If we're going to go Jews in hip-hop, Matisyahu (before he cut his beard and payos)

And her dad was a sound engineer for Pink Floyd.

Thomas Piketty, for the braaaains. And while we're at it, Karl Marx. And ol' uncle Al, Aleister Crowley. To include some fictionals- Bender Bending Rodriguez Jurgen from Cabell's novel And back to the real world- David Chang, IMO best chef in the US right now And for a completely...

This does not sound like an allergy to me, or at least not an allergy to the actives in the plant. My mother and older sister are both officially allergic to THC (extremely rare) and it makes them damn near psychotic- hallucinations, clinical levels of paranoia, other psych symptoms. No...

When I explained everything I was on, he said I scared him. In that context, something of a compliment. Owsley once told me the same thing (though i didn't puke on him).

ADVENTURE TIME!!

Barrowman!! I'm an old-school fag-hag so he's on my short list. Also, if dead people are allowed, Hunter Thompson. Met him once (vomited on his shoes) but didn't really get to hang. I was too, um, altered.

Fuckin A. Awesome if you can do it - I couldn't for 15 years. Took two years to do it, but I been off all the pain killers, muscle relaxants and anti-depressants since last August. And in no more pain, and less depressed, than when on them. Even quit tobacco and nicotine completely about 6...

Well, I cook like a motherfucker and love doing so for people, know all sorts of shit about lots of weird shit, am told I'm a mensch, am generous with my herb, food, time, vapes, and glass, and people say I'm funny. Biggest things that seem to be different about DC (and different than DC used...

Did all sorts of things- spoke to everyone I could, both about the club topics and other stuff. I'm not exactly shy (sarcastic Jew from New York, former academic and tour head). Got into some political arguments with people. But that happens in the DC area. I think the biggest part of the...

Sounds like someone who has not been grappling with chronic social isolation and illness for long, if at all. Go a decade alone most of the time and you'll try all sorts of shit just to be around other people. I joined the clubs on the recommendation of family and doctors based on both...

I tried this to no avail. Joined R/C airplane clubs, literary clubs, and others. Ate up a shitload of time and money and yielded zero friends. In my case I think part of the problem is where i live (just outside of DC) and work (in DC). Between how full of assholes DC is and being fat...

Even harder when you're chronically ill and handicapped. I haven't made a new friend in many, many, many years. Not to mention no dating for over a decade...

First thing out of the new water oven - slow-poached eggs (the David Chang version - 145F for 45 minutes). Served on buttered oatmeal bread, pulled pork sirloin sautéed in sage and madeira, and with some of my wet-cured bacon. Need to practice de-shelling the poached eggs intact for...

Here's the pork shredded. Just to the side you can see the completely stripped remains of the cornish game hen. Shockingly tasty smoked. New cuisinart (and water oven) due to be delivered today.

Similar texture to a demi, but dark purple (from the plums, port and balsamic). The sauce on my poutine from a last week was technically a demi, but made from bacon stock and beef stock instead of just beef. And here's the pork sirloin that was in madeira-armagnac brine. Letting it cool a bit...

First out of the smoker today - chicken breast in marsala brine and a cornish hen that soaked in NC mop. Also smoked the plums, tomatoes, garlic and shallots, and used them to make the sauce below (along with tawny and ruby port, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, ginger, bacon fat, nutmeg and...

So my brother got married this weekend and I provided a shitload of food for one of the parties. 1st time in almost 15 years since I fed the equivalent of the public (about 100 people). Forgot to take pics- flustered by my damn gontse mishpuchah being around - but I served bbq pork sirloin I...

Personally it bothers me less than the way "organic" is thrown around. Since that really just means "contains carbon", which is true of everything we eat. tiukauleh- I do not have a more recent reference than that, as I no longer work in the food field. But please note the linked article is...

So the pork sirloin turned out excellent. Below is a sandwich of it, with my balsamic BBQ sauce (KC style) in addition to the NC style vinegar and port mop, sliced visalia onion, cheddar curds (left over from the poutine), kosher dills and a little mayo. I just realized the handle of my...
