FRC: Do I have the best nephew ever, or what!? Back from Florida and heading

[cynupstateny]

to NY City next week. My nephew, the chef, has arranged for my sister and I to trail with executive pastry chef Nancy Olson while we're there! I'm so excited!!

BTW- I "stopped in" while we were down south and borrowed a laptop for the rest of our stay so I was able to vote for "our garden" every day, too.

 

[joe]

Cyn, I'm touched. Your nephew has the best aunt!

Is he voting daily too?

 

[orchid]

LOL! That whip feeling confortable in the hand?

 

[joe]

Yes, and it's gone to my head!

I sure hope Cyn knows I was kidding.

 

[marilynfl]

oh, so many to choose from. Where do I start???

 

[joe]

So many what to choose from, Marilyn? You'd better not mean gardens!

 

[pat-nocal]

maybe she means whips! smileys/wink.gif

so many whips to choose from. smileys/smile.gif

 

[traca]

Cyn, he's with the Danny Meyer group, is that right? Which resto?

 

[erininny]

If I recall correctly, it's Maialino, right, Cyn? We should have an NYC meet while you're here. smileys/smile.gif

 

[cynupstateny]

Yes, it is Maialino. He's moving to Oregon so we're having one last restaurant fling with him.

It's always better when he's with us. We get a lot of "compliments of the kitchen" dishes to try smileys/smile.gif

 

[marilynfl]

yep, as in riffs on whips & Joe. (Pat, you know me tooooo well.)

 

[marilynfl]

Wow...I've baked from the Gramercy Tavern book. Impressive.

 

[joe]

Riffs on whips and Joe? It's cruel to tease me like that and just dart away.

 

[traca]

Awesome! Where's he going in Oregon? That's practically in my 'neighborhood'. smileys/smile.gif

 

[cynupstateny]

PM sent, Traca!

 

[cynupstateny]

I think every minute of this trip is accounted for, Erin, but it would be fun

to plan something for next time!

 

[erininny]

Got it; enjoy!

 

[monj]

We loved Maialino, though we never met, I feel like I will miss him in NY, went to Grammercy

when he was there and to Maialino when he was there too!
Good luck to him! And safe travels to you!

Is the coconut rice pudding recipe in that book? I would kill for that recipe. smileys/smile.gif
