A cartoonishly huge chicken breast in a white whine lemon sauce- ingredients include yellow heirloom tomatoes, garlic, herb de provence, fresh dill, butter. This will likely be my last French haute cuisine dish for some time. I have been making so much Parisienne and Lyonnaise food, I have...

I spent two years with every doctor I saw telling me my pain was from anxiety or (even weirder) a Freudian reaction-formation, despite already having had a spinal surgery. Though none of the docs had ANY training in psychology, psychiatry or psychoanalysis. Then I ended up needing three more...

More Karl - "The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison." (Capital) Just one of many quotes where he...

Sear it at high temp on both sides (in a high-temp oil, like canola). Then deglaze, cover the pan, then in the oven at 350F. For one thick cut chop, 10-15 minutes in the oven; for two, about 25 minutes. The combo of searing and braising keeps it incredibly moist and tender, even if it stays...

Also, when looking at a study like this, that is using a THC to tar ratio, keep in mind that THC is itself water soluble - according to the Merck manual, a standard chemistry reference, it dissolves at a rate of 500 micrograms per 500ml of water. So really low THC herb will lose some of its...

Another French classic - thick-cut pork chop in an armagnac and black pepper cream. Other ingredients include garlic, shallots, Coleman's mustard, dijon, and sage.

Rereading Marx's Capital volume 1 for the first time in many years. Forgot how quotable the man was. More will follow. "Perseus wore a magic cap so that the monsters he hunted down might not see him. We draw the magic cap down over our own eyes and ears so as to deny that there are any...

I agree Martin is not a master of fantasy by a long shot - I far prefer his old short SF, some of which is brilliant. And I have never recommended the books to anyone who wasn't into the TV show, and never would. I am chronically ill and have ADHD. Not sure what either have to do with reading...

Why would you watch a tv show or movie from a best-selling book or series of books and not read the books? I have only done that once in my entire life (Catch-22) and as soon as I read the book I wished I hadn't seen the movie beforehand. But I am an obsessive reader.

Only if you didn't READ THE BOOKS. Why are people acting surprised? The book the Red Wedding is from has been out for YEARS. It's like being surprised by the end of Lord of the Rings. But I sometimes feel like this [EDIT - the USA] has become an almost illiterate country.

It isn't very accurate re smells and tastes, but i have always found those subjective. For instance, Sour Diesel never tasted or smelled sour or dieselly to me. But it is pretty accurate in effects.

"After few hours I found the unit shut off. But no shut-off timer LED pattern (3 green 2 reds?)" Mine just started doing this a week ago. Didn't bug me at first, but it just happened again, and it isn't turning red either. Went to put an ELB in a green-lit EVO and found it ice cold. That is...

A variant on chicken dijon, in sherry instead of white wine and with a porcini infusion. Sorry for the paper plate- my puppy broke more of my real plates.

Restaurant cheat for this if you have no torch - use brown sugar instead of white, comes out of a broiler looking perfect.

Close, but not quite. Nothing else you could have done, but this is the wrong cut of brisket - almost all pastrami outside of NY and Chicago are made with the wrong cut these days. It should be the incredibly densely marbled "tail" of the brisket, which yields pastrami with a fat content...

Another go at brats - bratwurst and wild mushrooms in madeira on a garlic and herb chèvre crostini.

Have you seen the sheets of these? They remind me of sheets of something else...

Help. I'm vaped and lost in a fortune-cookie factory

FUCK Jersey. We New Yorkers do EVERYTHING better, especially cursing. We do English - FUCK YOU - we do Yiddish - STUP IR SHTIK DREK - Italian - VAFFANCULO, FONGOUL - Mandarin - CAO NI - and many others. And we do it everywhere - I learned half of these from my kindergarten teacher. Caused an...

Robert Hooke, one of the greatest scientists ever, on cannabis, which i had frankly forgotten about til last night's Cosmos, though I was obsessed with the dude in grad school: This Powder being chewed and swallowed, or washed down, by a small Cup of Water, doth, in a short Time, quite take...
