Raq, alas, you can't sub beef for chicken. The two are entirely different textures. And while marsala is sweetish to my taste buds, I really can't see retsina or ouzo as a substitute. Alas.
Sail, there's a free shuttle from San Jose airport to the Santa Clara caltrain station. The train takes you all the way into SF, for a few dollars; check the schedules at http:www.caltrain.com, weekday northbound, and see if there's anything.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm going to need your arrival info - hoping you can fly into SF, but either way, ma'am, your room is booked.
Yay Fay!!!
I got my F2F swag - the mug is gorgeous! I got the pink T-shirt and the Buffistas.org and F2F on the back are very light, but it's still pretty damn excellent.
No swag for me until next week. $%#$$% $1100 brake job on Nic's car...
Yayayayayayayayayayayayay!!!!! FAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed the request for copies of vids. Um, what Nutty said. I violated the standard protocol a few years back when I didn't know any better, and I'm a lot more cautious now.
Some vidders don't mind broad distribution. Some really really really do. Given the legal liabilities they're potentially subject to, I think it's fair to comply with their requests.
FAY!!!!
I get to meet FAY!!!!!
I get to bask in the gloriousness that is FAY!!!!!!!!
Cool.
I know Suzi said it first, but it's exactly how I feel.
Yahoo has a new airfare site
I used www.sidestep.com and feel I should spread the word to those what don't know of it.
why is this even an ISSUE?
Because I had a very very unpleasant mayonaissey surprise one time, and still bear the psychological scarring.

If it's possible to cook with either of these, I haven't figured out how. Certainly using them like wine or wine-ish things (sherry, cognac) does not work. As in, not even the dog would eat it.
I love my mug and t-shirt, although the shirt makes me look extremely chesty. I'm probably going to order something else too.

That must be the weirdest 'although' placement I've ever seen.

why was mayonnaise even IN a sushi restaurant?
Mayonnaise makes its way into various Asian cuisines with disturbing frequency. (E has horror stories about Hong Kong buffets...) That said, just a dab of spicy mayonnaise in a tuna and avocado roll can be a very nice thing indeed.
I was just going to post and say -- a blob of spicy mayonnaise on (I think my sushi place puts it on a salmon/avocado roll) sushi is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's just right.
