A grown-up nerd with a little bit of normal
Sweet, nerdy goofball with a wicked sense of wit and a brutal love of fun. I love to laugh and enjoy making others laugh (usually this is intentional). My ideal match? I'm looking for a best friend. You have to be someone who likes to laugh and who wants to explore. I would love to meet a man who is just as comfortable arguing politics as he is watching a game or hiking in the woods. I want to meet someone who likes to have fun, can kill it at trivia nights, and really someone who simply values our time together. Embarrassing admission: I love Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and all kinds of things in that realm of nerdom. Can you keep up on an adventure with me? Zip-lining through a jungle, snorkeling along a coast, screaming your head off at a game (football, basketball, lacrosse, etc), having a fancy night in downtown? My sense of adventure takes a rest occasionally to enjoy watching a movie on the couch, walking along the creek and otherwise having a slightly more low-key time. When it's time to get out, I want to get out. Like really get out. Out of town, out of the state, out of the country. Just out. Over the last few years I've started to travel more and can't wait to do more. I've made it to Nassau, Grand Cayman, Cape Cod, Cancun, and I just got back from an awesome road trip along the Oregon coast. Beaches are my thing - I definitely need someone to take me out of my travel comfort zone to go somewhere a little more daring and exotic. I love my job - I get to work with software and have a great career I'm very proud of. It has screwed my poor little brain up though. I can't handle a grammatical error or the wrong use of words. It LITERALLY kills me. I need to confess that I need a little help. I'm just now learning to golf. I can pass the ladies' tees but still am not a pro. Someone that can help me get some more rounds in gets bonus points. I have a horrendous handicap but am having a great time learning; I don't hit too many trees! I also enjoy hiking, camping and boating, and would really like to learn to sea kayak. I read a ton, mostly fiction, and I am a pretty good cook. I just bought my first house so learning to play DIY lately. Reno hints welcome :). My ideal first date is anything but a drink or coffee.
Book club , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish
Anywhere new!
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO
I enjoy reading and I love to watch goofy monster movies and disaster movies. TV: Dexter, Better Off Ted, Bones. Music: Beck, Green Day, Coldplay, Weezer, Sublime, alternative sounds...
Downtown...The Tavern, Jackson's, Blake Street,etc. Love going to see live sporting events of any kind (NBA, NFL, UFC) I enjoy hiking, camping, reading, traveling,watching plays, goofing off, and just hanging out at home and relaxing.
I like to read, and I will read just about anything I get my hands on. I tend to go fairly nuts in bookstores on a fairly regular basis. SciFi, History, Mystery, Chick stuff...reading a lot of fiction at the moment, but my interest change often.

DeAndre Jordan/Photo courtesy of Los Angeles Clippers, NBA.com
According to a story on ESPN.com, NBA commissioner Adam Silver told reporters covering the NBA Finals in Oakland that there is little chance there will be a rule change that would prevent the intentional fouling of poor free-throw shooters like DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets.
Silver said league executives at the general managers meeting in mid-May were opposed to any changes.
"The data shows that we're largely talking about two teams, throughout the playoffs," Silver said. "In fact, 90 percent of the occurrences of Hack-a-Shaq invole the Rockets and the Clippers. And for the most part, it's two players. Seventy-five percent involve two players, DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard. So then the question becomes, should we be making that rule change largely for two teams and two players?"
Jordan, an unrestricted free agent, shot just 39.7 percent from the free-throw line this season and has just a 41.7 career percentage over seven seasons. Howard shot 52.8 percent this season and has shot 57.3 percent over 11 seasons.

Sabu bashes Big Show
It appears that we are not going to be seeing photos of Sabu and Big Show drinking beers together on social media anytime soon. The two of them apparently have backstage heat. The former ECW Heavyweight Champion posted a message accusing Show of snitching him out to management. The post has since been deleted.

Sam Shaw leaves TNA
The roster evaluation continues in TNA, and it loos like another performer has been allowed to leave the company. Sam Shaw revealed to his fans through social media that he was done with the promotion and is looking for opportunities elsewhere. While he was liked backstage, this is simply a matter of the front office wanting to go in a different direction.

Billy Corgan denies rumors
The internet wrestling community is in a frenzy right now because of all the rumors floating around about Destination America canceling all TNA programming. Billy Corgan works backstage for the company, and he decided to chime in on the situation. Through social media, he stated that the person behind the false reports is being worked by a sloppy angle. Corgan did not clarify what he meant by that, but he seemed adamant about denying the rumors.

Hulk Hogan signature sold
In a very sad story, it has now been revealed that Brutus Beefcake has sunk so low in life that he has resorted to selling autographed photos of Hulk Hogan that have fake signatures. Hogan took to social media to warn fans that he was not the one that signed those. He also stated that he never gave Beefcake anything to sell. The two of them were once as close as brothers, but some backstage heat has gotten in between them since.

WWE on AJ Lee
Since the internet wrestling community is speculating about the backstage heat towards AJ Lee, WWE decided to do a little public relations work. The company decided to thank her by doing a tribute which consists of 100 of the best photos of career with them. They even included a popular hash tag that fans have been using to thank AJ on social media sites. The belief is that there is still some heat towards the former divas champion.

Ashley Massaro returning
As some of you already know, a very mean prank was pulled on Ashley Massaro not too long ago. A person pretended to be Stephanie McMahon on social media and invited Ashley to visit backstage at Monday Night Raw. The former diva was enthusiastic because she yearns for a return to WWE. Unfortunately, though, management has not reached out to her since the incident, even though it would be a good move for public relations.

