Cookware Advice

If there is a Le Creuset outlet nearby, you can get most of their line discounted. Also, they sell "seconds" (pieces that dont pass quality standards) for much cheaper. Some of the pieces have noticeable flaws, but MOST do not. If you take a little time to examine the piece you're buying, there should be no real problem.

Spumoni: Love It or Leave It?

Hey- I grew up and live in Tennessee. We have Spumoni here. My Dad grew up in southern GA. He had it as a child there. We both love it.

I think it is just a matter of taste and if you go to the right places outside of areas with Italian populations.

And I think its popularity it on the rise! In my city there has only been one place to get it that I ever knew of, and now there are two or three. It is a city, but a small one.

Cookware Advice

Cast iron are too heavy for the common home user. It takes longer to heat, it's difficult to maneuver, their is a danger of rust etc. I can recommend the German brand Woll Cookware. Since I bought one in Germany 2 years ago, I was very happy with my titanium coated frying pan that performs with first rate cooking results, and it's also PFOA free. I can say that this is one of the best frying pans available. Heavy duty titanium based coating, practically can be used without oil, easy handling and cleaning. I couldn't find them in the US, maybe someone knows were they can be found? more information can be found at http://www.woll-cookware.com/mediathek/defaultScripts/PHP/index.php?lang=4&sn=noNav&sel=1&c=/export/English/doc/90.html or http://www.woll-cookware.co.il

Hey Baha:
Nostrand Avenue (especially in front of Senior's) and Kings Highway with the low spark of high heeled boys were the hangouts. Can't say much about the Italians and Irish but we certainly mixed it up around Marine Park.
Dang if this ain't makin' me nostalgic...

DMorriso--Where I grew up in Brooklyn (Marine Park), it was Italians and Irish on the side streets, and the Jewish population on the avenues. I have no explanation for this.
