Cheri, You might note that the first sentence in my entire post began with,
"As far as I'm concerned." Secondly, my 'suggestion' about the kid not
being cute enough was preceded by "I guess."

BTW I have seen the kid in question. He's NOT cute! But he is a human being
and he's a kid who's dying.

Finally, I stay my hand with regard to you thinking what I said was over
the top.

But her house is so immaculate! Hre talble is always set so beatifully! And
her wines are always perfect! I haven't watched her since the

And its not like every dying kid has a big wish to cook alongside Ina,
so I doubt there would be a rush. There are some things you can't really
make excuses about.

We're talking about fried ice cream. :-)

they taken fried ice cream and put it on a cone..battered and deep fried
that and then doused in powdered sugar...then you have a paula dean

I like fried ice cream though. Don't fancy tried a fried cheesecake
though.

lol..yes..soo many chefs have that look...that or the full body tattoo's

you’re a chef not a gang banger...lol

I always laugh at how these sort of people think they are being original and
cutting edge yet are clones of others.

growing up every Goth and punk person..every biker..every preppie or yuppie
all were like "I am a standout from the crowd I do my own thing.."

while standing a group of 50 others dressed exactly alike and something you
can see in every city in quantity around the world and through time.

oh I love whole wheat doughnuts..my favorite was baked in one of those
electric doughnut griddle thingies.

it was a <sadly> recipe from the ADA magazine..if I recall the kids one JDF
and to make doughnuts "diabetic friendly" they replaced white four for whole
grain and instead of frying them you add oil to the batter and bake them..

my mother fell for any and all of these sorts of recipes and it was my job
to call the ambulance for her inevitable trip to the hospital with a
dangerous high or low...usually a low as shed eat 4 "healthy" doughnuts and
spike then shed overshoot her insulin and pass out..

How very strange. Here you can only get that in Italian places. I just did
a search of Chinese restaurants to see if they listed desserts. The vast
majority do not. I found one that offers lychee nuts. Of course you get
fortune cookies.

used to have a choice of ice cream, pineapple bits or lychee nuts, usually

lol

in Minnesota until recently the only places that had ice cream were the
American buffets like old country buffet and I thin sizzlers had it.

only one Italian place made ice cream here totinos..the other Italian place
(yes other..lol..food choices were not diverse here..)..made shaved
"Italian" ice which was just a snow cone with lemonade on it.

oh and of course chi chis had fried ice cream.

once the Chinese buffets took off big time here they now all have ice cream
but its that gross milky soft serve crap you dont want anyway.

but as far as fried ice cream the only two spots to get it was chi chi's and
the state fair..which for some reason stopped selling it years ago

I've seen green tea ice cream in some Asian restaurants, also ginger.
Ginger ice cream is *good*!

Yes! And their shrimp salad sandwiches! And orange drink, bitterish
with lots of pulp.

There was a Chock Full on the corner of 116th and Broadway that I ate at
a lot in my childhood. I can remember eating at one on 34th Street,
too, when down shopping at Macy's.

Do you remember Paddy's Clam House on 34th Street, west of Macy's, IIRC?
LOVED that place, with their formica atmosphere, fresh fish, and
mile-high cream pies? I had my first lobster there!

See http://www.cardcow.com/60925/paddys-...new-york-city/ for a

Oh Memory lane!

That Chock Full O'Nuts on 1116th st sustained me al ong with teh rickers
on the same block when I was in Ccollege at Barnard:-) Cheap, clean,
unifirm taste, so you knw exactly what you were getting. I loved the
nutted cheese-kind of cream cheese with nuts and it was CHEAP! 15cents a
sandwich an 5 cents a doughnut. Of course, minimum wage went from
75cents an hour to $1.00 during my undeergraduate days.

I used to love Paddy's Clam House. they had something like $1.49 lunches
with a fish, potato and veg, with, I beieve soup too. I never had their
pies, but they were very good and a great value for a young working womman
making about $60 a week. Those fish lunches were not just fried fish
either, but broiled or baked.

thanks for reminding me.

Happy memories, indeed!

When I was growing up, there was a grocery/deli almost next to that
Chock Full. Its name was "TA-KOME." When my grandparents, who had
spent years as missionaries in China, moved into the neighborhood for a
while, they thought when they saw it that it was a Japanese store -- you
know, pronounced Tah-Komay. LOL Of course, it was actually pronounced
"Take Home." When I was a kid and went into my father's office at
Columbia with him on Saturdays, we'd get lunch from Ta-Kome. For a
while there I was on a sardines with butter on white bread sandwich and
Yoo-Hoo to drink kick. Eeewww!!!

In June, 2010, I was back in the neighborhood for a reunion at the
school I'd attended from first grade through high school. The spot
where Chock Full was is now a very good pan-Asian restaurant. It packs
people in at tiny tables with table service. Moderately priced, tasty
food. Perfect for students.

The West End bar, where many literary figures (and some of my high
school classmates, both before and after graduation) drank, is now a
Cuban restaurant. Also good. Much good eating in Morningside Heights!