Zack Ryder and Adam Rose heat
As many of you already know, Zack Ryder is rarely utilized by WWE and Adam Rose is someone that has unfortunately gotten lost in the shuffle. The two of them, however, have been generating some interest from the internet wrestling community because it appears that they are fighting with one another through social media. The belief is that they are just playfully ribbing one another, a tradition in the business. No real backstage heat.

Lilian Garcia botches
Work was a bit rough last night for Lilian Garcia. She had a couple of botches at Fast Lane, and they were quickly picked up by fans on social media. The longtime WWE announcer became a trend online because fans caught her saying a couple of things wrong. Since management keeps a close eye on social media, there is a very good chance that they noticed the mistakes as well now. There is a small chance of her having backstage heat over this.

Alex Riley leaving WWE
The initial plans for the Royal Rumble called for Alex Riley to make his televised return. He was reportedly set to become one of the mystery entrants at the pay per view. WWE, however, kept changing up their plans backstage that night. Riley ended up being removed completely from the show. He is not at all happy about that. In fact, he even went to social media to vent and hint that he was seriously considering a departure soon.

The Rock at Royal Rumble
We are a couple of hours away from the Royal Rumble and a huge buzz has been created because of a simple tease on social media by The Rock, who happens to be in Philadelphia, the city hosting the pay per view. Reports are surfacing that he definitely has been in touch with WWE and an involvement tonight is on the plate. At the very least, he will be visiting backstage. However, management wants more than that from him.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Toxxin's RaidersDeposed as the King of Atlantis, Aquaman moves his wife, and son, into the Aquacave. Unbeknownst to the former royal family, they are followed inside by a band of aquatic zealots. Identifying Mera as a figure from prophecy, the strange, orange-scaled intruders attack. Aquaman telepathically summons all nearby marine life to aid in repelling the assault. Mera uses her ability, to create hard water constructs, to both protect her infant son, and defend herself from her attackers. Despite their valiant efforts, Aquaman and Mera are subdued, after being struck by drug-tipped darts. The zealots abduct Aquaman and Mera, leaving their infant son behind, alone in the Aquacave. Aquaman and Mera are taking to the zealots' village. Their leader, Toxxin, speaks of a creature, called "The Krakor", which holds the villagers in a constant state of fear. According to their prophecy a mermaid... Mera... will one day come to challenge the Krakor, and then be rescued by a powerful champion... Aquaman... who will lay down his life for her, in destroying the Krakor.What Toxxin's people don't seem to understand is that, in actuality, they share a symbiotic relationship with the Krakor. The monstrous plant creature merely uses the villagers as bait, to lure marine predators to it to feed upon. The Krakor has never harmed the villagers, and, in fact, is protecting them. Aquaman attempts to telepathically summon aid, but the Krakor emits a psychic aura that blocks Aquaman's signals. The villagers back away from Aquaman and Mera. Suddenly, a fleshy tendril wraps around Mera. Aquaman tries to wrench her loose, but finds himself ensnared, as well. Grasping Mera's tiara, Aquaman cuts through the tendril holding his wife, then instructs her to free him the same way. Aquaman gets Mera clear of the Krakor, then begins swimming, ever faster, around the creature's pulpy head. So swiftly does Aquaman swim, that he creates a vacuum in the water around the Krakor, suffocating it to death. Irate that Aquaman did not die, as in the prophecy, Toxxin attempts to kill the Sea King, so as not to anger the Gods. Aquaman easily defeats Toxxin, then departs the village with Mera. The villagers rejoice at their newfound freedom, no longer having to live under the shadow of the Krakor. Their freedom, though, is shared by a host of deadly predators, also free, now, to descend upon their village. En route to the Aquacave, neither Aquaman nor Mera are aware that their infant son is being held in an octopus' tentacle, his immediate fate unknown.Deadly MedicineInvestigating several suspicious suicides, at the Humboldt Institute, sensationalistic television "news" reporter, Jack Ryder, interviews Dr. Joanne Russell. a resident physical therapist, at the private hospital. Dr. Russell is, herself, the victim of an automobile "accident", that has left her paralyzed. Much to the chagrin of his employers, Ryder, on air, postulates that the suicides were, in fact, murders, and that her "accident" was very much on purpose. While chastised by a colleague, Ryder hears a piercing scream coming from down the corridor. Ryder steps outside, onto a window ledge, and transforms into his alter-ego, the Creeper. Racing to the room from which the scream emanated, the Creeper crashes in through the window. It is the hydrotherapy room. Dr. Russel, clinging to the side of the pool, is being menaced by a large figure in featureless armor. At it's feet is Dr. Russel's physical therapist, dead, with his neck snapped. The Creeper tackles the armored figure, but is easily sloughed off. The Creeper then hurls a wheelchair into the armored figure, to no effect. Resorting to hand-to-hand combat, the Creeper gets in one good shot, before he is backhanded into the pool. It is then that the Creeper realizes that, having newly lost the use of her legs, Dr. Russell cannot swim, and is in danger of drowning. Forced to allow the armored figure to escape, the Crreeper rescues Dr. Russell, then begins mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to revive her. At that moment, the police, with two hospital administrators, burst into the room. Believing the Creeper responsible for the attack on Dr. Russell, and the murder of her physical therapist, the police draw down on the Creeper. Any false moves and the Creeper is a dead man.

