Gentlemen, it's all about Laura Calder. I mean, she has good recipes too. But, you know, mostly boobs.
I think we could have our OWN cooking show with TiB members. We're all douchebags, so that already qualifies us as TV celebrities. Here's the pitch: A board member will give an easy and handy how-to to make a nice feast, then board member tjm will be a complete condescending fucktard and tell them how stupid they are how not knowing how to cook the meal on the fly in the first place, then pat himself on the back for being awesome. Sigh. We don't have enough people like that on the board any more. People who just beg to be made an example of.
Laura Calder is hot. Any gal that will make me French grub with a side of rockin' tits is OK by me. Girl is just cute. Even though she's 40ish she's still a girl. Giada... Since we're talking Food Network people, there are 3 cookbooks that have gotten the most legs by me. Mario Batali's Molot Italiano, Emeril's Delmonico, Bourdain's Les Halles (he started his show on FN, it counts). I like Emeril. The food on his show was terrible. The New Orleans stuff in that Delmonico book (based on a classic restaurant in NOLA he bought/restored) is fantastic. Not one bad thing. If you buy any cookbook make it that one. It also has a nice cocktails section.
You could probably just do it by snagging people's youtube clips. The astounding ubiquity of shitty cooking vlogs/blogs/whatever would make this easy.
This weekend is fucking terrible. Got my car towed in NYC yesterday. Walked down to the impound lot today, and it's closed. Odds are they won't be open tomorrow either, so now I get to go back into the city Tuesday morning, pay some ridiculous amount to get it out and then head straight to work. And until then I don't have a car. NJTransit it is from now on...
Guys, you're welcome: http://mydrunkkitchen.tumblr.com/. I have a crush on her even knowing that she's all about box.
I can't believe that someone complained about Rachel's head being too big, then as a counterpoint someone else suggested Gaida as a better choice. That woman is built like a lawn dart.
When I said barf I wasn't even talking about her physical looks. It's her voice and personality that I find grating.
Also I have never seen her show and know dick all about cooking, but I'd like to taste Nigella Lawson's crumpets.
It sounds silly now that I write it out, but my dad was encouraging me to do a website or youtube channel with cooking and home how-to videos. I really love cooking and even bought a .com, but now I'm having my doubts about the whole thing.
I made pita! It's still hot. I still have to oil it and heat it in a pan before eating, but I can freeze it until then.
Does your wife know you're posting pictures of her here? What I Cooked Today* - Broccoli & Spinach Quiche - Beanless Chili - Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Herbs & Oranges - Roasted Carrots & Parsnips *I've been trying to eat a Paleo-style diet for about two months now. This past week included many cheats and by the end I felt like absolute ass. It's crazy what grains & sugar do to your body. Once you stop eating them, it's like your immune system can go about the business of fighting the stuff that really matters.
That tjm post reminds me: what IS the douchiest post ever on this board? We've had a few doozie sin the past year. Here's tjm's, railing BlueDog simply for posting a DIY pictorial he made in the cooking thread: Then, there's our old "friend" JProctor, with a post that makes me want to hammer nails into my eyes: Thn of course jrussellhipsterglasses trying to bust ballsack about two minutes later in the same thread: ...nothing like coming out of nowhere to remind how butthurt you are about shit from 5 years ago. Milliron's is probably the King Turd Post of all time, but are there some good ones I missed?
I just saw this article on CNN. Either the author is a retard when it comes to satire or he's brain dead. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/14/opinion/obeidallah-colbert-danger/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/14/opinion/o ... index.html</a>
I refuse to believe somebody that stupid exists. And this guy is a WRITER, who people rely on to WRITE THINGS by channelling his thoughts into words. Who's more retarded, the guy who wrote him or the tumbling morons who hired him in the first place?
Since we're talking a bit about cooking, let me get an opinion from you guys: I like to cook, so one of the stocking stuffers my wife got me for Xmas was a bottle of "perpetual vanilla". It's a sealed bottle with 3 long vanilla beans in it. Apparently, you take them out, cut them lengthwise, stick them back in the bottle and fill it with rum or vodka. It says to let it sit for 4 weeks before first use, then top it off with rum or vodka every time you use it to keep the beans completely covered. Which should I use, vodka or rum? Anyone know which would make for a better extract?
