Thank you!
Youâre slipping my friend.
Half torn tortilla shells?
Your food is generally so well manicured.
This? This is just an abomination. Not worthy of the honkman moniker.
What have you done with the real honkman?
I hang my head in shame and hope seppuku isnât necessary

The menu at the gay bar was smaller than usual, with not too many interesting choices, unfortunately.
We mightâve shared the orecchiette pasta if I hadnât made a very similar pasta over the weekend, and I wonât pay premium for a baguette with brie and out of season tomatoes on it. Le sigh.
We got the arancini that were surprisingly bland & extremely skimpy on the marinara
and the smoked salmon toast, which was quite good & which we promptly got another order of.
I had time for exactly two dry AF martinis with Sipsmith before we had to head to the hospital. Had I known Iâd be waiting another 45 min to get into the MRI I wouldâve ordered another one 
. I was also dismayed that I had to undo the up-do Iâd splurged on for the taping bc of the myriad of bobby pins. Bummer, man.
As for tonight, thereâs a theoretical plan to gather my bishes (a plan made enthusiastically and drunkenly at my red carpet event), but I donât really want to go back to the bar a day later.
Might have to host a BYOB event on our patio - itâs been forevah since we lit the solo stove

I wish I had kept the box for a picture, but the cod was product of either Portugal or Spain. If youâd like the recipe, Iâll send it to you.
Everything ok with @digga? Seems like forever that sheâs posted here.

Social media can bring out the worst in people. But this is a relatively small group of regular posters so it feels like we are more respectful of each other.

Being able to hide behind a random handle or username does not seem to promote civility.
Whoda thunk?

In addition to respectful, Iâd like to add helpful. Iâve gotten some great ideas and advice from many forum posters.
And again, thank you!!

Yep, itâs basically the same dish, without the grape leaves and more avgolemono: meat -rice.
Most Greek families in Canada and the States would use beef rather than lamb in yiouvarlakia or warm meat and rice -stuffed grape leaves.
Yiouvarlakia is sometimes a daily special at full service Greek restaurants in Toronto, whereas the meat and rice stuffed grape leaves are often found on the regular dinner menu at the same restaurants.
Iâve been slowly comparing the meat and rice stuffed grape leaves at Torontoâs and London,Ontarioâs various full service Greek restaurants and Greek clubs.
The avgolemono sauce does not freeze well, so I wonât post a link to the photos of the 2 places in London that served previously frozen stuffed grape leaves, which taste pretty good but are not photogenic!