I've been on a quest lately to reproduce Chinese take-out at home. Stir-frys and noodle dishes provide a great way to take advantage of the fresh produce in my garden and at the farmers market. I recently bought a wok and am working on my skill with fast, high heat cooking.
My new preoccupation—getting a home wok to restaurant temps. I need to make some sort of fluted charcoal chimney. pic.twitter.com/wObV0F4eK0

The ingredients and techniques associated with Asian-American cuisine can be a little mystifying at first. But once you break it down, it's actually pretty cheap and easy. If you're just starting out, this is a great recipe to try first.
Beef & Broccoli
I think skirt steak is the most underrated cut of beef. Actually, judging by how much the price has risen lately, it might not be underrated anymore. Anyway, all you do is trim the steak of silver skin and excess fat, cut it into manageable pieces, and then slice against the grain. Toss the meat into a bowl with the corn starch and mix to coat evenly.
Meanwhile prep the vegetables and the make the sauce. If you're going to cook the broccoli stems, make sure to cut them into small, even-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate as the florets.
Just pour the oil into a hot wok or skillet. When it starts to smoke, toss the beef into the pan and cook until mostly done. It'll finish cooking in the sauce. Remove to a plate.
Add a little more oil if necessary and cook the onion. Once they're softened, add the garlic and ginger to the pan. As soon as the garlic is starting to toast, add the broccoli, beef, and sauce.
Mix well and then simmer until the broccoli reaches the desires tenderness. Serve over rice or noodles.
For years, I smoked on a cheap, portable, charcoal grill that was a hand-me-down from my father-in-law. When I moved to my new house in 2014, I treated myself to new Weber propane and charcoal grills. Even still, clung to my old method of building a simple two-zone fire in the kettle. The standard two-zone set-up technically worked, but it required constant temperature checks, rotating of the meat, and the addition of fuel throughout the cook. It simply wasn't very stable or efficient.
I've read about the fuse method (a.k.a. Minion method, coil/ snake) for years, but never got around to applying it. I had a craving for some BBQ the other day and I had a lot of work to do around the house. I thought I'd finally try the fuse method to free up my time for chores. I bought a small pork shoulder, a rack of pork loin ribs, and some beef spare ribs. The pork got a Memphis-style rub. The beef got a basic beef rub.
I wanted to test the time and stability of the fuse method, so I started my cook at around 7:00 am. The idea was to have the ribs for lunch and the pulled pork for dinner. I wanted to go simple so that I could judge the fuse method and come up with variables to play with on the next cook if it was successful.
This method is so easy. You just lay a chain of Kingsford original charcoal around the circumference of the kettle in a slightly overlapping array, being careful to leave a 1″ gap between the coals and the kettle wall for airflow. The you place another layer in that gap, allowing the coals to rest against the kettle wall. Finally, you place a third layer on top of those coals, trying to make them overlap the gaps in the layer beneath. Make sure to leave some empty space between the ends of the fuse for hot coals.
Next, place your chunks of flavor wood every few inches on top of the fuse. I alternated pecan (my favorite wood for anything low and slow) and apple chunks. Then light about 15 coals in a chimney starter. While they're ashing over, add a water pan to the center of the bottom rack of the grill. This catches drips and acts as a heat sink. When the coals are white, pour them in a mound at the beginning of the fuse and toss a wood chunk on top. Place the cooking grate over the fuse, let the grill heat up, and then clean the grate. Finally, add the meat to the grill opposite the heat source.
Every hour or so, rotate the grill grate to keep the meat opposite the flame. When I do this, I also like to spray the meat with a mopping mixture of 3 parts apple juice to 1 part cider vinegar. My fuse burned at a consistent 250° with the vents wide open. I ended up closing the top and bottom vents by about a third each and the heat settled to an even 225°. I've never maintained such a consistent temperature before.
The beef pare ribs were a gift for a neighbor who complains that he can't get good beef BBQ in South Carolina anymore. They were done in 4 hours. The baby backs were done in 5½ hours, just in time for lunch.
After ten hours, the grill temperature dropped to 200° and the fuse was about spent. The 6-pound pork shoulder was stalled at around 175°, so I wrapped it in foil and placed it in a 235° oven. This technique is known as the Texas crutch. The wife and I pulled and ate it for dinner a few hours later with a homemade, Western NC BBQ sauce.
Not only was the fuse method an overwhelming success, but it was incredibly simple. I definitely recommend this method to anyone with a kettle grill.
Notes: If I had used a round water pan, I probably could have added enough coals to keep the fuse burning for 14 total hours. Next time, I'll use pecan wood and rotate something a little stronger (like hickory) for maximum flavor. I got a decent smoke ring and a great bark, but I didn't get the deep, smoky flavor that I like in my BBQ.]]>
I know the title of this post doesn't make a lot of sense. Stir-fry is stereotypically Chinese and adding Thai ingredients doesn't change that. But foreign cultures group disparate foods together that they consider "American" (check out the Crown Crust Burger from Pizza Hut Middle East), so I'm going to do the same with pan-Asian foods.
I've been cooking a lot of Asian-inspired meals lately. My Asian market is now on my Saturday morning shopping circuit. It stems from my effort to make vegetables the star of the show and to relegate proteins to supporting-actor status. I've been making brothy soups, Chinese-American take-out fare, and all kinds of noodle dishes. What's made this so successful in my house is the varying types of sauces I've learned to make.
Because of the surprising amount of sugar in Asian-American cuisine, most store-bought sauces are too sweet for my taste. Deconstructing these recipes and experimenting with them at home has shown me how to cut the sweetness and add some savoriness. I've hit upon a great version of a Pad Thai-inspired sauce that I like to toss with sautéed vegetables and noodles.
Thai-Style Stir Fry Sauce
Here's everything you need.
I've mentioned before that I keep several squirt and spray bottles in my fridge. This recipe makes enough sauce to fill a 16-ounce squirt bottle. Just pour everything into a nonstick skillet and simmer on low to break down the sugar and tamarind. Whisk occasionally combine the ingredients.
The tamarind paste won't break down all the way, so strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve and into a squirt bottle. Then use however much you want to dress up a stir fry. The sauce will keep for 2–3 weeks in the fridge.
If you can't find tamarind paste (the peanut-like fruit of the tamarind tree), just substitute equal parts vinegar and fresh lime juice. If you can't find palm sugar (sugar from coconuts), just substitute light brown sugar.
You can alter the ratios of these ingredients to suit your personal taste, but remember that the sauce should taste sweet, then salty, then hot, then sour. And the sauce should taste a little too strong by itself, which means that it will taste right when combined with bland rice or noodles.
I typically like to stir-fry my meats until mostly cooked, and then remove them to a plate. Next, I sear my vegetables until they're mostly cooked. Finally I add my aromatics, sauce, meats, and noodles to the pan. I let it all simmer for a minute or two and then serve. It's a very easy way to cook and it's a good way to dress up a bunch of vegetables.]]>
