Do you have a recipe for that handy? That looks delicious. CARBS CARBS CARBS.

The secret is that you have to make a good starter. All sourdough recipes are the same roughly. The starter is a bit challenging at first. Fermenting, folding and hydration are the big parts for me. Specifically folding. I think that's where I'm needing to improve. 

 

Oh oh and I just take the dough and throw it in a loaf pan. I make rustic loaves too but obviously sandwich loaves are more useful

Wife and I make this recipe below couple times a year. Loaf of bread with the taste of English muffins! Toast it up later with butter- omg it's amazing

I'm not crazy about this recipe for a few reasons. It's not fermented, it uses yeast, and it's not a griddled muffin. All my bread must be fermented. And I use an active sourdough culture rather than yeast.

We have several wine bars that are similar.  Maybe a hundred wines "on tap".  You pre-load a card and use it to pay.  Anything from an ounce to a full glass.  A great mix of value wines up to extremely expensive wines that most of us would never pay for a bottle, but might try a taste, just because.

Makes for a fun date night.

So the Soup Nazi or at least his company has filed for bankruptcy. I have fond memories of going there, before he went franchise, for lunch, waiting in line, he really was dour like in Seinfeld, getting you to move along, but man, that lobster bisque was awesome. As well as the dessert treat. It basically a pint of very thick soup, a good piece of bread and very good chocolate or some kind of sweet something.

Meh. I went to a Soup Nazi restaurant in Staten Island once, wasn't bad but nothing I would have waited in a long line for. The service was a bit slow now that I'm thinking about it.

I got a few of his soups in the grocery store once. They were fine. Nothing special, but soup from a box at the grocery store rarely is.

Yeah, I went when he had only the one location and was working there, well before decided to franchise his brand, so it was a small operation then. Usually had to wait at least 20 minutes. Guessing going big watered down the soup. The original had lots of lobster. I think it was  $10 over 10 years ago. 

The David Letterman sandwich guy, Rupert was it, was nearby, his sandwiches were good and Rupert was very friendly.

What else besides plain old charcoal do you use for barbecuing? Can you use a chimney with wood chips?
