the thing though Isles is that you don't see the fruit and result of the trades and moves and such immediately, so you can't at the same time jugde the aforementioned trades and moves and such until you give it time to bake. You wouldn't judge a meal by it's ingrediants but rather what they produce after the prep, mixing and 45 minuts of cooking.

Martin, that's a great analogy. Of course I would start judging a meal/restaurant based on the ingredients that are used. They only enhance the finished dish and experience. If you're using the best and freshest seasonal ingredients and using them properly so that they complement each other, the chances of having a 4 star meal on a consistent basis is a lot greater than if you're using ingredients that other restaurants don't want to use anymore, that are out of season, low quality and/or past their prime. Sure, every now and then you might get a good meal, hell even 5 times in a row, but the consistency over a long period of time won't be there and the restaurant will never be considered to be one of the best.

ok then, this I will submit: to a 5-star chef, what he or she is able to see in a pile of smelly fish is not the same as what you and I shall see and smell. Where we would plug our nose, a good chef would see an esquisite dinner, but only after mixing with other ingrediants and cooking. You can't judge the dinner on the ingrediants alone. That last part is key.

First off, fish shouldn't be smelly. Any chef using smelly fish isn't a chef and should be reported to the health department. Fish, if anything, should smell briny, like the sea. It all starts with the ingredients, you can't make bad ingredients good, no matter how talented the chef is. Without good ingredients the cooking part is useless. By the way, did I mention that I'm a classically trained chef and have worked in some of the finest restaurants in the city?

Anyone can make a hard boiled egg (almost anyone ) but you gotta crack a bunch of eggs to make a championship omelette.

Isiah has only started to break some eggs for his version of a Knicks playoff quiche

The length of time he keeps it in the oven is another matter, One does NOT want to undercook OR burn it, ce n'est pas?

Quiche, that figures. I don't root for quiche. And I wouldn't trust Isiah to make any omelette.

Contemporary American. Amazingly enough, I'm not big on cooking asian food, eating it is another matter. I'd be more than happy to cook for everyone. But I already get the feeling that everyone will be judging my cooking very harshly.

You could trust me though, I wouldn't taint your food. Although if Isiah showed up, I would have a "special" wonton soup for him. And nothing that I make pairs well with Kool-Aid.

Great picture Marv.

And I wouldn't trust Isiah to make any omelette.

Islesfan - it's plainly evident your hatred of Isiah is such that you look forward to seeing the Knicks fail.

That just isn't Kosher in my book

What's Cookin'?

“We have the pieces -- and we have the coach,” says Davis. “Still, when you take a dish that has a lot of different ingredients and you just throw them all in the pot, it doesn’t mean it is going to taste good. You have to mix it. You have to season it. You have let it simmer. That’s where we’re at right now. We have a lot of good things in the pot. And eventually -- and I think we are beginning to see signs just about now -- the dish is going to taste very, very fine.”

Amen!
And it isn't just that you hate the knicks, it's that you call anyone that likes them a dope.
If you were just like some of my buddies that hate the knicks and argued just knicks and didn't use derogatory remarks when called on your hatred, then you'd be ok.

Where's fish...I've noticed he hasn't run to your rescue recently.

Suddenly the hater bandwagon just has one. Time to start Accentuating the positives...for the love of god. Don't be such a downer, get of zeke's back!