For Valentine's Day this year, I surprised the wife with a few bleach art T-shirts. She wanted me to show her how to make them so she can demonstrate it at a meeting of her Sewing And Craft Club. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, so I decided to make a Bob Dylan T-shirt. Actually, I decided to make two shirts so that I could demonstrate the two methods of single-stage bleach art.
Bleach art is exactly what it sounds like—using bleach to make two-tone images on cheap T-shirts. It's a fun and easy project that's safe for anyone who's old enough to use an Xacto knife.
Here are the supplies you need:
To begin, print an image from the internet. I just did a Google Image Search, downloaded a picture I liked, and printed it at the right size for a large T-shirt. Next, I taped the picture to a cutting mat (you could use a kitchen cutting board or a cookie sheet) and taped a piece of freezer paper over that.
Freezer paper has a parchment side and a waxy side. You want the waxy side to be facing down and trace on the upward-facing parchment side. I actually simplified the image a little bit to make it easier to cut out.
Next, I used an Xacto knife to cut out the inner image. I'll be using both pieces of the freezer paper, so I was careful not to tear it.
Like I said before, there's a positive and negative way to make bleach art. The positive way is to use the bleach to color everything inside the stencil. The negative way is to use the bleach to color everything outside the stencil. First, let's look at how to work with a positive stencil.
You need to wash and dry your shirts beforehand to remove any coating from the manufacturing process that might interfere with the bleach. Once they're dry, iron the front of one of the shirts flat. Next, fold the shirt in half and iron it to make crease down the center. This will help with alignment. Shove a piece of cardboard inside the shirt so that the bleach doesn't seep through to the back. Since this is a positive stencil, I tape the shirt to help cover all of the fabric.
Place the stencil in the correct place and tape it to the shirt. Wrap the excess paper around the back to keep it bleach-free.
Next, iron the freezer paper to the shirt. The waxy face will melt a little under the heat of the iron, gently adhering it to the fabric. This will keep the bleach in line.
Cover any exposed shirt material with scrap cardboard. We only want to bleach inside the stencil.
Finally, spray the stencil area with an even mist of the bleach/water mixture. Resist the urge to spray too much. Time is the main factor here. The bleach will do its job. The longer you leave it on the fabric, the lighter the area will get. Only add more bleach if it seems to be fading unevenly.
It's hard to tell how much the color has faded because the fabric gets darker when it gets wet. You can remove the extra cardboard to compare the stenciled area with the unbleached fabric, but understand that it's probably faded to a lighter shade than it appears. When it's the right color, remove the tape, cardboard, and stencil, and immediately soak the shirt in bath water to stop the bleaching process.
Now let's make a negative stencil. The same set-up applies—iron the shirt face, make the crease, and stuff it with cardboard. For this shirt, we don't tape the fabric in the back. We want the whole shirt front to be exposed. Iron the stenciled piece of freezer paper that was cut out earlier onto the shirt and bleach the area around it thoroughly. We want it to fade the most in the center and darken as we move away from the stencil.
When it's the right color, remove the cardboard and the stencil and immediately soak the shirt.
Finally, wash and dry the shirts like normal laundry.
Here are the results. Notice how the black shirt faded to red and the blue shirt faded to gray. I think the negative came out better than the positive. What do you think?
The terminology seems a little confusing in this instance because I used a human face as my stencil. The positive method resulted in a negative image and vice versa. But it would have looked different if I used a solid stencil in my design. Here are some examples.
Even if you ruin a shirt, you're only out $6. How cool is that? You can make any design you want, from sports logos to holiday themes to pop culture to complex patterns. You can get more complex with layers of bleaching and varying levels of fading. It's all up to you.]]>
We had a low-key Easter this year, so we decided to make a few pizzas instead of the standard holiday fare. We usually make very simple Neapolitan pizzas, but we decided to get creative with flavor combinations this time.
Here's everything lined up and ready to go.
I usually make the dough, the wife preps the pizzas, and I man the oven. She's gotten very good at stretching the dough. I email her the topping combinations for each pizza and she pulls it all up on her phone like a restaurant ticket system. It's kind of funny, but it works.
Base: Blended (uncooked) San Marzano tomato sauce with grated garlic and kosher salt.
Toppings: Hand-shredded whole milk mozz, fresh torn mozz, hot soppressata, sliced salami, hot Italian sausage, grape tomatoes, diced red peppers, Paremsan, torn basil, dollops of chorizo ragu. This is basically an attempt to recreate the Porreca Piccante pizza at Varuni in Atlanta, which is the best pizza I've ever had.
Check out that char on the red peppers and how the tomatoes blistered and burst, releasing their sweet juice onto the spicy pizza.
Base: Olive oil
Toppings: Hand-shredded whole milk mozz, fresh torn mozz, dollops of ricotta, dollops of taleggio, soppressata, spicy Italian sausage, parmesan, basil, roasted garlic.
Check out how the soppressata and sausage crisped at the top and how the basil stayed moist because of the olive oil.
Base: Blended (uncooked) San Marzano tomato sauce with grated garlic and kosher salt.
Toppings: Lots of the leftover ingredients form the previous pizzas. Additions include sliced pepperoni and salami.
Here's the pizza in the oven. We cook our pizzas on pans until they're about done and then we place them onto the stone to get some color. Finally, we pull the pizza out with the peel. We keep them warm in the oven until they're all finished cooking. Each pizza takes about 3–5 minutes to cook, depending on how hot the oven is running.
The sliced meats crisped up very well.
It was warm enough to eat outside.
These pizzas came out super thin and were a bit soupy in the center, just like traditional Neapolitan pies. The crust was airy and we got great texture and char on the bottom. This is probably our best Neapolitan-style bake to date.
It's worth reading in full.
I've discussed some of these features before, and I advise friends and clients not to utilize them. Some marketers disagree. They argue that despite being annoying, these methods increase page views—that's why they're so prevalent. I always try to explain that their analytics fail to measure the dogs that don't bark, an expression borrowed from a Sherlock Holmes story.
What I mean is that developers who employ these annoying tricks can't tell the difference between visitors who bounce because their content is a poor fit, and those who are annoyed into abandoning the website completely. Their stats also fail to measure the people who will not return to the website because of annoying features. This is the metric that doesn't exist—the dog that didn't bark.
They have no idea how much they're handicapping their return traffic and user flow. They think that KPIs like unique visitor count and bounce rate are king. Those stats are useful, but they're nowhere near as useful as conversion rate. And even if you're a developer running a website whose only goal is to earn enough ad revenue to sustain the website, why would you stand in between your visitors and your content, waving your arms and yelling at them to look somewhere else? They came for the content. You're keeping them from consuming it. It doesn't make any sense!
This article is a good start, but here are nine more things that web developers need to stop doing:

