  1. The pasta with lamb ragout but their Crispy Roasted pork Shank is to die for, literally!!!!. They also have a great selection of about 10-12 wines under $20. Their biscotti are fantastic.

  2. “Should I apply all over again and pretend I never did before?”

    This sounds like a George Costanza would do! But I agree w/THL and BRG. Contact the partner again and ask about the position. The worst he/she can say is “not interested.” I don’t think there’s any reason to be anything less than straightforward.

  3. Yeah, I’m afraid of looking like a desperate dope by applying again, but the one way I may get away with it is that the ad does not list the name of the firm, etc. I just recognize the contact name and fax number from my records of where I applied and when. Oh, I don’t know what to do.

  4. When I worked in a restaurant we used to take the meat right out of the walk in. It was frozen in those vacuum bags and toss it in a big sink filled with water (coldish). It really does defrost quick.

    Put it in a baggie and cover with water.

    What are you going to get Dave?

  5. “east new york had such a quaint life growing up. a collective awwwww is in order”

    At TIMES it was quaint, Rob. But it was East New York, and we had some tough characters around. Like every boy in my neighborhood, I had to learn how to handle myself, particularly since we lived in a rowhouse and the guys from the nearby Linden Houses projects considered us “rich.” Those guys were constantly trying to rob and/or intimidate us. I had a few fights. Won some, lost some. The thing is there were lots of fights but no one carried guns back then.
