Happy New Year!!!

Hi Angelenos,

Oh, finally, a holiday season not overshadowed by She of Claremont
(formerly She of Pasadena), and more recently head She-wolf >>>gong!<<<
of Palo Alto.  I had two delicious meals this weekend.  The first at
Ciao Trattoria on 7th between Figueroa and Flower -- in Los Angeles,
silly, but Marilyn Safire couldn't find it any easier than she could
find her own asshole with a mirror, a flashlight, and two if not four
hands. Antipasti for two (prosciutto, bresaola, arugula, olives, shaved
reggiano parmigiano, fresh bufalo mozzarella, two different kinds of
freshly baked bread rolls, grilled pickled red peppers, etc.) followed
by seafood risotto for my companion (scallops and shrimp with tons of
saffron and asparagus spears) and saltimbocca di vitello for me.  We
then shared an excellent tiramisu before returning to El Estacion de los
Estados Unidos and retiring across the street from Olvera Street for
aguas frescas (tamarindo for him, limon for me), whilst listening to los
mariachis de la calle warble and wail their stuff. 

But Marilyn is built of sturdier stuff than Italian food.  Then I had
lunch at Woodlands in Artesia.  Sambar, rassam, iddly, masala dosai,
spicy lima bean curry, fresh fruit salad, puliyodarai, it goes on.  Then
we had kulfi.  Delish.

I hope you Bay Areans keep Marilyn from coming back to LA, or at least
from posting her uninformed drivel to Los Angeles newsgroups.  Again.

As far as I can tell, she hasn't discovered ba.food yet.  Or if she has,
nobody noticed.

Acting out in her normally confused state, Annie was actually
braying about Meg. She can't keep things straight so this twisted
fixation seems to assist her in dealing with any issues.

ObBubbly: Gloria Ferrer Royal Cuvee '97, $23.99 at Bevmo.com. A
fine, fine beverage.

Got it.  I never had any problem with Meg, and don't really
understand why anyone else would.

You can get Arrogant Bastard ale there too...  I tried it once.
Interesting stuff; it fills an entire room with a hoppy aroma the
instant you open a bottle.  I liked the slogan they once had: "Hated
by many.  Loved by few.  You're not worthy."

Annie's an extreme among extremes; a lonely outlier that doesn't add
anything other than noise to a discussion.

That slogan fits my lone experience with that aromatically foul,
over-hopped, and vile-tasting tonic. I'll gladly be counted as hated
in the many and unworthy columns. It's similar to hot sauces that
intentionally go after skoville ratings because "hot" is somewhere
on the label. BTW: If you liked that particular beer, you might also
prefer their IPA.

Oh, please.  For years (10+) she has consistently crossposted all of her
ill-informed food/restaurant reviews of Pasadena and Claremont places
from la.eats to ba.food.  Once she had her sorry fat ass -- OK, maybe
I'm gloating about the fact that she has a fat ass and I don't, but I
eat all the butter (one baked potato equals one stick of butter for me)
and oil and fat I can handle at one meal (I can and do eat a whole Sara
Lee cheesecake in one sitting), which is a lot, I guess, but I don't
have high blood pressure or chlorestorol, and I'm 51 years old, 5' 11
1/2" tall and weigh 160 lbs -- well, she had her fat ass dragged up to
Palo Alto and immediately started crossposting Bay Area-ational
food/resto reviews from ba.food -- reviews that were as equally
ill-informed as the crap she posted from SoCal newsgroups  formerly --
to la.eats.  Just do a Google-search on her name + la.eats or + ba.food. 

When you get a chance, would you kindly remind her to keep her Internets
(or is it Intertubes per Sen. Stevens of Alaska?) reviews/babbling posts
about Bay Area restaurants and food places she wants to write about to
those within reach of BART and not bore and especially irritate people
who live 450 miles or more away, OK?  

Thank you so much.

Because she 1) appears to be as stupid as a snail, 2) hasn't really ever
shown even a superficial knowledge of anything about food or food
preparation, ever -- you've got 10 minutes to de-bone, butterfly, and
stuff a leg of lamb, Meg, or 20 to explain how it should be done, or 3)
should demonstrate her knowledge of worldwide food by explaining the
various tastes and textures among the shrimp in New Orleans gumbo, in
Valencian paella, and in Hong Kong dim sum's har-gow.  I could easily do
all three without blinking and I haven't had any technical cooking
training at all.  #1 I could forgive, but the other two in these kinds
of foodie forums are ridiculous.  Unless the idea is to share peanut
butter and jelly sandwich recipes or tips on how long to leave her
strawberry poptarts in the toaster oven or what's the best Wendy's on
her way home from work, why is she here?

So, in other words, she has not said or done anything wrong to YOU
personally, nor apparently to anybody else. Indeed, you admit she has only
posted about food, on food groups no less.  Yet you attack her personally...
And you deny that you are fucked up in the head.  Yeah sure, I'm convinced
[rolls eyes].

I subscribe to both rec.food.cooking and ba.food.  In my experience, the 
posters on rfc post about cooking, not surprisingly.  On ba.food, people 
post about food, often restaurant food, but sometimes food cooked at 
home.  They don't post about how to cook it.  Sometimes, people on 
ba.food post about ingredients, both which ones to use but mostly where 
to get them.

To wrong me?  Gosh, that's a new way of viewing someone's STUPID VIEWS
on things being called into question. 

Thanks for the psychological assessment, though.  I hope to see you on
Monday morning in full bee-keeper uniform at my front gate.

i love good microbrews, but he didn't know about my experiences 
with that beer. it is indeed an impressive size bottle and makes
for great conversation when friends are over.

Actually, I don't care for it at all.  My assessment above said
"interesting stuff."  Which is is.  I do love the sense of humor the
brewer has about it though... the text on the bottle is quite funny.