The wife has a desk in our bedroom that she wants to use to organize all of her make-up. She asked if I would build a vanity mirror so that it's the exact size she needs.

My main problem was sourcing cherry wood. Every lumber yard I contacted focused primarily on construction woods—plywood, OSB, pine studs, pressure-treated pine, cross ties, etc. I eventually found a lumber yard and workshop that stocks all kinds of hardwoods. The best part is, it's only ten miles from my house.

They planed down an 11-foot, rough-hewn board for me. I also had them straighten one edge so that I could run it through my table saw. That's another problem. I like to roll my tools outside so that I can use my blower to scatter the sawdust. My table saw is pretty heavy and moving it is difficult to do alone. I finally got around to putting it on heavy-duty, locking casters. Now it's really easy to move in and out of the basement and it stands firm when in use. You can see my cherry board here.
There's really not much to this project. The work is 1/10th knowledge and 9/10th tools. The wife told me how big she wanted the actual mirror and I just worked backwards from that. Here's the mirror part. I just routed it to hold the mirror that I had cut to fit later. The fact that this is so easy is why I have a hard time forking over hundreds of dollars for picture frames.
I knew I wouldn't be able to exactly match the stain of the desk. This was part of my mother-in-law's childhood bedroom set, so I can't exactly run out and get a fresh can of it.
I ended up blending three stains to get a color that I thought complemented the finish of the desk. I put on two coats of stain and three coats of polyurethane.
Next I drilled 1/4″ holes in the center sides of the mirror as well as corresponding holes in the stand. I used hanger bolts with a decorative nut to tie them together. The nut tightens with a hex wrench.
There are plastic washers between the stand and the mirror to keep the wood from scraping.
Finally, I had a 1/8″-thick mirror cut for about $9. I mounted it with some clear caulk. I also added a few felt pads underneath the base to keep it from scratching the desktop. Here it is in the bedroom. The wife bought some special kind of lamp (I have no idea what makes it special) and finally moved her make-up out of the closet and into the desk.
Now I'm looking forward to using all of my cherry scraps when I make wood-fired pizza and BBQ.]]>
I cook a lot. I generally enjoy it. Still, some things have always seemed easier to buy than to make at home. Over the past few years, I've been chipping away at that notion. I've experimented with sausage-making, charcuterie, barbecue, cheesemongering, homemade pasta, homemade pizza, and a myriad of foreign foods. The elusive category that still seemed like too much work was Asian food.
Saying "Asian" is kind of a cop-out when you realize how many styles of food we're talking about, and that's before acknowledging that what most Americans think of as Asian food is about as authentic to Asia as fortune cookies. My main problem with cooking Asian-style food at home was based on three main concerns:
I generally prefer spicy, Sichuan-style Chinese food. Since I've started keeping a squirt bottle of Sambal Sauce in my refrigerator, I've come to realize that I can sauté any leftover vegetables with a little sauce and it comes out as good—if not better—than most of the stir fry I can buy at restaurants. That's largely taken the mystery out of Asian ingredients. I've also realized that mise en place has as much of an impact on wok-style cooking as high heat does. The remainder of American-style Asian cooking seems to be made up of 80% protein, 10% corn starch, and 10% cooking oil. The remaining challenge for me was making good rice.
I don't have a rice cooker and I don't want one. I don't make enough rice to justify one, and I'm not in a hurry to put any more gadgets on my kitchen counter. My breakthrough in recreating sticky white rice at home was to learn how to properly prepare Jasmine rice with coconut cream. It's wonderfully sticky and acts as a perfect complement to anything salty, sweet, or savory. I just make a big batch and keep it in the pot. When I want to reheat it for a different recipe, I just warm it in a 300° oven and I don't have to worry about it burning.
Cooking good rice makes you want to cook more Asian-style food. My go-to meal aside from Sambal chicken and vegetables is Mongolian Beef. It seems like most of the Chinese places I eat at have resorted to using less than desirable cuts of beef. Just one sinewy, inedible bite of food can ruin a meal. When you make Mongolian Beef at home, you control the quality of the ingredients. And since there are so few ingredients, this recipe is a perfect introduction to Asian-American-style cooking.
Coconut Cream Jasmine Rice
There not much to this recipe. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh sieve to wash off as much of the starch as possible, and then toss it into a pot with all of the other ingredients. Bring to a boil and then immediately reduce to a very low simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes and rest for another 15. Fluff with a fork before serving.
When you first add all of the ingredients, the rice and coconut cream combine to make a lumpy mess. But when everything comes to a low boil, it smooths out.
You'll need to scrape the bottom of the pot every now and then to make sure it's not sticking. It's fine if it does stick a little. That's just the sugars in the cream caramelizing. Don't sweat any brown bits that happen to accumulate. That's pure flavor. Despite the coconut, this does not result in particularly sweet rice.
Mongolian Beef
This recipe dirties some dishes, but it's not hard to make. Just have everything measured out and chopped before you start cooking. First, prep your vegetables.
Next, trim as much fat as possible from the skirt steak. If the steak is unevenly thick in some places, butterfly it. Slice it into 1/4″ strips, making sure to cut against the grain.
Dredge all of the cutlets in 1/2 cup of corn starch and set aside.
In a small sauce pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger. While it's simmering, whisk the 2 remaining teaspoons of corn starch into the water. As soon as the garlic is starting to brown, add the soy sauce, water/cornstarch slurry, and brown sugar. Boil for a couple of minutes to break down the sugar and then turn off the heat. This is your sauce.
Fill the bottom of a large skillet with vegetable oil. Set over medium-high heat. I do this outside on the side burner of my grill. Cook the beef strips in batches until browned on all sides. You don't have to worry about cooking the beef all the way through. It'll finish in the sauce. Remove the beef to a paper towel lined plate. Do this in batches so you don't crowd the pan.
After the beef is finished cooking, add the sliced onion, red pepper, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté until sweated through. Toss a big pinch of salt over the onions as they cook. This will draw out the water, helping to deglaze your pan. If you're lucky, there should be very little oil left. If there's a lot of oil left, remove the onions to the same plate as the beef. Pour off the excess oil and return the onions to the pan.
