Post #36 - February 2nd, 2010, 11:39 amI'm sorry to do this so late, but I won't be able to cook this month (family stuff). I'd still like to come to dinner, though."To get long" meant to make do, to make well of whatever we had; it was about having a long view, which was endurance, and a long heart, which was hope.

Post #40 - February 4th, 2010, 12:56 pmFor everyone planning to attend the dinner on Monday the 8th:
By my count, we have 8 participants for the exchange (meaning everyone needs to prepare 7 portions) and a total of 11 for dinner. For the benefit of those preparing food, please let the group know today if you won't be joining us or choose not to cook.
Otherwise, looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

Post #41 - February 4th, 2010, 7:54 pmI will be bringing Chicken and Date Tagine.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

Post #42 - February 5th, 2010, 10:16 amHi,
The "Exploded Catfish" served at Spoon Thai (and Sticky Rice) is called Yam Plaa Duk Fuu. When I have tried to order it the last few years, I was told it needed advance ordering. If they simply decline, don't worry. In digging up the name, I found a second source for it at Sticky Rice.
There is more information on this dish here.
Regards,Cathy2

Post #44 - February 5th, 2010, 4:21 pmWe are now reserved for 1 table for 13 and 2 orders of Yam Plaa Duk Fuu! Have a good weekend everyone and don't eat so much at your Superbowl parties that you spoil your appetite for Spoon...on second thought, not likely for this group

Post #49 - February 8th, 2010, 10:30 amHi,
I counted seven portions. While Moet Chandon did not announce her offering, I assume she is still attending.
I made everything Saturday and froze it, so I have eight portions.

Post #51 - February 8th, 2010, 11:16 amI will be there. It took me a while to figure out what I will be bringing. I will bring pulled pork with black beans. Trying something new. We'll see how it turns out.

Post #52 - February 8th, 2010, 11:50 amTook my dog to the vet for checkup that is turning into an afternoon procedure with anesthesia. Pick up time - you guessed it - 7pm.
I have the gumbo good to go, so I will swing by Spoon before or during dinner for a drop off. I will not be able to stay for the catfish
To keep this food related - Devin is the pumpkin eating doberman of the shopping/cooking thread. Keep good thoughts for him.

Post #53 - February 8th, 2010, 1:06 pmWendy,
Sorry to hear that Devin is under the weather and hope he's on the mend as we speak. We can do the exchange whenever it's convenient for you (and could make you up a to-go box of Spoon goodies for that matter) By the way, I'm Boudreau's mom (of the beautifully Thomas Keller-brined pork tenderloin) so i definitely can sympathize!

Post #54 - February 8th, 2010, 1:19 pmWendy,
If you get there before I do for the exchange, please leave your portion for me. Well figure out who lives near you to collect your portion from me to pick up.
Looking forward to this and that wonderful catfish!
Regards,Cathy2

I think that you need to arrive after 7:00. Before 7:00 there will be no one to exchange with.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik
