Neither am I, but I began posting here in 1997, however, under a different
name.

OK, to be lazy I wont reply to all posts saying " remember you " etc.

Saturday I had 7 koreans visiting and I served them traditional danish
food (pork tenderloin prepared as game - I posted the recipe once upon
a time here).
So I went to drive randomly around sunday and ended up in Napa, where
I was cursing at myself for not remembering what you said and where it
was.
I just randomly chose a cozy street to drive on and almost stopped
somewhere else, but then I saw it and went "thats the one!"
I had a steak frites, with sauteed spinach instead of fries, and a
rochuefort quiche.
Went into the bakery next door and got a double espresso and a lemon
tart, fruit tart and a palladin bread (paladin is my favourite class
in world of warcraft lol).
I almost bought their French Laundry Cookbook, but is it worth the
price?
After that I found a nice Winery Sattui and got a madeira based on
zinfandel.
It was getting late so I followed the sun (west) to the shore and
drove down hwy 1.
Next weekend will be Lake Tahoe.

I drove through tomales yesterday, but was still full from the Bouchon
steak. I had a light supper in Stinton beach Parkside Cafe.
Mussels in whitewine-parsley stuff.

Actually, the spinach I got there is like my own spinach too: sauteed
and with garlic.
But the steak has a funny oinonbased salsa like garnish. I havent done
that.

Melba was Melba, and Sheldon/Brooklyn was Penmart ? Lynn in Fargo.
PS I did NOT see that Gag Morrow had posted that "joke". Please

The only All-Clad we have (as far as I know) is our monster roasting

Yowsers! I went and looked at those pans on Amazon. Now I want one ....

Now, for something completely different ... Bob has been cooking some
incredible things from "Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges" .. EXCELLENT
cookbook, and yes we still have your pristine copy waiting for you. If
you would prefer I send it now, I would be more than happy to do so. You
are going to LOVE this book. I think it's one of my new favorites. There
are things in there that even I might try to cook! ;-)

I have been thinking about Scanpans for a while but haven't seen
them locally. How heavy are they? I find the larger All-Clad
pieces to be too heavy for comfortable use.

Aha! Found it. You posted it *after* I deleted and shut down.

In any case, I haven't mentioned it here yet... but I'm crossing over
to the other side. Not because I wanted to, but because I couldn't
find a 48" electric cooktop with a built in grill to replace my old
one. In fact, it's hard enough just finding a 48" electric cooktop.
Cutting to the chase - the plumber put in a gas line yesterday and my
new cooktop has been ordered. I should be cooking with gas in two
more weeks. It has 6 burners and a built in grill. Yahoo!

I *still* say if they don't post for a year, they can ask to have
their mugshot restored or send a new one. I, personally, don't like
looking at all the mugshots of posters who haven't shown up in eons.
As far as infrequent posters and lurkers go. I can't imagine *why*
they'd want to have their mug up on the page.

Thanks, Lin! I'll let you know how it works out. This was the only

Michael,

I wouldn't bet any money on it, but I believe you and I exchanged a
few posts about five or six years ago. I post every once in a while,
but mostly just lurk at this point. If I think there's something I
can add, I toss it out there. But otherwise, it's lurk mode.

Welcome back to The States.

Ken

I haven't been around for years and don't really monitor the group any
more, but I do get google updates and happened to catch mention of
this thread. I remember going to a meet up in San Diego many years
ago. Good times.

Arturo

Here is one of the many yummy recipes from that day... as saved on my
computer.

Originally my MIL's recipe, it has changed very little. The original
called
for coconut milk, my husband has omitted the coconut milk because his
lovely
wife <modest wave> can't eat it.
Typically, we use bone-in chicken breast and my mother's hot peppers
instead
of ground red pepper. This curry is also good with beef, goat, lamb or
duck.
(Pork & fish would need less cooking time.)

If being here in 2004 makes one an old-timer, what is someone who's been

I don't post often, but I have been around since 1993. The user name I post
under has changed over the years as my news server and internet access have
changed. I originally posted from a Unix account until I no longer had a
need for a workstation at work, then every couple of years I've migrated to
new PC hardware that has to be set up for news access from scratch every
time, plus add to that my company has taken the liberty of changing my email
address format, our news server domain address and such, all of which make
it look like I'm new here each time.

That's strange I was thinking about oldtimers here myself. We've been
in usenet since 1992, on BBS's and listserves since 1988. We put up
our first recipe website in 1995, was on Prodigys recipe site, Chilis,
Gemini, Cyberealm, Mealmasters and others, don't really see anyone I
used to know anymore. Perhaps they've moved on, I feel old

Hi Phred!

I remember the internet when it printed out "screens" on paper on an APL360
computer terminal in 6th grade.

I went and looked in the google archives. I've been posting under my first
remembered email since 2001 on RFC by the looks of it. I was using a
different feed through a BBS to access usenet beginning in the early '90s.
Not sure just when I started lurking on RFC or whether I posted or not from
the BBS.

The archives don't necessarily tell the whole story, because I
gather some early messages disappeared when deja news bit the dust.
