therattle posted:It also presumes that Wiggles was once au fait with what was fashionable. Wiggles is the proto-hipster, they flock to his land, and bear him offerings lumberjack shirts, and burn neck-beard trimmings upon his altar. Wiggles teaches his disciples with a wrench in one hand, and the femur from a self-raised pig in the other. He has 5 disciples, because 12 has been done before! Wiggles is the epitome of cool, before cool was invented! Sing his praises and burn your italian calf skin shoes on the bonfire!

Those're the snap crotch shirts for babies, as opposed to footed sleepers. I'd also dig a Kigu, they look comfy. A friend of mine has a custom made Bubble Dragon one that's kinda cute .

I hope so, but it clearly says burnt(brent) pepper. To me, burnt is burnt.

I got a pasta machine for Christmas, tonight I made paglia e fieno. It was even better than I'd guessed. Watching your kid eat pasta you yoursef have made from scratch was a much stronger emotional thing than I'd expected

A question for the more experienced cooks in here - I have a thought that I am gradually reverting to more and more simple pleasures within food. Reverting more and more to the simpleness of the provencal quisine, or to simple things executed really well - moving further and further away from the elaborateness of the modern french quisine, or fusion stuff etc.. I may be a food hipster? Should I worry? Am I alone in this?

I have started saying stuff like "overprepared" and "masqued" and "trying too hard instead of letting the ingredients take center stage, what the gently caress does he think he is? This is just masturbating on a plate, leaving the product of your self-love for the customers to eat, instead of doing something decent... Waiter take this back and please tell the cook that his smegma got in the way of the dish"... I am deeply worried!

Happy Hat posted:Should I worry? Naaah. It's more like learning to appreciate good ingredients and proceeding to handle them with more respect. No matter how good your duck is, there's still cooking that needs to be done. Braising, frying, cutting mirepoix. Being an experienced cook will let you make more out of that duck than an inexperienced one. A good ingredient that has been spoilt by inexperience shouldn't prevent a more competent chef from making something really good out of it. Another thing worth remembering is that in spite of Lore, limited and/or mediocre ingredients can be turned into something pretty loving good with a decent cook and a little magic. Top-notch stuff isn't strictly necessary always, the thing is that they can, with care, become something stellar. And likewise contrary to Lore, top-quality ingredients can become crud if handled by a dumbass.

I once found a vase that got stolen from us at an auction in New York, couldn't get it back in time due to international cooperation issues with the police.. Looking forward to the story!

That means that I messed up my sentence construction yet again, does it not? Vase was stolen. Followed several auction houses to see if it would show up. It showed up. In New York. International police cooperation prevented me from getting it back. Got money from insurance instead.

So after updating our stolen stuff reports at Sparks PD, I informed the good officer who's handling our case that I was going to meet with the guy who was trying to sell me back my own guitar. He was like "cool tell us the address and if it turns out to be your guitar then give us a call and we'll come in for backup or something". So I was like ok cool so my bass player and I took off to meet this guy in a parking lot of a custom flooring place in the industrial section of Sparks. After a while he shows up with his buddy and a big pit bull in this crappy Eclipse and starts trying to sell me this guitar, and offers to plug it in inside the little house that's next to the shop. So we go in and I start playing around with the thing etc. The guy goes on about how he bought it in LA years ago (which he didn't, since it's my guitar) and he got higher offers for it but he'd let it go for cheap to me and so on. So while I drag out the conversation my bass player fakes a phone call and excuses himself outside. A couple of minutes later just when I'm about to take the guitar in hand and tell the guy that he's a thief and that I'm done playing his crappy game, he gets this deer in the headlight look and his buddy (who was chilling on the couch) starts freaking out. I turn around and there's these three hulking cops in the doorway coming in and asking questions. After a bunch of talking and intimations that there would be jail time and a shot up pit bull and other nonsense we got the full story which was that these asshats had traded some dre phones for the guitar to some lady a while before after she had listed it on craigslist. I got my guitar back, we got a lead on the person who stole it, and a couple of kids got a good lesson in not telling tall tales while a bunch of cops and other people are standing around in your living room who already know all the details. Oh, and don't trust craigslist people. We're still missing a Jazzmaster, a MicroKorg, and a pedalboard, but we're further along to recovering those things.

Wiggles, don't you love in the middle of nowhere? What I'm getting at, shouldn't you know already who exactly the thief is, given you live out in the middle of nowhere? There can't be many contenders for the shadyasfuck award.

Ah, the inexorable march of Progress. When the question of whether or not something is possible outstrips the question of whether or not it is advisable. When every crazy whim meets not with derision and ridicule, but with a video camera.

It's freezing cold. Walking to Fairway when the wind is blasting your face off is Not Pleasant. I had my scarf wrapped around my face super tight, and gloves on, which I shoved into my pockets. Still too cold. Feels good to be home, in the heated apartment. Rice pot is doing his business. Good feelings all around. @Wiggles: That's some serious cops and robbers poo poo there. It almost sounds like a TV story.