Add the sauce to the pan and deglaze any stubborn fond with a wooden spoon. Those browned cornstarch bits will thicken the sauce. Add the green onions and cook for a minute or two to wilt it. Finally, add the beef back to the pan and cook just long enough to make sure that each strip is cooked through.
Serve with the coconut cream rice for the best Mongolian Beef you've ever had.
UPDATE: If you're wondering where you get the cllophane noodles that pair so well with Mongolian Beef, all you have to do is buy some rice stick (dry noodles) and fry them in canola oil at 375° for 15 seconds or so, flipping once. Here's how fast it is.
The wife likes to munch on these as a snack. It's like eating strands of rice cake.]]>
One of the annoying things about cooking news and entertainment is the tendency for self-styled trend setters to equate food with fashion. Over time, good foods fall out of fashion even though they still taste great, and other foods come into fashion even though they're not so good. It's all about newness. And nothing is more fashionable than find a great new thing that's actually really old.
Whether it's Oaxacan mole or Tuscan meatballs, it's annoying to see a bunch of coastal urbanites playing at fashion-setting when they "discover" something that was never lost. It bothers me the most when they do this with southern cuisine. Those kinds of examples always seem to drip with condescension, almost as if we southerners should be commended for pausing our racism and proselytizing long enough to cook a decent meal.
Imagine my surprise when Alabama white BBQ sauce popped up out of nowhere one day and was suddenly everywhere. Commenters on TV and in magazines were raving about how they had discovered the nectar of the Gods of Dixie. As someone who grew up and went to college in Alabama, I wondered how this supposedly time-honored, state-wide tradition had never appeared anywhere on my radar. Then I found out that it was just one of several sauces that have been served at a couple of BBQ joints in Decatur, Alabama—the land of red clay, an indoor rodeo, and not much else.
White sauce no more defines BBQ in the state of Alabama than the spicy club sauce at one country club in Orange County defines appetizers in the state of California. Still, it tastes pretty good with smoked poultry, so more restaurants around the country are starting to offer it as a choice. Anything that detracts attention from the cloyingly sweet BBQ sauces of the midwest are welcome in my book.
Alabama white sauce is mayonnaise-based. I never liked mayonnaise until I moved to South Carolina and had Duke's brand mayo. I like Duke's because of the tangy, vinegar/citrus kick that it has. It tastes completely different than the national mayo brands and it perfectly complements smoked meat. That's why you see cole slaw on pulled pork sandwiches in the Carolinas. So the idea of tangy mayonnaise on BBQ isn't exactly novel, but the rebranding of it as "Alabama sauce" has certainly spurred experimentation in this area.
Anyway, I'm a huge fan of smoked chicken and turkey, so I keep a squirt bottle of white sauce in the fridge. Here's the recipe I use.
Alabama White Sauce
Just whisk everything together and let it meld in the fridge for a few hours before serving. A batch of this stuff will last months in the fridge.
I cook a lot of fancy meals, but my favorite thing in the world to eat is pan-fried slices of smoked turkey (pictured above). After Thanksgiving and Christmas, grocery stores are practically giving away unsold turkey and ham. You can get 13+ pounds of meat for the price of a footlong sandwich with 1/3 pound of the same meat. I like to pick up a turkey and smoke it just for the leftovers.
Here's the turkey I spatchcocked and smoked with pecan wood after Thanksgiving, 2014.
I usually make something like a pot pie out of the dark meat and use the white meat for sandwiches. I love to pan-fry sliced/pulled turkey (and chicken) in butter with salt and pepper until it's golden brown around the edges. Then I dip it into white BBQ sauce the way you would dip french fries into ketchup.
This is the closest I get to snacking on junk food. I tell myself it's okay to gorge on this because it's all protein. Please don't correct me.
I've been told by the wife that I'm at my least attractive when I indulge in this snack. I think it has something to do with the fact that I eat it reclined on the couch in front of the TV like an otter.
I've been trying to master the art of rotisserie roasting on my grill. In a post about homemade lemon-pepper chicken, I wrote:
Rotisserie roasting chicken is actually a relatively low-fat preparation. While healthiness is a great side benefit, the best thing about cooking whole chickens is the leftovers. And my favorite way to use leftover rotisserie chicken is to make soup.
There's something very nurturing in thick, meaty stews—especially in winter—but I also like the simplicity of thin, complex broths. Think ramen or pho. A recent issue of Bon Appétit featured a recipe for Brothy Poached Chicken with Mushrooms and Fresh Chile. This recipe makes a wonderful base for Asian-style soups. It calls for poaching whole chicken breasts to make a subtle broth. But since I have whole chicken carcasses laying around, I've started just using them to make a flavorful stock instead. Here's my version of the recipe.
Asian-Inspired Chicken Soup
Bring the water, chicken carcass (plus any uneaten whole wings and thighs), garlic, bay leaves, allspice, and salt to a low boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and then remove the pot from the heat. Spoon off any foam and grease and discard.
While the stock is simmering, prep your vegetables.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the large solids to a plate. Save any chicken wings or thighs, but throw everything else away. Filter the stock through a fine mesh sieve. Discard any small solids and then add the stock back to the pot.
Add everything else to the pot and return to a simmer. Pick any meat off of the chicken thighs and wings and toss it into the pot as well. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
The amount of mushrooms varies based on how much you like mushrooms. But having some mushrooms is essential to the flavor of the stock. Sometimes I squeeze a clove of garlic or two out of the boiled head and smash them into a paste with my knife. Then I add the paste to the pot as well. The chicken should still be moist and the stock should be thin, but complex.
This soup is simply fantastic. It's a base recipe, so you can add anything else you have on hand—herbs, vegetables, meats, noodles (especially udon, which I added to the bowl in the first picture), rice, etc. When I take leftover soup to work, I usually heat it up with the noodles from a pack of instant ramen. It makes the meal more substantial and costs next to nothing.]]>
I've always thought that cooking whole chickens and turkeys is one of the most economical ways to procure and prepare meat. These days, you can buy a whole chicken for less than the price of a standard pack of three breasts. So not only do you get more meat for the money, but you get the means to make a nice stock with the bones.
My in-laws recently gave me a rotisserie attachment for my propane grill, so I've been roasting up a storm. My favorite dish to make is lemon-pepper chicken. It's an incredibly easy rub and roast process that gets rave reviews.
