Tom Fitz always said there is a "locals" menu with different prices and recommended asking for it if you ate there. I don't know if his site still says that, but I recall reading it. ...

| re: Jalapeño plant question - Gris Gris on 5/23/13 at 3:54 pm
Thanks. Good tip. I don't use frozen bell pepper and the texture is very similar if not the same, but the jalapeno would be more for flavor only. I'd remove it after a simmer, for example. ...

I wouldn't call the recipe "alfredo", but it's not a bad recipe. I don't love chicken, but it's butter, wine, garlic, pasta, chicken, parm and a little cream. Simple homecooked meal for someone with little time and a family to feed.

Right now, I have the rosemary bushes that are growing very well. They're about 4 years old. I had some more mature than that in two different places and they suddenly died a few summers ago, suddenly. Beautiful one day and dead as a door knob, the next.
I also have English thyme, lemon thyme, ...

Next time you're in BR, go to Whoke Foods. There is always an abundance of oregano there. If you see spicy oregano, buy it. It might improve that red gravy if yours. In any event, there's so much stuff in yours one more ingredient won't matter. :lol:...

| re: Uses for Cream Cheese - Gris Gris on 5/22/13 at 12:23 pm
You can freeze it. It will get a bit crumbly, but if used in a hot dish, it will go back to a creamy consistency or I think if you microwave or heat it just a bit, you can stir it to a creamy consistency. ...
