Also, what happened to 2001 through 2005 on this board?  I'm sure it's been discussed in another thread, but my 20,000 "content" got knocked down to 2,000.  Disrepectin' us silverbacks.😡

It is.  Mardi Gras does not discriminate.

Given the latest freak out - plastic.

 

They're saying this may be the last year for beads.

I'm sure me2 is messing with the booby flash as well.

Just a matter of time until were passing out recycled non bleached paper in exchange for women to do math problems on.

He's a lawyer and amateur chef from NJ, also a Notre Dame grad as you can see from his avatar.  He likes to use French words like charcuterie.  He is part of a group of posters who had somewhat of an exodus from here and formed another bored called The Sanctuary.  Occasionally they pop back in.  I used to be a member there but they perma banned me after I hadn't posted in like over a year.  There are degrees of assholishness with them; Fricker is on the low/no end, he's a good guy.  :cheers:

You should chat food with Bier Meister. He's a former pro chef who lives in Sonoma.  My wife and I met him in Napa last October and he hooked the 3 of us up with a semi-private tour of Silver Oak. Good guy. :cheers:

He and I have had a few exchanges here on food.  The guy knows his stuff.  Recently, I hosted a dinner where one of my LSU friends was paying off a bet by being my sous chef.  We had dinner for 10, and there were 7 colleges represented at the table, so I did a dish for each college:

Country ham with arugula and soft cheese (UVA)

Deep fried gumbo risotto balls with fresh cajun mayo (LSU)

Hot creamy blue crab on homemade soft pretzel (U of Delaware)

Homemade 4-cheese ravioli with marinara (Providence)

Wild Boar Osso Buco with roasted shallots and choron sauce (U of Michigan)

Wild game cassoulet (Gettysburg)

The Sweet Taste of Victory - Rum-soaked orange supremes, chocolate mousse, sweetened whipped cream and a homemade truffle coated in edible gold leaf (ND)

It was some of the best food I've ever made, and most everything was an original with only a few recipe consultations.  The Michigan dish was ridiculously good -- figured a wild boar was as close as I could get to a wolverine.  And that was my first time making a cassoulet, for which I braised a whole rabbit, confitted 4 duck legs and roasted a venison loin.   The reason for the rum-soaked oranges was that the bet was a payoff from the 2018 Citrus Bowl.  Great fun.
