This may sound like a stupid question, but I'm really curious about that: What happens if a passenger dies on board a plane? I once read that the person is just covered with a sheet or something like that to pretend he is sleeping to not frighten other passengers. Is this really true?

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This soup was a delightful surprise. I can be quite critical when it comes to bean dishes, because more often than not, I'm disappointed in the way they taste. The financial constraints of SNAP challenge, however, made it necessary for me to experiment with bean recipes and this soup was one of my happier discoveries. I found the recipe in Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye because the soup is made in a slow cooker and uses common ingredients that, in the relative scheme of things, are quite inexpensive. The recipe is straight forward and easy to follow, though I did find the soup was done long before the time suggested in the directions. My batch was ready to serve after 6 hours in the pot. Had I let it simmer longer than that, the beans and vegetables would have completely dissolved and the soup would be more of a bean puree than the soup I was expecting. Despite its truly peasant nature and having to fiddle with the time, this is a delicious soup that I'll be making often. I really hope you'll give this recipe a try. I think you'll enjoy the soup as much as I have. Here is how it is made.
Slow Cooker Smoky Navy Bean Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Family Circle magazine
1 pound navy beans, soaked overnight
2 ham shanks (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1 large onion, chopped
3 ribs celery, thinly sliced
3 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes with chipotle or jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach
1) Coat slow-cooker bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Drain beans and add to slow cooker bowl. Stir in 6 cups water, ham, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes and thyme. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours.
3) Remove ham shanks from soup and shred meat. Remove 2 cups of soup, puree and return to slow cooker along with shredded ham. Add vinegar and salt and pepper. Add spinach by the handful and stir until wilted. Yield: 8 servings.

Clematis napaulensis
Clematis forrestii, Old Man's BeardOriginating from Nepal and parts of China, this rare and unusual clematis has a fascinating growth habit. Clematis napaulensis is cloaked in lush green foliage from autumn to early summer, before shedding its leaves in summer when most plants are in full growth. It's bell-shaped, winter blooms release a delicate perfume that hangs on the cool December air,that form interesting seed heads as spring approaches. This extraordinary, low maintenance Clematis needs little pruning, making it ideal for brightening the dull winter months.

Pruning group: 1. Supplied in 7cm pots.

A Game Plan For The Kona Bike Course
- By Lance Watson and Dan Smith
- Published Oct 4, 2013
- Updated 4 days ago
Anyone who has raced in Kona knows that it is unlike any other Ironman. To the uneducated eye the course looks rather nondescript, with a rolling open highway lined by black lava rock.
But the wind and heat make the race quite difficult, and the course requires much strength and stamina. Having a vivid mental picture of the bike course can make all the difference come race day. As with any race, breaking the course down into smaller segments and knowing what to expect will go a long way toward success.
Transition And In Town
Remember this is the Ironman World Championship, and the majority of the 1,800 racers exit the water in a 30–40-minute window. That means there are plenty of other cyclists around you on the road. On top of that, the crowd is revving everyone up as racers make a circuit of Kailua-Kona. Then it's back up Palani and onto the Queen K Highway.
TIP: Stay within your zones—it's easy to get carried away. In town, concentrate on steady breathing and good cadence, and be aware of surrounding riders.

