Floating Island vs Smores

Julia Child said her favorite dessert was floating islands (clouds of softly
poached meringue floating on a warm vanilla custard sauce). But s'mores are
much more popular. I think Julia Child missed the boat on this one.

That's just plain ridiculous. Just like most of the things you say.

People aren't allowed to have preferences that differ from yours?

How I loved Julia Child. She said her favorite food was a BLT with a home
grown tomato, Hellman's mayonnaise and white bread. I happened to be
watching the night she was a guest on Emerald Lagasse's show. He was being
quite tedious about whatever he was cooking and she said, "All that's quite
unnecessary". When Martha Stewart remarked that she only used fresh eggs,
Julia replied, "Then you should have brought your own". She was never
boring. Polly

Where did Martha come from? And since when was Emeril ever tedious?
And when did he change his name? I'm confused as to who was on who's
show.

It sounds like Julia was on Martha's show or visa versa. And
"Emerald" didn't even exist.

Frankly, I don't think one has anything to do with the other.

When as an adult I tried s'mores again I gagged over the sweetness. What
I loved as a child was not the same as what I love as an adult.
Gimme those floating islands, please!

Never had 'em-- but it sounds enticing. I would have thought the
meringue would just melt if you tried to poach it.

I'm in the camp that says the only good meringue found is on a pie.

There's nothing like a home-grown tomato. Sadly my tomato plants were eaten
by squirrels last year.


Julia once dropped a fish on the floor to make a point to germaphobes.

Martha Stewart once manhandled Mario Batali.

Emeril tried to stuff a bologna in an oven once. Emeril's done lots of funny
things.

No, I'd rather you kept my response in tact when responding to my
posts. Rather than snipping my response and then saying the same
thing I did.

It certainly strikes one as unusual Usenet behavior.

I did not quote or respond to you. I quoted and replied to Jim alone
(I'd missed his original post). My reply TO JIM was similar to yours but
not the same.

It often happens in a thread that posters receive a string of similar
replies. You should be happy and flattered to find yourself in agreement
with me, what a rare and precious event.
