Product Reviews
"EasyTether Pro takes your hand and walks you gently into Tetherland. You'll be tethering with this app for years to come, as long as your carrier still offers unlimited data.While the setup prcoess may be a bit tricky for the least tech savvy, most users will be up and tethering in no time. Tether on my friends. 9.5/10" - Ben Freed, App Rundown
"While EasyTether involves a bit more work than rooted tether apps, it is a nice solution for people that can't or don't want to root their phones." - Ed Clark, Androinica
"Overall, EasyTether is a great app to have. It is very useful and since it is USB enabled it will not drain your battery. The speed is excellent even though it is coming from a smartphone. I suggest that you go Pro for $9.99 just because it will allow you to access websites that you will probably need to access anyway (HTTPS)." - The Good Find
FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root)
You can connect from any computers or tablets or even game console. Access Point is infrastructure mode with WPA2 security. FoxFi usage is covered under the same phone data plan you have and no tether plan needed. This saves you $20/month from your carrier.
Currently WiFi mode may not support some phone models and we are working to expand the supported list. However Bluetooth/USB mode works for all phones. To check and see if WiFi mode can be supported on your phone visit http://foxfi.com/devices
Again you do NOT need a tether plan or root your phone (otherwise you do not need our software). It WiFi mode prompts you to call your carrier that means FoxFi has failed and you should use USB mode or Bluetooth mode instead.
*If you have T-mobile, you should use USB mode with "Hide Tether Usage" enabled.
*Sprint and AT&T has blocked the original FoxFi from Market. If you get error installing please use the second link from http://pdanet.co/android
*Starting from Android 4.1 carriers have locked-down the WiFi hotspot feature on most phones, to work around that FoxFi will ask you to install a "FoxFi certificate" on those phones. The side effect is that Android system will require you to set a screen lock when any security settings is changed. For some models there may be a way to remove the lock screen while keeping the certificate. Please see details at http://pdanet.co/wifi
-- Android 4.4 will also show a warning message that says "Your network usage may be monitored" as a result of installing the "FoxFi Certificate". You can safely ignore this warning because the FoxFi certificate can not be used outside of turning on hotspot.
-- If the screen lock or the monitor warning bothers you, you can actually remove the "FoxFi certificate" as soon as WiFi hotspot is ready (the certificate, as well as the VPN, is only needed during the "turning on" period). See steps below.
--To remove the FoxFi certificate, select "Clear Credentials" from phone security Settings (this removes ONLY the FoxFi certificate, all the stocked certificates will stay). If "Clear Credentials" is disabled, open the list of certificates and select the "User" tab, then open the FoxFi Certificate and scroll down to remove. Only after that your phone will allow you to set screen lock to "None".
*AT&T Galaxy/Note phones: WiFi mode is now blocked if you updated to 4.3. Please use USB/BT mode.
*The free version has a usage limit that requires you to restart FoxFi to continue using free mode. You can purchase the full version key to unlock this.
Here are some tips to help your usage:
1. On some models if you run into WiFi problem after using the Hotspot, simply reboot your phone and rename the hotspot before activating to clear the issue.
2. For some Samsung phones if your computer is not able to get an IP address, try to turn on WiFi on the phone first and make sure it does not connect to any WiFi network, then turn on FoxFi.
3. FoxFi is tested on non-rooted phones. If your phone has a rooted ROM it may or may not work.
4. When WiFi hotspot is activated you may also see a hotspot notification of the built-in WiFi hotspot feature. Please ignore it. As long as you do not sign up for a tether plan you won't be charged.
5. If you enter or change the hotspot password, make sure you rename the hotspot also before activating.
6. Sometimes Windows need a "repair" on the WiFi menu to get a correct IP address.
PdaNet Tablet (new)
This software allows you to get FULL Internet on an Android tablet if you have an Android phone.
Simply install this program on your Android tablet then select "Configure" to pair with your phone. Follow the instruction if it asks you to install FoxFi or PdaNet on your phone side.
Depending on which phone and tablet you have, you can connect using either WiFi or Bluetooth.
This is completely rewritten and supports Full Internet access with zero delay.
