yes! Last time I went my bf mentioned to the waitress that I was a big fan of Wylie's and she offered to show us the kitchen and take me to meet him. After dinner she brought us back, showed us where to stand so we wouldn't bother any of the chefs and then we met Wylie. He was really friendly despite my incoherent ramblings and gushing.

everyone's meals sound so good! It's freeeezing here tonight. I crisped up some leftover brown rice in a pan with sesame oil, soy sauce and sriracha and then just heated up some leftover moo shu chicken in the same pan and sprinkled it all with cilantro and sesame seeds. I steamed some cauliflower to eat on the side but the white pepper that I refilled the grinder with and then ground onto the cauliflower had a horrible smell to it, so I couldn't eat the veggies. woops.

well I've been sick with a bad cold for the past 3 days, so I just ordered out for wonton soup and mooshoo chicken. There is absolutely no food in my apartment and I've been subsisting off Carr's water crackers with the dregs of the peanut butter jar today.
@memt7 - I have that pumpkin chili on my to cook list, let me know how it turns out for you.

@nithya - No, I'm not saying it's desperate to provide a link to a recipe on your blog provided it's on topic and adds to the conversation. I do think it's desperate when you have people who ONLY contribute to SE as a way to advertise - that is - it seems like they have a google alert set up to tell them when anyone on SE mentions 'key limes', because they have a key lime blog and want traffic, so then they post a trite comment about limes and link to their blog. And when you look at their profile, all their comments conform to this pattern...it makes one suspicious.
I think it's helpful to get recipes from people's blogs when they are providing a link as a resource and it adds to the thread in a meaningful way. I'm just saying that there's a time and a place...I happen to love food blogs and am always happy to discover a great new one.

Gourmet failed because it couldn't compete in an environment full of new participants (blogs) - but don't blame the market participants - blame the market forces - the same forces that once brought Gourmet its success. Kimball's cry-baby letter is a cathartic exercise on behalf of all journalists who understandably don't want to see their medium go away. However, there is still good journalism to be created - it just may be in a new shape and form and be governed by new rules.
The market place of ideas generally weeds out the bad journalism (the 'fools') and rewards the good ones. And if there is a large enough demand for the kind of journalism that Kimball considers worthy of his standards, and if the only way to get it is to pay for it, then these superior journalists will get paid for their work.

Kimball can have a little cry but then he should take a good look at reality and stop whining. Serious Eats, Orangette, Smitten Kitchen, David Lebovitz - are each examples of blogs that have learned to excel in the new environment, have captured the delight of readers and have put out quality journalism.

chicken fingers or nachos.

My recipe is similar to Martha's but it is way creamier and not baked (which I think dries out the sauce): Make a white sauce while you are boiling the pasta. Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot it came from and add 2 T of butter, then stir over a very low light. Add the white sauce to the pasta and stir to coat. Then start adding in big handfuls of grated cheese (I use cheddar and gruyere - about 4 cups total) and stir after each handful until melted. Once all the cheese is in and melted, crack in a whole egg and stir quickly to coat everything and avoid scrambling the egg. Serve right away.
The result is SUPER rich and gooey delicious mac and cheese.

Inglehoffer all the way. I put that stuff on everything - and all varieties. It is divine.
Interestingly, French mustard from France seems waaay hotter than what we have here. Even if you get the Grey Poupon extra spicy, it's not as hot.

I will - thanks!

@ mr guy - are you talking about Pisticci (the place on LaSalle)? If so, it's still there I believe.

Community Food and Juice is good but I think they are currently closed. Symposium is fun and the best thing to get is the symposium salad. Max Soha on Amsterdam is very good and well priced. Le Monde is reliable and good. Deluxe is pretty good for breakfast but can be unreliable. Silver Moon Bakery is a must-go place for all baked goods.

I have no idea. I won't get home until probably around 9:45 and I know I'll be starving by then. Probably something easy.
