    Steak :)

    If there is one near you, a restaurant supply place will always have what you need for this. My local one has more than 50 different sized and shaped Lexan containers, all cheap.

    Steak :)

    An Anova is quite nice for the price - have never heard of problems with them. Just get a good, solid vessel for it. I personally use a Sous Vide brand digital water oven I got a really good deal on (only paid $200). I use the same blowtorch for heating my domeless nails, creme brulee, and...

    Today, got to go to a writers workshop with Steven Seagle, Joe Casey, and Joe Kelly of Man of Action. And got Kelly to sign my Deadpool 97 #1. Seriously cool dude. Duggan and Hawthorne were really cool too, but Kelly is an order of magnitude more famous, and from how he acts you couldn't...

    Sous Vide ABV?

    I strongly recommend a vacuum-sealer. Might as well, that way you can do the cooking too. i sometimes use a good sous-vide bag, but I also have a couple of rigid supposedly BPA-free containers designed for sous-vide immersion and vacuum curing. I like the Sous Vide brand water oven, but I...

    Got one of my copies of Death of Deapool signed by Duggan and Hawthorne at awesomecon today. Hopefully getting Deadpool vol 1 #1 signed by Joe Kelly tomorrow.

    Not officially comic-book related, the full Kung Fury film is now available on youtube - I say not OFFICIALLY comic book, because the Marvel references are so huge I am surprised Marvel let this happen. They own 'Fury' in relation to any character name or non-realistic action film; the theme...

    OK, this is an odd one. Word is Tilda Swinton may be playing The Ancient One in Doctor Strange. I'm a fan of hers, but that is a male character. It isn't like there aren't a whole slew of strong, funky female characters in the Dr. Strange part of the Marvel U, so it's an odd choice. But...

    Last thing today- the new barbecue sauce- smoked tamarind, smoked heirloom tomatoes, garlic, vidalia onion, ginger, mustard seed, cumin, arugala, black pepper, Drambuie, cider vinegar, and some Spanish rioja.

    Awesome. It's a Frenchification of a classic Spanish dish. In it's own way as good as a true coquille st jacques but a whole lot less work.

    Creative use of ABV. I recommend using fresh herbals some time as well, not for the buzz but the flavor. Good piney strains work in anything you'd use rosemary in, but have deeper flavor, and the more citrusy ones work wherever you'd use savory or sage. My first big cooking day in a while...

    I remember that one- not there yet in re-watching it. She is odd looking. Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #1 came out this week with some cool variant covers. Got myself the Skottie Young version.

    What episode are you at? Cuz if it's episode 9, the lady is the usually gorgeous (though skinny) Gabrielle Anwar, just with shitty makeup and lighting (check her in Burn Notice). Hulu+ does have too many ads for a pay site, which is why I'm canceling my membership when I finish watching John...

    Steak :)

    Like one of the following (made these a while back, but still know how I made them from posting in the Virtual Banquet thread): seared in bacon fat, then in the sous vide at 135F in extra virgin, garlic, basil, fleur de sel, and some good chianti. Then when it came out, the liquid went in a pan...

    Haven't been cooking lately. I;m facing a couple of possible surgeries, in extra pain, all of which, plus money issues, is putting the restaurant thing on hold for at least a couple of years, unless i find a major investor. On the upside, I have lost 26 pounds in about 2 months. Mostly just...

    So for years I have really wanted to read Kirby's New Gods, decided to make another try at getting a copy with the new Star Wars coming (New Gods was a huge influence on Star Wars - Darkseid, the Source, a dark side (Apokolips) and a light side (New Genesis), family lines with special powers...