Nationality: POLBorn : 12.01.1984Place of birth: Wrzesnia
Height: 1.87mPosition: PG
Team 2012-13: Stelmet Zielona Gora (Poland-PLK)Career: MKS Wrzesnia (Poland, up to 1999); SMS PZKosz Warka (Poland-PLK, 1999-03); Polonia Warszawa (Poland-PLK, 2003-06); Turow Zgorzelec (Poland-PLK; 2006-07); Anwil Wloclawek (Poland-PLK, 2007-09); Pepsi Caserta (Italy-LegaBasket, 2009-11); Trefl Sopot (Poland-PLK, 2011-12); Asseco Prokom Gdynia (Poland-PLK, 2012-13); Stelmet Zielona Gora (Poland-PLK, since March 2013)
Lukasz Koszarek developed into a true leader at the top level for both the national team and leading Polish clubs. He is a master of the pick-and-roll, with both weapons - shooting and passing to the rolling big-man - in his locker. The last 12 months were especially successful for Koszarek. He led the Polish national team to 1st place in their Qualification Round group with impressive performances in crucial games against Belgium and Finland. He then made his debut in the Euroleague, leaving a good impression with 11.1 points-per-game and 4.0 assists-per-game for Gdynia. After transferring to Stelmet Zielona Gora in March, he celebrated his first Polish Championship. Now, at 29 and at his fourth straight EuroBasket, "Koszar" is ready to be the leader again. As the Polish team is "bigs-heavy" it is obvious that a floor general is much needed and Koszarek always delivered more than four assists-per-game at the three previous EuroBaskets.

Have you seen the size of these girls in comparison to the monster? After been bullied, threatened and brain-washed for so long I'm surprised they still had hope of getting away. May God bless, heal and comfort these girls and restore to them the years that they've lost. My deepest sympathies to the monster's family, may God be with them too.

To spread Otaku-ism over San Antonio by connecting with the anime clubs in the area and building a strong community!
The San Antonio Otaku was inspired by a group of fans and cosplayers that I met while I was living in Philiadelphia. They dress up, go to malls and just generally hang out. I hoped that I could create something like that here in San Antonio. So, join, meet the locals, have some fun!
The San Antonio Otaku enjoy numerous gatherings throughout the year. We generally meet about once a month on a formal basis. But we also gather on a much more frequent basis in an informal fashion, just hanging out witha group of members here and there. In addition to our gatherings, The San Antonio Otaku also sponsor trips to Anime conventions taking place in the region. This allows members to enjoy the excitement of going to a convention, part of the highlights of being involved in cosplay. We have a forum. We plan trips and gatherings as well as discuss many issues relating to cosplay and anime in general. We encourage everyone who is interested in learning more about the group, to stop in at our forums, located in the website section.

Colesville's Tony and Sandy Eichler said that before his death several months ago, their son Charlie, 22, was a vibrant and happy young man living in New York and acting.
But that was before Eichler, a drug addict who was trying to wean himself off of methadone, began using synthetic marijuana, called "Spice" or "K-2," to get through the withdrawal symptoms of the methadone.
But the drugs, which he bought legally at a tobacco shop, wreaked havoc on their son, Eichler's parents said.
"He went from a vibrant young person to a person struggling to stay alive," said Charlie's father, Tony, recalling how his son lost feeling in his fingers, how he couldn't sleep, lost the ability to walk and had to use adult diapers.
"Every time I wake up, there's something else wrong with me," he remembers Charlie telling him.
Charlie eventually committed suicide, his parents said Monday, the day before new drug laws go into effect in Maryland, banning synthetic cannabanoids like the ones Eichler used. The law bans the sale of substances that invoke a cannabis-like response in the brain.
Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said letters would be sent to different stores in Montgomery County informing retailers about the ban. Prosecutors can seek a sentence of up to four years for possession of the drug, and up to 20 years for those who seek to distribute it, he said, explaining that the drugs could have a much stronger high than natural marijuana.
"The effect of this drug on the receptors of the brain can be 800 times more powerful than a THC high in a marijuana cigarrette," he said.
Synthetic cannabanoids are usually made from plant material that has been treated with chemicals similar to the drugs in marijuana, said Leah King, technical leader of the Forensic Chemistry Unit in Montgomery County Police's Crime Laboratory.
The drugs are sometimes packaged to appeal to young users. Police have come across versions of the drug with names like "Mr. Nice Guy" or "Scooby Snacks."
Part of the danger of synthetic drugs is that there is no quality control and no way to verify what's actually in the drugs, she said.
"It's dangerous — like smoking gasoline-treated vegetation," she said. The drugs have been tough to prosecute in the past; laws outlawed specific drugs, and chemists could change the drug's chemical make-up by just a molecule, creating a new, legal substance that elicited a similar high, she said.
