“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”
Dave, you just quoted my all time favorite Yogi-ism.
g10 – What’s your take on the curry responses? Have you tried any of them?
oooooooh i love plain ravioli’s without spaghetti sauce on it too!!! never tried it with olive oil, but i like just parmesan on it.
*rob*
actually yogi berra – didn’t see the last part :-\
Bxgrl, I have a by scratch recipe for them but I think you may have realized for every day stuff I like to do things quick and dirty, this is the easy cheat way…
Make a brownie mix like you normally would bake them halfway (abotu 20 minutes) then put large crumbles of graham crackers all over the top (not powder fine, like one quarter to one half inch-ish bits) and cover with marshmallows (the small ones work better). Continue baking they may take a little longer than normal. Do the toothpick test.
See easy. If you want the from scratch recipe I can email it to you (it is better).
“Nobody goes there anymore”
Nice American Psycho reference!
M4l – agreed with you on that one – Fairway does have good raviolis
ENY – oh gimmmme a break. I challenge you to GO to Olive Garden and order yourself some outrageous gut-busting dinner and come back and tell us it wasn’t at least tasty?
“No. But I haven’t brushed my teeth with tinfoil while combing my hair with a cheese grater, either, but I know it’s probably not a good idea.”
“Nor is scratching out your eyes with walnuts!”
LOL! You two are very funny!
Yeah, that’s right – I’m a snob when it comes to Italian food. I’m black, but my Mom grew up in an Italian/black neighborhood in Newark, and her friends taught her to make Italian dishes, and she passed several on to me. The thing is that it is remarkably simple to make GOOD Italian food – the cuisine mostly is based on several simple ingredients. It doesn’t have to be expensive to be good, but it should be made with some care and with a personal touch. That just won’t happen in a mass-market category restaurant like Olive Garden. Hey, I’m sure the food there is “not amazing – but good enough,” but I don’t HAVE to accept “good enough” when it comes to Italian food here. This is NYC, dammit!! I can choose from “outstanding” (i.e., the better Italian restaurants in all five boroughs) or “very good” (what I make myself). Olive Garden is for chumps.
