Advice & Companionship for Living in Style Along the Path to an Increasingly Uncertain Future Food & Wine Survival in Style Rants Your grumpy old mansplainer, DannyM, is here answering vexing questions and offering more advice than you ever thought you would need. Is he highly knowledgeable or just plain opinionated? (Yes.) And he’s a walking set of contradictions— a sommelier-turned-truck driver with a knack for solving puzzles and a love of language; an ardent anti-elitist who equally appreciates roadside barbecue and classic French cuisine. He is (somehow) a skeptical positive thinker who doesn’t automatically accept the official explanation of anything. Instead, he strives to examine every important issue from multiple perspectives and then arrive at his own conclusions. A TABLE serves many different functions. Along with dining, we use a table for such activities as writing letters, playing ping-pong and billiards, negotiating international treaties, conducting business meetings, and contesting the world chess championship. DANNY’S TABLE is a home for essays about a broad range of topics united in the purpose of making life in these increasingly challenging times more livable, more enjoyable, and more interesting.

About the Author Danny M. It was the fine wine business that got me started as a writer. How else to communicate the flavor of wine to others? We can record or transcribe music for future enjoyment years or even centuries hence; we can photograph our children at age five and film their various milestones for posterity, and we can encode chemical reactions for replication upon demand. But when it comes to memorializing and communicating how, say, the legendary 1945 Château Margaux has tasted at various stages of its development, all we have is language. I found this a wonderful realization, because I have long been a lover of words (logophile or lexophile?) and, according to my favorite English teacher ever, I'm blessed with “an ear for idiom.” Two decades ago I began writing a monthly wine column for a regional lifestyle magazine (i.e., a high-end shopping flyer full of antique store ads.) I found that the frilly adjectives flowed easily as I described this wine or that… especially after refilling my goblet for second and third opinions. My love of writing steadily grew as I honed my craft, and with some self-directed study I branched into other topics and genres. I am now sitting on an unsold screenplay that was a runner-up in a Hollywood contest, an unpublished novel that weighs about three pounds, and a self-published memoir of my battle with cancer that coincided with my courtship/marriage/honeymoon with Andrea, the subject of my fondest high school longings. ​ Because writers differ from pizzas in that the latter can actually feed a family of four, I have always relied on menial albeit decent-paying jobs for survival, and I presently toil as a truck driver. But I refuse to let gainful employment dissuade me from writing because the words and ideas keep flowing. I still have stories to tell, advice to offer, and things to say.

The Cayuga Lounge Cookbook The Cayuga Lounge is where it's always 1971, but... 50-Year-Old Recipes?? Yes… because our gastronomical tastes naturally evolve, but true greatness outlives arbitrary and fleeting fashion. We’ve found that many of the classic dishes of yesteryear can be updated to modern sensibilities with just a few tweaks, such as eliminating flour and using superior ingredients that were unavailable nine Presidencies ago. Table of Contents French Onion Soup Onion Jam Chicken Alfredo "Bouillabaisse Sauce" Vongole Cassini Gazpacho Coquilles St. Jacques Trout with Almonds Autumn Menu, Part 1 Autumn Menu, Part 2 Autumn Menu, Part 3 Butternut Squash & Apple Soup Nantucket Chowder NANTUCKET CHOWDER Cutesy names, whether for boats (i.e., “Pier Pressure”) or recipes (“The Big Chili”), are often annoying. And yet sometimes they’re dead-on. BUTTERNUT SQUASH & APPLE SOUP Few things this side of Pumpkin Spice Shampoo betoken autumn like Butternut Squash & Apple Soup. But please don’t call it “Autumn Bisque.” CHEF ASTOR'S AUTUMN MENU, PART THREE The twist-rich third and final installment of DannyM.’s tale about Chef Astor and his 1971 Autumn Dinner Menu at the Cayuga Lounge. CHEF ASTOR’S AUTUMN MENU- Part Two In early September of 1971, Chef Astor continued working on his new Autumn Menu… adding new dishes and removing or updating old ones. CHEF ASTOR’S AUTUMN MENU, Part One In August of 1971, Chef Astor worked diligently on his new Autumn Menu– the culmination of all his experience, his Culinary Magnum Opus. TROUT WITH ALMONDS Whatever we call it, boneless rainbow trout filets and almonds make a really great combination. 1 2 3

The Cayuga Lounge Where it's always 1971! Cocktails -- Dinner -- Live Music The CAYUGA LOUNGE is a legendary Finger Lakes restaurant… so legendary, in fact, that it exists only in cyberspace, born as a work of fiction within a work of fiction (the mini-screenplay within “THE CA-LO SIGN .”) Every great restaurant– real or imagined, as it were– has a theme, a guiding set of principles that define its menu, energize its kitchen, and express themselves on every plate. The CAYUGA LOUNGE operates under a simple motto– “Eating Well is LIVING Well.” The Cayuga Lounge Cookbook Like music and clothes, popular dishes eventually go out of style… often for reasons unrelated to quality. In many cases, this urge for constant renewal leaves us with a gold mine of forgotten dishes that just need a little dusting off and updating. THE CAYUGA LOUNGE COOKBOOK celebrates the creativity and brilliance of a more innocent era, providing recipes for soothing comfort food just when we need it more than ever.
