Lucy's Bistro-Babylon
Just returned from an anniversay dinner at Lucy's. We were the ony people in the place on a Saturday night. Food was very nice but the wait staff was terrible. You would think that in these times, a restaurant that is not that easy to find and a bit expensive would make you feel more at home. I guess the fact that the waiters were playing bar dice rather than tending to the only customers in the house, kind of turned me off. Would like to hear of other expierences there.

McDonald's Coffee Bar?
sorry but i'm lost. i rarely ever go into this place but my 7 yr old considers it a "treat". anyway, what is this coffee thing about? how do you do it?do you order at the register and then move to the left or do you walk right up to it? guess the fast food thing is way too confusing to me:)

wow! that is so cool. i would think maybe to have a really good diagrahm of the specific cuts, to really know what you want as basics but hopefully if you have a great butcher that could help you with the finer points. sound like fun!!!

ccbweb, thanks. interesting thing you mentioned about the chicken. this might be a stupid question and forgive me if it is but, the "oven stuffer" variety, how do they get them so much bigger?
natures promise?
so much of the labels seem to be "organic" and "no hormones, antibiotic free" . iwas wondering if this was purely marketing or if it had any truth to it.
natures promise?
any info on this stop and shop supermarket brand? just by reading the label, sounds too good to be true.
when did you start to become interested in food?
probably 4 or 5 yrs old. my grandma was sicilian, need i say more. always helping with the pizza,pasta,sauce,octopus,snails etc. but the most memorable experience was making a meal for the family from my betty crocker cook book. i'll never forget, mad hatter meatballs. just writing this brings a smile to my face. oh the memories:)
