Default Are there any of the oldtimers left?

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).

Hi Michael! 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.

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!

Hi Archon,

Yeah some of us from years ago are still around. 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?

That rings a bell... by "new" you mean a few years, dont you?

Where is that? Where is a good restaurant to get a good steak? (none
in Davis)

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.

Nope. Just a couple of years. We celebrate our second anniversary next
week. Still honeymooning! ;-)

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.

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.

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.

I remember you. I went through a fairly long period of not
posting or posting very little but am posting regularly again at
this point.

Most of the people you mentioned other than Silvia are still
here.
I remember your Danish recipes quite well.

How long will you be in CA?

They are, but for Silvia. Damsel comes and goes. Michael Odom comes
and goes. Bob Pastorio died on April 1, 2008. Margaret Suran has
pretty much stopped posting. Nice to see you. Are you coming to
Minnesota again? Damsel's planning a cook-in in Albert Lea for sometime
in June, I think.

not on this ng, lol...

You might try Seasons at 1st and F Streets. They have a new chef who
seems competent. But, I haven't tried their steak. In Sacramento,
Morton's and Chops have good beef which I can attest to. You might head
down to Locke and try Al-the-Wop's. It has a unique ambience and the
steaks are not in Morton's class they are tasty and a lot cheaper.
Good luck-

I'm still here. Lots happening on the homefront, so this is the first
I've peeked at RFC for about a week. There's still way too much going
on to justify spending much time here for the time being. But you're
not rid of me. I'm like gum on the bottom of your shoe.

Welcome back!

Did that recipe get left out of the first edition? I can't find it in my
book, but I think I know who you are. Still clicking away?

Nice to see you back. Do you still read the newsgroup where they
discuss guns and tequila? I still read the group but I stopped posting
there several years ago.

Hmm. How old do you have to be? I was on in Chicago what, 15? years
ago. Cook-in at Kate's(?) condo on the lake. Any of you I met there?

Then I was absent for a few years and lost touch.

CC wouln't post my pic the last time I sent it (Gazpachinator), but
maybe I'll try again with a more normal one.

Welcome back.

Wasn't there a comic routine about that? Something like: "What if the
Hokey-Pokey really IS what it's all about?"

There are a lot of us around, but many of us aren't posting as much as
we used to. I've been posting here since about '94, but have done so
less and less as work piles up, the years pile on and my attention
span shortens :-)

Hmmm, at a guess, I'd say a certain fellow who had how many days he'd
quit smoking in his sig. Yes?

<laughs> I have yet to be on a single usenet group that doesn't. ;-)

I should join that list. Might encourage me to get off my ass and use my
scuba gear in the closet again. It's been a few years, but taking
another refresher course would not be a bad idea. I don't remember how
to use dive tables.

I'm not sure either. I've been here since 1996. Used to post as "Katra".

Remembers the name Katra, but I was not reading the group when you
changed monikers. I did not realize that was you.
