  1. I don't hate Fieri. In fact DD&D is almost the only thing that's watchable on FN. Sure he's an over-the-top clown, but not unlikable. And the show isn't some contrived competition between line cooks with tattoos. For some reason Bobby Flay survives when the rest of his generation is gone. Not complaining; I can watch him too.
  2. That would be an unusual BR vent system with ductwork big enough to support a hood. Also don't forget that resistance to flow is a function of both the duct size and length. A long duct could easily cut hood efficiency. You might want an HVAC pro to do the math first.
  3. Triclosan is in EVERYTHING. Toothpaste, soap, mouthwash, sponges on and on. And there's minimal evidence that it accomplishes anything other than getting the word "antibacterial" on the label. FDA has given notice that they are reconsidering the use and GRAS status of the chemical.
  4. Check your downloads. Kerry is hiding there.
  5. Turkey breast is a whole new meat if done SV
  6. Any thoughts about a combi oven in this setting?

    Farmers' Markets 2015

    Whether farmed or fetched, they ain't out here closer to where they grow. Less of a market here of course. Where I live, the best produce is at the local Gigante market. Cheap, fresh and a nice selection of tropical stuff. And Asian stuff too.

    Farmers' Markets 2015

    Ironic that the best farmers markets are in the cities. Out here in the semi-country there are a few FMs here and there, but I've not seen one where a fiddlehead or a ramp can be found.

    Methode Rotuts

    oops I overestimated... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC1.A0.H0.Xglassware+distillation.TRS0&_nkw=glassware+distillation&_sacat=0

    Methode Rotuts

    One can cobble together a small scale still with lab glassware and an Anova.... I bet for under $100 if you have the anova.

    Dinner 2015 (Part 2)

    MM84321, how many servings are those plates?
  14. As far as I know AllClad is still made outside of Pittsburgh.
  15. Dan Barber can get a little preachy about local sourcing. Dan, its a pretty philosophy, but not a way to feed a big hungry city.
  16. Same price for me. On this one Amazon seems to have the lowest price. Perhaps another item would be revealing
  17. Only issue I can see is a very top-heavy set-up. I'd consider bracing the chimney with bricks...and maybe the grate too
  18. It's so much easier to eat well over there. Love your posts.

    Breakfast! 2015

    JD has funny bits in it sometimes. And its ground too fine for my taste. Spicing is OK. Can't get Jones near me. So I make batches of my own and freeze it.
  20. As mentioned eslewhere I have a small hotplate I put in my gas grill. On it, I roast foil wrapped dry sticks which smoke like crazy. Works well. temp in the chamber is around the ambient temp. Cost is about $10.
  21. Why not take a little bit and salt it...bake it up and see what you have?