"The effective gist is, these are products that were legal, and now are not," said Montgomery County Councilman George L. Leventhal (D-At Large), explaining that the law closes previous loopholes and that the new law covers any drug that invokes a "cannabanoid-like" response in a user's brain.
Authorities said the drugs have been sold in tobacco shops or in neighborhood convenience stores, or masked as incense.
Starting Tuesday drivers caught talking on a cellphone can be pulled over for not using a hands-free device and drivers and all passengers in a vehicle will be required to wear a seatbelt.
As of Tuesday, driving and talking on a cellphone without a hands-free device will be a "primary offense," meaning police can pull drivers over for that infraction alone, said Montgomery County Police Capt. Thomas Didone.
There are a few exceptions to the new law, he said. Drivers can have phones in their hand when starting or ending calls, turning phones on or off, or if drivers have to call police or rescue services.
Otherwise, "if the vehicle is in motion and a phone in your hand, you will get a citation," he said. Police will issue an $83 fine for the first offense, a $140 fine for the second offense, and a $160 fine for the third offense. Drivers will not receive points on their license unless they are also in a collision, he said.
Distracted driving — failing to pay full time and attention — was one of the main factors causing crashes in 2012, Didone said.
"We believe cellphone usage was a significant contributor to those factors," he said.
The other law being changed is one that now mandates all people in a vehicle must wear a seatbelt — including passengers in the back seat who are over the age of 16.
"Now everyone in the car must wear seatbelts," he said, adding that it is illegal for passengers to "double buckle," or put one seatbelt around two people. Before the change in the law, people who were over the age of 16 sitting in the back seat were not required to wear their seatbelts, even though passengers younger than 16 or who were sitting in the front seat were required to wear theirs.
"You're not safe in the back seat without a seatbelt," he said.
The law is a personal one for Didone, whose 15-year-old son, Ryan, died in a car accident in Damascus in 2008.
Ryan wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Didone said. "That's why I advocated the law," he said, adding that states with blanket seatbelt laws tend to have compliance rates that are 20% higher than states that don't have such laws.
"This law now gives officers the tools they need to take some action to save lives," he said.
The offense will be a "secondary enforcement" violation, meaning it cannot alone be the reason officers pull over a car.
It carries a fine of $83, he said.

Drug interactions overview
Whenever two or more drugs are being taken, there is a chance that there will be an interaction among the drugs. The interaction may increase or decrease the effectiveness of the drugs or their side effects. The likelihood of drug interactions increases as the number of drugs being taken increases. Therefore, people who take many drugs are at the greatest risk for interactions. Drug interactions contribute to the cost of healthcare because of the costs of medical care that are required to treat problems caused by changes in effectiveness or side effects. Interactions also can lead to psychological suffering. This review discusses the issue of drug interactions and several ways to avoid them.
What are drug interactions?
A drug interaction can be defined as an interaction between a drug and another substance that prevents the drug from performing as expected. This definition applies to interactions of drugs with other drugs (drug-drug interactions), as well as drugs with food (drug-food interactions) and other substances, such as supplements. Drugs also may interact with laboratory tests, changing the proper results of the laboratory test.

BBD Contributor: Dan Hope
No inside knowledge of the Buffalo Bills' draft strategy is needed to know that the Bills should be targeting drafting a quarterback in the early rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft.
After releasing Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had been the team's starter since 2009, the Bills signed Kevin Kolb earlier this offseason. But although general manager Buddy Nix called Kolb a "strong candidate in the competition for the starting quarterback position," (per the Bills' official team Twitter account) the door remains wide open for a rookie quarterback to compete for and win the starting quarterback job. Kolb's two-year contract only has a base value of no more than $6.1 million, with the rest of his possible $13 million coming in incentives, according to Pro Football Talk.
Kolb failed to prove himself as a viable long-term starter in two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, and considering the Bills can pay him half as much to be a backup than if he starts, the Bills certainly will not be held back by signing Kolb. The Bills' other established veteran quarterback, Tarvaris Jackson, has not had any consistent success as an NFL starting quarterback either.
