The holiday eating season officially began this past weekend with the in laws in town for "faux Christmas". I was on cooking duty and made beef wellington using a trusty old Tyler Florence recipe. Also made the sides in the recipe, though I did the potatoes a little differently. Everything...

This reminds me of a completely different idea I saw a while back that could be adapted to ABV: Basically put the ABV in a pepper / spice grinder and sprinkle it on your food when / as desired. Keep one in the kitchen for everyday cooking and have another mini grinder for travel. Some...

I'd go 190. Could probably go even higher but some SVs start to struggle above that.

I have the SousVide Supreme, if thats the unit you're talking about. I've had it for several years, before the Anova and the other cheaper, more portable units came out. I really like it - its durable, comes with its own vessel/lid and easy to leave it alone for hours without watching it...

Recognizing that I was the last post before you and you might want to get an opinion from someone different, let me wholeheartedly endorse using the sous vide. Couple comments to add to my post above: 1) You might want to use multiple bags for 2 oz just to spread things out. I try to use...

...not to mention the Ti models that come in different color combinations. Remember when we unlocked the green version? Surely they're just not getting mentioned because it's only the SS model that's causing all the problems.

Then Fumee sounds perfect. Captures the blend between styles perfectly imo. Can be as dressed up or dressed down as you like. The other makes it sound like a regular BBQ joint.

Not even close to a classic, but saw this vid of Ryan Adams covering Bryan Adams recently and it cracked me up. Not a bad cover - shows which one of them has more talent.

Great news. What's the concept / menu / price point going to be like?

This looks exciting. If these were designed with the same characteristically-german design philosophy as the Plenty, it should be very interesting. The Plenty is 100% about function and performance, not looks, and its a beast. I'm hypothetically torn on which I'd want. If the difference...

OK... back with more. I tend to like it when bands set the bar high with their cover choices.... or those who try something thats a little out of the box for them. First, Weezer covering Radiohead's Paranoid Android. You dont see this one covered everyday. Next, the Decemberists toured a...

Holy shit I am seeing this thread for the first time. Even beyond the quality of craftsmanship and design of this thing, I really admire the way you've started with the aesthetics of its use, emphasizing the ritual/social aspects. As others have said a truly gentleman's vape that brings some...

My two cents are that your observations are spot on but in the end the W9 devices are probably way ahead of everything else thats out there so you should go ahead and get an 8. I've got on the w9 bandwagon the last few months. I'm new to concentrates so only had tried the cheaper pens (e.g...

This is going to be controversial, but I nominate the Flaming Lips covering Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. I'm not saying its a better version, but its respectfully done and I love the earnestness, energy and psychedelic spirit they bring to it .... especially in this 2012 live...

I agree. I start in the mixer to bring everything together and hydrolyze the dough...about 4-5 mins. Then after a rest I take the dough out, break it into balls for each pizza, then hand-knead each ball separately until they are smooth and stretchy. Then I do an overnight rise in the fridge...

Crashing the MB thread even though I don't own the machine. I've always wondered about dry vs wet decarb and this is the first time I've seen an explanation as to why it should be dry. The oft-quoted Skunk Pharm's page on decarb talks about how they do their decarb in the oil state after the...

Made pizza this weekend. I've been working on my pizza technique for quite some time and its a fun thing to make when people come over with kids. This time I upgraded my flour and it made a big difference in flavor. Used a 40/60 combination of KA 00 and this 00 flour from Wild Hive Farm in...

I like this method. Quick & dirty, yet effective.

I don't think my life has any particular meaning, but if I can be happy and enjoy myself without harming others then that's good enough for me.

I'm very interested to hear how the taste testing turns out, @pseudox. Keep us posted. I've tried ethanol tinctures a few times and have never been happy with the results. I've gone down two paths: the highly concentrated version a la Master Wu and a less concentrated version for sipping...
