Stealing anything from a restaurant is cheap, classless and
stupid, since if you ask the manager I suspect they'd give it to
you or in the case of the candle holder, sell it to you
reasonably. That's much better karma and doesn't make your table
mates cross you off their invitation list for dining out. (Maybe
dining in, too. If someone steals stuff from a restaurant, how
do you know they won't steal something they like from your home?)

No, I haven't. I was supposed to go there for lunch last Monday
with a group of neighborhood women but it was the last day to
pack up my kitchen before the remodeling started and I still had
too much to do even though I had been packing for almost two
weeks. We'll have to try it soon. There's a Brio in the new
section of Park Meadows, too.

There is nothing wrong with a good chain restaurant (and nothing
worse than a bad one.) You'll notice in Denver that the good
upscale chains stick around a lot longer than the single local
places which draw a big crowd when they first open and then fall
off when the sheep decide "newest is better" and flock to the new
"in" spot. Some of them have been very good and I have no idea
what made them fail. (European Cafe is a good example.)

Have you tried The Perfect Landing at Centennial Airport? Mmmmm.
Haven't been there in quite a while, but for Mexican we liked La
Cueva on Colfax. For Thai, quite a few places on Federal are good.

Just a thought: don't forget to take your baking sheets out of
the oven. I'm not the only one who did that. Heh.

Are you thinking about the lower drawer of the stove? Our old
one didn't have one because it was a JennAir with a downdraft fan
mounted under the oven.

Actually all my baking sheets and cupcake pans lived in the
trash compacter. We installed a new one because the one we
"inherited" when we bought this house was nasty. We never, ever
used the new one so I started using it to store skillets and
eventually cookie sheets and cooking racks instead. It was very
handy.

Thanks for the suggestion. I might salvage the oven racks to use
as cookie cooling racks. If you're making a big batch you can
never have too many. They would be convenient if I ever make
pasta from scratch, also.

I lost mine when I left them in my inoperable wall oven. After
the remodel was complete, it took me a while before I figured
out Hey! where are my cookie sheets?? Uh, in the oven you
didn't clean out?

Same thing happened to someone else here.

When my ex inlaws built a house back in the late 70s, they
included a trash compacter, and next to it a special cabinet
for things like cookie sheets. I forget what you'd call that.
A tray cabinet? Anyway, it was that shape only with vertical
slots instead of shelves. I thought that was really handy.

Cool idea. Not like you can't get rid of them later if you change your
mind.

Sports are not my thing, either. BTW, you did not mention basketball,
which can only be played by genetic mutants who reach almost 7' in height.

Thanks, but as part of our much needed kitchen remodel,
the compactor has been removed along with the rest of the
kitchen, and has been donated to a needy family with lots of
foster kids. We never used it and can put the space to much
better use.

The compactor didn't have a button, it had a knob and I removed
the knob to avoid turning it on accidentally. Someone said that
it makes a good substitute for a safe deposit box. Put your
valuables in the bottom, turn the knob so the ram goes halfway
down, turn it off and remove the knob. That makes it impossible
to open the "drawer" until you raise the ram again.

Do they even sell compactors these days?

I have one and love it! Every kitchen should have one, no matter how
narrow. There is always a space between cabinets somewhere to put it.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I have never been terribly interested in watching sports. I have been to
one professional hockey game and one professional football game. Once a
year I go to see a couple of amateur hockey games because a cousin who
lives about 22 miles away plays in an old guy's league and is in town
for a tournament. We catch a game and go for a few beers.

I have never watched more than an inning or two of a baseball game. It's
about as exciting as watching paint dry. Golf is worse, even slower and
less interesting than soccer. My gawd, they even televise pool and
billiards. The only sporting event like I like to watch is equestrian
jumping.

I get a kick out of all those out of shape pot bellied twits who think
they are athletes because they wear baseball caps or hockey shirts and
watch other people play. And then there are the Canadian version of
soccer fans. Being a multi cultural country, we have our share of
various cultural groups who come out of the woodwork and sport the flags
of their homeland when the old country's soccer team is doing well in
the world cup, but as soon as their homeland team gets bumped out of the
series they go back to whatever, guaranteed not to be actually playing
soccer.

