And for anyone else who is in the area on that day, you're all invited, too! 20367. poipual - 10/15/2006 10:31:49 PM alister, judith, arky
Thanks for the nice words.

What do you mean by ace's fame? I bookmarked his web site, but I haven't gone back to it. Guess I'll have to.
Alister
Do I remember rigt that you live in France? I love France and the French, so I must love you. Maybe you were the nice fellow in Nice who helped he find our hotel that I would never have found on my own.

Since I know you well, I understand that's the best you can do. 20368. judithathome - 10/15/2006 10:38:49 PM Al, Ace is now quoted on blogs like Ann Coulter's and he has even been featured on CNN in a short blurb, complete with his own self making comments...our boy has arrived! 20369. jexster - 10/15/2006 11:24:45 PM I'm jess bein me Al

20371. robertjayb - 10/15/2006 11:45:49 PM Probably not. Looking back I see he is on Kauai. Looks way far away from Hawaii. 20372. jexster - 10/15/2006 11:50:21 PM Oh I get it.

Patsy 20377. alistairconnor - 10/16/2006 10:16:13 AM Looks like a cool book, Patsy!
Drove through Maine eight years ago... That diner is exactly the sort of place you'd want to come across, but rarely do without local knowledge; 20378. Jenerator - 10/16/2006 1:11:39 PM I didn't know that about Ace - that's wonderful. He always was one of the wittiest posters around. 20379. Magoseph - 10/16/2006 1:48:34 PM See Ace here, Jen: Message # 3046 in thread 148 20380. wabbit - 10/16/2006 2:58:48 PM  A1 Diner: Real Food, Recipes, and Recollections
Someone has given the book a nice review at Amazon:
A1 Diner: Real Food, Recipes, & Recollections isn't just a straightforward cookbook; it gathers memories of the people who owned and worked for the A1 Diner, from which these time-tested favorite tastes have been gathered. Numerous anecdotes and recollections pepper such long-beloved A1 Diner recipes as Individual Cheese Souffles, Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce, Mike's Shrimp Scampi, Lime Avocado Salad with Pistachios, and a great deal more. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate this excellent cookbook of authentic diner delicacies. Here is Sarah Rolph's website.20381. judithathome - 10/16/2006 3:15:26 PM Really, Jen? I thought Niner was far more witty than Ace. His humor had an elegance to it and he didn't have to beat anyone over the head with...he just assumed people "got it" and moved on. 20382. judithathome - 10/16/2006 3:18:38 PM Where in Maine is that diner? We lived in Maine for a year...I wonder if it's the one we stopped at on our way to the northern part of the state? 20383. Jenerator - 10/16/2006 3:52:28 PM Niner and Ace were best buddies.
Thanks Mags!
;-) 20384. judithathome - 10/16/2006 6:44:30 PM Jen, I know that. I've been posting here as long as you have.
I was just saying Niner was more witty than Ace.
Speaking of funny, you might appreciate this joke that was posted at RI:
President Bush gets out of his helicopter in front of the White House carrying a baby pig under each arm.
The Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "Nice pigs, sir."
Bush replies: "These are not pigs, these are Texan Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Rice, and I got one for Defence Secretary Rumsfeld."
The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "Nice trade, sir."
