    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    when you say a thing is "like" something, it means
    that it's not that something. If I said, as
    I would to some here, that you spoke AS someone
    who had never tasted the stuff, that would mean
    that I was accusing you of never having had the
    experience.

    Ah, a subtle difference but a difference all the same.

    Next week Lilli and I are going to have our
    blowout Christmas meal at Yan Toh Heen, where
    we have preordered a crispy squab, the roast
    suckling pig platter, and pan-seared Wagyu
    with duck liver in spicy sauce.

    Wow. Just Wow. I just might be able to afford the meal, but not the
    airfare! Yeah, I know you have bejillion miles but I'd have to pay
    full tilt.

    Title: Episcopalian Chopped Liver
    6 Whole eggs
    1 lb Chicken livers

    That's a bizarre amount of eggs.

    Agreed. One, maybe two would be fine.

    What's an Anglican bridge party? Four
    Episcopalians and a fifth.

    I hadn't heard that before. But then I don't know a lot about the
    Anglican faith and the ways of the members. My grandparents were
    Anglican but my parents never attend any church unless somebody was
    getting married. Half the family were drunkards, the other half
    teetotalers, my parents being two of the few who were and remained
    moderate social drinkers.

    Speaking of steaks and prices, as we have been lately, I note that
    Costco Canada has Canadian raised Wagyu Black beef; the sirloin is
    $30 per pound and the ribeyes $50. Based on the website ad's image,
    if it can be trusted, it looks very nicely marbled, certainly
    Canadian prime, and almost to the level of fattiness of Kobe or the
    other two Japanese "Big Beefs".

    Cocotini
    4 1/2 oz Malibu Coconut Rum
    3 oz Sprite
    splash of grenadine

    Shake together everything except grenadine. Pour into
    large martini glass. Top with grenadine.

    Now you're just messing with me!


    Cheers

    Jim
