Haines His Way

P.S. Fearless Leader ~ Another success story about my amazon posting experience. I went into the site and posted my review without any help from Case.  Did it all by my lonesome...The Cro-Magnon is evolving!

It's already well into Saturday were.  Go for it.

Murphy's Law -- I'm ready to zing him and he's left the screen...but tomorrow's another day  

Jose-I want a taste of the sundae, minus the caviar.  

Maybe Jose knows:  Is there any way to get that dessert caviar without buying the overpriced sundae?  

I've had "dessert caviar" before that was made from pearl tapioca, but from the sundae description, it looks like they're just using American Golden Caviar which is very mild to begin with.  It's used a lot for garnishing, and it's often tinted/colored and flavored to suit the respective dish.  And the description does say it's infused with passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.

I wouldn't be surprised to find it carried at Dean & DeLuca or Balducci's.  Although, frankly, I think all you really would have to do is buy a jar of American Golden Caviar, empty it into a bowl, pour some passion fruit and orange juices and Armagnac over it... Then drain, and serve.

I'm guessing it's like the tobiko that sushi chefs use, another very mild-tasting fish roe.  -Which is also colored and flavored according to the chef's whim.


*I've colored tobiko before - and it's very easy.  So, that's why I think it would be easy to "sweeten" the golden caviar.

Of course, what I meant to say in the above post... It's probably more of texture thing than anything else.  Truly a gilding of the lily.

And dear talented and hubba-hubba Jose.......may your lily remain forever gloriously gilded!  

And to Dear Esteemed BK, and the assorted crazies and lovelies - - my eyes are tired early tonight, so it's "fall over time" very soon for me.

Goodnight DR Laura .... don't let the crazy man get you down.

....... goodnight Lucy.....Fred drank too much, and Ethel didn't want to have to be so dumpy.....

Just discovered some very interesting information. Looks like planes are landing and taking off from the airport in Omaha, but I-29 from Omaha to Sioux City is still closed and is expected to remain closed all weekend. SO, I may get to Omaha on Sunday, but I don't know if I'll make it home!

I left her payment through Sunday evening. I am definitely going to have to send her a bonus for this one.

After my big debut tomorrow, I'm considering going to either The Vertical Hour or Company tomorrow night..

DR Elmore, did you get your charts done?

LOL, Singdaw is what I meant....Francois, you should know to read what I mean, not what I type!

I guess that's what I should also try to do with Ann Coulter: know to hear what she means, not what she says!

If she were French, I guess her name would be Ann Le Pen (in the ...)

I comedy about cavemen didn't work thirty years ago on CBS (IT'S ABOUT TIME), and I suspect it won't work now either. Frankly, I find those caveman commercials painfully unfunny.

I am eating chocolate. It is good.

Protector? Nuts.

 
 
 

My Panasonic DVD player (2 years old) has a connection for a three-prong cable called "to enjoy progressive video" - is this what is used instead of the "s" cable to get the better picture on a one them new fangled tee vees?

Yes, you must use the component outputs (red-blue-green) in order to turn on progressive scan video. And in most players, that doesn't happen automatically. Once you plug in those cables, go to the setup menu on your DVD player and choose 480p in the video settings. The default is 480i which is all you can get with s-video.

I LOVE the movie THE ELEPHANT MAN. John Hurt got all the reviews, but I honestly thought Anthony Hopkins was the heart and soul of the movie and got overlooked.
