I can't remember exactly where the conversation began, or why we suddenly started talking about New Orleans, but for about 5 minutes last Friday Night I waxed poetic about the Crescent City. My interest has been explored before , but apparently my chatter seemed especially interesting that night. I suppose I could have been because my friend Hal had never been, and I took umbrage. ...
I just watched Emeril make shrimp etouffee in about 10 minutes. I’m sure some of that time was saved thanks to the precut vegetables, pre-made stock, and carefully placed commercial breaks. But it was still a little disconcerting to see him whip up a slow moving dish with such manic energy. He made it look quick and easy, which can't be said about this one. Not only does this version...
My only real dumpling experience has been at the Rickshaw Dumpling Bar , a tasty, if tad expensive little shop in Flatiron.

No portraits need be taken down, no glassware gathered. Laptops need not be stowed away so as to avoid the deluge of spilt drinks. A party can be thrown where people act...
Step 1: Find a Spanish Man.
Step 2: Find a Spanish Ham.
Preferably, a wildly handsome Spanish friend with a hunk of Spanish ham that his mother sent him. Jorge had looks. And he had the ham. What follows is an evening of many, many stages that included overcoming fears of anchovies, quail eggs, and two romantic party members who ate their share, doted on each other, and c...
