]]> Host Rule #1 -- reinforced I'll never forget those ghastly, ghostly jellyfish-looking gnocchi I was served at a dinner long ago, nor the twitching faces of all the guests pretending that this wasn't a horrible, horrible meal.
I'm getting ready for the deep-fried turkey on saturday. The dishes are reasonably straightforward. I am trying to figure out some clever way to to serve the balance of the crayfish I'd frozen up as leftover from the last party.
I took the day off, tested some recipes, and reminded myself the Host Rule #1 should never be violated.

]]> In Search of Pizza One of the cafes we enjoyed in Sydney was Bertoni Casalinga. They manage to do something that I have always found absolutely, inexcusably appalling: reheat pizza.
I detest how disgusting NYC 'pizzarias' oven-reheat their cold slices of shit. But the people at Bertoni do it different: they start out with fundamentally good pizza (thick , fluffy crust, beautiful rich sauce, and high quality meat toppings) which they heat up in a large electric sandwich grill. It really comes out nicely.
I came home (prematurely) early last week after being the first off my table at a poker game at the "Crows Nest Club." On the way home I saw a Domino's pizza. They're the closest it comes to the type of pizza I like, so it got me hungry and I ordered one. It was ok, not great, but alright.
All this got me thinking, "I know exactly how I want my pizza to taste, so why don't I just figure out the exact formula for that?"
So that's what I started research work on this weekend.
Really looking forward to nine hours in economy class with a sixteen-month old.

He's also making all sorts of babbling conversation-sound noises to himself, so I suppose that he'll be talking soon too. Ling read somewhere that at his age he should be speaking fifty words. What a joke. He probably knows fifty words, but since he chooses to skip all the one syllable words and go for the two-syllables like 'bubble' and 'tractor' it seems to be slowing his pace a bit.
I'm freed up to tag along with Ling and Luke next week for ten days in Sydney. The only problem is that three nights in a row out having big dinners and drinking plus a bad saturday sunburn knocked my immune system around and I've managed to catch a flu of some sort.
Normally this will kill us -- I get sick, then Ling does, and then Luke does. Three or four weeks later everyone is recovered.

Ling is sleeping in the other room for the time being, I've been avoiding Luke, and when we drove around today I was wearing a surgical mask. I was amazed how few looks i actually got for it.
Anyway, the dinners were worth it. Particularly saturday night's italian dinner at Valentinos. Most noted item we had there was white truffle. All the girls had generous shavings of white truffles in their olio porcini pasta. I've never had truffle like that before. The smell is truly amazing. The taste, a comparative letdown.

way to treat stained teeth. In this procedure, dentists use bleach that contains peroxide which is used in titration depending on the condition of your teeth stains. This is done in the dentist’s office and generally takes two-three sessions. There is also an in-house bleaching treatment where you put bleach in a plastic tray, fit it to your mouth and keep it overnight. Lastly for the first timers, tooth whitening by laser is effective. It’s fast and painless. However laser procedure costs more.
Teeth whitening NYC treatment can brighten your teeth by three more shades. However, consult your dentist for the treatment that best suits your condition. You want a hassle-free, long-lasting treatment and only an experienced dentist can give you that. If you choose to get the home bleaching kit, remember to buy it from a certified pharmacist. Using too much of peroxide may effect the sensitivity of your teeth. So do not choose a faster whitening procedure using bleach, unless you are absolutely sure of its effects. You will also need to take proper care of your teeth after the procedure by brushing twice daily and ensure that it lasts long. The lifestyle that you adopt after the procedure will determine how long the procedure will stay effective. Remember to visit your dentist regularly.
