Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Okay, so last night, I stared at a double magnum of Château Lafite Rothschild 1874 that apparently costs $35,000. I was afraid to move lest I break anything and have to take out a loan.
Wow.
I've also got a cookbook of community recipes that was sold to raise money for the Kennebunkport library. It's got a few from Barbara Bush. (Including a baked beans recipe that starts with two cans of baked beans. I don't understand these things.)
Shrift - they just have bottles of wine that cost as much as a car lying around for any random klutz to fall over and break? Talk about your luxury dining. . .

My favorite from, I think, Hannah Glasse was Veal Potage with Eel Jellly.

I should write up the Charlie Trotter's experience. I'm not going to have that kind of gustatory experience again anytime soon.
There were at least four $35,000 double magnums of wine in that wine cellar, which is only one of four cellars in the restaurant. I kept thinking that Danny and Rusty could make some easy money there.

Well, I know what Sort I am. Lardoons? Heeheee.
msbelle, yay on getting him in today. yay on getting precert stuff starting. That's a nightmare that I'm too familiar with.
I don't want Noah to move. I don't want to disrupt him where he is and where he has been since birth. Plus I love Huntington's staff and I am comfortable there. Plus he's doing well and I worry that a move might undo some of that progress.

Oh, it was in a locked wine cellar, in a wine rack above my head. Still afraid to move and bump the rack with my purse, though.

I love them! I have several from both my family in Texas and from up here.
