Today is our last day on Hilton head. I’m really wanting to get a sailboat for part of the day, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. It is kind of expensive and Sarah doesn’t think I’ve sailed recently enough. In other news Wall’s BBQ was not all I’d hoped it would be. I’ve come to the conclusion (and …
Hilton Head Day Two
We spent yesterday lounging around the condo before going kyaking in Broad Creek. On the way to the kyak place ate lunch at a very nice southwestern restaurant (not surprisingly called Santa Fe). I’ve not had good fish tacos since I was last in San Diego. These were exceptional. They were made with blackened grouper rather than a fried fish …
Hello from Hilton Head
Sarah and I are taking a much needed vacation with her family this week. We’re staying in a condo in the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. It’s quite nice. We’ve seen the gator in the pond/lake/lagoon behind our condo several times already. There is a bird that is quite loud every morning, not so good for the sleeping. …
IMBB: Rice
I’m excited about this Is My Blog Burning because I’m actually going to participate. Okay, so I won’t really be cooking on the actual day, because I’ll be returning from a much needed vacation in Hilton Head, but I will be posting a special creation. I really love the concept of IMBB. It brings people together from all over the …
Kerner.com Owned by Lucas Arts
Every so often I do a whois on kerner.com to see if it has recently expired and I might be able to snatch it up. Imagine my surprise this morning when I noticed that it has a new owner. Until recently it had always been owned by some insurance like organization (the Kerner Insurance Group or something similar). Today the …
Baking is SCIENCE! (the latest cookwise post)
Okay, so it seemed like a good idea at the time, but the Cookwise Project was a bit of a flop. It’s a great book, but my original concept wasn’t all that suitable to my lifestyle. I manaaged to do fairly well with the bread chapter (I love to bake bread). What did it in was the fat chapter (which …
Lack of blogging
I’m not sure if anybody still reads this blog. I know that the page views have gone down substantially. If anybody wonders it’s because I’ve been overly busy at work lately. We’ve adjusted our strategy to focus more on knowledge management rather than just training. The Educara web site has also gotten quite a makeover. I’m actually excited about this …
Quizzila: Which Food Network Personality Are You?
You are ALTON BROWN, host of “Good Eats”!Geeky and quirky, a former indie film directorturned foodie, you seek to put science to workfor you in your kitchen. You concentrate onproper technique, and understanding why itworks. You also take pride in using yourclever wit to debunk popular (read: INCORRECT)thought about cooking. Youre just a little bitof a pedagogue, but thats cool, …
Everyday Food
I don’t think I’ve written about this topic yet, so I figured I would. I know a lot of people will scoff at what I’m about to say, but that’s fine by me. I love Martha Stewart Omnimedia properties. That’s not to say I like Martha Stewart, frankly I think she’s vile, but rather that I applaud the quality of …
Jambalaya
Aside from having been really busy lately and having no end in sight (we actually realized that we’ve already booked up all the weekends in April, ugh), I’ve not been cooking as much as I would like. That came to an end last night. We recently received a 7.5qt Le Crueset dutch oven as the final remainder of Williams-Sonoma credit …
Man Food Show Appliances
I think that last night’s Good Eats was better than most of them have been in a while. I’ve got to say I’ve been somewhat disappointed lately, it seems like Brown may be running out of ideas. That said, The Man Food Show is a very good episode. It has This brings me to my question: What brand of griddle/fryer …
Still alive
I’m still alive, I’ve just been swamped at work, church, and other duties. This afternoon I also got hit by a comment spammer. I’ve been going through everything and turning off comments and deleting the ads. I have also finally upgraded to MT 2.661. I’m going to leave comments on for a few posts just to see if the upgrade …
