That would be most excellent! I have long enjoyed your posts here and on
sdnet. It would be a good thing to have a face to put with your name. If you
can make it, let me know via email. In the meantime I'll put you on the
"maybe" list!

Well, the SBF and I are scratching our collective heads about your cookin.
Will be heading to the Bay area during 4th of July period for Amy's wedding.
Not sure what we can do with the schedule. But, Chas, it does give us pause.
Will keep you informed.

Alan<--- who just had his "traditional" St. Patrick's day dinner of CB,
cabbage and spuds. Washed down with Cel-ray tonic!!!! Thought that would
make you queasy on both accounts. 🙂 There is a place in Seattle called
Market Meat, that sells only CB and pastrami. Nothing else in the whole
store. Been open for eons. Just take it home and put it in oven with a mix
of water and coke, and slow bake, covered. Just as good as CB in the Apple.

That would be some trick. Could we also move Thursday to Tuesday?

Thanks! Wish I'd known about it when I lived there. :-) I'm really

toffee and something vegan.

Do you scratch your own heads, scratch each other's, or switch back and

issues.

A patriotic wedding! You must be vibrating with mixed emotions. There is no
contest here though. There is no doubt of the importance of a wedding over a
cook-in.

I admire and love the Boston-Irish tradition of CB and cabbage! But the
Cel-ray!!! <gag and gack!> It would be so much better with gallons of strong
Irish tea.

Oh! How I wish we such a place here. the folks on our local San Diego food
newsgroup has discussed this issue many times. It is a greatly felt dishonor
to our community not to have decent corned beef and pastrami.

If you and Kaari find you can make it, you would both be welcomed with open
arms to our Cook-In. Let me know if there is any change.

I thought I did post something about it on sdnet. Perhaps it was during your
switchover to your new place of residence. I invited Jim Lane and he
attended last year. It was really nice to get a better understanding of each
other. He is a very nice guy.

Sheesh, and here I am trying my best to present my not-so-good side.
Hoping to meet serene in person, too. Now about that conflict in
schedules, I think I can blow the afternoon session off. Hmmm, sounding
butter and butter.

The fabric of life is greatly enriched by one or two food items that carry
you through on the journey. A good CB has always been one for me. Plenty
left for laying down between two slices of homemade sour onion rye bread!!

When thinking about you, I recall dinner at Flying Fish a few years back. A
good night. Speaking of which, Kris Keff, chef extraordinaire at FF is also
head of national womens' chef group. She sent a letter to the Shrub's wife,
suggesting it was high time for a female chef in the White House. She may
just have a good point there. Seattle has always been home to a large and
excellent group of distaff chefs.

You would not believe how many times I think about the Flying Fish (and the
glass of Diablo Porto I had there). I'll bet that not a two week period goes
by that I don't think of it. The lovely Parmesiano Reggiano lace and that
wonderful high-butterfat sweet and unsalted butter on the wonderful rolls
and breads. Outstanding wine choices. The company couldn't have been better
either. Dear Sam gave up her seat to let me sit on the outside when she
found I was having an anxiety attack. You and Kaari are excellent hosts and
the Flying Fish will always be high in my esteme. I'd love to visit it
again. I'm glad to hear the Chef Keff is still at the helm. There was an
article about her and the FF in the AAA magazine not too long ago. Sandy
Eggo too has long been home to a large and excellent group of women chefs.
The male chefs tend to make a name here then move on to more money and fame.
The women have stamina and seem to believe in sticking with their faithful
fans.

Excellent! Will you lift a Bohemia with me? I won't mention that I actually
prefer Pacifico most of the time. It is light and bubbly like me.

You a Pacifico, me a Negra Modelo more than likely. Bohemia is good too.
In fact a mediocre beer is made much better by one's drinking companions
so we could share a Coors and be all the better for it. ;->
