    Beaker's cooking laboratory

    I figure if Nuts can have a video thread I can have a thread about the stuff I love.

    COOKING

    I know we have some other foodies in the place. Beast and Squid and Camel come to mind. Palooka no posting about tuna fish and green beans!

    So here's what I've been craving.

    Jack Daniels chocolate sauce
    8 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate
    1/2 cup butter
    3 tablespoons Jack (if Swae is around might put in a LOL more and hide the bottle)
    3/4 cup corn syrup
    3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
    combine everything but the cream and melt either in a double boiler or carefully in the microwave stirring often and Don't scorch the chocolate!!!!
    Add the cream stir it up

    Now pour it on stuff and enjoy!

    I suggest cake or icecream or strawberries

    I love cooking - especially when someone else is doing it.

    My wife watches alot of the Food TV shows.. and I occasionally watch Iron Chef America, etc. But if I had to eat what those people make... I'd be a size 2. Once they start making pate out of liver or start making lobster ice cream contraptions - I'm ready to hurl. I'm not into the FiFi Foods. Give me a great BBQ (steak, chicken, ribs, etc) or some good Italian and I'm happy.

    Food...now yer talkin'. For starters, I refer you to my website:

    Squidly's projects...

    Warning...There's some "FiFi" stuff going on. As an example, the sea bass is pretty "stuffy", but it's incredibly delicious and worth the effort. The sweet potato agnolotti is borderline orgasmic.

    Tonight I'm making homemade pasta and a bolognese sauce.

    I'm more into "gourmet comfort" foods than anything very fancy. I'm also an avid follower of Squidly's experiments--I've attempted to replicate more than one (to positive results, I'm proud to say!) Sadly, I'm not even the best cook in my family, or even the second best....happily, that means I eat well wherever I go.

    Talk about OC. I've re-edited all seven seasons (except season 3) of America's Test Kitchen and cut them together into clips of individual recipes, so I can refer back to them without all the extra BS.

    Around Christmas time I put together a cooking DVD and give them to people. Last Thanksgiving I made a DVD of various ways to do turkey and gravy for my friends who are "culinarily challenged."

    I've pretty my given up on the Food Network, except for Alton Brown.

    Couple of food blogs I like to frequent are Michael Ruhlman's and Bob Del Grosso's.

    Alton Brown and "Good Eats" is the best show on the Food Network. Period.

    I find "Unwrapped" to be worthwhile as well.

    I TIVO Mario's show on the "Fine Living" Network. It's good for inspiration.

    Damn good inspiration. Mario's parents have a deli in Pioneer Square, Salumi, probably one of the finest in the country. All their meats are made and cured on premises. They live across the street from me and I see them from time to time in the Market. Very nice people.

    I highly encourage you to go there the next time you're in town. A couple of years back Mario cooked there for an afternoon a did a book signing. Good stuff.

    Yeah, the Bolognese I made last night was from one of Mario's recipes (see the website.) I admire his historical knowledge.

    Bill Buford wrote a good book which I recommend called "Heat". He worked in Mario's kitchen at Babbo, and then went on to retrace the steps Batali took in Italy.

    I love the "Shrimp of the large variety."

    That's awesome.
