I moved to San Jose in August and slept through the earthquake yesterday. It was pretty minor.

Not that the posted pork shoulder looks good, but the smoke ring won't form in an electric smoker. It's a byproduct of combustion in a charcoal smoker.

GrAviTy84 posted:I'm pretty sure that there is still combustion resulting in smoke in an electric smoker. But not as much. If you google "smoke ring electric smoker" plenty of people get nice bark but no smoke ring.

The Volcano Chicken IS MY CUP OF TEA. Those breast were so good and tender, so good in my mouth with an excellent kick of spice with it. Its grilled and comes with some bomb rear end mashed potatoes. I would recommend this item to any one who comes and visits this place.

The symptoms and sensitivity is different for everyone. I don't doubt that a lot of morons are going gluten free for another fad diet but people are actually severely allergic to it.

I like reading TripAdvisor reviews of nice restaurants.quote:On asking for a glass of wine on arrival, the waiter begin to verbally list the wines by the glass, I then asked for a wine menu but the waiter would not provide one, and instead re-listed the 3-4 white wines on offer. Assuming this was all that was available, I asked for the chardonnay, and had 2 glasses over the course of the meal. It was not until we recieved the bill that we realised we had been charged $50

NosmoKing posted:Come on, $25 is a bit spendy for a glass of wine. I know some bottles would totally command that sort of price or more, but I'd at least like a rough idea of what I'm spending when I'm out. . The restaurant is Dune, which is located at Atlantis. $25 for a glass of wine isn't out of line with the price of everything there.

I'd feel like garbage if people gave me wedding gifts and I served them catered wedding food and no booze. If you can't afford a top shelf open bar no biggie, I went to plenty of nice weddings where it was a pig roast and a keg of beer. That works. No booze? Only a cash bar? That's awful.

I think the basics of a successful wedding are to consider that you'll have guests. Though the day is about you nobody wants to sit through two hours of video about both of you growing up. People want to support you but mostly they want to dance and drink and be merry.

If you have a puddle machine and one of those molecular gastronomy starter kits you can make pretty much everything in the book, plus if you own the original set the At Home book references back to it for a lot of stuff which is cool.
