This you should all read: http://search.csmonitor.com/durable/2000/04/20/p1s2.htm
It's a nice editorial piece, though no lecturing or editorializing. It just makes observations, and astute ones too in my opinion, about a lot of things, many in relation to Columbine High.
Then I found another site, and as I browsed the wares it offers (do at least check out the underwear and swimwear sections, if you don't have time to go through it all!  ), I found this shirt depicting a sports team I would definitely cheer for! http://search.csmonitor.com/durable/2000/04/20/p1s2.htm
Take care all of you!

You got me all excited.

Hiya Lenny,
Loved the swimwear and underwear sections. ;-D Oh, and that article was pretty good too.
Well, I still haven't seen the really hot waiter again, the one we're calling Eric. Don't know what happened that he hasn't been back unless he worked Saturday (my day off) or came in late Sunday (after I left).
The cooking has been quite fun. I've gotten to do a little bit of everything so it's been good experience. One slip of the knife, though and... "OUCH!" That hurt. :'-( I thought I was going to need a stitch or two, but the doc said he would superglue me back together instead. Yeah, superglue. At least that's what he called it. It came in a small tube and looked just like the stuff. He squeezed the skin together, rubbed on a bit, and blew on it to dry. The he took some small strips of adhesive tape and put over it, wrapped my finger in gauze and told me not to get it wet for three days. After that, everything comes off and I'm supposed to be good as new.  What surprises me most is that it didn't even hurt. Well, ok, just a little at first, but not too much for a 3/4" slice about 1/4" deep into the tip of my finger. It bled a lot, but that's all. That's why I had to leave work early sunday and don't know if Eric came in or not.
We have to park a couple of miles from where we are working and take a shuttlebus back and forth. The bus rides back to the parking lot have been interesting. Since I'm wearing my chef uniform, everyone knows that I'm a chef. I get tons of compliments about the food we're serving and lots of questions about what's in it and how we fix it. It's fun to answer them and makes the bus ride go quicker.
OK, that wasn't quite as short as I thought it would be.

...What I'm talking about? COOKING reports of course!!! What did you think I meant???  )
THANKS for the report, and *ouchies* for you on your superglued finger {{{hugs for you}}}. It's neat you get good compliments on the bus by the way, I'm sure that helps you in your work...
Speaking of such things, I've been eating lots of Italian Focaccia bread lately, it's ultra yummy in my opinion, but I have no idea how it's actually made. I'm sure you do though!
No, I don't think I'll be trying to make some myself, I was just a bit curious I guess, since the consistency of the bread is very spongy and chewy, yet fluffy and nice.
On wednesday, I've ordered two loaves of nut and fruits bread from a catering firm, that's going to be yummy. I'll eat the first loaf fresh, then I'll toast the other the day after and stick slices of Kvibille Cheddar cheese on top. I never thought dried figs could taste good in bread, but they DO! They get very moist and juicy and sweet and gives the bread a WONDERFUL taste. Amazing, it's easily amongst the yummiest bread I've ever eaten, together with that French bread I had in Paris with cubes of dried ham in it! That was also amazing.
Take care little vowel, and thank you so much for that quickly posted and very nice cooking report.

Focaccia is made in a very similar manner to any other bread and very much like pizza dough. In fact, when I make it at home, I use the same recipe I use for pizza dough but don't spread it as thin. I also give it a nice brush of olive oil on top before topping it with herbs or other toppings.
Most likely the dried figs in your bread have been macerated (nothing like that other word ::-) ) in some liquid to soften them. It is frequently done with dried fruits before using them so they aren't tough or dry.
The bread you ordered sounds yummy. Does it have a name other than fruit and nut bread? Please don't decide to call it Eric. If there is a traditional name for this bread I might be able to find a recipe.
{HUGS back at you}

Thanks, Lenny. I've caught up with it now and it was worth it.

How is the mysterious drooly Eric anyway??
Well, Eric might kinda be a good name for something yummy; hot, with nuts and all drippy  I love focaccia dripping in olive oil.
Oh wait.....I'll have to go to time-out for that thought, right? I'm gonna have to rethink my entire situation :-/

hi smith. Unfortunately I haven't seen "Eric" since that first day. Don't know if he'll be back or not. He might have worked Saturday (I was off) or Sunday (I went home early because I cut my finger). I guess I might find out this weekend. But he does sound yummy if he comes hot with nuts. Ooohhh, and you think your thought sounded bad. ;-D
