I was once "divorced". God it was painful. My roommate and his girlfriend, I was best friend swith them both. She lived at our house. After a while I became even closer with her than I was with him. Then he goes on vacation one summer, she stays at the house. The.... I suppose, inevitable...

As a cook, I can answer a conditional "yes". I think for the most part people grow up and learn to be fully functional adults, but I do remember an incident in which I was still new at a job and I guess I was pissing off a co-worker, so he used his seniority to give me a hard time. It was hard...

I really want to run a marathon too, but my damn knees keep holding me back. I don't know what the problem is. I run 5 miles or so, the rest of my body can go on forever, but my left knee gets stiff and pained. I am able to run all the way home, but as soon as I stop my knee freezes up and...

Speaking of laptops in high schools, we are trying to help Tony's kid in this thread. Join the effort.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

UCLA, baby!!!! #87 which used to be Danny Farmer, but of course, he's graduated and the jersey doesn't have his name, but they printed #87 because of him. Wearing my jersey now as I am about to go to the big game today! #20 UCLA vs #10 California. GO BRUINS!!!!

what is this? I must find this t-shirt design place. I've just started posting here and it seems like this is all a big mess of threads. Not that easy to navigate. Maybe I'll get used to it.

oh and the braised greeens are simple. Use whatever greens you want. Kale, Collared greens, tops of swiss Chard, whatever. Cook in water/white wine mixture. Maybe throw some garlic and/or shallots in. Cook until stems are tender (maybe 30-45 min, but don't quote me on that)

That certainly works. Another option would be to serve it as a dish -> ribs, beans, and greens. Sounds like the ribs are cooked. Ok, get some pork, veal, or beef stock, maybe one can (serving 2-4) Add a 1/2 can of red wine. Reduce to sauce consistancy. Were I to do this, I'd reduce...

Nice!

Eggplant parm is one of my favs. Do you stir fry? That's been an easy way for me to eat healthy. I'll do an Asian stir-fry with things like Bell peppers, Chayote, bean sprouts, snow peas, carrots, celery, etc. 1. Chop Veggies 2. Dice garlic, ginger, shallots 3. Heat pan to high temp...

oh geez, just realized this is supposed to be healthy cooking. Instead of a Buerre Blanc, lets use a fruit sauce. Or lets do a lemon vinagrette. 1C. Extra virgin Olive oil 1/3C. Lemon juice 1t. Dry mustard 1T diced shallots 1T. chopped fresh herbs (Parsley, taragon, oregano, chervil...

Good replies. Go in there knowing that you are a complete badass and they'd be fools not to hire you. However, you got to be humble too. Pay attention to your interviewers body language and emulate him/her. If he/she is an serious perosn who sits with their back perfectly straight. You do...

I don't drink much at all, but there are many culinary uses for alcohol that would be hard to give up. Most sauces use red or white wine as a base. Also many desserts benefit from liqour. In culinary school I remember my classmate made these chambord filled chocolate candies - absolutely...

Cod is a boring fish, but cheap. As a professional Cook, I am always looking for ways to make cheap food good. The wonderful thing about Cod is that it is a delicate fish - wonderful texture. So how do we use these things to our advantage? Well, we augment the soft delicate fish with crunch...

Having played football in HS, there is no "choice" for the players. They made a commitment to team. If I were the parent of one of these players/band members, I'd make sure that they were at the game and in uniform, but really, I don't think I'd have to say anything at all. When you're on a...
