Good Eats Episodes 4, 5 and 28

Having not touched the book for a few months, I got back to it on Saturday night.  I made our entire dinner from the Good Eats book.  Unfortunately that wasn’t an easy task since a lot of the recipes call for different cooking temperatures or methods but I ended up coming up with a combination [...]

Today is my day off, so I’m sitting here in the office with the window open, catching up on college homework and email.  I’ll probably play Anno Venice at some point too.  The dishwasher is running and I’ll get some laundry done too, later on.  We just took a power hit, which did not make [...]
