Five comments you may have missed
When I posted an entry about commenting a few days ago, I mentioned that I, as the comment "publisher," get to see them all as they come in, so I don't miss any. Some people new to my blog must go back and read a lot of entries at once, so if there's a subject you were interested in, like places to get great coffee, it's worth going back every once in awhile to see if anyone has added to the list.
C mac asked this in a post:
Can't the webheads figure out a way to add a side link to recently posted comments?
I asked a couple of our Web Masters, but they said probably not. So I'm taking things into my own hands and repeating worthwhile comments from the past week on older entries. (Of course, every comment is worthwhile, and I love them like my own children, but I probably don't need to repeat "chocolate rocks" to you.) ...
* Is Rub authentic?
From Steve: "I went to Rub and liked it very much. I grew up in Texas and consider myself a BBQ expert. Mesquite wood is not the wood most BBQ with. Hickory wood is the number one wood. Mesquite gives off a very strong flavor. So, mesquite is used in small qunatities on top of other wood or charcoal. Rub has great ribs and brisket, just like home in Texas. I love the decor."
* It's Doughnut Wednesday
From Leigh: "The bakery in Galena, on the Eastern Shore, is Village Bakery. I believe it's about to move to Chestertown, though." (In response to Jessica, who couldn't remember its name but thinks it has the world's best doughnuts.)
* Top Ten Restaurants Worth the Gas Money
From c mac: "I agree with Chris' comment about Shark's Cove, but it's out of date. The place was sold to the same group that runs Blue Coast (Bethany), Fish-on (Lewes), and one other place I can't remember. What was Shark's Cove is now Catch 54, and the change seems to have reinvigorated the restaurant. More casual than before, I think, but very good seafood, better wine program, and nice cheap menu of "bar snacks" to munch on the dock."
* The wine doggie bag law
From Hal Laurent, commenting on this previous comment about ordering wine from another state: "I really don't think that teenagers looking to get drunk are going to do so by ordering a case of Merlot.
Contrary to what many people think, the liquor laws aren't about public safety or morals, but rather about economics. Those who currently have the legal power to distribute alcoholic beverages in Maryland are loathe to share that power with others, and their lobbying power with the legislature is substantial."
* Fab Five Friday: Worst Moments
From Scott Jay Regner: "Shame about Peerce's--That used to be THE spot to go for folks in my area (Carney, cub Hill) back in the day (like 1970's). They used to have a prime rib with a green peppercorn sauce that was really good & back then they had excellent service. Great location too--you could sit outside and watch the sun go down over Loch Raven."
