Hi Dave,


 DD> I usually have a way I want to dish to taste. So I modify on the fly
 DD> to try to achieve that flavour. I will sometimes eat a restaurant
 DD> verion
 DD> of a dish before trying to make it at home. Just (I tell myself) as a
 DD> benchmark.

We've done that. Case in point, years ago when we were in Germany we had
something called Goulash Soup (I'll look up the recipe and post it.) a
couple of times. Started analysing it the second time, a few weeks later
I was in the Stars and Stripes bookstore. Saw a German cookbook so I
started browsing it, found a recipe for Goulash Soup. We were pretty
much spot on with the ingredients, missed a couple of minor ones. Bought
the book and have made the soup a number of times since.


 DD> I freaked out my hosemate yesterday at supper. I had stopped at
 DD> Humphrey's deli to pick up a half-pound of chicken livers and some
 DD> pre-cut muskmelon for my lunch whe I saw the meat department has
 DD> chuck-eye steaks on special offer @ U$6.99 lb. I couldn't pass that
 DD> by. 3 of the 1# steaks are sucky bagged in the freezer and I
 DD> fixed/grilled the other (after halving it)
 DD> w/lemon-pepper amd some basil and rigani.

Sounds good. We try to catch deals like that when we can and add them to
our freezer also. Didn't buy a lot of meat this past year but still have
a good amount in the freezer.

 DD> Did "baked" potatoes in the microwave and a nice side salad. When I
 DD> set it in front of Dennis ha said "I'm not hungey". But I noticed
 DD> there was nothing but bare plates at clean-up time.   Bv)=

Nothing left for the dogs?
