I just check the advanced pastry checf Vol. 2 is by Friberg? The Books by Jean-georges is Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, Sweet Spot : Asian-Inspired Desserts, Jean-Georges : Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef, Simple to Spectacular : How to Take One Basic Recipe to Four Levels of Sophistication, and Simple Cuisine : Easy Recipes for Four-Star Food. (KWIM??):confused1: I'm sorry don't understand I just got my computer a couple of months ago so not familiar with all terms yet:shame:

Yep, it's by Frieberg. Great book! OK, I just checked Amazon, and the Jean-Georges book is called "Cooking at Home with a Four Star Chef". Great book also!!!

Ooooo, everyone has great ideas! I love great coats too, Hermesaholic.

Fesdu, I like funny people, too. The entire brood is a pack of pranksters. Like Rockerchic, I have a collection of tank tops in every color. And the reason you can't wear DVF wrap dresses is because you're so tiny!!! Ms. Jade, I haven't been to a Trader Joe's in ages, but put me in a gourmet grocery store and I go hog wild!!!!

Nope it's my overabundance of booty and underabundace of cleavage.:crybaby:

Also I reread my thread and I don't know what I was trying to say about boots:confused1:...I meant that you need every style of black boot from ankle boot to knee, flat to heels, zip up, pull up and lace up...

AND, clearly there are a lot of things on my list that don't fall into the "not ultraexpensive"...at first I was just going to put my finds down (like the limited pant and the h&m wrap dress but obviously then I added some of my favorite splurges!

...and I hadn't even been drinking yet!

Patagonia fleece
Dansko clogs

Fekkai glossing cream
Diet coke
Dark chocolate milky ways (I can't even buy them because I eat them too fast)

Great thread!!

1) Good food (doesn't have to be fancy but I do like a classical French meal)
2) Cheeses (artisanal, obscure...)
3) Stationery (am into G. Lalo right now) Must have pretty stationery to write thank-you notes to my SAs
4) Diamonds (I don't have many but I like the ones I have)
5) Manolo Blahnik (He is the master of a well-balanced shoe that is more comfortable than it looks)
6) One pair of Louboutins, "Miss Titck"--best all-purpose shoe, ever
7) My $9.99 stretch scoop neck Target T-shirts (Merona brand) that I wear almost every day, including to work ($7.99 on sale)
8) Black fitted Chanel jacket
9) J. Crew cafe capris and matchstick jeans
10) Laduree macarons
11) Nice, high-thread count, 100% cotton bedding

How could I forget the Merona t-shirts from target? They are the best...I get them in bulk while I'm there --in black and white, scoop and vneck-- and wear them under everything.

Julide, you need to take a look at "The Advanced Professional Pastry Chef". Great pictorials on technique. I have both of Thomas Keller's cookbooks and enjoy them. You should look at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's books as well. Some of his recipes are divine in their simplicity, but the results were amazing! And you must have a lot of patience to own copper pots!!!!
