Oh...there was an article published in the Wall Street Journal back in
2001. A writer from the WSB had a food and wine section called me out
of the blue and I was interviewed for what I planned to do with
Thanksgiving leftovers.

"The turkey entrée is garnished with rosemary sprigs and accompanied by
a warm spinach salad. There's also a squash- and-cornbread-stuffing
casserole with parmesan, a toasted baguette with balsamic vinegar for
dipping and a crisp Pinot Grigio. For dessert, there's peach cobbler
with vanilla ice cream.

It sounds like an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner -- but it's what's on
the menu tonight at Jill McQuown's house. She'll serve the meal, made
with last night's leftovers, on her grandmother's gold-rimmed peacock
Victorian china. The feast will be an intimate affair, shared only with
her boyfriend, says the 44-year-old software analyst from Memphis, Tenn.
"Tonight will be fancy," she says."

I do recall saying the leftovers would be "fancy" because I made
individual casseroles, similar to turkey cottage pie and and yes, some
springs of rosemary. There was squash casserole. No peach cobbler or
ice cream. That came out of the writers' imagination for what people in
the South have for Thanksgiving. Surprising no mention of pumpkin or
pecan pie.

The Wall Street Journal called you "out of the blue" for an interview
for leftover Thanksgiving dinner plans? lol
Try again. Large hole (missing info) in this story.

Same with your story about the "American Heart Association" asking you
for recipes. Did they call you "out of the blue" too?

See there Michael? I know her history. (23+ years now)
You hadn't even started elementary school then.

No "hole". They did call me out of the blue. Even back then there was
such a thing as Google and the author of the article saw I was posting
about Thanksgiving leftovers (turkey cottage pie) and yes, she called me.

INCORRECT (as usual). The AHA didn't *ask me* for recipes. I was given
some free AHA cookbooks from a book distributor in Collierville TN and
was asked to try some recipes from the AHA cookbooks and report back to
the AHA. They were looking for honest critiques.

Gary, you don't know nearly as much about me as you think you do.

And its smart to keep your secrets AWAY from all men, in general. Just like many men do with women. Good practice.

Uh-uh... Michael isn't getting involved in this.

Although, I'd like to point out that 23 years ago (1999), I was in
pre-school, if that counts. I have a couple of Christmas ornaments
which I made, dated "1999" from Mrs. Wychoff's class that I still hang
on the tree every year, for proof :)

Oh all right. So you made turkey cottage pie. (That sounds good)

So why did you tell her:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The turkey entrée is garnished with rosemary sprigs and accompanied by
a warm spinach salad. There's also a squash- and-cornbread-stuffing
casserole with parmesan, a toasted baguette with balsamic vinegar for
dipping and a crisp Pinot Grigio. For dessert, there's peach cobbler

Victorian china. The feast will be an intimate affair, shared only with
her boyfriend, says the 44-year-old software analyst from Memphis, Tenn.
"Tonight will be fancy," she says.
------------------------------------------------------------------

I also noticed that the article was published in 2004, not 2001 as you
stated. Do you wonder why I question you?

I cannot explain the date but perhaps it was a re-print for that online
version. I did indeed make squash casserole (I've posted that recipe
here, too). I have no idea where she got the peach cobbler and ice
cream thing.

Well hell, Dave, I'm disappointed! ;) Gary has mentioned in the past he
has a "file" on me (and who knows who else). That's just plain weird.

OB Food: I'm thinking salmon patties with roasted corn salsa.

Typical Murdoch fan boy. A percentage of your subscription covered all the Murdochian lawsuit settlements for harassment.

That's not just weird. It is downright creepy. It is the behaviour of a
stalker.

We are going out for dinner tonight. It was our son's birthday yesterday
but he was working. He is working today too but will be done by 6:30 so
we will go home and change and we will meet him at a German restaurant a
couple blocks from his house. It looks like Schnitzle and spaetzle for
supper for me.

Correction (just so you won't fret, Gary). If I was 44 then that
interview was indeed in 2004, not that it should matter one way or the
other. BTW, I was not the only person the author contacted although I
can't lay my hands on the entire article.

I don't obsess over the details of your life, silly.
I only comment when you say one thing, forget what you said, then later
tell another version. You do that.