The question isn't whether the Bills will draft a quarterback, but rather when they will. In a draft class that contains no star quarterback prospects, will the Bills take a chance on the best available quarterback at the No. 8 overall pick, or will the Bills wait for better value?
Let's take a look at five possible quarterback strategies for the Buffalo Bills, as well as which quarterbacks could be highest on the Bills' radar.
1. Draft the best-available quarterback at the No. 8 overall pick
Most Likely Choices: Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Ryan Nassib
Although there is not one quarterback in the 2013 NFL draft class truly worth a top-10 pick, the likelihood of the Bills using the No. 8 overall selection on a signal-caller remains very high.
Quarterbacks are routinely overdrafted due to their positional importance, and the Bills need a quarterback as badly as any team in the NFL. Drafting a quarterback in the top 10 would fill the Bills' biggest need right away, and allow the team to build up their roster through talent value through the rest of the draft.
Whether the Bills draft their quarterback at No. 8 will depend upon whether the Bills view any of the quarterbacks available as a player they cannot miss out. If the Bills consider one of the available quarterbacks to be a much better franchise option than the other quarterbacks they could select, they should draft their guy at No. 8 so as not to miss out on the opportunity to select him later.
This decision could be shaped by which quarterbacks, if any, are selected in the top seven picks. If West Virginia's Geno Smith, who has the most physical talent and upside of any quarterback in the draft class and is expected by most to be the first quarterback drafted, falls to the No. 8 overall selection, he could very well be the selection in Buffalo.
It is also very plausible, however, that the Bills could opt for another signal-caller even if Smith is available. Smith's last experience in cold-weather football at the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl was an absolute disaster, which could be a warning given that he would have similar conditions at points playing in Buffalo. He also needs to establish a pocket presence and becoming better at read switching.
If Smith is off the board or the Bills decided to pass upon him, two other quarterbacks who could be in play are USC's Matt Barkley and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib. Barkley does not have great arm strength and athletic ability, but he is the most polished and accurate pocket passer of any quarterback in the draft class. Nassib, who faced off against Smith in that Pinstripe Bowl, would be a reach at the No. 8 overall pick, but has a big arm, good footwork and athletic ability. Nassib has an obvious connection to the Buffalo Bills as he played for new head coach Doug Marrone for the past four years at Syracuse, and may be the best bet as a cold-weather quarterback for Buffalo.
If the Bills believe strongly enough in any one of those quarterbacks being worth a top-10 pick, chances are good that no other prospect falling will change their mind about who to select. If not, the Bills will likely wait to find better value.
2. Trade down from No. 8 overall, draft a quarterback later in Round 1
Most Likely Choices: Barkley, Nassib, E.J. Manuel
Given that there are a number of quarterbacks who could very well end up in Round 1, but no quarterbacks who stand out as sure-fire top-10 picks, a smart move for the Bills could be to trade down from the No. 8 overall pick, but still target a quarterback with their first-round pick.
If the Bills are targeting Smith, No. 8 overall would likely be their only choice to select him, as he projects to be a likely target of the New York Jets if available at the No. 9 or No. 13 overall selection. If there is a team enticed to trade up, however, the Bills could likely trade down into the middle of Round 1 and still have a good shot at selecting Barkley, Nassib or Florida State's E.J. Manuel.
Drafting a quarterback at any point in Round 1 makes for a major investment and immediate starting expectations, but trading down and getting additional selections before drafting a quarterback would lessen the pressure and risk of that selection somewhat. If the Bills believe strongly in being able to select Barkley, Nassib or Manuel, trading down would be a good way to get better value on one of those signal-callers, but still be in good position to get the quarterback they covet.
3. Draft another player at No. 8, trade back up into Round 1
Most Likely Choices: Nassib, Manuel, Barkley
There is no clear-cut choice for the Buffalo Bills at the No. 8 overall pick if they wait on drafting a quarterback, but there are plenty of solid options. If Jordan is off the board, other potential choices include LSU pass-rusher/outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo, North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper and Alabama guard Chance Warmack.
