What did I tell ya . . . lamb!
will wick give you extra points for mentioning d home?
sounds good, tho bound to be a bit pricey. (i couldn't get the salum web sight to come up to check the menu.)
i got the web site but the menu isn't posted yet. it says there will be a daily tasting menu, however
Twisted Dog has raised a ruckus on the last blog item, the one about that schokalad place
Sounds very Lola-esque, don't you think Ms.ery?
actually, i haven't been to lola. i don't get around to as many tony places as i used to -- and can't say that i mind all that much
i don't even get around to the semi-fast food places very much any more. everything seems to go for rent
What's semi fast food? Boston Market?
i guess boston market would be one, but was thinking of places like mike's subs and cowboy chicken on greenville, crescent city in irving. just places with well-prepared food tho you order at the counter. even good bbq places would qualify. if i could just get my rent under $725 i might be able to stretch my pension so i could hit something other than taco bell or jack in the box -- and afford some of those designer chocolates. does anyone know of any places in a nice, friendly neighborhood?
Mary Worth, are you colluding with Twisted Link? You just gave him a great straight line.
twisted: that building is lovely. are there places to eat nearby that aren't TOO expensive?
twisted, it sounds wonderful!!! there's just one more criteria. as you probably know if you have followed my life, i NEED to be involved with other people, to help them solve their problems large and small. are the tenants of the other three apartments in need of help? the other people on the block? i know what some people say about oak cliff, but i am not afraid of drive-by shootings. I simply MUST live someplace where i can be of help and consolation to others.
believe me, twisted, you let her near that apartment and she will run out every other tenant. ms. nosybody should be her name.
as the store today, i bought a newman's own package of peanut butter-filled dark chocolate cups. noted he also had his own blend of coffees, an oreo-type cookie and much more. he was -- and perhaps still is -- such a dreamboat. always longed to meet him; met ms. woodward once, and i couldn't believe how tiny she was, no more than 5 foot 2 or so. probably he is short, too, but those eyes! anyways his products all help a good cause. (by the way, haven't tasted them yet, but those chocolate cups are ORGANIC)
WHO IS CLOSE PAREN?
oh,shit, it's my twin. just when i thought i had found a place where i wouldn't be shadowed by that albatross
your names are interesting. i would like to meet you ) and (
why do children always fight? my husband, paul, and i have always treated them equally, yet ) and ( are always )( instead of ()
re salum, which i believe is supposed to be today's topic: pomegramate-lacquered pork chops sound great, as does wild mushroom spoon bread. but i will await your report before ordering ginered spaghetti squash.
noted that dean picked up on the lamb, a meat i love. needless to say, i also love truffles -- who wouldn't -- but i fear the dijon mustard might overpower them, or at least detract from their wonderful aroma and flavor
i agree. with truffles, simplicity is everything. all you need to do is shave one over a softly coddled egg
where is tg? after posting, she hasn't returned to answer any of our pressing questions.
oh, i imagine she turns in early. living so far north, there is a lack of oxygen which saps ones energy and mind
actually, plano is south of oklahoma
my point. exactly.
twisted is being quiet, too. he must be on deadline at work or getting a booster shot.
thankfully, that mongrel of his ain't barking either
has anyone been to parigi lately? is it good enough that we should expect lots from salum? frankly, i always found it was a bit overrated.
i think twisted has some cajun spices in that hypo. bet he and his dawg want to be just like my missus and me.
have been out scouting new blog items. ever since that pushy ms.ery griped about 7-11 getting too much attention, i've had to devote my spare time scouring one small convenience store after another, trying to find the faberge egg that will please her.
parigi: i think has sunken terribly. the ownership is not original; i don't think they know what they're doing. i noted abraham salum got a tout in 2001 from TX Monthly ... but their reviews are not bylined so it's difficult to know whether it's a review you can trust
I was driving past and saw this place last night. It's in that tiny little strip mall next to the dry cleaners. Not much parking there and not the ideal place for a restaurant. Blink and you'll miss it.
I had some truffel oil last night. Mmmmmm.
Parigi has been a culinary and -- especially -- service black hole for years. Don't go near it.
Have been to Salum several times since it opened in September. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Chef Salum did a great job, and it's nice to watch him work in the open kitchen. Really enjoyed ourselves.
