    Neither your kind of people nor my kind of people has
    any way of finding out.
    No, despite what some have tried to predict over the years, we're still going. And will, until the final day. (G)

    And who knows after that, though discussion of such
    is discouraged.

    It was clear enough that there was no point hoping the
    unqualified substitute in the back room would be able to
    do better with anything else.
    Sounds like they needed to hire a new cook or close down until they
    could get the current one some training.

    They closed down, got bought, and then reports were
    that the place improved at least back to the ancient
    storied standard, but there was no incentive and now
    little opportunity to check that out.

    Feeling a bit spudgy?
    If I'd stayed in Belgium much longer, I might have turned
    spudgy, or at least part Belgian.
    Probably more the former than the latter. Had I cooked for Steve the
    same way I had to cook for my family, we'd be on the pudgy side too.
    Good thing he's not a strict meat and potatoes eater.

    And good thing for you he's not a strict spaghetti
    kind of guy!

    I don't get it that often, and since we've moved here, only from a couple of restaurants. Both are locally owned/operated.
    I don't care much about that, just that the pasta is made to
    order. Swisher threatened to take me to Olive Garden recently.
    He knows that I don't have a way to get back to the airport in
    a hurry without him driving me.
    There's plenty of non pasta dishes available at OG, just have to

    I don't worry so much about pasta, just non-al-dente
    pasta. It's more the sodium. Also that there's probably
    little that you or I couldn't make better, faster, and
    cheaper. Also note that al dente pasta is glycemically
    okay, whereas soft pasta is not.

    carefully peruse the menu. One thing I'll get there (but I know you
    won't) is the breaded (lightly) and fried zuchinni. I've gotten it
    instead of potatoes at OG, don't see why they wouldn't sub it for pasta
    with some dishes.

    That thrills me no end. Not.

    Just make sure you report all of them--hopefully things that can be treated.
    Essentially, the device threatens to pop out of my
    chest, and the only solution to that is have it
    removed in a controlled fashion before it decides to
    leave in an uncontrolled fashion.
    That does sound like it needs some attention. Unfortunatly, probably the
    same restrictions as when it was put in, will apply to the
    repair/replace procedure.

    Who knows - I'm not sweating it. But it won't be a
    repair or replace, rather a simple removal, and I'll
    take my chances.

    workers to, to help us with the order, take cash, etc.
    Another reason to avoid McDonald's.
    We usually do, but were with our friends (an older couple) so went with
    them. Haven't been to one since. (G)

    Last time for me was at BWI I think, when there wasn't
    anything else tolerable. I was tempted, though, to try
    some of the things I've seen advertised in Malaysia and
    Singapore, though, just for the sake of science.

    Ayrshire Farm(r) Cider Roasted Chicken
    Sounds interesting. I picked up a couple of pork tenderloins the other
    day, may try doing something apple (cider?) based with one of them.

    Maccheroni alla Casanova
    categories: Italian, Neapolitan, main, pasta
    servings: 2 or 3

    3 Tb extra-virgin olive oil
    1 dried red chile, crumbled
    14 anchovy fillets
    8 oz ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
    4 Tb chopped imported black olives
    1/2 c water
    1 Tb tomato paste
    Salt to taste
    6 oz perciatelli (bucatini)

    In a casserole or skillet, heat the olive oil over
    medium-high heat with the chile and the anchovies.
    Once the anchovies begin to crumble and melt add
    the tomatoes, olives, water, and tomato paste. Stir
    well, reduce the heat to low and cook, partially
    covered, until dense, 20 min. Correct seasoning.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a
    rolling boil, then cook the pasta al dente. Drain
    the pasta without rinsing it. Toss with the sauce
    for several min over low heat and serve.

    Hi Michael,

    any way of finding out.

    still > going. And will, until the final day. (G)

    And who knows after that, though discussion of such
    is discouraged.

    That's why I've not gone too deep into the discussion.

    It was clear enough that there was no point hoping the
    unqualified substitute in the back room would be able to
    do better with anything else.
    Sounds like they needed to hire a new cook or close down until they could get the current one some training.

    They closed down, got bought, and then reports were
    that the place improved at least back to the ancient
    storied standard, but there was no incentive and now
    little opportunity to check that out.

    Better to sell it and let somebody else try to make a go of it.

    Feeling a bit spudgy?
    If I'd stayed in Belgium much longer, I might have turned
    spudgy, or at least part Belgian.
    Probably more the former than the latter. Had I cooked for Steve the same way I had to cook for my family, we'd be on the pudgy side too. Good thing he's not a strict meat and potatoes eater.

    And good thing for you he's not a strict spaghetti
    kind of guy!

    No, but he could eat pasta 8 days a week. I used to serve it at least
    once a week, now it's more like once a month. Even then I don't have a
    standard serving for myself but maybe about 2/3 of what the nutrition
    label considers normal.

    I know, and most often mine is just done (no white core). It's also
    whole wheat so doesn't get mushy like white pasta does.

    I know, but I like it as a lower carb sub.

    Quite different from the standard stuff offered in the States?
