Except I want brisket and I can't find good brisket north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

:D

facts right there. If you’re ever in the DFW area I’ll ensure you get some excellent brisket

:D Don't tempt me! I can usually find inexpensive flights down that way. :D

when things open back up and they start having bbq festivals again, it’s an amazing thing.

You will let me know about those, right? :D

I suspect the state AG will sue the organizers if they don't organize anything this year. (not kidding)

cheese fondue (vacheron fribourgouis & gruyere) - when I bought the vacheron, I told the cheese shop staffer that it’s so great and how restaurants don’t use it, she responded “of course not! It’s expensive! If they used vacheron, they couldn’t make a profit!” - oh so true...
Fondue toppers - ciabatta, Granny Smith apples
organic beef kielbasa
cornichons

way too full so no dessert... sigh...
I took a post-fondue nap so might have a blood orange now.

Good point! The show must go on...

aww big kudos :-)

Gaobest- the dairy farmers and crab fishermen of America would like to thank you, for your considerable consumption of cheese fondue and crab legs. You are an eating stimulus package for those two groups! :p

I think it might be the French dairy farmers . Regardless, the cheese shop appreciates his extravagance.

:D I miss all of the various festivals.

It’s my daughter’s 6th bday and normally we let the kids choose a restaurant for their bday dinner. She didn’t want to go out this year and wanted me to make pasta instead. Just finished prepping everything (meatballs, pork and sausage) and now it’s simmering until dinner.

Edit to be clear: I make my own sauce, it’s not Rao’s :D
