How about some garlic cheese-bread and a nice dipping-sauce?

That movie impressed me in terms of the effort put in by the actors to learn the moves (knife skills, pot throwing, etc.) and overall martyr syndrome/resentful attitude towards âPhilistinesâ displayed by real cooks.
But the fact that the kitchen was approximately the same size as the dining area, combined with the charactersâ appalling lack of hustle, totally killed my disbelief suspension. Time to lean, time to clean, Shalhoub!
(The âdreamyâ approach kept reminding me of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, so this whimsical proto-Foodie-porn film took on an unintended aura of menace. For my money, Treme did a much better job of getting across the idea of a small-staff kitchen and the food/life passions of its denizens.)
Anyway, more starches for everyone! 'Murika!
Iâll repeat this, so that you understand better: Alabama. They barely have cell reception in vast swaths of the state due to lack of demand and a sparse population. Very conservative, and a bit stuck in the past.
Edit: hit the wrong button too soon. Huntsville has to be better than little towns in the middle of the woods, but the smallest violation of social contracts could likely get you fired. Stealing mail, whether true or made up to add something overthetop to the list is going to get you fired most places in the US.
Thatâs-a-right.
If there are no cheques on and the kitchen is clean for gods sake start cooking some of the food thatâs about to go off.

see, what you are doing is snapping to the worst possible case for her little confession. Whereas I see it as she is exaggerating something she did because she is a little mortified herself. She probably went in the mailroom and retrieved a letter she herself had mailed or something equally unchallenging, but embarrassing to admit.
You want to find fault and point fingers (as you did to me) I want to understand the human story. My approach leads to considering the untold part of the story and using empathy to fill in the blanks. Your approach leads to castigating strangers in public forums. Takes all kinds.
Thanks, Iâd never heard of Treme before. I just put the first disc in my Netflix queue.
@Felton @grumblebum ever seen Dinner Rush?
Not yet, but itâs now in the queue, right after Treme.
Likewise!
Hopefully, I havenât led you astray. The real focus isnât pro food production, but rather the beauty/dysfunction of New Orleans. Punctuated with tons of largely-live music segments.
So, kinda laid-back, kinda angry, and totally awesome.
I find the side dishes highly questionable. Thereâs already pasta in the food, why is there rice on the side? And sliced, undressed, cold cucumber snuggled up to presumably warm meatloaf on the plate grosses me out (and I love me some sliced, undressed cold cucumber. It just doesnât âgoâ here.)
Your reply is confusing. I accuse no one of anything. Nor did I assert any opinion as to why she posted this list. And I certainly did not castigate any strangers, yourself included.
Either you meant to respond to someone else, or youâve done a terrible amount of erroneous between-line reading.
Maybe she is cool with her mail being stolen.
Iâll eat yours. I have yet to conceive of a meal that wouldnât be improved by a side of sliced, undressed cold cucumber. And rice + pasta? No doubt my future cardiologist salivates at the prospect, but I wouldnât turn it down.
Could it at least be in a little bowl on the side? I love cold cucumbers, I really do. I just⌠donât smash 'em up against that big warm hunka beef!
No, I think your reply was attached to the wrong post and wasnât a reply to something I said at all. So your impertinent tone annoyed me. Pissy, what?
Ah, now I getcha. Youâre right. I guess I was just assuming that chunk of macaronimeatcake was cold. It looks like it was built from scratch to resemble a leftover.
