I was in new Orleans in November for the moderators' annual training session. Didn't go to any of Emeril's restaurants, there are so many much better choices. Café du Monde is horrible, they live on their undeserved reputation. Café Beignet is infinitely superior.

I was jesting and am sure that the place wasn’t even in The French Concession (joke!!!!)

I am impressed that you made challah...you should post a photo next time!

gaobest

I didn’t make challah - my family made it for us. It’s super good and was temporarily side-lined because of the roll-ppang. We need more challah and in theory we shouldn’t ever have to buy the amazing one from our local deli (Wise Sons), the one about a mile from home.

Well why not expand your bread making to try it. Maybe they can teach you or you can just follow a recipe.

The challah is already perfect and I’ll work on the pizza dough and sourdough bread recipes instead, whenever I get around to it. I want to make more corn cherry scones and chocolate chip scones tomorrow. I love the corn cherry scones oh so much!!!!

Do you have their book?

gaobest

no because I have too many cookbooks that I’m not reading and I now mostly use GOOG search for recipes on my phone. My iBooks has an arsenal of pdf recipes. I was so excited to move to that office ($1100/month for a big 300 sq ft room with a shared bathroom with a single lawyer office) in Dec 2012 and went to Wise Sons a lot for years as they were only THREE doors away. Once they even insisted and comped me a meal so I had to put a lot of cash in their tip jar. I’m probably one of the only people who has coincidentally been seated next to both major principals at different restaurants (a korean start-up in East Oakland and a Super Duper!). I still love their products but haven’t bought their bagels at my local grocers for weeks. They’re still a mile from my house.
GOOG Maps says 0.8mile

I hope when you make things like scones,.you make a big batch.and freeze it in batches.

BBQed some chicken basted with peri-peri sauce, which is probs my favourite way to BBQ chicken. Had them with some potato wedges and a salad.

gaobest

usually 2-3 batches. They’re so great!

Chicken looks amazing. Only peri peri sauce---did you put anything else on it? Potatoes look yummy too

bensyd

Salted the skin and left it in the fridge for a few hours then just before putting on the BBQ I put on some pepper and smoked paprika and olive oil. I didn't put the peri-peri on until late, lest the garlic burn!

I'm uncertain if I want to heat up leftovers (marinated chicken, baked with cheese and bacon) or if I want to make meatloaf. I may opt for the meatloaf simply because I have a bottle of red wine open and I really should have another glass of it.
