Top Chef and we're off! (possible spoilers)
I was wondering if those were tribal ears or wierd earrings. Has anyone noticed the extreme amount of body art this season? Does it seem that there is more this season that usual? Is the tat the new fauxhawk?

Top Chef and we're off! (possible spoilers)
I was wondering the same thing. It is reminiscent of the "I'm not here to make friends" woman from a couple seasons back. She got cut first.

3 from Baltimore as well.
Also the French chef is actually wearing a cravat. How on-the-nose is that?

Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
I saw that Corks in Federal Hill has Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea vodka at the bar. The bartender had not tried Firefly so she was not able to offer a comparison. I was too busy drinking the Cucumber Tom Collins to try.
Roro1831 would you please post your results? Thanks! :-)

What's your favorite thing to dip french fries in?
My usual ff dip is ranch dressing. However, if I am having a bacon cheeseburger with rosemary garlic fries at my favorite local Belgian style brew pub, I dip my fries in the excellent mayo that comes on the side.

I've seen it in the store but I have not tried it.

Fresh World International Supermarket - Pasadena/Glen Burnie
I went here for the first time today. I thought the grocery store was as good as H Mart. I got 3 ribeyes for $6.00 so I'm happy with that. I trued the sushi bar as well. I got some sushi to go. It was about 7:40 pm and I was told that they closed at 9. The sushi chef said that all that was available was the pre made sushi. He picked p 3 boxes and told me I could have them for $10. One box was marked $3.99 and two boxes were marked $6.99. I was really in the mood for nigiri and these were rolls but I figured it was a good deal and took the 3 for $10 deal. Now that I am home I see I have an eel roll with mango and two other rolls with mango, avocado and some sort of pickle. I realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch but this is ridiculous.
Has anyone had sushi here?

My Mom used to give me pieces of raw hamburger as a treat when I was a child.

Gosling's 151?
I tried Goya Ginger Beer after reading the responses to the D & S recipe on chow. I like the Goya much better. It burns going down though.

Gosling's 151?
Wow, I think I will stick to one D & S. I used Reed's Ginger Beer but I think I need to get hold of another kind. I felt that the drink was a little too citrusy.

Gosling's 151?
So I bought a bottle of Gosling's to make jerk marinade and perhaps some dark n stormy's. This morning, while making the marinade, i noticed the bottle is 151. Has anyone tried this? Is there any difference besides the octane? What would you use it for?

Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
I bought this yesterday and mixed up a special cocktail for myself and some friends. I mixed sweet tea vodka, spring water and simple syrup. It turned out to be good and deadly. I need to buy more. :-)

Anyone heard of this new Balto Restaurant?
We had an enjoyable meal there last night. There were three of us. Two of us got the chicken and waffles special. The platter consisted of half a chicken fried and home made waffles with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The chicken was flavorful and went well with the sparkling wine we brought. The third member of the party had the chicken Alfredo which he seemed to enjoy. All of us brought home doggie bags.

Has anyone been here recently? What were the hits (or misses) on the dinner menu. I am going to Darker Than Blue for dinner with friends tomorrow. I went for a dinner there well over a year ago and wanted to get some recent feedback. Thanks!

Recipes You've Never Heard of Outside Your Family
My mother makes lime gelatin salad in a Tupperware mold with a center design that could be changed for the season (Christmas tree, valentine, star, four leaf clover etc...). It consisted of lime gelatine, cream cheese, pineapple, pecans and a teaspoon of miracle whip. We used to make it in cherry too. :-)

Current recommendations in Hampton Roads?
Pierce's is our usual go-to bbq place. What kind of bbq do they do at county grill? Is it local-style minced pork bbq or more of a ribs and chicken sort of thing?
I haven't lived in Hampton since 1989 but would like to know about Hampton restaurants (or lack thereof) since my parents still live there.

In Search of Deep Fried Apple Pie
If a McDonald's style fried pie is what you are craving, you should get to your local Popeye's. They do a fried apple pie. I have heard that the McD's in Wal-mart(s?) fry their apple pies because they do not have space for an oven.
Fried apple pie + Dulce de Leche ice cream = Bliss

Current recommendations in Hampton Roads?
I am so sad that my hometown has nothing more than chain restos. Norfolk is so far away (by local standards). Why oh why is there a dearth of local non chain restaurants in Hampton?

Mississipi Mud is not distributed here in MD' I bought it at Trader Joe's in VA for $2.99. A bargain methinks!

Sounds like an ersatz lasagna? Substitute ricotta for cottae cheese and add mozzerella and you might have something there.

I will tell Mom she was not alone in serving hot jello. She will be relieved

My Mom used to give me hot Jello in a mug on cold winter days. We were talking about this recently and it struck me that hot Jello might be an odd thing to give a kid. Did anyone else have this?

Friday night dinners- I'm nosey!
It's been a rough couple of weeks so I am looking forward to having the classic combination of fried chicken and champagne for dinner this Friday.
