Hell's Kitchen Porridge!

[jbsegal]

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!

I had the recipe already--got it emailed by the nice folks at Hell's Kitchen. This is a request--for the sake of those of us whose eyes aren't what they once were, can you please not use that teeny-tiny print for large amounts of text. A superscripted number or something, sure, but not lines and lines of copy.

That's your browser that's mishandling the <pre> </pre> wrapper.

It's interesting that they're willing to give it out now, as when I asked 2 years ago for some recipes, they said they didn't give them out.

It sounds scrumptous, JB. High calorie, but perfect for a cold day!

[perspicuity.livejournal.com]

fat and carbs - what's not to like...

serve with extra fat and sugar, er cream and syrup - the stuff is made with that too. it's like saying "have a side of spam served with spam..." spam spam spam spam :)

(i was trying to make something like this a couple weeks ago, after having gone to H'sK for breakfast at fiddler's green. good to have a recipe though since mine didn't work out too well :)

That's the sort of thing that archive.org is handy for.
