I've been following them since I bought my first copies of "Eat your Way
Across the USA" and "Road Food" We have eaten at many of the
recommended joints during our years of travel. I check their web site
sometimes before we do a road trip, too.

Yay Barb !! I have been subscribed to Saveur since 1999. I can't
wait for this issue to hit my mailbox.
You deserve some recognition for all your hard work ! (outside of
your local area)
I'm privileged to call you a board friend.

Oh, like that makes someone a celebrity. I don't watch food network
programming and I really don't care who is on Jay Leno.

That's rather callous of you, Andy. Barb doesn't post often anymore. But
she has won awards in the past for jams and jelly. I say congrats to Barb
for being published again.

I looked for the magazine today, but B&N still had the May
issue on the rack. I'll be watching for the new issue.

I'm wondering if there's a picture of her tats with the
article.

I'm sure I'm not subscribed to that one-- first I heard of it. It
took a long time to load, but it finally did. [IE8 & Win XP- with

By yimminee, I almost did "piss and moan", but have been so busy
tweaking my new flat-panel monitor on my ancient linux desktop
computer and trying to sort that out, only paid passing attention to
your article. Anyway, yer a dear to think of me, Barb, and I
appreciate yer posting it, as I'm sure others are. I really am
looking forward to reading it. ;)

I'll get back to you after I get this sucker dialed in. Now, where's

It worked for me using Seamonkey, but apparently one can only zoom
3 pages. That didn't get me through the article.

A fun read, Barb.

BTW, I can view yer blog jes fine, photos and all. I thought you were
posting the Saveur article, which would be nice. Like many others,
here, I cannot read the Zenio page, it containing some kinda screwy
subscritpion pop-up dead across the center of article text, preventing
one from reading anything but what's in the margins.

Post a link to the MPR interview. That should be online, somewheres,
when it finally does air.

Oh, and congrats on being the only blue ribbon winner to never eata
beeta. BTW, how does that work? Why does that work? Why would anyone
want it to work? Can I be yer beta beeta eater?

--questions from nb, a late-in-life beeter eater ;)

Nothing like a little obtuseness to raise the level of discourse,
sqwish.

I'll bet you're one of those hypocrites who takes great offense at the

In article <2012052808470449561-xxx@yyyzzz>, x...@yyy.zzz says...
When you open the link, is it at the page with a pic of Barb?

Hover your cursor on the pic and when it goes black, click the arrow
where it says "Preview this article". Wait for the article page to reload
with same pic and bottom toolbar, press "fullscreen" on the bottom
toolbar. This enlarges it to readable size. Use the arrows on the bottom
right corner to turn the pages.

FWIW, didn't work for me either, using 3 different browsers - and
waiting for 'a bit' - maybe I'm just not patient enough ;-)

Ahem, would rather we didn't discuss things like 'high speed' around

Anyway, have a strong suspicion that it might also have something to do
with not having the 'latest and greatest' version of Flush (um, I mean
Flash) Player which seems to need updating every 5 or 10 minutes these

You're not patient enough. The Zinio server is slow and the interface
ain't that great - there's little indication on the screen that a page
is being loaded. You probably should wait a little while longer. The
article is OK. I didn't get to the recipe part because I'd have to
subscribe to read it.

It probably would. You could use another browser or go into privacy
mode. In IE, it's ctrl+alt+p. This opens up a screen that sets no
cookies among other things. Good luck!

Don't talk like that! Are you trying to freak out Julie?

The preview works fine for me. I have IE's standard settings for
cookies (no session cookies without permission). Maybe somebody

What the hell are you 5 years old? I can read the articles just fine. I

Marne Sutton. Big deal.

It's quite simple - just go into incognito mode by holding down shift +
control and then hitting "n." No subscription or following idiotic
instructions required.

There's no way that a guy would have a subscript to that mag - it's like
one of those in-flight mags that they give away on planes. It's so bland!

There's also no way in hell that I'd ever follow your advice on
computers - don't you know this already? I guess not!

Talk about cultural shock. As a pup, jes outta the service, I worked
a couple Summers at the CA state fair. Great time! Lifetime
memories. Now, in Eyebleed CO, I only have our county fair,
fairgrounds so small, a free horse carriage ride around the entire
perimeter is about 8 mins. Only four food concessions! Regardless,
I'd forgot how much I'd missed a livestock barn and that intoxicating
aroma. You know how they say smells trigger the greatest memories.
Boy, howdy! As a kid, I spent a lotta time on a small ranch and have
always gone to county and state fairs. All those came flooding back
with the earthy smells of the livestock pens of our tiny postage stamp
sized county fair. I wish they could bottle that scent or make
candles. I'll be there this year, too. ;)

Thanks for wasting my time yet again. It always comes down to you saying
that I'm lying about the stupidest of petty little things. Waddaya
expect from a clueless blowhard still stuck in the 90s?

You don't know shit about Chrome but I've been using it since day one.
Don't presume to lecture me about this program. I'm going to defcon 2
and putting you on complete ignore. All I know is that you owe me for
wasting my time and hell will have a special place for people that waste
the time of others.