Free Internet Speed Booster
Free Internet speed Booster functions to speed up your Internet connection
- Cleans the DNS cache and improves the latency (this will increase the ping speed and best if you play multiplayer games).
- Stops unwanted background tasks and increase the available bandwidth.
- Adjusts average parallel connections to optimize the speed.
This app perfectly works with all Android phones and tablets. This does not require ROOT to run.

Washing dishes with baking soda
I forgot to buy dishwasher detergent, and I discovered this when the dishwasher was full. So I Googled dishwasher detergent substitute and learned you can put baking soda in the dispenser. I did so--about three heaping teaspoons--and ran the usual wash cycle. The dishes came out sparkling.
This makes me wonder if there's a reason why we need to use dishwasher detergent.
PS: Interestingly, the glassware came out exactly the same as when I use Cascade gel: some perfectly clear, and some covered in a white powdery coating.
Well, I have to amend what I said about the glassware. When they got coated with white after washing with detergent, I was able to wash off the coating by hand easily. This time, one of the glasses appears to be permanently coated. My old standby of last resort, Greased Lightning, did absolutely no good, and even scrubbing hard with Comet cleanser only helped somewhat.
Baking soda raises the alkalinity of the water. When water is hard (calcium,magnesium and other minerals) and heated the alkalinity will react with the minerals and create scale.
Baking soda can also weaken tooth enamel over the long term.
Most products containing baking soda have other ingredients to offset these downsides.
You need to check with the manufacturer of the machine. My book tells me I can use vinegar in mine, but not very often. It is hard on the parts.
My glasses were looking awful so I soaked them and the regular dishes in vinegar water in my sink then washed them. They really sparkled when I was done.
Vinegar is an acid. All acids are corrosives to some degree.
Manufacturers of cleaning products have done the scince to balance the chemistry to do a good job of cleaning without the downsides.
Well almost. Of course the stupid greenies have made them remove the phosphates which ensured clean shiny dishes and less dingy laundry.
Is baking soda considered a good enough disinfectant/cleaner for dishes? I know it has slight abrasive qualities that can help with cleaning but I never thought it was ok by itself.
I don't doubt that the dishes may appear clean...I'm just not sure they are. Isn't a detergent also needed? Did you add borax or something else too?
I just used baking soda--nothing else added. I'm not too worried about disinfecting the dishes because a) the water was very hot and b) I'm the only one eating off them. :-)
However, I'm not 100% pleased with the result. Although the dishes and flatware are very shiny, the flatware feels rather odd, as if the baking soda left a deposit on it. I consider the baking soda to be an interesting experiment, but one I'm not likely to repeat.
By the way, my dentist in NYC--the best dentist I've ever had--advised his patients to brush with baking soda and peroxide.
And although I don't usually think of myself as stupid (well, only on rare occasions), I'm glad phosphate pollution of our waters has been banned.
I can't find anything about using baking soda alone for dishwashing. Everything I find says to mix it with borax (a detergent) too. Baking soda is great for it's soft scrub cleaning capabilities but I'm pretty sure dishes need detergent too.
Of course you don't clean your teeth with soap or detergent; it's not the same type of cleaning.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think your dishes are really clean. You may think it's ok but if you have something that had raw meat on it, you could be in trouble.
You may want to double check your source about using baking soda in the dishwasher and make sure you don't also need a detergent and/or borax. Possibly they are saying to use it to clean the dishwasher itself and not the dishes. I think many also recommend Tang for that.
It feels funny because it is not clean, clean dishes should feel slick. When they dropped the phosphates is when I started noticing my dishes didn't look clean. I have started using the blue rinse and so far so good.
Another chemical they are thinking of eliminating is Triclosano.15. It is in our water and in our bodies. It was in a lot of the anti bacterial liquid hand cleaners. Dial has it. Most now have alcohol.
You'd likely get as good a result, and possibly even superior by simply using a very hot water in the dishwasher. The "feel" on there may well be a baking soda residue on the dishes or possibly something from the water. Although some of the action of a dishwashing detergent is an abrasive to essentially sandblast things off. Enzymes, when included, will help remove food particles. But for dishes that aren't that laden with bacteria, food particles and such just running water on them will do a cleaning to a degree.