Drafting a first-round quarterback could still be a possibility, however, even if the Bills draft another player at No. 8. With a number of teams drafting early in Round 2 potentially targeting quarterbacks with their picks (Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets), the Bills could make a move up ahead from the No. 41 overall selection into the late picks of Round 1 to secure their chance to draft one of the top quarterbacks.
This would be a very good plan for the Bills if Marrone plans to bring Nassib with him to the next level. While Nassib is unlikely to be drafted by another team in the early picks of the draft, he looks like a very likely early Round 2 selection.
Barkley and Manuel would also be good targets with this potential strategy. Both quarterbacks have a shot to be among the draft's early picks, but could also end up in Round 2. The Bills would have a good shot of being able to draft one of them in the late first round, but may not have a shot at either of them at No. 41.
4. Select quarterback with No. 41 overall selection
Most Likely Choices: Nassib, Manuel, Tyler Wilson
The Buffalo Bills could get much better value on a quarterback by waiting until their second-round selection, No. 41 overall. If the board falls their way, the Bills could end up getting a quarterback at No. 41 who is just as good as what they could have gotten at No. 8 — but by waiting, they also run the risk of missing out on all the draft's top quarterback prospects.
Of the four quarterbacks currently looked at as potential first-round selections, Nassib and Manuel are the most likely to still be available at No. 41 overall. Barkley and Smith are the head of the quarterback class, but while Nassib and Manuel are rising prospects who could go as high or even above Barkley and/or Smith, they belong more rightfully as second-round selections.
Another quarterback who should also be strongly in consideration at No. 41 overall is Arkansas' Tyler Wilson. Wilson, in my opinion, belongs to be in the conversation with Barkley and Smith as the draft class' top quarterback, but it appears more likely he will be the fifth quarterback drafted, as the other four have received considerably more buzz in recent weeks. That said, he is a skilled pocket passer with good size and a strong arm, and he could very well be the franchise quarterback that the Bills need while chances are good he will still be available at No. 41.
If the Bills can get a potential franchise quarterback they want without using their top draft pick and without having to move up from No. 41 overall, that looks to be their best-case scenario.
5. Bring in quarterback competition in Round 3
Most Likely Choices: Tyler Bray, Mike Glennon, Landry Jones, Matt Scott
Last year, the Seattle Seahawks had Tarvaris Jackson and a mid-level free agent quarterback signing (Matt Flynn) when they used their third-round pick to select Russell Wilson, bringing him into a three-way competition which Wilson ultimately won and which ended up working out better than anyone could have expected in Wilson's stellar rookie season.
While it is unlikely that the Bills will find a player who rises to stardom as a rookie by waiting to draft a quarterback in Round 3, they could very well replicate the competitive stage of what happened in Seattle by drafting a third-round quarterback — which would not come with nearly the immediate pressure to play of a quarterback selected in the first two rounds — to compete with Kolb and Jackson.
If Tyler Wilson were to fall to the Bills' third-round pick, that would be hitting the jackpot in terms of filling the quarterback need with value in the 2013 NFL draft. More realistic options at No. 71 overall, however, include Tennessee's Tyler Bray, North Carolina State's Mike Glennon, Oklahoma's Landry Jones and Arizona's Matt Scott, all of whom have visited with the Bills according to the team's official website.
Among those quarterbacks, the best choice would be Bray, who has the highest upside among them with a strong arm, great size and the ability to make any throw on the field if he can become a more accurate passer and polished decision-maker. Glennon is a similar high-upside prospect, though he does not have as much arm talent and is even more mistake-prone, while Jones and Scott may not be starting quarterbacks but could be good additions into the rotation.

