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?

What nobody has mentiond yet (I think), is that it is often what you mix with the vodka that adds calories. I drink mine with soda water and a lime, it's lovely and the only calories come from the vodka. Add cranberry or other juices, and you're easily adding on 100+ calories a drink!

Oh well, so much for my imagination! :smile:

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...

crumpets? I always thought an English muffin was rather like a baked crumpet. Anyone else think so? My English boyfriend says that in England, there's no such thing as an "English muffin". Of course we also had a Danish exchange student tell us that in Denmark, they don't have a pastry...

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.

Allen - that looks pretty darn close! I'll give it a try and see. Thanks for your help!

I'm desperately trying to locate a recipe I used to make. I remember that it had Tabasco in it, and the shrimp were sauteed in the sauce with the shells on. I've tried the Tabasco website, and various search engines, but can't recreate it. Does anyone have a recipe similar to this?

I don't know, I could have the spelling wrong . . . but I am thankful to see that everyone knew what I meant! Thanks! :)

Thanks everyone so much! I can't even decide which recipe to try first, but I'm sure I will try them all. I promise to report back! Have a great weekend!

Of course! It is a lovely hardy bread, perhaps of Scottish origin. Years ago, my brother made a fabulous version but he lost the recipe. It is made with oats, cornmeal, wheat bran, rice, etc. Very nice! From what I remember, it is a meal in itself.

I'm sure Ishbel has a better answer than I do, but I have never found an "American" type that even comes close to the English sausages. I usually resort to getting mine from an import shop. They are more expensive, but definitely worth it.

I'd love a recipe for a good Struan, but I don't use a bread machine, and that seems to be the only recipe I can find online. Does anyone have a good one to share?

Ah yes, Toad in the Hole! I love to make this one - with a little gravy, it's nearly the best comfort food one can get! The only trouble is finding the proper sausages here in the US. I usually go to an import shop to get good English sausages (Cumberland if I can find them). :lol:

Thanks Catseye & Ishbel! I think Ishbel's recipe is the one I was searching for. Wish me luck! Dawn

rotisserie! Sorry for the late reply, but we have duck about once a month and we cook it on the rotisserie. If you have access to one, I definitely recommend it. The skin comes out so much nicer that way, and the flavor is incredible.