I don't have a dishwasher anymore and I often use the sprayer on the sink to spray off something, like the pans and they look "clean". Are they? I'm not sure. Depends on how you define clean I guess. Once the bulk is off then I still like to give them a wipe with some Dawn Direct Foam (or regular dish soap) and give them a good hot rinse. I also keep my water heater at a higher setting than do many.
I'm much less concerned with a bowl holding snacks or something that I am over something on which raw meat or something was placed. When I handle raw poultry, everthing in and around it gets hit with bleach.
Personally I'd probably think about putting some bleach in a rinse cycle of the dishwasher if I had one again. Dishwashers are a haven for bacteria.
Well I can only use Dial with triclocarbon on my hands and body. The old fashioned gold bar. It's the only thing that keeps my hand eczema under control. If I so much touch liquid soap or another bar the little blisters on my fingers appear. That includes those so called no soap bars and cleansers that are so expensive.
Special thanks to Mary Ann TX for recommending it through HER doctor.
They will probably go after the blue rinse aid next. Someday they will look at the chemical components of plain water and ban that to. Crazy.
This turned out to be an informative topic. I decided to check Arm and Hammer's web site to see if they had hints for household use and there have lots. I liked the idea of washing off produce with it - I hate buying waxy cucumbers. I usually look for the seedless or English cucumbers because they have little or no wax.
But here's what Arm and Hammer said about using it in the dishwasher:
..........Hand washing Dishes and Pots & Pans
Give yourself a hand! Add 2 heaping tablespoons ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda (along with your regular dish detergent) to the dish water to help cut grease and foods left on dishes, pots and pans. For cooked-on foods, let them soak in the ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda/detergent water first, then use dry ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda on a clean damp sponge or cloth as a scratchless scouring powder!
........Deodorize and Clean Dishwashers
Relax. There's no need to run the dishwasher just yet! Sprinkle a handful of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda on the dishes or in the bottom of the dishwasher to absorb food odors just lingering in the dishwasher. Double duty! Use ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda to deodorize before you run the dishwasher and then as a gentle cleanser in the wash cycle.
I don't have any fancy dishes so I don't care what they look like as long as they're clean. I sacrifice a little vanity for less chemicals in my home and the water supply. I use Method.
Whether that makes me a stupid greenie or not, I can't be the only one who sees a direct correlation between the ridiculously high cancer rates in our society and the rampant use of chemicals and pollution in the environment.
Thanks for pointing out the raw meat issue. The only thing that touched raw meat (actually, it was chicken) was a white plastic cutting board, and that's all I use it for. In fact I used it again last night.
I'm planning to wash dishes by hand until I can get out to buy some more detergent.
If you can find some LemiShine - it will take that nasty coating off your glasses and silverware. I get it at my grocery store - but I have seen it at WalMart also.
I used to use Cascade - but something changed and it left my dishes spotty and feeling icky. Not everytime -but often enough.
I use the LemiShine in the first compartment - the one without the lid - then I add a Quantum pack to the compartment with a lid(these are the soft ones)It has a spot free agent in it also. My dishes are always clean and sparkly. It also took off the grundgy feeling left by the cascade.
Our news paper puts out articles on things we use all the time, electronics, appliances, feeding the birds, etc.. One time it was the dishwasher. You are suppose to scrap off hunks of food, but don't rinse them before you put them in the dishwasher. They are suppose to be dirty so the detergent will adhere to it and do it's job.
Another time it was on laundry. It said you are not suppose to place a sheet around the agitator, you are suppose to push it all down on one side and the other sheet on the other side. I did not know that. Here I am 75 years and have been doing it wrong all these years. LOL
I've been using Electrasol for years, but am now using the Quantum Powerball that Iowagirl just posted. I was actually very happy with the results I was getting with the old Electrasol, but I'm surprised at how much cleaner and sparkley everything is now with the Quantum.. even the inside of the dishwasher looks much cleaner.
I clean my Electric Coffee Pot with baking soda. I fill the coffee pot with water and add 2 TBps to the basket and plug it in....When completed I scrub and it is so clean and my coffee tastes delicious. I only do this once a month...