Revelatory new Sichuan restaurant--Legend on 7th Avenue at 15th
So what used to be a fusion Vietnamese restaurant, Safran, and seems also to have gone by the name of Jasmine (still the name on the awning), is now an astonishingly good SIchuan restaurant apparently called Legend (the name on the menu), which still serves a full Vietnamese menu and also has a full bar with a bigtime happy hour scene going...so you can get an inexpensive mojito with your dinner, if you like...
I'm a huge fan of Grand Sichuan International on lower 7th, also of Lan Sheng and Szechuan Gourmet, but I have to say there are some dishes at Legend that I have never tried before, and the kitchen in general seems very very promising. If you go, you might want to try dishes from the "New Style Sichuan Food" section of the enormous menu (there is also a "Traditional Sichuan Food" section, a "Pickled Peppers" section, a "Griddled" section, a "Cool Pot" section...I'm serious, this is a large and very intriguing menu, worthy of devoted study!)
So far, for appetizers, I have liked the Shrimp Wonton in Red Sesame Oil, a dumpling treatment I had never had before, the cold dish of Bean Curd Mixed w/ Chopped Green Onion, and I am looking forward to trying the Tears in Eyes (Very Spicy Mung Bean Noodle). Also fascinating were the Sour and Hot Sweet Potato Noodles (made of sweet potato starch perhaps?)
For main courses, I am looking for help and guidance in exploring this menu, but I would strongly recommend the Dry Spicy Diced Chicken w/Ginger and Peanut; this is an enormous plate of what may be one of the absolute BEST fried chicken dishes in the city of New York, and, from the "Casseroles" section of the menu, the Braised Eggplant and Diced Fish w/Black Bean Sauce, a dish I have never had elsewhere, spicy and fascinating, and, from "Traditional Sichuan Food," the Double Cooked Fresh Bacon w/Spicy Bean Sauce, and the Sichuan Spicy Noodle w/Minced Pork, both state of the art renditions. Also Sliced Pork with Garlic Stems: one member of our party declares this one to be his favorite. . .

I was a big fan of Chef Laura, formerly of Monsoon and then Safran. I wonder where she is these days. Regardless, Legend sounds great. Will give this a try. Somehow I can't locate a listing of this place anywhere.
re: nativeNYer
Maybe it's the multiple names--and maybe I should have specified in my post, given the issue with all the names--I am looking at a take-out menu, recent, up-to-date, with all those dishes on it, and the name is Legend Bar & Restaurant, the address is 88 7th Avenue, between 15th and 16th, and the telephone number is 212-929-1778...BUT, as I said, the name on the awning is still Jasmine, and you can find it under that name (Jasmine FKA Safran--same address, same phone number) with online reviews--but those still seem to be from the old menu. You can also find Safran (same address, etc) online--but only one review I saw anywhere of the new menu--and that was under the new name. So maybe someone more skilled with language or Szechuan chef geneology can help me understand how the place has evolved--but in the meantime, all I can say is, when the chicken and the ginger are hitting the wok, you want to be there!
re: Pearlie
Thanks, Pearlie, great post!
re: nativeNYer
Another fan of Chef Laura Lam - too bad Monsoon closed, it was one of our favorite restaurants in UWS. We did follow her to Safran but have not been recently - the OP does mention Vietnamese dishes on the menu, perhaps she's still there? I was disappointed at the change but it seems like the new place is worth a try. Thanks for the post!
re: uwsister
I suspect she's moved on. Jasmine's Web site is still up at http://www.jasmine-88.com (warning to office workers: it comes with cheery music) and it refers to "new chef Fu Wang." A two-week-old Yelp page for Legend mentions the Sichuan news. There's also a Seamless Web page under the name Legend, but it's otherwise out of date; its menu doesn't include the Sichuan dishes, and its photos and "About Us" section still refer to Safran.
re: squid kun
That makes sense--though I do have to say that I see people in there eating Vietnamese food and lunch specials with clear enjoyment, and when we asked, they said that the Vietnamese chef was still there, but there was a Szechuanese chef now as well--but it wasn't very clear.
re: squid kun
how did you find the yelp page? can you post the link. this is all i see:
i found the legend seamless link which refers to chef laura but, as you stated, the specifics relate to jasmine/safran despite the legend title. one great mystery.
