Is that the place on the virtual south side of downtown SLO where they
do the Q in the parking lot out front? If so, I have always intended
to try the place when visiting but never have. The smell from that
parking lot is enticing.

I have a friend who is a wonderful kind woman, not much of a cook, but
really nice, and lives in a lovely home in a nice neighbourhood. One of
her neighbour's is a chef. The chef's wife called and invited her and
her husband to a party for her chef husband. Our friend and the chef
family had been to a party at my brother's where my nephew had cooked a
quick roasted beef tenderloin fir a short time in a very hot oven.

Chef's wife extended this invitation to my friend and asked if she could
bring that dish. She also asked her to bring two bottles of wine, one
red and one white. She specified which wines. Then chef's wife asked
her to bring enough of the meat dish for 20. The date of the party is
also our friend's birthday.

Current prices for a whole beef tenderloin around her are about $80. The
wines turn out to be $20 a piece. My friend was not thrilled. She
discussed it with her husband, who said screw that we'll have our own
party her for that money. She called back the chef's wife, clarified the
date..... ooops sorry. I didn't know that my husband had planned a party
for me here on that night so sorry, but we can't make it.

Our Scoundrel Buddy, Dimitri, got us all thinking about our proudest moment.
Here's a flip......what is your most memorable faux pas? It can be what
ever you wish, something you did that no one picked up on but you are still
embarassed to admit or something that you did that EVERYONE picked up and
won't let you live down. Here's mine:

When I was a young married with only one kidlet, we lived in a mobile home
across the street from my in-laws house. Being economical, I made 'burgers'
using turkey meat and popped them under the broiler...

Great-looking stove and by all accounts it works great, too. I am sure
you'll enjoy it.

A stove equivalent to Lamborghini is in a different class, though, and
the prices reflect this. Check out the likes of La Cornue, Molteni, or
Lacanche. They are not just toys for the rich, either, as the likes of
Bocuse and Gordon Ramsay use them, some even in their own homes.

Other than the obvious nuts or no nuts, does anyone do anything to dress
up a standard store bought brownie mix?
Son is holding a "grill & keg" birthday party for his roommate and asked
me to make a cake. Not having time before work, I just put together some
brownies but wanted to make them a bit special and came up blank. So for
future reference......
Thanks :)