There are many uses to baking soda...but I use dishwasher detergent in my dishwasher...and my dishes and glasses come out spotless......
What was called the Senior Men's Coffee Group, later re-named "ROMEOs" (Retired Old Men Eating Out) ... and they wouldn't touch my suggested "ROMDOs" (Retired Old Men Drinking Out) with a ten-foot pole, met this morning.
After the meeting, when I was rinsing the cups prior to putting them through the sanitizer, a couple had some stains, and there's a small dish with some baking soda and a scrubber there on the counter that we can use to remove such stains.
Usually it works fairly well - but sometimes one needs to add quite a lot of elbow grease.
ole joyful
I went to school with a guy who had the most beautiful white teeth. He was from a very poor family and they used baking soda for tooth paste.
I remember using it every now and then hoping to have teeth as white as his.
Years later we had a class reunion, that he attended. I was amazed to see his teeth were all brownish. The looked horrid. I wondered then about the baking soda.

I want to implement an equals method on a class where the equality of instances is derived from the 'weak' equality of the contained lists, i. e. the same order of the list elements is not necessary, whereas
java.util.List.equals(Object) (you can see its javadoc below) demands the same order.
So, what's the best way to perform an order-independent equality check on lists?
I thought of wrapping the lists into new lists, sorting them and then performing the equals there on.
Or another approach (that would make this question obsolete): Use a TreeSet instead, this way the order of the elements would always be the same in sets with equal elements.
* Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returns
* <tt>true</tt> if and only if the specified object is also a list, both
* lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in
* the two lists are equal. (Two elements <tt>e1</tt> and
* <tt>e2</tt> are equal if <tt>(e1==null ? e2==null :
* e1.equals(e2))</tt>.) In other words, two lists are defined to be
* equal if they contain the same elements in the same order. This
* definition ensures that the equals method works properly across
* different implementations of the <tt>List</tt> interface.
* @param o the object to be compared for equality with this list
* @return <tt>true</tt> if the specified object is equal to this list
boolean equals(Object o);
I know the answer and closed the tab. Afterwards I read a post on meta about what to do in these kind of situations. But since my question was cached by SO, I'm going to post it anyway. Maybe someone has the same 'problem' in future. I'm going to post the answer, if no one does.

Is there anything quite like sorghum? Rich, earthy, and funky, it's like molasses with a deep, dark secret. Chefs and home cooks everywhere are figuring out what those of us in the South have always known–sweet sorghum syrup is a great way to add depth, umami, and character to anything that needs sweetened up.
We here at The World's Only Live Radio Cooking Show (That We Know Of) know that there's no better application for sorghum than drizzled over a hot biscuit, but on this month's show we're going to show you some new ways to incorporate it into your cooking routine. We'll be talking with Appalachian food afficionado Ronni Lundy about her new book Sorghum's Savor, and hopefully we'll have a sorghum maker in the studio to tell us how it's done.
That's Wednesday, April 1, 6-7 PM on 88.7 WMMT-FM. Stream it live here; archived version will be up eventually. And if you're in or near Whitesburg, come on over and join the Tasting/Dishwashing Panel!
Don't miss it!
I think I speak for the vast majority of us when I say that this winter bullsh*t is getting old. Don't get me wrong–I appreciate the fact that we get all four seasons here in Kentucky, sometimes in the same week. But when it's almost time to Spring Forward and I'm looking at big dirty piles of snow from the week before last and plumber bills from the frozen pipes, I'm ready to set my wool coat on fire and head someplace where I could wear shorts to Christmas dinner.
That's why The World's Only Live Radio Cooking Show (That We Know Of) is making like the smarter varieties of bird and flying south for the rest of the winter. We'll be cooking a couple of stews from warmer climates that have enough substance to keep us warm in the frigid temps but can transport our minds and our souls to places that don't even have words for snow.
And speaking of keeping warm, Jonathan will be talking about his trek to Louisville for the Bourbon Classic, where he spent several days trying to keep warm Kentucky-style. And like one always does when flying south, he'll stop in Atlanta for a Georgia-inspired cocktail that won his heart at the Bourbon Classic Cocktail Competition.