pearlie, your post was crystal clear and i understood what you meant when you stated legend was the name on the menu. with all the recent name changes, it was not surprising to learn they have not yet changed the awning.
safran was good when it first opened. after i expressed my sadness about monsoon (i am still in mourning over monsoon) on this board, one wonderful CHer told me the scoop on laura so i rushed right over. when i told them i was a monsoon customer, laura came upstairs with a big smile on her face and sat at our table to chat. i've seen her do this with many other customers.
never been to jasmine and something tells me laura wasn't the chef there. i'm looking forward to trying legend. laura or not, legend sounds great. http://www.safran88.com/our-chef.php
re: nativeNYer
Join me in mourning for Monsoon - every time I walk by the old site (still empty, WTH?) I feel sad! We also mentioned Monsoon when we visited Safran for the first time and she came up to greet and check on us.
I think the change to Jasmine was fairly recent - perhaps they finally settled as Legend.
re: uwsister
I know! it's still empty. i was gonna state that above but i stopped myself. i curse the landlord every time i walk by. i remember telling laura that it was still empty and begging her to consider re-opening on the UWS. i was bummed when their columbia location closed on broadway nearly 10 years ago. here's the menu so you can cry: http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/...
yes, the change to jasmine occurred within the year, perhaps within the past 4 months.
re: nativeNYer
Since this thread came up again and it's been a while - any trace of chef Laura Lam?
re: uwsister
oh thank you for asking that question, uwsister!!! i was the lunatic frantically attempting to search Chef Laura down for years until someone came through for me right here on CH when they hooked me up with safran. i was so happy to see laua that we nearly hugged. she's now MIA again. :(
re: nativeNYer
Maybe someone will come through again! I regret not visiting Safran as often as I should have while Chef Lam was there :(
re: uwsister
I agree but Safran never rose to the same heights as Monsoon. I am still in mourning with cravings. Chef Laura is such a sweetheart with a huge talent. ;(
re: nativeNYer
Yeah, that is very true that Monsoon was better than Safran. My husband and I both miss it dearly. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
re: squid kun
nevermind, squid kun. i found the yelp listing: http://www.yelp.com/biz/jasmine-manha...
That Dry Spicy Diced Chicken w/Ginger and Peanut has replaced the Gui Zhou chicken at Grand Sichuan on 34th st as my favorite Chinese chicken dish in New York. And the Sliced Pork with Garlic Stems is absolutely amazing. The pork is cooked like crispy bacon and the garlic stems seemed to be pickled somehow. The Lo Mein with Ginger and Scallion also had more ginger and scallion in it than any rendition I have had before. The Tears in Eyes had about two solid inches of chili pepper heaped onto mung bean noodles swimming in chili oil. It's not as well balanced as their other Sichuan appetizers, but it's a definite contender for people who really crave some burn. Finally, the Ma Po Tofu was just as I like it: medium sized chunks of tofu, finely ground pork, lots of Sichuan peppercorn, and a sauce that manages to be both oily and light at the same time. None of this nonsense with cornstarch and greenpeas.
The happy hour Manhattans are also dangerously tasty.
On the downside, the Griddled Cooked Duck managed to be less than the sum of it's somewhat elaborate components. A fancy chafing dish does not make up for too many random veggies and a bland sauce.
I think that Legend will definitely be one of my top choices for Sichuan food once I learn a little more about which of their unique dishes are delicious and which are disappointing.
re: bworm42
Thanks, bworm42. I am heading over there tonight.
re: nativeNYer
this is potentially exciting. thanks!
re: bworm42
What is their happy hour special? Legend was already on my list of places to visit, but a good happy hour might speed up my time frame.
re: JungMann
I believe the happy hour lasts from 4-9, but it might start even earlier. It includes 2 for 1 beers (American, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai options), and about a dozen different 5 dollar cocktails. I don't remember all the cocktails, but there were a few kinds of flavored "martini," a very large and pleasant mojito, and an extremely drinkable manhattan. With those hours it's closer to a dinner deal than a happy hour. And I was surprised by how well bourbon goes with spicy food.
