Its the one with the place on the side for to-go right?

@stormface, I always get just a little bit jealous when I hear someone's a total pinky.. If I knew then what I know now, etc. But you're a great spot to learn and see what's out there. You're in a great city for it!

being a moderator is a pretty glamorous job ;)

We are a band of brothers, banning others.

Well, having moderated a fairly large forum for a number of years, I won't congratulate you, but I will wish you the best of luck! Not a lot of people understand how difficult it is to be a mod in a decent-sized online community, all they see is the "glamour" and the buttons you can push. Not even close. All the best to you!

Who from Spider Murphy's? We live pretty close to there...if you go you should eat at Sol Food. Just a couple of blocks from SM (it used to be right net door but they moved to a bigger space a couple blocks away)

yearly Memorial Day bbq fare

I made spicy tuna the other day and used the leftovers as deviled egg filling (no yolk).
Really tasty!

Making home-made baked beans again.
This is supposed to serve about 8.
1. Sliced onions (3) and smoked paprika (1 heaped tsp) in oil in a pan - soften 'em up.
2. Add cannelini beans (6 tins, but to be honest I've used less without a problem). On this occassion I used 2 tins of black beans and the rest as suggested. Juices from the tins too... Then 2 tins of chopped tomato. 3-4 bay leaves too.
3. If you've got dried chillis then you can add them now, having soaked 'em in boiled water to loosen them up. Failing that, I used a chipotle hot sauce. Also add salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a simmer and let it cook, having stirred it well, for 1.5 hours. Tricky to let it cook this long without mashing the shit out of the beans when you stir it from time to time. Some of 'em inevitably split on me too.
5. Meanwhile, phase two: 4 slices of bacon, 125g of cheese and about 200g of breadcrumbs in a blender... Whizz them up and then when you're done with the beans this breadcrumb/bacon/cheese mixture is spread on top.
6. Pop the whole lot in an oven until the top is golden brown and crispy and the bacon is cooked and that's it.
It's a modified Jamie Oliver recipe. He may cry a lot on T.V but his recipes are sound, IMO.
