My grandma's homemade noodles in chicken gravy.

I live in Portland and travel solely by bicycle.

Keep searching the tv schedule in vain. Looks like OPB (Portland, OR) will not be broadcasting Reichl's show. Boo! Anyone know why?

The Joy of Cooking, from my mother.

Nothing. I don't spend much money on clothes or entertainment, but my grocery budget is shameful.

Serve the mascarpone alongside port-poached prunes. Delectable.

Sounds like a very sad diet. Gotta stay skinny in Hollywood!

Interesting note: Susan Spungen is the sister of Nancy Spungen, of Sid and Nancy fame.

Many years ago, I was standing around with a group of co-workers just before our restaurant opened. Suddenly, everyone scattered and I smelled the most atrocious scent, one that will haunt me for eternity. The world's worst fart.

Aware of my very sensitive gag reflex, a co-worker who'd eaten vast quantities of WC the night before (and had leftovers for breakfast) hatched a plan to torture me. When she gave the signal, our co-workers fled and she unleashed the mother of all farts.

I ran to a trash can in the kitchen and began dry-heaving. Eventually, I headed back to the dining room. However, as soon as I thought of the putrid odor again, I beat a path to the bathroom, passing my boss along the way. Concerned that I was vomiting into my hands, she followed me into the toilets to check on me. In response to her query, I said "M. farted and it made me puke!" She laughed so hard, tears were streaming down her face.

Ladies and gentleman, the legendary WC fart of Nicholson's Tavern and Pub in Cincinnati, OH.

Supper sounds quaint and country-ish. I don't care for it.

I, too, worked at Larosa's in college. It is definitely subpar. Skyline, however...dreamy.

Middle Eastern--Moroccan, Persian, Syrian, etc...

Obviously no one from Cincinnati has posted yet, or there would be a mention of Skyline Chili. Cheese coneys and three-ways (spaghetti topped with thin, chocolate-infused chili and mounds of the most deliciously fluffy cheddar cheese) are what I crave the minute I get off the airplane. I should go home more than once a year!
