A widget by any other name, is still a widget. Also, widgets are things that all manufacturing companies make in business school case studies.

Hello! We are tentatively planning a trip up to invade your kitchen again in June. One of our members, Melanie Barrows lives in Manlius, maybe we can all get together to eat, drink and be merry. We'll bring lots of marshmallows for that bonfire!

Let's see the recipe/ingredients of the winning meatball. In fairness to all contestants, it isn't easy to make and be judged on a "nude" meatball. 99.9% of the time, meatballs are served with your favorite sauce and people are not accustomed to e...

forget the foie gras for dessert and try any red fruit jam or honey ... or chocolate !!

think liverwurst, Patrick, and you have the general idea - though that is made with pork liver, and has other ingredients not unlike my white hots. but the texture and livery taste are reminiscent. Foie gras is richer, creamier, and simply the liv...

No humor at you, just us two brothers going at each other because that's what we do. I like liver but I've never had this. I'm not as worldly defined as my brother nor do I have his extended palette. However, that does not inhibit my simple conco...

Foie gras is expensive ! So, Middle class people like us, eat foie gras for Christmas and new year time or special event ! It's easier too to buy foie gras all the year and not to expensive ... I can't understand the humor up there but forget it !

How nice (and dainty) there, Mary. Don't drip any on your skirt. Anyway, Laura, what do you mean "early"? Is this served only certain times of the year over there? (or do you mean the time of day?)

typically, toast points are served with a soft-boiled egg with it's top lopped off and sitting in an egg cup. with the pointy ends of the toast, one can dunk his or her toast into the egg yolk. get the "point"?

To understand the "toast point" controversy, go here. Johnny is into toast points. As a matter of fact he is known regionally as Mr. Toast Point. An envious position for anyone deep in toast point tradition and preparation.

that's just Patrick's attempt at humor
