Ok fine. How do I put my few bucks in?

So have completely separate transgender sporting events.

This distance takes me 6 hours. Those people who want to get it over with in 2 are just lazy.

Merci

Right now I'm drinking Monkey Shoulder. It's a scotch running about $32 a bottle. It's a blend but a blend of three different single malts. Blended Scotch can contain up to 49% grain spirits and it's rare to have a blend made up of 100% malted whiskys. The three single malts are Glenfiddich, The Bal...

FC, thanks. I found my late wife's copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. You're right. 30 years ago, I thought it was fussy and time consuming. Now I see the value in it. A little bittersweet looking at it, though. I see the recipes she checked off, her notes, the pages she dog eared. There a...

I have a couple of shelves of cookbooks I've purchased over the years under the absurd assumption that simply owning the book will make me a better cook. It's time for me to buy one book that's heavy on technique and work my way through it. It looks like the newer version of Pepin's La Technique is ...

New Complete Techniques?

I just ordered another one of these sons of bitches. I must have two dozen of them. And I hardly ever use the ones I have, so why do I buy another one? I'm thinking it's a procrastination deal. Like, "I have to sharpen all my pencils before I start writing. Oh, and I better wash the sheets etc....

Guy promised to show his tax returns too.

Kaz, are you feeling OK? Maybe someone has your password. This doesn't sound like you.

I didn't think his opening Micheal Jackson riff was funny and so it started the show off on a bad note for me. It got better but lacked hilarity.

Schlegal, you're absolutely right. My new knives arrived the other day. What a pleasure to dice onions, chop carrots etc. I used to avoid cooking dinners that involved a lot of knife skills. Now I'm looking for recipes that require a knife work. As a guy who worked with subpar knives all his life, I...

Thanks, Schlegel, Actually, I have done a lot of research on kitchen knives (saw a lot of Youtube stuff from many "chefs," not to mention a few "blade-masters." Here's what I went with. Please let me know what you think. Wusthoff set (Chef's knife, 7 inch utility, paring and brea...

Chef Shlegal,
What knives do I need for kitchen work. And how do I keep them sharp ?

Yes. No bank was lending to DT. Too many bankruptcies. But Deutche did. Why? One unconfirmed report is that loan apps the bank may now nave to turn over will show that oligarchs close to Putin cosigned those loans. Note that this is a single unconfirmed report.

Oh sure, and I suppose these oligarchs are close to Putin and that's why our President has this inexplicable affection the man. Fake News! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Remember when every wannabe fitness guru labeled himself "coach?" Now, in the internet cooking world, every yahoo from the trailer park is "Chef" Tom or Rufus or "Chef" Clayton or Makena. Bogus Coach. Bogus Chef. It's a disgrace. A disgrace I tell you.

Andy once claimed he did a parachute jump at the North pole. When I challenged him on it, he provided certain details that convinced me that, yes, our friend Andy went skydiving at the North Pole. 'Atta Boy, Andy. And RIP.

I'm better now.

Fuck you all, the way I feel tonight.

They said, "In October 2018, my research partner and I decided to investigate the truth of this impression by using a mix of network mapping and linguistic analysis to see which prominent journalists who covered Antifa also were closely connected to leading Antifa figures on social media."...

Not that I wasn't impressed.

That's an excellent doco. 45 minutes, but if you're interested, worth your time.
