I have not seen Accent here on the West coast, but I do see bottles proudly labeled MSG. Perhaps I am not looking hard enough.

If you are comfortable with the 10 inch, go for it. Any delicate or small work would have to be done with a paring knife or other small knife anyway.

I witnessed the progression of a batch of the beef and can say that then only added ingredients are smoke and heat.
By corned chicken, do you mean brined?

Yeah you gotta watch out for the fat coma that some of that stuff may induce.

Would a Golden Spurtle work?
It is used for oatmeal, but might have an application here.

Beer with poptarts? Have you gone mad? The only correct pairing is a big
glass of Tang, freshly mixed of course!
Mmmmm astro-food.

I stopped at about 15 and got a library card.

About the meat bucket, I recall holding said bucket and saying something like "I wish I could live in here".
It smelled so damn good.

That flaming pop tart is no joke, a roomate of mine put one in the toaster and then went to the restroom for a minute. When he came back, there were 2 foot flames coming from the toaster. Stupid pop tart.

So does the "double yum" rating of the tagine w/ paneer mean it was twice as good as the "single yum" rating of the polenta?

Oh you!
Is the puff in that recipe allowed to puff much or is it poked with holes to control it? Sounds good, I need to hit the library.

I just picked up a big box of TenRen green teabags for use at work during the day.
The directions on the back of the bag say to pour boiling water over tea bag and let sit for 2-4 minutes as desired before removing the bag. While these directions are fine for those in zero G environments, I think I would have a big mess on the floor if I didn't use a mug.
Also, 2-4 min is an awful big window. At what point does the tea start to become bitter? I also remember hearing that green tea should be prepared with water just under boiling temp. What is the best way to brew green tea from a bag? I would buy loose and do it old school style, but I dont know if the management would dig a tea ceremony going on in the break room.
For what it's worth, each bag holds 2g of tea.
Thanks!

He he he, mamster you dog!
I was referring to the Friends episode with a stoned John Lovitz repeating 'Tartlets?!!' over and over.

Every single one of you should wait by your mailbox until the stuff comes. I was lucky enough to "happen" by der col's place this weekend when he was smoking. I was amazed at how the meat transformed from giant slab o' beef to the reason that god gave man incisors.
One of the best parts was eating fat.
The meat bucket ruled.

Do you find Aidell's sausage dry? Scott always complains whever I buy lowfat sausage, so I haven't tried it yet.
Your cornbread looks delicious! What recipe do you use?
Aidells is great sausage - not at all dry - a tad expensive though about $7.00 for 4 sausages...Here is their web site...
The cornbread was a mix from Trader Joes - and its one of the best cornbread mixes we've eaten and it was very inexpensive - like $1.69 for the box...
Check out costco for a good price on Aidell's sausage. I forget how much I paid, but it was for a large pack with about 10 sausages in it. I dont recall it being expensive either.

Went out last night, but I cooked up some food for lunch the next couple days.
Made some garlic and rosemary infused oil and put that with some chicken breast pieces with some brown rice and water in a slow cooker to cook while we went to dinner. Turned out pretty nice.

Katie and I had the $25 dinner at Flying Fish last night. I was a little disapointed that the Smoked Albacore was not on the menu anymore, it had changed to smoked shrimp spring rolls that the waiter was not too excited about.
Apps: I had the Lobster Bisque and Katie had the Asian pear salad with 5 spice walnuts. The Lobster Bisque was very nice, it was somewhat spicy. It could have used a few more chunks of lobster though. I think there were 2 very small ones. Katie's salad was nicely prepared and the 5 spice walnuts were tasty.
Mains: I had the Wild Sockeye with roasted tomatoes and purple mashed potatoes while Katie had the Mahi Mahi with ginger butter sauce. My dish was a generous piece of sockeye that was cooked nicely. The fish itself was excelent, but the rest of the dish was only ok. The fish felt detached from the rest of the plate and did not work as a whole...good thing the fish was top notch.
Katie's Mahi Mahi was the clear winner, again the fish was well prepared (they must have a great grill man back there) and tied well with the rest of the dish. Dessert: I had the Warm Grappa Brownie and Katie had the Coconut Torte. The Brownie was pretty much a molten chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, but was pretty tasty. I could not detect much grappa flavor and had to guess as to where it was in the dish. The ice cream was sub par and watery tasting. The brownie itself was very nice and the perfect doneness. Katie's torte was great. It had a rich full coconut flavor and a great moist texture. One of the better coconut desserts I have had. Good show.
Overall, we had a lovely time and I would go back to flying fish to order off the menu.

I had an amazing scallop with roe at Harvest Vine here in Seattle, it was grilled like described above, but with foie gras drippings on it. Oh man.
Another question: why are dried scallops so expensive? I have never had them, but intend to soon.

Maybe it was a typo for orgasmic doughnut.

So are new sauces confirmed? Katie is a fan of honey mustard.

Are the short ribs tender enough to eat with that little cooking? if so, cool.