Lemon Pepper Chicken Rub
Crush the peppercorns, salt, and lemon zest into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
Next, toss the paste into a bowl with the lemon juice and oil and whisk until emulsified. Herbes de provence, or any of its singular components, make good additions as well.
Then rub the mixture all over and under the chicken skin. Finally, shove the spent lemons into the cavity and truss the bird tight.
This is how you truss the bird for the rotisserie. Even if you're just going to roast your chicken in your oven, trussing is a good way to ensure even cooking. I had to truss mine a little differently because I ripped the back skin and needed to secure it.
Here's my rotisserie in action. I use a pan to catch drippings for gravy, but remove the pan for the last 20 minutes and cook over direct heat to get crispier skin.
When the chicken is almost done, I squeeze the last half-lemon over the chicken as it rotates on the rotisserie.
When the thickest part of the thigh hits 160°, remove the chicken to a plate, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes. When the juices have redistributed, carve up your bird. I usually slice off one of the breasts and the wife and I eat it with roasted vegetables and/or salad.
Rotisserie roasting chicken is actually a relatively low-fat preparation. While healthiness is a great side benefit, the best thing about cooking whole chickens is the leftovers. And my favorite way to use leftover rotisserie chicken is to make soup.]]>
As I've mentioned many times, my family makes presents for Christmas. Unless the wife and I are making consumables, we usually split up the assignments and make gender-specific gifts. Everyone's married, so it all goes to the same house anyway. This year, the wife made chevron infinity scarves for the girls and I made bottle openers for the guys. I didn't invent this; I saw this idea somewhere on the internet years ago and thought it was a cool idea.
This is an easy project that anyone can do. I added some flourishes here and there, but those can be omitted if you don't have the tools. I envision this being used on porch railings or in basement workshops, so I went with outdoor-friendly cedar. I couldn't find a 1″ x 4″ length (which is really ¾" x 3½") of cedar wood, so I bought a wider piece and ripped it down to 3 ¼" with my table saw. Then I cut that board into eight 9″ segments.
The cedar has a rough face and a smooth face. I wanted the rough face to be the front simply because it's more interesting. Next, I drew a line 2½" from the bottom across the backs of the wood pieces. Then I used a forstner drill bit to cut a hole almost all the way through the wood at the center of the line. I didn't get a picture of this step, but you'll see it later.
After that, I routed a simple 45° angle along the front edges of each piece for decoration. Then I drilled screw holes ¾" down the center of the top and the bottom of each piece for mounting later. Finally, I hand-sanded every side of each piece
I wanted it to look finished, so I stained the front of each wood piece with Minwax Early American Stain. This gives it an faux antique look that will age well. That said, the cedar would age to a nice gray if left unstained. That would look good too.
When the stain was dry, I rubbed the face and sides of each piece with one thin coat of satin finish polyurethane. Once that dried, I super-glued two neodymium magnets (1″ X 1/8″) in the center of my hole on the back. These things are crazy strong. You won't believe it until you try to separate them.
Then I attached some vintage-looking bottle openers on the front of each piece. That was it. Here's how it works.
$16 for the wood
$28 for 20 magnets
$36 for 8 bottle openers
$80/8 = $10 per bottle opener.
I already had the drill bit (that's why the hole is much bigger than the magnets), the stain, and the poly, but those would add around $25 to the project of you had to buy them. That would make the bottle openers come out to about $13 each. Not too bad, right?
I paired these gifts with a six pack of local beer (or an assortment of soft drinks for the non-drinkers), meaning that each gift cost less than $20 total.]]>
I love buffalo wings, but I hate deep frying at home. It's a huge pain in the ass to maintain the temperature of the oil, drain the fried food, and then strain and re-bottle the excess oil. It takes up a ton of counter space and generally results in a lot of dirty dishes. That's why I rarely deep fry anything anymore.
I stumbled upon an oven-fried wings recipe at Serious Eats and have been experimenting with it for a while.
Almost complete, even if Payton Manning's passes aren't. pic.twitter.com/SqTGBspWLz
— Chad Chandler (@chad_chandler) February 3, 2014
The recipe calls for using corn starch, kosher salt, and open refrigeration to mimic the crunch you get from deep-frying chicken skin. I'm pretty sure the technique was pioneered by America's Test Kitchen. As long as I'm not impulsively craving wings, this is the recipe I've come to rely on.
The original recipe calls for using equal parts baking powder and kosher salt, but I've found that combination produces overly salty wings. Over several batches, I tried reducing the amount of salt until I pretty much omitted it. As long as the wings were allowed to dry out properly in the refrigerator, they came out perfect every time.
Baked Buffalo Wings
Toss the baking powder and wings in a bowl until the powder is evenly coated. You may have to divide the wings into batches to do this.
Line a baking tray with foil. Spray a heavy layer of non-stick cooking oil on a grate and arrange the chicken so that no two pieces touch.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 18 and up to 30 hours. I let some wings go for 48 hours once and they were unpleasantly dry. 18–30 hours seems to be the sweet spot. Here they are after drying out in the fridge.
The rendering fat from the chicken skin creates a lot of smoke when cooking, so I cook the wings outside on my gas grill. I just preheat it to around 450° and plop the baking sheet right on the grates. After 20 minutes, I flip the wings and rotate the tray. After 15–20 more minutes, the wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°.
This Vine shows you how crispy the wings come out. If you enable the audio, you can hear the crunch. If you didn't tell people that you baked these, they would assume they were deep fried.
What really turns chicken wings into buffalo wings is the sauce. The original buffalo sauce was invented at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. It was made up of 3 parts Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce combined with 2 parts melted butter. You can play with the heat level of the sauce by changing the butter ratio. I'm partial to Crystal Hot Sauce myself, so I usually use that insread of Frank's.
There are other sauces that make great chicken wings. I keep a squirt bottle of Sambal sauce in my refrigerator when I want a sweet and spicy kick. It gives crispy, buffalo-style wings a thai flavor. Sometimes I hot-smoke the wings on my charcoal grill and toss them with some Alabama-style white sauce that I also keep in my refrigerator. They all taste great and provide different flavor profiles.]]>