That's Wednesday, March 4, 6-7PM, on 88.7 WMMT-FM in Whitesburg–you can stream it live here. And if you happen to be nearby, we'd love to have you on our Tasting/Dishwashing Panel, so come on by the opulent kitchen studio of the Appalshop!

Review: Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour – Richmond, KY
(Note: if you're planning to see Alton's tour at some point, I suggest you stop reading right here and enjoy the show as it comes. If you're not planning to see it, then I'd strongly encourage you to change your mind about that, and still stop reading here. If you've already seen it, or if it's just not possible for you, then OK, keep reading.)
I had no idea what to expect from the Edible Inevitable Tour, Alton Brown's big theater extravaganza.
It wouldn't be the first time Tamara and I had seen him live; several years ago we trekked to Nashville for a demo in which he set up his Turkey Derrick (well before it appeared on Good Eats) and deep-fried a turkey in the middle of the Opryland Hotel, probably taking years off the life of more than one fire marshal. But this had to be more than a cooking demo, even an over-the-top one; this was Alton's attempt to combine his senses of whimsy, kitchen nerdery, and grandiosity into a compelling evening at the theatre.
It was a good bet that we would be on board for whatever he had in store–he is, after all, the patron saint of What's Cookin' Now!. But even with the high expectations that such a title brings with it, I'm happy to say that Alton's show blew them away.
The show broke down into roughly four parts, which I'll discuss separately.
The Talk
Alton spent most of the first act alone on stage with only a few simple graphics behind him, doing a talk called Things I'm Pretty Sure About About Food. At the beginning of his career Alton started keeping a notebook in which he kept track of things about food he was absolutely certain about, most of which ended up getting scratched out later on. When he looked back at what was left, it was a pretty short list:
- Chickens don't have fingers.
- Trout does not belong in ice cream.
- Don't leave out the NaCl.
- Raisins are always optional.
- Never eat shrimp cocktail in an airport.
These nuggets of wisdom came with stories, including his attempt to scare his daughter's friends away from chicken fingers, his experience watching Iron Chef Sakai making trout ice cream and the horror that ensued from his tasting portion, and a cautionary tale from his early cooking days about dumping an industrial batch of unsalted bread dough in a Dumpster in the raging Georgia heat.
If the entire show had been nothing but Alton telling stories, I would have been perfectly happy. The chance to stretch out into a longer form than television allows him clearly suits him. It reminded me of Kevin Smith's "Q&A" sessions, in which the questions just become jumping-off points for lengthy and hilarious stories about his experiences making movies. If Alton ever wants to scale it back, he'd be excellent in Smith's format.
The Demos
Each act contained a large-scale, ridiculous, and fairly dangerous cooking demonstration. Alton has always expressed his disdain for "unitaskers" by saying that the only thing in the kitchen that should only have one job is the fire extinguisher, but after he had one fail at the task (because he neglected to keep it charged) he decided to stop giving it a pass. So he brought out a rig that allowed him to inject CO2 into a chamber filled with chocolate-infused cream, which not only made a gallon of chocolate ice cream in ten seconds but also carbonated said ice cream.
I do think Alton could have spent a little more time explaining exactly what was happening, science-wise; he gavea brief explanation along with a slide of the Joule-Thomson equation, but it wasn't up to his usual level of making kitchen science understandable. But as a demonstration of what awesome things you can do when you bring science to the party, it was fantastic.
The science behind the second demo was fairly self-explanatory. He talked about getting hold of his cousin's Easy-Bake Oven as a kid and trying to ramp it up by replacing the 100-watt bulb with a 150, only to melt down the plastic housing. He never gave up the dream of the light-powered oven with More Cowbell, though, and those dreams eventually became the Mega-Bake, powered by 54 Par 64 cans (theatrical lights) and achieving temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. With the help of an audience member (who signed a waiver on the way up), he made two pizzas and cooked them in four minutes.
