Again, your logic eludes me. If they are synonymous, how can they not be
named after the grapes the wine is named after. Is not a zinfandel wine
made from zinfandel grapes? Is not a charonnay wine made from chardonnay
grapes? Maybe if you give us an example of a dorm named after a varietal
wine that is not based on a grape of the same name.

I visited my daughter a few years ago while she was going to SS. She lived
in Santa Rosa, and I just loved it up there, it was so green and beautiful.
She also told me that when the University was first started, it was a
'clothing optional' university, from back in the free love hippy daze. <g>

east east? i wouldn't mind if their food was a little better.

yet the *washingtonian* magazine seems to think they are the bee's
knees. is there a restaurant near you that gets rave reviews and you
don't really understand why? (i'll acknowledge the possibility that
i'm not ordering the right things, but if a place is supposed to be
excellent, you'd expect them to at least do a *good* job with
everything.)

It's semantics, dhalink. Wine grapes are not supposed to be
eaten; they are a crop which is fermented and made into
wine.

Think of Hops. Their big contribution is to beer.
Same idea, different execution.

Hear Ye one and all, to the Word - as it is spoken by sf:

In the Beginning there were grapes. Soon grapes fermented
and man became inebriated. After man decided getting drunk
was a good thing, he learned to farm crop of grapes which
eventually became known by their varietal names.

Honor California, but let ye not forget the contributions of
France, Italy, Germany, Spain and their honored brethren.

Crossing self chanting:
In the name of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe.

YES!!! THAT was her description too, though she insists
(even today) that it's foccacia. I told her to bring home
an expample so I could see it, because I'm still unclear on
the concept.

YES, it most certainly does! Thak you sooo much.
:-)

Q: Is piadina something you normally buy at the grocery (in
Italy) or do you usually make it yourself?

TIA!

Oh, you don't know about the Elvis bathmats a local radio station gives out
here in Memphis around Elvis "Death week" huh? comes with a chalk
outline...
hilarious!

A friend of mine was a nurse at Methodist Hospital when he was brought in
and pronounced dead. She told me someone stole the sheets off the gurney he
was transported on. One day, I suppose, we'll find them for sale on eBay,
although how they'd ever explain having them (or proving they were "the"
sheets) is more than we care to think about.

No, you didn't! Didn't mean to imply you did. But chianti is Italian...

Oh, definitely, it's common. Chicken Scampi. Pieces of white meat
chicken made the same way in the same sauce as shrimp scampi. I
really like it.