Emergency preparedness gift guide
Recent events no doubt have made us keenly aware of the importance of being prepared. In the wake of superstorm Sandy, many of us were left without power or heat, and some tragically without homes. So this year, if you really love someone, you might consider giving him or her the gift of warmth, light or safety. They'll thank you now, and likely bless you later. (Items that may be sold out now because of recent high demand are either expected to be restocked or can be ordered for receipt in time for the holidays.) -- Jessica Damiano

Philippines - Last active: 10 days ago - Tests: 9
Customer interaction has been a very interesting field for me. I've chosen to be the conduit of customers to their desired products or services for 7 years. My experience has given me the ability to find out what the customers need and want, match those with the appropriate product or service, while putting my company's interest first. I was involved in customer service by helping people find out the telephone numbers that they need and recommending other options in case they don't get their desired result. Some examples would be customers needing telephone numbers to healthcare establishments, places to dine, re-routing emergency calls to the best response solution possible, or even simply having the ultimate movie experience. Consultative sales and marketing has also been one of my strongest suits. This involved working my way from the grassroots level all the way up to closing a purchase. I loved the whole process of generating leads, consultative selling, and developing accounts. In a short while, I was able to be a consistent top performer. My passion for giving customers what they need paved the way for my stint as a sales team manager, a role that gave me a chance to showcase my mentoring skills. I was able to equip my team with the right selling tools and achieve my sales goals at the same time. On a lighter note, I've been through behavioral safety training, compliance safety training, and a rigorous sales academy course. In a nutshell, I'm an achiever because of my high energy, extremely motivated, passionate about my craft, results-driven, a sales and marketing professional, a natural at customer service, an excellent communicator, a leader, an effective presenter, a tactical negotiator, a lover of challenges, and with keen abilities in planning, goal setting, and strategy implementation.

is area 51 a secret military base for storing UFO's or is it a toxic and nuclear waste dump??
"Sixty Minutes" did a segment where Leslie Stahl suggested that area 51 might be an illegal dumping ground for toxic substances. If so, Area 51 might turn out to be hazardous to your health in more ways than one. Several former workers at Area 51 and widows of former workers have filed lawsuits against the government for injuries or death resulting from illegal hazardous waste practices.
maybe that's why you might get shot if you go near the base.
what do you think???
