Foodie Magazine/ a local Top Chef / Cookies, et. al.

Since I'm back in the city of brotherly love I haven't seen the new Fort Worth Food magazine published by the website of the same name (I think). Apparently, they can be found at Central Market. I hope one of my children picks one up for me. http://www.fwfoodie.com/home/fort_worth_foodie

Congratulations to Dallas' Casey Thompson for being a finalist in cable TV's Bravo chef competition. Serious stuff here. I didn't watch this years competition but I have in recent years. The show is intense and not known to be for the weak hearted chef. Ms. Thompson is head chef at Shinsei, one of big D's hot restaurants.

Somebody go to Zambrano Wine Cellar on 9th and Houston and tell me about it. I would, but I am out of town and can't drink wine any longer anyway. They have food as well as drinks.

Have a great cookie recipe? Friday is the last day to enter the local contest. http://www.star-telegram.com/food/story/262479.html

Soft Scrambled Egg Recipe

My daughter has proven to me that the secret to good, tasty, scrambled eggs is low heat and slow cooking. Here is a great recipe for scrambled eggs with ricotta cheese from the NY Times.

Hypotheticals

I will be posting, from time to time, some "hypotheticals", a concept of discussion made popular in the DFW area by the radio station 1310 The Ticket. My sons and I have enjoyed the one to the right. I have always considered the rhino to have the combination of speed, strength and defensive qualities that would leave him the winner. If you have a hypothetical for general consumption please let me know.
Also, I have decided that when a poll gets to 50 votes, a winner will be declared and that poll will be removed. The first 50 vote-getter will probably be the Presidential Election Poll. This definitive poll will be an early predicter of the winner in 2008. I will extrapolate the Democrat and Republican primary nominees and vice presidential candidates. Stay tuned.
