rps Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Garth is giving a concert in my old home town. I was reading an article about that concert in the "Tulsa Scene." The article recommended five places to eat before the concert. This is the menu item from one of those places. The name of the place has been omitted to protect the innocents. The 11th Street Bridge, an Alaskan salmon roasted on an Eastern red cedar plank and served over hazelnut-infused whipped potatoes and baby rainbow carrots. Those of you who read my posts know I am a foody and I do know something about fine dining. As they say in the rap music, let's break it down. Salmon is on all menus because it is always available, farm raised regardless of ocean, and cheap compared to real fish caught by real fishing boats. Purveyors routinely dye the meat, and if they don't, the chef does. Roasting on cedar sounds cool but infuses the flesh with cedar flavors that hide how bland the farm raised fish may taste. Then you pair it with hazel nut infused whipped potatoes. Let's see, pour a little cheap a$$ amaretto into over cooked potatoes to make sure the lack of potato flavor is hidden. Then serve it all with carrots - they may be different colors but they are still carrots - that no one bothered to peel or clean. Dang I'm hungry. And stupid. Let's go there honey!

rps Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Interesting. Somehow two phrases I used above became links to other web sites - one ebay and one Indigo. I did not do this. Anyone know what is going on?
Quillback Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 That link thing is kind of weird - when I hover the cursor over one of them it says - "Link added by VigLink".
Quillback Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Let's see if I type Eastern Red Cedar if it adds a link. Well it did not - rps you may have VigLink running on your PC.
Quillback Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I spoke too soon - I see that Eastern Red Cedar in my post above has been turned into a link.
ness Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 OK -- that's a new one. They're (whoever 'they' are) always figuring out new ways to get advertising in front of us. This one is particularly lame. Of course, if it helps keep this forum online I s'pose I can ignore it. John
ness Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 RPS -- you nailed it on dissecting the recipe. That's always something I get a chuckle out of -- that one's especially bad. Fish on a shingle, mashed taters and carrots. John
rps Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 If you go to Viglink's site you can opt out for the computer you are on.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 9, 2015 Root Admin Posted January 9, 2015 I was looking at this yesterday- didn't know it existed. But I didn't think I turned it on!!! I'll have to go look at it.
