  1. My new rule. Good thinking Weinoo.

    Pork loin for tacos

    Other approach would be to do it sous vide , slice thin, and then just crisp up a few bits to keep the rest juicy.
  3. Having said all this...you have selected a worthy task. Most would be better off financially and nutritionally if they learned how to cook
  4. My sense is that fast food people don't understand cooking. They were brought -up eating fast food and doritos and nobody in the household had any idea of how to make scrambled eggs or mac and cheese or beanie-weenie. Their problem isn't convenience, it's education. These folk do not need a gadget they need experience. And this is a valuable engineering point...design cannot overcome ignorance.
  5. Just took the survey. Can't see how it could possibly help you with your task. good luck.

    Chicken Stock Safety

    The issue is storage. Neither SV nor boiling kill botulism spores. If you use immediately, or after a short period of refrigeration, the spores won't have time to grow. Long storage, even in the fridge, opens the possibility of spoilage. So freeze what you can't use immediately.
  7. I routinely make a braised red cabbage in apple juice that needs no other sweetener. Often I'll add allspice and a splash of cider vinegar. Great with pork and beef. I love those airplane bottles of wine for cooking. . The Woodbridge stuff is high enough quality and isn't expensive.
  8. The price of a Per Se meal defines the standard it wants to be held-to. Charge that much...expect scrutiny.
  9. Seems to me that the biggest question is where are you going to try to pull this off. The questions about a vintage car as a key element of your business are good ones. But biggest question is what city is able to make this profitable. Where can you find a coffee culture that can make this profitable? i think location is the prime concern.

    Dinner 2016 (Part 1)

    Weinoo, that bird looks lewd.
  11. Uggh.
  12. About 20" here. Poor puppy (who was just recently housebroken) won't poop in snow, because snow is for playing and eating. Its a frigging winter wonderland.
  13. That goes for peas and lima beans too
  14. We've got around 2 ft and its still coming down. An annoyance inland, but the people on the coast have real flooding problems, worse than Sandy was in NJ and DE. I have Knob Creek helping me through the trial.
  15. I'd love to see the menus you worked out. I'd bet smaller private schools like the one my kids went to would be interested in this approach.
  16. Padma needs to pack her smug attitude and go.
  17. 15" and snowing. But the plow guy came and the internet still works, so we have that going for us. Lunch was hard cider braised brats with wine braised kraut
  18. wine , rum, nuts you are good
  19. We finally got a generator that powers everything. Amazing effect on how I view storms. We went from 3 one to five day long outages a year to a total of 2 minutes a year. Makes country life better.
  20. Philadelphia prepares in it own way for the blizzard.
  21. In preparation, I laid-in some of the above and a good bit of sausage as well
  22. I looked at a traffic map the other night for DC. Must've been 100 accidents due to a light icy snow....
  23. A little farther North in DE the Acme Market looked fully stocked and wasn't any more crowded than usual.
  24. No salt food tastes er...hollow, to me. The standard tricks of adding acid or glutamates (which usually bring a little sodium) helps it, but it still isn't the same. And I'm not one to pour salt on food. I don't use very much when cooking.
  25. Interesting topic. For me, everything needs at least a little salt..even cookie dough.