These demos were a blast to watch, but I especially loved the way they gave us a look directly into Alton's id. The Mega-Bake is not something he conceived for this show; he showed a picture of a sketch he made of such a device when he was a teenager. He talked of building prototypes of the Jet Cream in his own garage (and the subsequent damage). As he said at the beginning, this show was not created for the audience's amusement, but for his own amusement, and it's obvious to me that if he didn't have an audience he'd still be finding ridiculous ways to cook. "Why?" he asked, after explaining that he was going to cook pizzas in four minutes? "Because I freakin' can."
The Q&A
The second act contained a Q&A portion, with the questions submitted via Twitter and chosen randomly. It didn't last as long as I wish it had (other parts of the show ran long), but it was fun. For instance, he claims that his logo has six fingers as a tribute to Inigo Montoya (though I'm skeptical), he likes the simple sabotages more than the more ridiculous ones on Cutthroat Kitchen, and he was surprised to find that people would buy his yeast puppets at the merch stand even though they're socks with eyes purchased at Michael's.
The Songs
The show was punctuated by four songs scattered out through the acts. While Alton is a pretty good guitarist (who picked up a sweet Rickenbacker at Wilcutt while he was in town, showing that he knows a great guitar shop when he sees one), the songs missed more than they hit. The worst was the opening number, a rap (yes, a rap, complete with Run-D.M.C. hat and diamond-studded donut on a chain) entitled "TV Chef" that was at least as bad as you might imagine. It was cringeworthy in a way that made me feel bad for Alton's now-15-year-old daughter, who I suspect wants to disappear into the walls even more than teenage girls when their parents get going. "I guess it's all uphill from here," he said when it was over, and he wasn't wrong.
The best of the songs was "Easy-Bake", a more straightforward rocker that served as an intro to the Mega-Bake demo and included a reference to Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" debacle, possibly my favorite movie scene ever. And the closing number, a song written to help explain to his daughter that cooking is not as hard as he makes it look on TV, was sweet and a great way to bring the energy back down at the end.
This show, for better or worse (and almost entirely for better), is 2 1/2 hours inside Alton Brown's head. It's not a bad place to spend an evening if you're a fan of cooking, science, spectacle, or even just entertaining stories. See this show while you can.
(Note: I cannot say enough about what a great facility the new EKU Center for the Arts is, and what terrific stuff they're bringing in. That Hot Sardines show coming up is worth checking out. Huge thanks to Shawn for getting WCN! into the meet-and-greet. And to our dear friends the Collinses for the excellent seats.)
Did you know that more songs have been written about honey than any other food? Actually I made that up, but it almost has to be true, right? Honey has become a metaphor for just about everything that's good, and it's easy to see why. It's delicious, it's useful in the kitchen, it takes a lot of work to make it go bad, and it can be a completely local product.
Jonathan and Jenny have been teaching at the Eastern Kentucky Beekeeping School for the last couple of years, so we're bringing some of that knowledge to The World's Only LIVE Radio Cooking Show (That We Know Of). We'll be focusing on savory dishes and how honey can punch them up. We'll also talk about how you can use science to make infused honey, and of course we'll talk about some great ways to use honey in cocktails.
We'll also have a preview of the Bourbon Classic 2015, coming up this month in Louisville! We'll have some audio that Jonathan and Tamara recorded at last year's Bourbon Classic Cocktail Competition, and a preview of what's coming up this year.
That's Wednesday, February 4, 6-7PM on 88.7 WMMT-FM in Whitesburg. As always, you can stream it here. And if you happen to be in Whitesburg, we'd love to have you on our Tasting/Dishwashing Panel!
Don't miss it!
I didn't get any pictures of the cocktails I did in our session at the 2015 Eastern Kentucky Beekeeping School, but I thought I'd get the recipes down anyway. The first one is original; the second one is not.
Dizzy Bee
For the "Winter Honey":
1 half-pint honey
1 cinnamon stick
zest of 1 medium orange
1/2 tsp vanilla
If you have an immersion circulator, combine all ingredients in a half-pint Mason jar and place in a 120 degree F water bath for six hours. If you don't, either combine all the ingredients in a jar and leave for at least 5 days, or combine them in a saucepan and heat over low heat for 30 minutes or until tasty, then cool completely. See the previous post for details on infusing honey.
