I was in St. Martin about 7 years ago - as I recall, Grand Case on the French side had the best selection of finer restaurants. One of my favorite memories, though, was buying a roasted lobster from a roadside vendor. Definitely the best meal I had while there! You shouldn't have too much...

I agree with the previous poster, hop the Heathrow Express into London! What an opportunity, and a great way to pass 10 hours! I've eaten in the international terminal a couple of times, but usually try to avoid it! :rolleyes:

Hey there, I'm in Wichita, where are you?

Tuesday night, dancing with my sweetie to "Hear Comes the Sun", it was a memorial service for a friend of ours who was a drummer in a band that did a lot of rock/soul/blues covers. It was amazing to see all those people there, celebrating Nigel's spirit. In between tears, I was smiling so hard...

Charlie D, I didn't see the recipe for the pastry pirozhki - would love to compare it those I remember as a child. Would you please share?

Yes, I do know what crumpets are and have even experimented with making them at home. I've even had a few in jolly old England. I was actually just considering the origin of the term "English muffin" and I thought if a person used her imagination a little, you could see where a crumpet...

Wow! Wow! The food looks delicious! Welcome! I will be anticipating seeing more of you here!

My boyfriend taught me this: Cut a peeled sweet potato into good-sized chunks. Parboil until just barely fork tender. Drain, and coat in salt and pepper. While they are boiling, preheat a roasting pan with enough vegetable oil to coat the pieces. Bake at about 400 degrees for about an...

I don't know where you're posting from, but Sam's Club usually has a boneless leg of lamb for around $4 a pound, and lovely loin chops for about $8 a pound. It is New Zealand lamb and we have never been disappointed with the quality. Good luck!

Oh but what about the ones they don't make anymore? I loved Festivus - gingerbread and caramel - they only stocked it at Christmas so I'd buy several pints to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore! :wacko:

This is most likely a violation of the federal Consumer Protection Act. It protects consumers from misrepresentations about a product and includes situations where a seller, while not exactly lying, clearly intends a customer to misunderstand, or think she is getting a different product. It's...

Hey Hey, let's not snipe at lawyers. You never know who's lurking.
