unprofitable. The Dinner Table and UTGT in its
various iterations, to name a couple you may have
heard of.

Not sure I've heard of the latter... I've seen references to the former

The latter was started by Kevin when he was unhappy
with being called out for rudeness and the spewing of
general nonsense over here. At some point Dirty Dave
had some involvement in it, I'm not clear on what.

Oh, ok... I have heard tales of that, just didn't recognize the
initials...

on recipes that have shown up here.... When the fidonet GENEALOGY went
to a mailing list, I had the same experience, though... it just wasn't
the same at all...

The genre has some amusements attached to it, but
there's no pacing, and it tends to feel like an
ingroup setting.

Yup.

Cream, butter, and vanilla can do wonders. I used to have
a tagline "Eat the rich! Butter, cream, and eggs forever.

I'll have to put that into my tagfile... ;)

Sure. I'm ambivalent about whether these things
should be credited. Problem is that they tend to
get wrongly credited afterward. You know,
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

Heh. yeah...

Special Dark thrown in with the regular chocolate, peanut and rice varieties... now there's peanut and rice types in the dark chocolate, too... :)

I've met these at the Shipps', I think.

Could be.... Had a disappointment Friday when we went shopping... discovered that where those Special Dark assortment bags were was an
empty slot... with a Discontinued Item sale tag in front of it.... Dunno
if it's just our store that's doing that, or Wegmans in general... or if Hershey's is discontinuing it... don't know of any reason why, in any case....!

You could ask the Wegmans management.

Further developments (all the Hershey Original Size bags had
Discontinued Item tags on them, with 5% discount, the next week, and
still this week) seem to indicate that perhaps it's just a way to clear
the shelves of old stock to make room for new packaging.... If the
answer doesn't just happen, I might just ask... :)

Galaktoboureko (milk custard pie)

Not quite what I was picturing... but it looks pretty good... :)

I rather like it, crave it once in a long while,
maybe when my Mediterranean blood starts acting up,

So did you suggest that you might make some at the picnic this year....?

be made here. Maybe they have a double crew, one watching
the game while the other works, then switching off.

Ah... so pork tenderloin sandwiches... Having a double crew, so as to be able to also enjoy the games, would make the trip more worthwhile to the crews as well as to the bosses... ;)

That was just a speculation but seems to ring
true. The schnitzel on steroids things oould be
associated with any region with a pork industry
and people with Germanic (or Japanese!) ancestry.
To me they represent the highest expressions of both
Teutonic cookery and pork tenderloin itself, which
otherwise is too lean with consequent taste and
texture issues.

Indeed. Fu's breaded pork cutlet is nicely moist... :) Tuesday we
stopped in at Fu's, and Richard ordered the Katsudon with the chicken
cutlet (as actually described in the menu), having tried it the previous
time with a pork cutlet... Before Fu went back to actually make it, the discussion turned to dark vs white chicken... turned out that he had
some thigh meat in the kitchen (purchased for his own use and for the
family) which he offered to make a cutlet from for Richard... Dark meat
chicken cutlet was even better in the Katsudon... :) One of these
days, I'll order the Oyakidon made with dark meat chicken... the white
meat is one of the main reasons I never order that any more... ;)
