years ago and still use the recipes and techniques over and over again.
Top Chef All-Stars - Ep. #16 (FINAL Finale Pt. 4) - 03/30/11 (Spoilers)
I thought "Charlie's Angels" but who knows if that's what he meant. Reading through these posts, I may have missed it if someone else mentioned it, but I think it's interesting that Charlie was some disembodied voice and the Angels were the ones who did all the work and kicked butt. I think angels is only sexist if you want it to be - i've called my friends angels for coming to my aid. I do think people would have thought differently if Richard had said that, but I suppose he never would have.

Ha. That's because that was (is?) an actual real thing.
