We pick Morel mushrooms around here. The resturants in Aspen will pay good money for them.

I pay good money for them too.

SO, I ruined the Reggiano cheese sauce. I don't know what I did or didn't do. I used half and half for teh cream, and may have cooked it too long. I cooked it on the lowest temp posible.

everything blended nice at first and then turned to rubber. I will admit I cooked it longer than I wanted/needed bc the noodles weren't ready. Was it to much/ to little cream? wrong cream? over cooked? What do you guy's think I did wrong?

Sounds like you overheated the cheese. Only take a couple minutes max. I've never seen it get rubbery before.

Made porterhouse veal steaks last night as well. A little overdone at only rare, but with the w pregnant I didn't want to scare her. Plus at 15F the grill needed more time to preheat if I wanted a finish and still raw in the inside.

I've never had a veal steak like that. When having veal can you cook it less and still get out as much flavor from the bone/fat or is it more deicate so you cook it less than regular steak?

I like my porterhouse usually just above rare. At shitty restaurant I order rare but at home I'll cook my porterhouse/tbone a bit more to get some of the char/bone flavor.

speaking of porterhouse. I saw a method on Good Eats to makeshift your own broiler.

Its a little bit long but I bet you an skip through it to get the idea. What you guys think of this method?

If you have a grill or broiler, why bother?

Annikya, my 9yo daughter is a pro at finding them. taught by the best.

I am stuck. It just seems impossible. I've checked every single one and there is always two possibilities. Can anyone solve it ( don't use a solver... duh! ) and explain what was your logic. I think you can just find one more and it will be easy from that point on.

There is no single box with only a single variable. This Is an easy puzzle to solve by starting in one of squares with only 2 empty boxes, and playing from there. If the puzzle didn't work out, then switch your two starting numbers. You will play the puzzle twice at worst.

I used the numbers 3 and 4 in the bottom right square, but you could start elsewhere.

Where did you get the original puzzle?

Mark is at CES right now, and I am again stuck here. I am so fucking sick of not being able to travel. Good news is, I have already begun the process to fix that.

Aaron, if you want to go next year I'll make a pact and split a room with ya. I've been wishin' and hopin' and dreaming to go to CES for years.

Mark and I plan to probably both go next year, maybe we can get a bunch of us together and get a schnazzy suite (ala hangover sans tiger).

I would be totally down, how much do ces passes cost?

Team SSA get together?!

Who's the one getting stuck on the roof?

Well car is at the shop now....we'll see how it goes.

United Auto Workers president Bob King wants to reverse the UAW's eroding course, and one of the best ways to strengthen its position is through increased membership. The Detroit News reports that King and company are looking to bring the power of one to the nearest transplant automaker producing vehicles in the U.S. King says that he wants foreign automakers to know that the UAW has learned from past mistakes and that the rank and file is not "the evil empire." Good to know, right? Well...

After King informed the transplants that the dark side has no power over the UAW, he then went on to tell automaker management at Toyota and Honda that efforts to block the right to fair bargaining will be branded "human rights violators." King reportedly went on to accuse some transplants of spending millions to keep unions out of plants, adding "I would not want to be a company that was branded as a human rights violator." And what happens if the UAW feels the automakers are continuing to block workers' rights to vote for or against the right to organize? King says the next step is to stage global protests that could cost automakers "hundreds of millions of dollars" to combat.

Very nice! I love anime.
