Hi,
I havent been here for years. On the front page I dont see any of the oldtimers I knew. I am back in Davis, CA and its like a trip on memory lane. I remmber in 2004 there was almost a cookin in sacramento, but then the host fell on her bike. I remember a berkeley trip with chrisd and I visited damsel in dis dress in minnesota and saw the SPAM museum (lol). So I wonder - is silvia, damsel in dis dress, gregory, blake, chrisd, tammy, sheldon the rude, jill the scot, et. al. still around? PS: I am atm cooking brussel spouts (boiled slightly, fried in butter so the shell is caramelized), home-made guacamole (without foodprocessor or blender), and a nice steak from The Co-op. And having it with a napa valley Rom Bauer Cab "stags leap district" (the winery is beautiful btw). |

Dams, Gregory, Blake, Chris D, Tammy, Jill and yes, Sheldon - posting under the nym of Brooklyn1. You'll recognize his 'style' right off. I'm a relative newcomer to the group, recent acquisition, er wife, to Bob Terwilliger. PS: I am atm cooking brussel spouts (boiled slightly, fried in butter so the shell is caramelized), home-made guacamole (without foodprocessor or blender), and a nice steak from The Co-op. And having it with a napa valley Rom Bauer Cab "stags leap district" (the winery is beautiful btw). I do love good brussel sprouts. Your version sounds quite similar to Thomas Keller's "Bouchon". Love their sprouts -- and the restaurant! And that is a fine wine you are having with it. Bob and I are in NorCal so we get out that way (and your way) quite often. Chris D is in New Mexico, but we hope to have her back "home" in the Bay area soon. Welcome back! --Lin |

Silvia, if you mean the one from Spain, doesn't post anymore, but Chris, Jill, Sheldon, Victor, Melba (Barb), and a bunch of other old timers still do. Glad to see you again. What are you doing in this country? Working here now, or school? Boli |

I do love good brussel sprouts. Your version sounds quite similar to Thomas Keller's "Bouchon". Where is that? Where is a good restaurant to get a good steak? (none in Davis) Love their sprouts -- and the restaurant! And that is a fine wine you are having with it. Bob and I are in NorCal so we get out that way (and your way) quite often. Going to see whales at Point Reyes much? I went the last two weekends, without much luck. Might go again this weekend, or go to lake tahoo. |

Your version sounds quite similar to Thomas Keller's "Bouchon". Where is that? Where is a good restaurant to get a good steak? (none in Davis) Bouchon is in Yountville. It's part of that Napa area. The other two Thomas Keller Napa restaurants -- The French Laundry, and 'ad hoc' -- are also in Yountville and within walking distance of each other. Bob said his steak and frites at Bouchon were some of the best he's ever had. I had lamb that night. We had a really lovely hanger steak at 'ad hoc' but they have a fixed price menu that changes daily. It was only by chance that we had that served to us since we didn't know what it was going to be when we made our reservations. You'd have to check with them before a menu is posted to see when they serve that again. Going to see whales at Point Reyes much? I went the last two weekends, without much luck. Might go again this weekend, or go to lake tahoo. We were at Point Reyes just a few weeks ago, but for cheese from the Cowgirl Creamery and then on to Tomales Bay for fresh oysters. I don't think you'll be seeing any whales at Lake Tahoe! ;-) Ski bunnies maybe, but no whales. --Lin |

You can have the menu emailed to you. Yup. Bob's on their list. We hope to take you there when you get back. Manresa's, too. After seeing Kinch beat Flay on Iron Chef America, I'm ready for a trip to Los Gatos. --Lin |
