OK...so there are FOUR Krispy Kremes in New York. One of the five listed stores only has donuts delivered to them from one of the "factories," so it doesn't count. But still...FOUR??? There should be at least 10 in Manhattan alone. One on every corner - like Starbucks. And we need at least two in Astoria. Yes, I said two - one for me and one for the rest of them. :)

I'm kind of listening to Guy Haines. I'm listening to the Radio Show right now. I assume I will get my CDs in the next day or two. I had them sent to the office. I'll be on the lookout for them.

Oh yes, all those grammatical pitfalls drive me absolutely batty.  Was always a pleasant surprise to see correct usage now and then in my standardized test scoring job.  

As Ann will confirm, the one that really gets me is one that does not have to be written to be noticed, but a simple case of using the incorrect word.  It seems to me that the word "fewer" is disappearing from our language, all too often being incorrectly replaced by "less."  For some reason, that error is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.  If an item can be individually counted, then a reduction in amount would be "fewer."  If it's just some conglomerate quantity, then when you lose some you have "less."  Not sure why, but that one drives me absolutely bonkers.

As I said, most of the CDs went out on Saturday morning, so I'm glad to see they got there safely.  Can someone tell me if there was any wear and tear on the priority envelope?  The rest of the orders are going out today.  The pressing plant are pressing the additional 250 copies they shorted me on, and repressing all the ones I had left - and they're doing them in one hour, so everything can still go out.  So, what I will say is, that if anyone absolutely cannot live with their slightly wrinkled booklet, I'll replace it with your next order.

Happily, I've always known the difference between its and it's, although in the heat of writing I sometimes do it wrong by accident, but I always see it and fix it.  Same with your and you're.

The transfer went very fast.  Luckily, the 16 track tape was in perfect shape after all these years.  We thankfully used Scotch brand - had we used Ampex, there most likely wouldn't have been any oxide left and we would have been out of luck.  I think the songs that are on this tape will sound 1000% better than what was on the LP.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be five and not four songs that were on the missing tape, but the bulk of the album will still be all newly remixed, and we'll be able to help the other five tracks with EQ.

Something I haven't tried myself is making pate a choux.  Of course, there is Alton Brown's recipe, but giving his funnel cakes a try might be a little easier.

I remember years ago, Cyndi Lauper was on the Arsenio Hall Show (it was that long ago) and she had a grammar quiz for Arsenio.  She had written on a chalkboard a run-on sentence and Arsenio had to correctly punctuate it.  This is the sentence:

Where John had had had Jane had had had had had had had had the teacher's approval.

I think I've posted this before, but can anyone correctly punctuate this and turn it into two complete sentences? ;)

Now I know it as Mille Feuille. (I think I spelled it right) It translates as Thousand Flakes  Again it must have custard and not whip cream. But sure what it is called in the USA




This looks like a Napoleon to me.  Good ones with custard are hard to find these days, for me anyway.  I'm sure Jose can inform me of multiple bakeries with excellent custard filled ones.

DR JMK, I'm going to Portland for a meeting from Aug 3-7.

Cilaliz we will also be in Portland those dates.  We are going to a wedding on the evening of the 6th and we have a son to visit.  I hope we can all get together.  MBarnum doesn't live far and possibly the Washington crowd will drive down.

I'm of the opinion that food isn't worth having if you don't have a little anti-foaming agent added.

I LOVE Chick Fil A!! They have them in New Jersey.  Rodzinski and I indulge when we do our weekend roadtrips to suburbia.  I think what makes them so amazing is that the buns are SOAKED in butter.

Okay, now I am officially starving!

Have you ever been to "La Farine" in Oakland (near Berkeley) on College Avenue?

Their pastries are TO DIE FOR.  The morning buns are heaven, but their "chocolatines" are out of this world!

http://www.lafarine.com/


I've never been there, but it looks amazing.  I will have to check it out on my next trip to Cali!

I have been craving chocolate all morning and trying very hard to be good today.  When possible I’m speed reading through the food posts.  I’m doing the same with the chicken ones.  Maybe if I read them I would loose my craving for chocolate. ;D

Cillaliz & Jane, August 5 looks like the best bet.  We're having Gabe's birthday party on Betsy's actual birthday, August 6 (we'll be on the road when Gabe's actual birthday hits).

Don't even get me started on "aks" for "ask."

JRand54--Guy Haines was in your mailbox today? However did you manage to extricate him?

elmore--I may not ever eat chicken again. Perhaps I'll consume mass quantities of Beard Papa cream puffs and chocolate cake like DR Hisaka's instead.
