Mallosol is the best known Russian caviar.  Yung mailiit na itim.  I know you can relate to a biscuit of caviar downed with a glass of Dom Perignon ca 1986.  Heaven heaven heaven but in reality now, gastos gastos gastos.

 

Di balke may itlog na lang ng maya-maya o salmon roe courtesy of bods.  Yung Dom na lang problema natin.

 

hahaha problema mo pa din yung salmon roe because we dont have that....pero a salmon head teppan is a sure thing na the next time hehehe

ooops there I go again choking on my foot!  Kala ko LA si A_ngel!  Pardon my ignorance but what is the OS board?  :unsure:

 

I mistyped - the OS THREAD. On the Front Page under Groups. People living/working overseas.

 

LA and Vegas are only a 4 hour drive apart. And mole like each other than LA would like to admit. From my perspective, both are giant, overgrown circuses. (Or is that circi? Circa?)

pare basta sa resto up-to-date ka talaga ha :P

how is Per Se doing? All the top chefs in NY were trembling in their knees when they first heard that Keller was setting up shop there...

 

With only 15 tables, I don't think Per Se is much of a threat to any restaurant there. Just too small, the dining experience not a pop-in-for-a-bite kinda thing, so they're not pulling too many customers away from anyone. In fact, because people get frustrated trying to get a reservation, they end up at other high-end places so I thnk it actually drives up business everywhere. Like in Yountville - Bouchon is always busy, as are Bistro Jeanty and Pere Jeanty (owned and run by Philippe Jeanty former executive chef of Domaine Chandon just across the highway) because French Laundry draws so many people that it can't accomodate.

... but I miss pulling out cork and besides hindi nadadagdagan yung collection ko ng mga corks - which by the way sends the missus into fits whenever she sees the garapons where I keep the corks :P

 

 

a friend of my collects corks saying that it has a tenderizing property. just pop in couple in a casserole where you are cooking meats and ... the meat get tenderized, daw!

 

i dont know, he just gets my corks but i never got to try his cooking! :lol: right, pinoy?

teka OT ako ah - it could be coincidence or maybe it's now part of an overwhelming trend - pero the last two bottles I had were both of the screwtop variety. One was a weird grenache-shiraz-mourvedre-touriga blend and the other a pinot - both Aussies. Well it was nice and dandy - the flavor kept well even after 3 days, but I miss pulling out cork and besides hindi nadadagdagan yung collection ko ng mga corks - which by the way sends the missus into fits whenever she sees the garapons where I keep the corks :P

 

 

May use ang cork. Italian housewives threw two or three corks when they boiled beef or any other meat dish. It makes the beef tender in a shorter period of time. So it saves on propane.

 

I always get a cork or two and use it. Kaso lang you can't use it repeatedly.

 

One time lang. BTW my wine post is i always use cork from a red wine whichI drank.

OT POST: Sorry Bods, Sorry MODS! But I just have to share this story!

 

An Incredible Chain of Events

 

At dawn the telephone rings.

"Hello, Señor Johnson? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country

house."

"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" "

Hmm, I am just calling to advise you, sir, that your parrot died"

"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"

"Si, that's the one."

"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die

from?"

"From eating the rotten meat." "Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten

meat?"

"Nobody Señor. He ate the meat of the dead caballo."

"Dead horse? What dead horse?"

"The thouroughbred, Mr. Lucky. Mr. Lucky! My horse that won the Preakness a

few years back?

"Si."

"How did he die?"

"He died from all that work pulling the water cart."

"Are you insane? What water cart?"

"The one we used to put out the fire."

"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"

"The one at your hacienda! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."

"What the.....!!! But there's electricity at the house!!!! What was the

candle for?"

"For the funeral."

"FUNERAL?--WHAT FUNERAL?!"

"Your mother's...She showed up one night out of the blue and I thought she

was a thief,

so I hit her with your new Tiger Woods Nike Driver."

SILENCE....................

"Ernesto if you broke that driver you're fired!"

 

 

Now, I hope you have a better understanding of GOLF!!!

 

 

Back with the Post....

(she'll say that when she graduates and works in an ad agency!!!) :lol: she'll say pitik pitik or making pindot the key board (sabay breakof the neck so the head falls on one side then when the hair starts to cover her face, she flips her head the other way!!!) *strikers ... pa add pa... yung buti ka pa...d ko rin alam yon!!! deprived childhood ata ako... o laking seminaryo... dapat nasa ex-sem!

 

i just realized that next week will be pretty tight for me. i have a japanese friend coming over and he said we have to play golf and talk over some business dev...then my amos last night in our meeting told me that a korean businessman is arriving next week to look at some properties or perhaps do some M&As and play golf! but before all these could happen, my amos also said we have to practice before all the guests arrive!!! what a tiring week, it will be! ;) so much work!!!

 

what a coincidence! as i was running tonight (i had to since my last run was friday pa, didnt run last tuesday morning as it was drizzling!) and it was raining, i was writing poetry in my mind. the events were dramatic, i, the solitary runner, wet roads, and lights reflecting, air was damp, sweat falling and mixing with bits of rain which was falling all over me randomly.. i wanted to write it but i said NAH!!!

 

teka, bakit nandito to, OT na to ha!? e san ko pa pwede ilagay???

I think a whole lotta poetry was written at the height of vino induced drunken stupor! So by all means Senyorrrrrrrrrrrr sumulat ka na!!!! Ayan hindi OT. I think when we attempt to describe wine it is almost like poetry as it engages all the senses with so many lyrical words. :)

Per Se is an interesting name for a resto, as much as French Laundry is...

pare are you familiar with the Norton grape? It's velvety feel is reputedly a cross between a merlot and a pinot noir, besides being earthy and spicy. It comes from the Midwest and Virginia, from where it was originally discovered....

 

a friend of my collects corks saying that it has a tenderizing property. just pop in  couple in a casserole where you are cooking meats and ... the meat get tenderized, daw!

 

i dont know, he just gets my corks but i never got to try his cooking!  :lol: right, pinoy?

 

Must be because it comes from wood - oak to be exact. I remember my mother putting matchsticks or toothpicks in tenderizing beef. Must be the same principle. It could also come in handy when you warm something in a microwave. A friend of mine reported na sumabog yung karekare na ininit nya sa microwave - or at least some sauce spurted up and hit him above the eye. He suggests putting some toothpick in whatever you heat or warm in a microwave to absorb the heat or something. A cork might also do the trick...

Methinks I gotta drink a glass or two before I try out these tricks with a cork :P

 

The reason why I collect corks is that aside from my quirky fascination with its different designs, I have this wild notion in the farthest reaches of my wine-addled brain that someday I can make use of them in some form of design for an improbable wine bar or wine-themed resto that I might put up :goatee:

 

May use ang cork.  Italian housewives threw two or three corks when they boiled beef or any other meat dish.  It makes the beef tender in a shorter period of time.  So it saves on propane. 

 

I always get a cork or two and use it.  Kaso lang you can't use it repeatedly. 

 

One time lang.  BTW my wine post is i always use cork from a red wine whichI drank.

 

parang you are so familiar with Italian housewives, pare :rolleyes: :evil: :lol:

 

Are you sure the corks are used for cooking Pinoy ?.... I know of other uses for cork and it aint for cooking. He ! he!
