Hey Gang,

I'm away from home right now, on a visit to Vancouver, BC that included a funeral of a former co-worker earlier in the week... but now I'm having good times w/ friends on this dark, cold, rainy night. Our menu here at Bob's tonight includes warm stout loaves, caribou chili, rootbeer floats and parmesan/cayenne popcorn! YUM!

Just a quick check-in w/ a question while our gang takes a break from our movie-night... We're watching the CAMPY "Mommie Dearest" (I know... I know! Ha!) and Joan Crawford just ordered a black & blue Ny York Steak and a Limestone Salad.

Does anybody know what a "Limestone Salad" is? In all my years of fine-dining, before my camp cooking days, I never worked a menu that offered it... Not sure what it is at all.

Any ideas?

Hope you're all well. I should be back home and settled in to my usual routine next week... smiles- kevin
