Well, as I said before I'd planned a nine-month overview, but if you're happy to wait until '10 I think the extra three months would give me some elbow room.
Wine with lobster roll & steamed lobster?

American lobster is not an "insipid bug," and (this is just me, I guess) I dislike lobster rolls specifically because they mask its wonderful flavor.
But you know, you've got good company here: Alain Ducasse didn't think much of the lobster either. 'course, it turned out he hadn't the foggiest idea how to cook it properly, but still...

Cepas Vellas might well do the trick. Nothing wrong with GC Chablis, either.
My problem with lobster is not insipidity, but sometimes a coarseness of flavor. I would put Chesapeake blue crabs up against anything in that clan, if there are any that haven't been poisoned by runoff from pigs and poultry.

My guess: it's been deemed counterrevolutionary propaganda.

You need to preface the URL in your img src with "http://winedisorder.com" Right now it's searching the local directory for a /library subdirectory.

Hmmmm, that doesn't seem to have done it.
Maybe the ampersand in the filename? I don't know if the software tries to "fix" certain characters or not, but this can sometimes be a problem if it does. You might try uploading again with a different filename, but if not this is a job for the Politburo. Who are, no doubt, busily coding a preview function...
Simpler explanation: missing underscore. The filename you used doesn't exist. Weirdly, though, even the correct filename fails to appear with img src. It'll take a better HTML guru than I to solve that one.

Ooh, did you say a Preview Function?
That would be way cool, and would bring the software resoundingly into the 90s!

The link that worked on the previous page had "...014.jpg"; you've got "...011.jpg" in the link you used.
Though that is not enough to fix things. Curiouser and curiouser...
And sorry to have conducted tests here in public. I, too, vote for upgrading to '90's software.

Aha - replace the ampersand with & - this will be read as an ampersand character in the URL, but will also display as an ampersand character in the comment window. Thus the link won't work in quoted text (as with Joe's original link, which doesn't work in the quoted version a few posts later).

So what pairs with bugs? I've been offered an omelet with ant eggs in Thailand, and roasted caterpillars by a friend who was working in an African country. I'd like to know what to haul out of the cellar if something like this happens again.

It's a different image. Change the number in your browser window and you'll see...

OK, this should show it. Of course, with a preview function, I would have been able to check it and just to have said, "Oh, yeah."
