It is meant to be chaise longue, or long chair.

One of my "favorites" was "DSW Shoe Warehouse" which expands to "Designer Shoe
Warehouse Shoe Warehouse". They finally changed their name to just "DSW".

El Camino Real is a main road around here. It mean's The King's Road.
A lot of people say "the El Camino" meaning the the Camino.

Chaise de salon? Oh, and I see that you are unhappy with Maureen Dowd.
The printed version of her last article was titled "Get Off the Chaise
Lounge", but someone must have complained (you?), because the NYT (but
not yet IHT) electronic version now shows "chaise longue".

ObDrink: Chaise Lounge (sic) recipe, from
<http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink8833.html>.

Chaise Lounge recipe

1 1/2 oz Bacardi® Limon rum
1 1/2 oz Malibu® coconut rum
1 1/2 oz creme de bananes
2 splashes cranberry juice
2 splashes orange juice
2 dashes pineapple juice

Pour the Bacardi Limon, Malibu rum, creme de bananes and juices into a
cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a
highball glass half-filled with ice cubes, and serve.

Serve in:
Highball Glass

ObFood: at the the food hall of one of the local department stores they
are having "Tyrolean weeks" and are selling Brimsen and Liptauer, among
other things.

Certainly not. The misspelling is mostly American. If you make a
search for "almondine", you will find just seven occurrences of it on
..uk sites, but many thousands on .com, etc. The "word" is also not even
in any acceptable dictionary, which usually include widely used words
even if they are misspellings. It is not in the OED (1991 edition) and
not in Merriam-Webster.

Sure. My father often spoke fondly of his mother's Italian "Shoe Leather
Steak"
I'm thinking he meant what we called Pizziole?

Bubba, where do I get a measuring cup or spoon for dashes and splashes?
The recipe sounds delicious! The printed title for the Maureen Dowd
article was spelled correctly. I doubt very much that she would have
permitted such a faux pas under (or over) her by-line.

Brimsen is no longer available in this neighborhood. When I first moved
here thirty years ago, Brimsen was sold all over the place and almost
every little grocery had a crockpot full of Liptauer, always made by the
owner of the store or someone else in the family. The spread could be
as mild as sweet butter or as fiery as something out of the Far East or
Mexico, but it was Liptauer and if it wasn't just what you expected, you
added this or that until it was just right and pleased your palate.
Butter and Cream Cheese took most of the fire out of the hottest Liptauer.

So thats what it is!!

I was on contract in Naples in the early 80's, they used to serve
the shoe sole steaks in the canteen.
Problem was we has plastic knives and forks and they always broke
when we ate this stuff.

See <http://www.drinksmixer.com/guide/1-4-1.php>. Ha!

I have the printed IHT copy with that article right here - the title is
misspelt. If you search the IHT Web site <http://www.iht.com/> for
"chaise", you will easily find it, just as misspelt. Her by-line is
there, too.

> Brimsen is no longer available in this neighborhood.

It is very rarely available here, too. It is basically salted
sheep-milk Quark/Topfen, so you can approximate it by salting the
cow-milk equivalents.

Several versions of Liptauer are offered at the food hall now.
