Bottled artichoke hearts.

Plus one for Wegman’s. Never had those pizza rolls, but I used to live in Rachacha and I miss the super Weggies like you would not believe! They even had dry aged steak at a reasonable price. (You think you seen this town clear through...)
 Best grocery store ever!

Good post Claire. I saved it, not only for the information but to remind me to make more salads. I love a good salad, just don’t make it often enough.

Okay, Okay, Okay........Can I at least bring the asparagus salad?

ALLISON! I made brandade just last week! I went kind of upscale with fresh mashed potatoes, smoked mullet and some frozen cod I had laying around. I used capers and some dried fennel which gave the dish a bit of sweet finish. YMMV. Oh and I remembered what you said about balancing salt and acid, so I added a little…

I wish Kurt was in there longer than just that split second at the end.

Hang in there Ally, I’m a fan too.

Yup, been doing this for years. I used love adding wheat germ, but when I last asked where it was in my local Publix, I was told they had stopped carrying it.
Huh?

Yeah, it’s funny but it took me about 6 months before I could swallow my pride and ride one of those electric grocery store scooters. Thanks for the response.

Years ago I was hiking with a friend in upstate NY. We came upon a huge puff ball. He grabbed it up and said, “I’m taking this home. These are delicacies!” I wasn’t into stuff like that at the time, but is sure looks cool to me now! Nice article.

Whoah boy, I’m in bad shape now. I moved here to Palmetto Fl last year and joined a gym with high hopes of getting in shape and such. Then after doing squats one day my hip started hurting. I didn’t have health ins, so I just hoped it would get better on it’s own the way my body always did. But I’m 60 now and that…

I haven’t seen anyone mention gagootz, as my Italian mom called it. Saute with olive oil, onions garlic, crushed tomatoes and spices of your choice, oregano and anything else you might think fits. The squash carmelizes and really cooks down a lot and it takes a while to do it. My mom had a big electric frypan from the…

I do not get the American obsession with burgers. When you did that watermelon piece, though, all I could think of was an inch and a half slice of rare tuna with some very delicate almost ethereal brioche. But also I don’t see how burger places cannot be a moneymaker in these times of no sit down dining.

Okay, so I have to admit it; it’s been a long time since I’ve been laid. Is there a bar in dream land that I should look up next time I fall asleep? What’s a good pick-up line for a demon? “Come here often?” How about “I met Lucifer once backstage at a Guns and Roses concert. He was a great guy! He was talking to…

+1 for grilled oysters!

You are obviously a man of taste and distinction. My Housemate, who I only let move into my place was because he was homeless, and a Dead-Head. But not only that, a Dead-Head from Val-Po Indiana. Apparently he did a week in the slammer after being found with his arms around the waist of the local statue of Orville…

This is such a terrible shame. Angelino’s here in Palmetto is closed. There is a dearth of authentic Italian restaurants in these parts. Well, mom used to make fresh pasta, guess I’m going to have to try my hand at it.

I upvoted you, but most people don’t like a know it all. 😉 But you’re okay in my book JM.

Could you do my hair first though?. It’s been a while. I’m having a mid life crisis and re-living the 70's.

I meant ‘saddened disappointment’ not sarcasm. God, I’m so anal. I can’t rest sometimes.
