This guy is a monster. I've screwed around with guitar for twenty years and never heard of him before. Heard him on the local NPR station tonight. [YOUTUBW]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ7amOCI6DI[/YOUTUBE]

Story of one couple that have done it: Can't Decide Where to Retire? - WSJ.com My wife are REALLY hot on this idea. We are already starting the planning although it is still a number of years off for us. If we stay healthy, I can imagine a better way to spend the last mobile years of one's life.

Have a grueling business trip this week, leave tomorrow for Tokyo, will be back home in about 100 hours. but..have a hosted dinner at Inakaya in the Roppongi district. Place even made Steve Raichlin's list of his top 25. Been there before, many years ago. Crazy, noisy, big platters of...

Ate at this place c a couple of days ago. Everything was swimming in the tank...

Over the years of cooking, I have dabbled in just about every cuisine there is. Love them all. For the record, business travel has taken me to most regions and I have experienced the food first hand. Also spent a few years doing the home cooked "Q". But in the last few years, the cuisines...

Tried this for the first time last night. Got a couple of whole striped bass, about a lb each. Cavity stuffed with fresh thyme, rosemary and crushed garlic. Then encased in a thick layer of kosher salt mixed with egg whites, almost like a cement. Baked for a bit more than 25 minutes...

Just made myself a big batch. There's a cassoulet in my near future.:chef:

I have read it is fabulous. Can't seem to source it anywhere but online though. And it isn't cheap.

For years now, cooking on Saturdays is a prime form of recreation for me. I've got the standard 9 to 5 gig (or rather 7 to 4) during the week so if I cook at all during the week, it's really simple easy stuff. But on Saturdays, I get up, hit the stores early, and get the goods for whatever I...

I just love this site. Internet radio, free. You create up to a hundred of your own stations, it saves them based on your email address. You pick a song or artist you like, it doesn't play the song, but songs of similar characteristics based on a years-long mapping projects. Since I work...

Vietnamese sandwiches. I occasionally make a variant as quick meal. French bread, mayo, char sui, Vietnamese chili paste and a big handful of cilantro. But last night on a repeat of Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam, he was at a restaurant in a small town where he claimed had the best banh mi...

Anyone like these things? There are a few Chinese places around here that serve them. One in particular is quite spectacular. Garlic and soy gelatinous goodness!!:smile: And all the Chinese waitresses get all delighted when an Anglo orders them.

Gonna try my hand at gnudi this weekend. Sauteed in a sage butter with crisped prosciutto and a drizzle of truffle oil. Figure a good pinot noir would work well with it. But I am lost on a side dish. Any thoughts?

...really good stuff. Garlicky Greek dip made with mullet roe. I would love to make this stuff at home, but I have no idea where to source mullet roe locally. Anyone else make this? Where do you get the roe?

British Air business class (as good as it gets), Seattle to Paris, Return from London. 6 nights Paris, 2 nights London. We are SOOOO jazzed!:smile:

Found some at the local Asian market and decided I had to try. I am eating some as I type this. I am astounded. Not sure why this fruit has the reputation it does. It is creamy, almost pudding like in texture, mild in flavor, slightly fruity, slightly onion flavor. Not unpleasant in the...

I have a sizable Latino market nearby and an even larger Asian supermarket nearby. The prices are amazing. I made a Chinese braised pork recipe this last weekend, bought most of the ingredients from the Asian market and paid less than 1/2 the price for the comparable items had I bought them at...

This man knows his cured meats. Absolutely delicious. And, yes, he is Mario's dad. Found a really good market yesterday, and had just antipasti for dinner. Aformentioned salami Couple Spanish cheeses: mirableu and mahon A sheepsmilk cheddar Pork pate Marinated borlotti beans Fresh figs...

..and a pic of the building showed up in the latest issue of Bon Appetit.:chef:

Straits Kitchen in Singapore. In the Grand Hyatt. Was there a couple of weeks ago. Emulated the Singapore hawker culture, basically a buffet style (but everything cooked in small batches continually). Was arranged in several "stalls", couple Indian, couple Chinese, Indonesian, etc...

Most unusual, most memorable, most extravegant, whatever. I'll start. My work has taken me to a number of places around the world which, of course, has led to some interesting meals. A couple that come to mind: Had fire roasted whole goat in the desert outside of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Was...

Local Asian market carries them. Thinking of buying one. Wife doesn't want me to bring one home though.:rolleyes:

What's up with that?:wacko:
