Here's the chicken.

Only thing that makes me unsure about Fumee as a name is the history French-named restaurants have if they're in the wrong neighborhood. It's my first choice, but I want a more American back-up name, depending on final location. Meanwhile, out of the smoker so far today - beef spare ribs...

What most of my posts here are like - smoked stuff (mostly NC style, but some kosher and Kansas City as well); French, mostly Provencal and Lyonnaise but some Parisienne too; and Northern Italian.

It is looking more and more like I'll be opening a restaurant in Aurora, CO, which just voted to allow dispensaries for the 1st time. Nowhere near as tourist developed as Denver or Lakewood, cheaper rent, and not a lot of good restaurants yet. So I'm looking for names. At the moment my two...

It's narrow and specific. Hitler applied to join the Golden Dawn and an early iteration of the Argenteum Astrum. He was turned down by both. When he came to power, he shut down Thelema Verlag, Crowley's German-language publishing operation. But then Crowley worked for British Intelligence...

At one point Aleister Crowley held more than half the official world records in mountain climbing. He also led the first European attempt to climb K2. And introduced Aldous Huxley to mescaline. And was thrown out of Italy by Mussolini for 'crimes against nature' (involving a goat). And...

...and there are more microbe cells in a healthy human being than there are human cells (number of cells, not weight) and lacking any of a number of them causes illness. And snails (and many other mollusks) have something called a radula instead of teeth. I stopped eating escargot for years...

A classic poulet truffe - pounded chicken breast seared in butter; sauced with gran cru sauternes, black truffle, butter and cream. Garnished with more black truffle. Asparagus is blanched and tossed in butter and lemon juice.

Here's s chunk of the black Umbrian truffle I picked up in Denver. If you get out there, check out Truffle Cheese, an amazing cheese shop (with truffles) - http://denvertruffle.com. Also Oliver's Meats, a nearly 90 year old butcher shop in Denver, that makes all their own sausage, dry ages...

Very nice. But i have always found hand-kneeding makes a much better texture. It's a pain in the ass but it makes a difference. We even did that at a few good pizza joints I worked at.

Been on the road for a week. Spent a couple days in San Antonio for work, but spent most of the week in Morrison, CO (next to Red Rocks) doing the legal recreational thing and looking into restaurant and B&B opportunities. But I was so wasted, I forgot to take pics of any of the food I ate or...

Hmmm. Don't see how to do this kind of non-embed linking. But check out Supaman's Prayer Loop- Native American hiphop Supaman - Prayer Loop Song Mod note - Fixed. :)

I know it is not really appropriate for erev Yom Kippur, but I'm leaving town for a week on Sunday and need to use up ingredients. So my erev din-din is cannelloni stuffed with 50/50 veal sautéed in duck fat, garlic and herbs and ricotta. The sauce is pinot noir, veloute, porcini mushrooms...

Though not a pic of mine, this looks just about identical to it. Very first one I actually owned, not just shared with a sibling - orange 1972 VW bug. Mine was all kinds of souped up- superbug engine, Porsche racing transmission, and a funky distributor cap mod that had the cylinders fire at...

And now din-din. This turned out better than expected. Used the smallest mezzaluna ravioli press for the first time. Filling is butternut squash, butter, a little Vermont maple syrup, and toasted almond slivers. Sauce is tomato puree, duck fat, pepper, and a small amount of veloute and...

If you loved the test footage, check out the episode of the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon I linked. Subtitle is 'Ultimate Deadpool'. Though credited just as 'Man of Action' (a comic arts collective), the episode was written by Joe Kelly, the writer of the first Deadpool solo comic run.

Another fancy take on kid food- fried chicken fingers with two dipping sauces, Maille honey dijon and veloute.

the Deadpool episode of Spiderman. http://www.animeflavor.com/ultimate-spiderman-season-2-episode-16 And more recent, the Deadpool test footage. Movie happening!!!

Another version of mac and cheese, with freshly extruded small-gauge macaroni (I love the word extruded). The sauce has three cheeses, but only a small amount of parm and pecorino. The star is a crazy white cheddar aged three years. Also contains sherry-drambuie bacon, butter, cream, nutmeg...
