I have long been a fan of Adagio's teas and products, and I will give this serious consideration for my office. I spend a lot of time in there, love tea, and my office mate does as well. This could really work. Thanks for mentioning it!
horizontal rows with typewriter noises in my head (ha ha), but also (and mostly) I cut it off the cob and use it in other things. Mostly the "other things" include "eating the entire pile before it gets to the fridge" because I love corn.
a-ha! see, the Pennsylvania whoopie pie has no marshmallow. It's just white sugar icing between cakes. That's why it's awesome. :)
have fun at the potluck!
REAL whoopie pies, and not those things people in Maine try to pass off as whoopie pies.
[kidding, Maine people...kind of...]
also, another shout out for lebanon bologna! try to explain THAT one in...well, not Pennsylvania.
half moon pies and anything with chicken and dough (pot pie, chicken and waffles, chicken and noodles, whatever) are the things I really miss the most. my dad sends me whoopie pie care packages frequently, so I'm covered there. They freeze well, so go on and stock yourself up. :)
I will add this to my collection -- I love a good risotto. Funny thing, every time I say "I'm making risotto," I get the whole "oooh, but isn't it time-consuming and difficult?" Like you, I realized quickly how to modify the textbook way of making risotto and I absolutely can't see a difference...except I get to eat good food with less fuss. :)
Shuna Fish Lydon's Yellow Cake recipe is the best I have ever eaten. The batter was so good that it almost didn't make it into the pan. :) Pairing it with her chocolate frosting is also a wise move. I make this cake + frosting for event/potluck/etc I go to -- people request it!
These comments are funny...mostly because I had the same thoughts the other week when someone handed me a bag of goo and instructions that included instant pudding and other sorts of crap like that, under the heading "Amish" (etc). I looked at the person, reminded them that I am from a county in PA with a great number of Amish folks (Mifflin, if anyone cares) and in no uncertain terms informed this person that instant pudding and Amish recipes do not mesh.
We got a good laugh out of it, but I also remember wondering about the freezing of the goo. I ended up chucking the stuff in the trash and calling my folks to have then send me some actual Amish baked goods from back home. :)
My favorite SF sushi place is Hamano Sushi at 24th & Castro. There are, of course, plenty of excellent sushi places in the area, many of which I have not tried...mostly because I keep going back to this one!
I'm not a big fan of overly high tech gadgets for the gentle and traditional art of tea making.
Ironcheff, it depends. A lot of green teas do just fine at that temperature. It's only the delicate Japanese greens that I like that have a problem with it; they get really astringent.
i think 185 is decent for green tea. there's a lot on the web, but it seems a good average temp seems to be around 175 for green tea. i see 180-185 fairly often. the higher range of the temp is needed to bring out the necessary tannins in the leaves.
Yeah, I think it would be perfect for that setting.
RE: wookie: "....she has no idea what a typewriter is."
You would have to have a very wide mouth, or the corn very short ears, to remove the kernals like a laser printer!

Another yummy variation on grilled corn: Grill in husk, then instead of butter, spread a little mayo, sprinkle with Anchote chili powder, some grated parm cheese, and a squirt of lime. Sounds crazy, but it's delicious!!!

I've had corn just like the above mentioned. It looked crazy when the Mexican vendor was making it up on a stick, however my father said he'd had it before and it was great. He was right, it was absolutely fabulous!
I made the typewriter noise while eating corn with my 4 year old niece. Just to show you how much times have changed...she has no idea what a typewriter is. When I tried to explain it to her she said, "Oh! like my computer! Can it do noggin.com?" Anywho, she still thought the "ding!" was a hoot.
FYI: The average ear of corn has 800 kernels, always arranged in 16 rows. There is one piece of silk for each kernel.
