Hell's Kitchen Porridge!

So, in March, I was in MPLS.

I ate at Hell's Kitchen and had more of their yummy yummy Mahnomin Porridge.

I posted about this to food_porn and someone gave me a link to the recipe online at http://www.kstp.com/article/view/29631/

But that URL has aged out.

So I sent some mail:

Subject: Looking for an old article....

Around mid-march of this year, the following URL was valid:
http://www.kstp.com/article/view/29631/

Now it isn't.

As weird as it may seem, as the piece was one discussing a recipe for
porridge as made at Hell's Kitchen, I really really really want to find
that recipe.

Do you have an article archive that isn't searched by the Search field?
Can I pay someplace to get access to this piece?

Anything?

(I mean, I'm a sysadmin... I know what it's like to dig stuff like this
off of backup media... but I really wasn't expecting the link to go
invalid on me...)

Please?

Thanks so much,
JB Segal

Today, I got a reply!

This story is no longer available on the web.

I have attached to the end of this email for you.

and in my joy, I responded:

THANK YOU! A Million Thanks. Woo Hoo! and other such expressions of joy.

You have made my day... and quite possibly a number of breakfasts over
then next couple of months. :)

Thanks again,
JB

YAY!!!!

I'm so happy!

( Oh... You want the recipe? )
