Funny the wine label shows the "golden mean" symbol. On my marker tour, tomorrow's marker will mention the "golden section" in reference to the NBC building.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441587761200812711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-18602577314494783912009-07-20T07:47:45.026-07:002009-07-20T07:47:45.026-07:00TWC,

Not a lot of late night options around here.<br /><br />Fredric,<br />I wrote about the Cognac story in a <a href="http://wine-by-benito.blogspot.com/2006/10/cognac-tasting-notes-for-october-5-2006.html" rel="nofollow">previous post</a>--it was a lucky confluence of gifts and timing, not a regular part of our Christmas celebrations. Still incredible, though. <br /><br />Samantha,<br />The <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Poach-Eggs-in-Plastic-Wrap-Perfect-Poached-Eggs-Every-Time" rel="nofollow">linked instructions</a> explain the plastic wrap poached egg method with pictures. Just put them in a basket or something so they don't touch the bottom of the pan. Much better results than the sad, soggy, floppy things you get from just dropping them in the water.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-23404204408360706292009-07-20T07:29:48.417-07:002009-07-20T07:29:48.417-07:00Okay first of all, Awe, how sweet, all of it, the ...Okay first of all, Awe, how sweet, all of it, the breakfast, the pizza and a movie and the "best brother"...Fredric is right, what a family. Secondly that breakfast looks delicious and what is the Saran Wrap egg method? Lastly, like the new color on your header thing, looks crisper.

In particular, I remember eating mushrooms for the first time (on a pizza) sometime after midnight when I was around six or seven. I think we watched a Marx Brothers movie while we ate.<br /><br />Those who have never had to work the odd hours can't truly appreciate how much a good hot meal means at those lonely times. It's why we'll tip 50% at Waffle House if we find ourselves at a yellow booth at 3 a.m.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-2773338471606722462009-07-19T20:17:13.839-07:002009-07-19T20:17:13.839-07:00That is a breakfast/brunch/late night dinner to re...That is a breakfast/brunch/late night dinner to remember.
