OMG That would have been my favorite place as a kid.  

It was one of my favourite places, for sure. I think I was there at least three times. Just so sad they closed. Oh well, that's capitalism for ya.

It would've been mine, too. If I could've dated a Viking boy....*sigh*

Sadly, I was only six years old when it apparently closed.

 G'day, young Albert!  

 

Sorry, can't stay. Fasting overnight (blood tests tomorrow) and have the munchies. Heading to bed now before I give in to my cravings.

 

Night all! 

 

Night, Marty.

I think you Guys missed this part on Sauce Roberts

 

Origins of Sauce Robert

The sauce has origins at least as far back as the early 14th century, making it one of the oldest classic sauces. Sauce Robert is mentioned in a manuscript by Guillame Tirel (known as Taillevant). He was a master chef at the French court who wrote "Le Viandier," one of the earliest recipe collections of the Middle Ages. The sauce later was ascribed to a 17th-century cook named Robert Vinot, which may be where it picked up its name. This version is closest to that which appears in Auguste Escoffier's "The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery" and in recent editions of "Larousse Gastronomique."

Here's a book I thought you might enjoy, because of the setting.

Huh, that looks pretty interesting. I should give that a go. I've been to that part of the country a couple of times. It's gorgeous.

Morning Marty!

 

Is it my imagination, or has she grown in the short time you have had her?

I think so too. Definitely looking more grownup

I'm not sure what to put in the seventh folder. Drinks, sauces, bread, or something else?

Tea, obviously

That would be "Drinks". Or maybe I should just buy extra folders.

Nah...  "Beverages" would be a better word (imho).

 

And folders are a lot like friends. One can never have too many folders...

Clarification

I have to do a training at work all morning so what happens?  I have laryngitis.    So I feel sorry for everyone who has to listen to my raspy, croaky voice today.  It's also another sucky weather day.  We're supposed to get 5-8" of snow.  But at least it's only snow and not a snow/ice/rain mix.  According to the weatherman, this is the first snow in February that's only snow!  

 

On a positive note... the bathroom reno starts today!  

[Thorn Wilde]

Morning, everyone!   Hope you're all well today.

Hey, Marty!  How are you faring today? How did the blood tests go?

Morning, Val!  Oof, laryngitis is not fun! Hope you feel better soon.

What Albert didn't mention was the sauce was first created to serve with the brontosaurus steaks to celebrate his bar mitzvah.

Thanks   I've had a sore throat all week and haven't been feeling well.  Not enough for me to stay home, but enough to make me feel a bit worn down.  So of course, it picks today to hit.    It's not full-fledged ebola or *gasp* manflu, but more a sinus thing.  If I don't feel well this afternoon I'm going to leave early.  I probably will anyway so I miss the worst of the snow.

Hey yourself, Thorn!

 

No problems giving the samples. It's just a routine check-up. I'm sure the doc will be happy with the results when they come back.

 

How's yourself today?

Hey dugh, dood.

 

The weak February sun has finally lifted the morning mist here. I can see the mountains again.