I haven't yet tried the Sichuan dishes since I have to stay off spicy food for a few weeks. But I have noticed a little bit of slippage with the Vietnamese side of the menu. When it was Safran and Jasmine, the pho broth was good. It isn't, anymore. On the upside, the bo luc lac and lemongrass chicken are still good. Drinks are really cheap during their long happy hour, but make sure you order one that has enough flavors added to cover up the low quality alcohols they use to mix.
Special thanks to Pearlie! I tried Legend tonight and liked it a lot. The place looks nearly identical to Safran but the menu is completely different, obviously with the focus on Sichuan food. I did not bother with the Vietnamese menu but, instead, tried the Spicy Sichuan Noodle (toss off between that and the Mung Bean Noodle) and the Chicken with Ginger and Peanut. Lots of great items are listed on the Sichuan menu.
Everyone is very, very nice. More noise at the bar than usual (although less than 5 patrons were seated there). Seemed to be a mid-twenties crowd but somehow different from the slightly older, more professional group that typically hung out there before. There were only three other tables taken when I walked in but it was after 9:30pm.
As soon as they served the noodle dish, I noticed a particular scent that I usually find unappealing. Not sure how to explain this scent/taste but it tasted/smelled like there was too much vinegar in the noodles. I'm sure it's not vinegar but perhaps someone can identify the flavor. The noodles were wonderfully firm and they looked beautiful but the taste, for me, was not as appealing as I had hoped. This could very well be me as I seem to be hesitant about some of the Sichuan flavors. I look forward to hearing from others who have tried this dish. Are the flavors balanced as they should be or is there an overriding flavor that someone can identify?
The chicken with ginger and peanut is served in a huge plate, beautifully presented, piping hot and very tasty. When I asked for hot oil, they were very excited to bring some over to me. The accompanying white rice serving is very small but this is one dish that does not seem to need the rice. Good quality chicken, nice crunch to the breading and the peanuts were actually grilled and flavorful. Not as spicy as I would have liked (despite my efforts to appease any concerns upon placing my ordering) but the dish was great and definitely something that I'd order again.
Towards the end of the meal, a really nice guy (who appeared to be the manager) approached me to ask how everything was. He was the same person who brought me the oil. I asked him about the flavor differences in the hot oil which I have grown to love,particularly the hot oil served in the Indian-Chinese restaurants. I held back on asking him about Chef Laura as I was really there to sample their menu and not to acquire information from them.
Prices were extremely reasonable, menu is extensive (Sichuan apps and entrees along with the usual Chinese selections and a separate Vietnamese menu). This place seems like a great kept secret but they really need to spread the word or else they will cease to exist pretty quickly unless the bar keeps them going. Wonder if they will change the awning, not only to Legend but with an accompanying title of Sichaun food.
Thanks, Pearlie, for alerting us. Sorry if I don't sound super-enthused. I've just been on an extended Indian-Chinese fusion spell lately that no other cuisine seems to excite me. Wish more of these would spring up to match the rapidly increasing quantity of new Sichuan places. But Legend seems to rival Wu Liang Ye, Lan Sheng, Grand Sichuan, Szechuan Gourmet, Wa Jeal, all I which I've tried. Wu Liang Ye (48th bet. 5th and 6th) still remains my favorite - best dan dan noodles by far!!

re: nativeNYer
I agree with nativeNYer about the great service, much nicer than in any restaurant I've been in recently. The Sichuan and Chendu dishes we tried were authentic and harder to find in NYC. Sichuan dishes had real ma la flavor. Salting was off from dish to dish, though. Some dishes like the Beef Tendon with Spicy and Peppery Flavor were really salty and others like the Tears in Eyes (Very Spicy Mung Bean Noodle) were undersalted.
The Vietnamese foods on the menu are now terrible and I won't be going to this restaurant for it.