For two cocktails:
3 barspoons "Winter Honey"
3 dashes Angostura bitters
3 ounces Appleton Estate XO rum
2 coins of orange peel
Place the honey and bitters in a mixing glass and swirl around with a muddler. Add the rum and swirl some more. Add ice and stir until the glass is cold. Strain onto clean ice in an Old Fashioned glass and top with a flamed orange peel.
Gold Rush
(originally created by T.J. Siegel at Milk & Honey, NYC)
For the honey syrup:
Combine equal parts honey and water and heat just until the honey dissolves, then cool completely. Or, if you have a sous vide setup, place equal parts honey and water in a Mason jar and place in a 120 degree water bath for 2 hours.
For two cocktails:
4 ounces high-proof bourbon (such as Old Forester 100 or Old Granddad Bonded)
1 1/2 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed or don't bother)
1 1/2 oz honey syrup
Pinch of salt
Shake vigorously with ice and strain onto clean ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Recipe: Sauteed Butternut Squash with Rosemary Honey (from EKY Bee School 2015)
This recipe is from What's Cookin' Now!'s "Cooking with Honey" presentation at the East Kentucky Beekeeping School in Hazard on January 24, 2015.
Infusing honey presents a dilemma. The easiest way to do it is to just chuck something flavorful into a jar of honey and let it sit until the flavor infuses, but you're going to have to wait at least five days and probably more before you get any real intensity. Heating up the honey mixture speeds up the process considerably, but it's very hard to do without pasteurizing the honey. Pasteurization is the process of heating raw honey until the wild yeasts still present in it are thoroughly vanquished; it's a function of temperature and time, but at 161 degrees F it takes less than 30 seconds to be considered pasteurized, and it's really hard to maintain a temperature lower than that on the stovetop. Health advocates say that pasteurization destroys many of the health benefits you get from the raw stuff, and honey connoisseurs say that it blunts the complex flavors that can make honey so interesting. So how do you infuse honey but keep it as raw as the Wu-Tang Clan likes it?
Enter the immersion circulator!
Maintaining those low temperatures is exactly what sous vide cooking is all about. If you happen to own a Sansaire (or other circulator), just put your honey and flavorant in a Mason jar, seal it up, and put it in a 120 degree water bath. At 130 degrees honey will pasteurize after about seven hours; six hours at 120 degrees F gives you a nice infusion and spares most of the yeast from execution.
Now, have I Pepsi Challenged honey infusions made in the circulator vs. those made on the stovetop or those just left to sit and infuse at room temperature? No, I haven't. But it's a nice tool to have in your arsenal.
My original plan was to serve the rosemary honey over fried eggplant, as they often do with honey or molasses in Spanish tapas bars. (Curate, possibly the best Spanish tapas bar that isn't in Spain, does theirs with honey and garnishes it with rosemary.) But since it's January and the few eggplants I could find in the store didn't look very good, I decided to use some of Old Homeplace Farm's awesome butternut squash instead. I'm really glad I did, because this one's a keeper. It can be a side dish on its own, or a main dish served over quinoa with a little lemon juice, and the leftovers would be excellent tossed into a salad.
Sauteed Butternut Squash with Rosemary Honey
For the honey:
1 pint raw honey
4-5 sprigs rosemary
Seal honey and rosemary in a pint mason jar and put in a 120 degree water bath for six hours, or until the flavor is as intense as you'd like. Alternately, let it sit for several days, or put it on the stovetop over low heat until it's tasty (shouldn't take long at that temperature).
You won't use the whole pint. If you intend to store it for more than a few days, strain out the rosemary and keep it in the fridge, but once you realize how good it is poured over a sheet pan of popcorn and parked in a low oven for a while, it won't last long.
For the squash:
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4″ cubes
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup water
salt, pepper (to taste)
Melt the butter in a 12″ saute pan along with the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Let some good browning develop. Add some salt (three-finger pinch) and a few grinds of pepper and pour in the water and a couple of tablespoons of the honey. Cook down until the water is nearly gone. Remove to a plate, drizzle another half-cup or so of honey over the top, and garnish with a sprig or two of rosemary.
