Well THAT was useful! :)

According to this page (there are other equivalencies there too):

http://www.hubcom.com/recipe/convert.html

dssp = dessert spoon = 10 ml or about 2 teaspoons

It's a dessertspoon - I forget what that would be in "American". I'll
have to go measure my mother's spoons.

Bought my dog some medicine (Hartz)and it had a measurement cup in it
with dssp on the side along with teaspoon,oz., etc. (This was my first
time to see this measurement also)It turned out to be two
teaspoons.Maybe dssp means double teaspoon. Just a guess on my part.

Geez. Maybe you shouldn't have bothered *this* time.

Anyway, I would guess that perhaps it means "dessertspoon". How
much the measurement is in terms of familiar measurements, I've no
idea; maybe somewhere between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon?

A dessertspoon is equivalent to two teaspoons (10ml or 1/3 floz)

Hope this helps,

I think that is 2 teaspoons or 10ml whichever you use.  I work in a pharmacy (as a lowly technician) and have come across that in prescriptions, however it has been quite awhile.  I'll double check it with the boss.  If it is incorrect I'll post and correct it.

What exactly do you mean by "white trash cooking"?

I do agree that his new live show is kinda obnoxious. He used to be more low
key and had some pretty good recipes.

They are probably watching him for the same reason I am, his BODY. I am a 26

I've often wondered just how much Emeril an the other TVFN chefs really
have to do with their restaraunts. TVFN comes out of NY or NJ and they
must spend one hell of a lot of time there taping all the shows. I'm
sure they tape a bunch at one time but for Emeril, with his live show,
he's gotta be there each day it is shown. It would seem to me that
someone else runs the restaraunt and he pretty much just lends his
name to the enterprise. So the quality of the food there depends as
much, or more so, on whoever is in charge than on Emeril.

Just where in the hell did you see his body? On TV he wears a chefs
jacket and stands behind the counter on the set. Or is he hawking
an Emeril chef/beefcake calendar that I haven't seen advertised yet?

That's the difference between an amateur and a professional.
If you or I did it, it would be a mess. When a pro does
it, it's a presentation. Kind of like when you take a
blurry photo or one where a head gets chopped off. It's
a mistake. But when a pro does it, it's art. Go figure.

Emeril flys to NY and only stays a few days to tape a few week's worth of
shows.

Yeah- but he's not nearly as bad as that guy on Cucina Amore, who's always
saying; "SNAP into action!". I mean, really, does anyone need to hear it 4

That's "gahlic". There's no "r" in garlic

As I said, I don't like what TV has done to Emeril, but then on the
otherhand, a guy that owns four restaurants, at least three with a
good international reputation, must have more than that going for
him in the food department.

Sheesh! The guy has a Ph.D after all. He must have learned something.

You could plug the hole in the Ozone layer with people that have

what B.S is. M.S. is just More of the Same, and Ph.D. is Piled Higher
and Deeper."

I guess I've just lived in academic isolation. I've never met any
like that.

BTW, what sort of academic qualifications do you have?

Ph.D., Abc, BBS, CBS, MTV, BBC, VCR, AM and FM.

Of course, it shouldn't matter. Unless you measure a person by the
amount of paper they've utilized for diplomas, and achievements.

While one should be truly proud of the hard work that went into such
things, I feel the less they are mentioned, the more they worth.

What does a Ph.D. have to do with BAM!! and an entertainer's ability
to deep fry okra?

Your values seem somewhat skewed:)

Actually, I wasn't. I was under the bizarre impression that "live"
really meant "live". How silly of me. One more thing about Emeril
that I don't like. Thanks for clearing that up.

At our house, we don't mind "catching" Emeril semi-live couple times a week
(for 15 min or so @.)and his recipes on FoodTV net are interesting. He's
pleasant enough, though he needs a few more "stock" lines....but, give him a
break.....he's stays pretty busy in that hour.
Anybody know his bio? Where born? Is he Portegese? Married? Schooling, Lives
where? (presume NO with visits to NY)
Other than some training/background in his cookbooks (eg. Commanders Palace,
Emeril NO and LV, etc.), I haven't seen much on him.

Go to http://www.foodtv.com and click on either Emeril Live or Essence
of Emeril(I forget which). There is a bio of him there.
And more recently he said one night that he has just bought Commander's
Palace. Seems like the Brennan sisters decided that they wanted to
retire and called him to see if he was interested in buying it.

Hey, Emeril's a great guy, and I enjoy his shows. Some people don't like him;
so what. I know there's a lot of people who love the 'Two Fat Ladies'...I
can't stand them, so different strokes, etc...

I was never interested in cooking until I happened onto Emeril's show
while channel surfing. It looks like fun, it's creative, and a
practical hobby to have--you gotta eat.

If you can get past the nonsense, there's a great deal of real cooking going
on. He's a consummate chef (unless the recipes credited to him were stolen, and
the books ghostwritten) but only an average actor.

I cling to the conviction that the director makes him do it. Look what the
public did to Prudhomme, whose whole reputation is based on calling an
economically necessary perversion of a novelle creole dish 'Cajun'.

Not really.

He did buy a historic family restaurant in New Orleans, called
Delmonico's. It is currently being renovated.

Commander's Palace is the restaurant he was executive chef at many years
ago, before opening Emeril's.


Emeril will soon own 5 restaurants:

-Emeril's - New Orleans - Current

-Nola's - New Orleans - Current

-Delmonico's - New Orleans - Soon

-Emeril's New Orleans Fish House - MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas - Current

-?Emeril's? - Universal Studios, Orlando FL - Early 1999, or so
