• 696 Campari

    go together like Bogart and Bacall.
    I don't recall seeing any movies with them together.
    To Have and Have Not
    The Big Sleep
    Dark Passage
    Key Largo

    One thing that most of the posters here know
    that you probably don't is that I am rather
    vision impaired and have seen relatively few
    movies, in fact not having watched any of the
    ones you and Jim referred to in this discussion.
    Truth to tell, I've seen Bogart only twice, and
    one of the movies was The Maltese Falcon (only
    bits of it, too), and, to cite U.S. Grant out of
    context, the other one wasn't. I'm neither proud
    nor ashamed of this.

    The last one is probably the most famous of the four, but 3 of those 4 are
    3 of the best movies ever made, IMHO. Dark Passage is good, too.

    Most people I know are interested in film
    and television. I prefer visual arts that
    are stationary, so ask me about painting,
    and I'm your man.

    They also both appeared, in cameos, in the movie Two Guys from
    Milwaukee.

    Now there's a bit of trivia. What's it about?
    I suppose two guys from Milwaukee.

    They were slated to be in a fifth movie together, but Bogart passed away before it was filmed.

    Break apart when cool. Can be dipped or spread with chocolate, if
    desired.
    Makes about 40 pieces.

    You are right, I did not know that.

    and I'm your man.

    Who are your favorite artists? Mine include
    Picasso, Dali, and Escher.

    Now there's a bit of trivia. What's it about?

    That is actually the one I have not seen. :) I assume it is indeed about
    2 guys from Milwaukee. I think one of the guys is Bob Hope, but don't
    quote me on that!

    I'm not a fan of the first two, but really like Escher. We have
    several prints of his works on the walls in our house.

    Title: STIR-FRIED SCALLOPS WITH LEEKS
    Categories: Stir fry, Seafood, Chinese
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lb Fresh scallops
    1 lb Leeks
    1 1/2 tb Oil, preferably peanut
    2 tb Scallions; coarsely chopped
    1 tb Garlic; coarsely chopped
    2 ts Fresh ginger; finely chopped
    1/2 ts Salt

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    2 tb Dark soy sauce
    2 ts Chili bean sauce
    2 tb Rice wine or dry sherry
    2 ts Sugar
    2 ts Sesame oil

    If the scallops are very large, cut them in half. They are cooked
    when they are slightly firm to the touch. I find scallops at their
    best when they are just barely cooked through.

    DRY THE SCALLOPS WITH PAPER TOWELS and set aside. Trim the leeks and
    discard any yellow parts. Cut the leeks at the point where they begin
    to turn green and discard the green parts. Split the white parts in
    half. Cut the white parts of the leeks at a slight diagonal into
    2-inch segments. Wash them well, several times, in cold water. Heat a
    wok or large frying pan until it is hot, then add the oil, leeks,
    scallions, garlic, ginger and salt and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the
    sauce ingredients and stir-fry the mixture for 3 minutes. Lastly, add
    the scallops and continue to stir-fry for 4 more minutes, or until
    the scallops are just cooked. Serve at once.
