Yes, 3 bucks, that's it. The place is packed and to go orders are crazy and they sell a lot of alcohol. The owners are great people. We went to high school together. BTW, you could get all white meat for $5. Still a great deal. They make a ton of cash on drinks alone.

I actually prefer the dark meat, Mark. It has nothing to do with the cost either. When I make cacciatore I use nothing but thighs, drumsticks and wings. The sauce comes out as sweet as sugar.

That's a really good deal Mark. I prefer dark meat too has more flavor. All that talk about zucchini flowers and mom's (and pops) kitchen makes me want to make farina cake. That's an oldie but goodie. Did you ever eat that? Good stuff.
I still have a bag of gavadeel (cavatelli) in the freezer that my pops made. It's the last thing he made with his hands. I just cannot bring myself to cook it up but I know he would be more upset if I didn't eat it and it went to waste by sitting in the freezer for so long.

Wait . . . Didn't Bobby Baccala do the same thing with his dead wife's baked ziti?

Just kidding. Happy Thanksgiving, Alfs .

Ha ha Happy Thanksgiving PB. And keep up ur wisecracks guess who might be in ur neck of the woods in a couple of weeks? That's right Me

I had the grossest mash potatoes today lol I don't know why but someone had the smart idea that nutmeg and potatoes go together. I hope I never have that again tasted like weird pumpkin pie

Nutmeg is, from my experience, a tricky spice to use. There is a thin line between enough and way too much. Add even a bit too much to just about anything, and the whole thing starts to smell like Lestoil.

I like adapting recipes from Colonial American days, and boy, did they overuse the nutmeg! Seems to have been one of their favorite spices. What was "usual" for them back in those days, would curdle your innards today - as well as being just plain inedible by our standards.

With nutmeg, a little can go quite a long way. However, my opinions only apply to ground nutmeg; I've never used the freshly grated stuff.


Signor V.

I once knew a girl called Meg and I nutted on her. She shall now go by the name Nutmeg.

Not your best, Moe .

In soccer you nutmegged an opponent. Means you put the ball past the player between the players legs.

I had some homemade chili and a baked potato with just a dollop of sour cream. Now I gotta sleep without the covers on tonight.

Nice winter meal.

I had a ham steak with a baked sweet potato and a nice salad.

I tell you what, i use the recipe from marlboro i had from years back and it's not bad at all. The only thing i have to do to it is give it a little more heat.

I'm having liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti...

I made turkey and cheese enchiladas.

Last night we had some grilled cheese sandwiches with turkey.

Nothing wrong with that. It's cold and damp here. I had Campbells tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch just a little while ago.

Matzah ball soup and a Pastrami and cole slaw from Katz's. That type of weather.

Funny how weather affects what you eat.

Especially when you're sick. I have a bad head cold. I had soup three times today.

Had to use (or freeze) two pounds of ground beef by tonight. Found a good use for it. I'll have lasagna for days.

Chinese take-out tonight.

Still waiting for my invitation, SC!!!!

We had breakfast for dinner tonight, and it was a GREAT change. Fried eggs, thick cut bacon, thick breakfast sausages, home made hash browns.

You and Mr Babe have a standing invitation. NO RSVP necessary. You have my address - just show up. Only one thing, though - bring some decent Italian bread. I can't find any up here.

That's a fair deal, SC!!!

i ate at the second ave deli on 33rd sat..not bad..they even have expresso

Come on Bronx you should know better, there is no X in espresso. LOL

It's miserable out today. I think we're having soup and potatoes and eggs.

I'm from bklyn , i speak brooklynese. spell the same way with the X...