Boy Howdy are your right on!! If the manager cannot spare the candle
holder, than go to the restaurant supply house and you can probably find
them cheap. Some people would steal the ashtrays in the olden days when
they had the restaurant name on them. It is still an overhead and a
headache for the restaurant to reorder them. I have a couple of place
settings of silverware (real silver) marked as "Brown Palace". I am fairly
sure that my mother bought them at a garage sale when she lived in Longmont
in her older years. I know that no one in my family was eating at the Brown
back then, as we were not that wealthy. I always say that I am going to
send them back to the hotel, but never actually bother to do it. I cringe
to think about who swiped them!!

Don't take a cell call when he or she is trying to take the order.

Don't yell "Hey, waitress" across the room.

If there is a table cloth on the table, don't take a cell phone call at
any time. I don't mind if people talk on cell phones in McDonalds, but
not in a nice restaurant.

Same goes for hats/caps on men. If you want to wear your John Deere or
Dallas Cowboys cap at McDonalds, thats fine with me. But gentlemen do
not wear hats/caps in a nice restaurant.

And if your kid has a hissy fit in any restaurant, get them out of there
until they are calmed down. I know... YOUR children are perfect ANGELS
and even strangers stop you on the street to tell you how wonderful YOUR
children are. I'm not talking about YOUR children... I'm talking about
everyone else's children... you know... the ones who cry and scream and
whine and stand on their chair and throw their rolls at each other. And
the ones who climb down from their chairs and run around the restaurant
like maniacs let loose on a weekend pass from the asylum. THOSE kids...
not YOURS whom we all know are absolutely perfect.

You shouldn't wear a hat or cap at a table when you are eating....
period. You can't expect much better at McDonalds.

Like the kids whose name all the other diner learn because they are
addressed by name so many times and given warning after warning after
warning, but no consequences.

There's a big difference between taking the 20¢ ashtray and a handful
of book matches with the big "S" from the Sheraton and swiping your
host's $100 crystal nut bowl. But still, in the case of the ashtray
one should ask... usually you'll be given a brand new one.

Quite a few times I've had acquaintences as dinner guests, people most
of yoose would classify as "friends", and after everyone left I
discovered how my guest bath was cleaned out of aspirin, bandaids,
nail clippers, even nose hair scissors... someone even lifted my
toothbrush.

I'm very careful who I invite into my home, and really prefer to meet
for dinner at a restaurant. I still remember a fellow I worked with
inviting me to Thanksgiving dinner, his wife asked if I would cook so
I agreed, I arrived early that day and began preparing food for like
30 people. Wasn't long there was an occasion I needed to use the
terlit, I was pointed in the direction and when I turned on the light
there was the hostesses diamond engagement ring on the sink vanity...
these weren't po' folk, it was a rock. Immediately I called both over
to point out her ring. They thought nothing of it and choose to leave
it right there, telling me that none of their "friends" would think to
take anything, made me feel like I was insulting them for suggesting
such. I aked if it was real, indignantly they both said of course.
Right there I developed an illness and left while that ring was right
there before both their eyes. The very next day they phoned to let me
know that I was correct and they appologized, after everyone left they
had discovered the ring was gone. Took every bit of willpower I
possesed to keep from calling them imbeciles. I was very happy I left
when I did. I don't really like to accept invites to other people's
homes either, with acquaintances about I much prefer dining out. When
valuables disappear when guests are about it's to be expected, when
left out in the open those things are known as attractive nuisances...
otherwise honest people can lose their mind momentarily when small
valuables and especially cash is lying about untended. Even when
things are put away they can disappear when there's a house full of
guests. And with a house full of guests who does one blame, typically
the new kid on the block... I don't want to be in that position and so
I don't readily accept invites easily. I don't permit guests to
wander about my home freely, I never tell guests to make themselves to
home... to a lot of people making themselves to home means rifling
through your stuff and taking whatever strikes their fancy.

OMG... I hope you bought a new terlit seat... I'd have booked a suite

I was in Dallas a while back at a very nice restaurant with old
friends and was astonished at the sheer number of men with cowboy hats
firmly jammed on their heads.