While WCN! may be the World's Only LIVE Radio Cooking Show (That We Know Of), we are certainly not the only radio show out there about food. Lynne Rossetto Kasper is celebrating her 20th year as the host of The Splendid Table, a weekly show from American Public Media that covers the whole world of food from chefs to farmers to scientists to home kitchens where listeners call in with their questions. Jenny and Jonathan have both been devotees of the show from very early in its run, and I think it's safe to say that our show wouldn't exist (at least not in its current incarnation) if Lynne's hadn't been there first.
So we couldn't have been more excited when she agreed to join us for an interview! In this first part, which aired as a part of our January show about inspiration, we talk about (among other things) Julia Child, kitchen disasters, when you can call yourself a professional, and the whole crazy idea of talking about cooking on the radio.
Lynne Rossetto Kasper interview (Broadcast Version)
And in this Web Exclusive, we take Kasper's classic Stump the Cook segment–in which a caller gives her five ingredients that happen to be in their fridge at the moment, and she comes up with a dish on the fly–and turn the tables, creating our own dish from what Kasper has in her fridge. After Jenny tells a story involving a fridge full of breast milk, we go hard Appalachian and emerge victorious with the Full Kilt Salad.
Lynne Rossetto Kasper interview (Web Exclusive Segment: Stump the Cook!)
In addition to her fabulous radio show, Kasper is the author or co-author of several excellent cookbooks, including The Splendid Table, How to Eat Supper, and How to Eat Weekends. Go buy them.
They say that good artists borrow and great artists steal. Find anyone who has taken a craft seriously enough to be good at it and he'll usually be happy to rattle off a list of the people who have inspired him, whether he's learned from them directly or admired them from afar. Cooks are no exception; the best cookbooks read more like biographies than anything else, tracing the path to a recipe and describing the people and influences that a dish wouldn't exist without.
This month on The World's Only LIVE Radio Cooking Show (That We Know Of), Jenny and Jonathan will talk about some of the inspiration we've found on our way. Jonathan will be paying tribute to kitchen nerd patron saint Alton Brown in advance of his appearance in Richmond next month. Jenny is reaching all the way back to the 80s for a moment of inspiration. And there will probably be cocktails.
We'll also be airing our interview with a lady who has been a huge influence to both of us–Lynne Rossetto Kasper of The Splendid Table! We talk about Julia, kitchen disasters, and what would possess someone to do something as crazy as a cooking show on the radio.

When it comes to the traditional Thanksgiving meal, most of us have a good idea in our head of what it looks like. The differences in details can be revealing and fascinating, but mostly it's variations on the traditional turkey, stuffing, cranberries, etc. But what is the traditional Christmas meal? Songs and stories tell of roast goose and figgy pudding and wassail, but when is the last time your grandmother turned those out? A lot of people have pretty much the same thing they had at Thanksgiving. But when it comes to specific foods that mean Christmas, they're different for everybody.
Wednesday on an all-new What's Cookin' Now!, we'll talk about our own Christmas traditions and those of our tasting panel and our listeners. And we'll make some foods that say Christmas to us, even if they might not say it to everybody.
That's Wednesday, December 3, 6-7PM, on 88.7 WMMT-FM! You can stream it here, and we'll have it posted to the WMMT website shortly thereafter. As always, we'd love to have you on our Tasting/Dishwashing Panel, so come on out to the station and join us!

In his song "Alabama Pines", Jason Isbell says "No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about." It sums up how I feel a lot of the time–who else cares about what technically constitutes a sandwich? Or how a sandwich should be ideally plated? Or proper strategy at a buffet? Who else thinks about surface area to volume ratio so often that the concept requires its own abbreviation (SATVR)?
Enter Dan Pashman and The Sporkful. The podcast's tagline is "It's Not For Foodies, It's For Eaters", and the focus is on how to make every bite more delicious. Dan has collected his wisdom into a new book entitled Eat More Better: How to Make Every Bite More Delicious, a textbook exploring the finer points of something we all do a few times a day every day.
He sat down for The WCN! Interview, and we discussed foodies vs. eaters (I'd consider myself both), pie vs. ice cream temperature, Thanksgiving strategy, stuffing vs. dressing, and more!
(A shortened version of this interview aired as part of our November 2014 episode.)
