Pretty good...:D

I've never had absinthe so I don't know the effects it would have on me. I've been interested in it since I first read of it. The ritual aspects appeal to me. I do know that different alcohol blends have different effects on me when taken in large amounts. Maybe it's all phycological, but...

Back when I was waiting tables, I called every woman miss. The ones who needed to be called miss, did not mind, and the ones that were more properly called maam enjoyed it, being treated as younger. The ones more properly called mum or grandma always smiled real big at beeing called miss. I...

Well, the Albertsons did not have any, but the Kmart did. In fact, they had the hash, the corned beef, and the roast beef with potatoes, so I bought a bunch. For once, Kmart does not suck.;) The Hereford hash is certainly different. The potatoes are firmer and the meat grainier. Even my...

Yes. More dense with more flavor than most white breads though. THe loaf is about an 1 1/2" thick and (I'd guess) 8-10" in diameter. They cut the loaf in 1/2 for poboys or you can buy it whole, 1/2 or 1/4 for Muffaletas. I understand they are the best muffaleta in Lake Charles, but I've...

The Rueben is my favorite "available everywhere" sandwich. It's also one of the only sandwiches I can order without modification. My alltime favorite if the Cajun Roast Beef sandwich at Pronia's Deli in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is a roastbeef sandwich on muffalata style bread, with...

A friend of mine has an antique toaster that I never tire of watching. When the bread is put in, it automatically drops, then pops back up when done.

Many of you have probably heard of Crosley radios, but Crosley built automobiles as well. A unique, sub compact american made car from the 40's; http://www.crosleycars.com/

I'll check Albertsons. I sent an e-mail to Hereford's and was told to look at Kmart. I don't think there are any in Houston, but there is one in Lake Charles, which I'll be passing through on my way home from offshore. There is an Albertsons in the same parking lot. My girlfriend calls...

My problem is that the crust sticks to the skillet. I think this is one instance where a cast iron skillet is more non-stick than "non-stick." I love cast iron, but the previous owner of my house opted for form over function and put a glass-top range in. Cast iron will scratch the glass...

I've not seen the Hereford products at the stores I go to in Houston. Found one online store, but they say it takes up to 6 weeks to deliver.

Where do you get it?

Sounds good. Maybe when I get back from Brazil.

I've had some CBH at a Katz Deli that had onion, large chunks of potato, and corned beef in it, but it was not that CBH I've grown to love, so it was not apealing to me. My problem with getting a crust on the canned stuff is that it sticks to the skillet, no matter how much, or what kind of...

To me, this is quintessential golden era breakfast food. Much more interesting than ham, bacon, or sausage. The first time I had it was at a lakeside camp the morning after a serious party. You know, the kind with lots of alcohol, food, and heartache. I had seen it in old movies, and here...
