Bay Area Pub Crawl on Sunday!
February 16, 2007 · Leave a Comment
The WetYourWhistles team is arranging a Pub Crawl this Sunday, February 18. The party kicks off at 3pm at the BBC in Menlo Park. The crawl will also hit the Tied House in Mountain View and the Firehouse Brewery in Sunnyvale!
From the WetYourWhistles site:
Welcome to Wet Your Whistles, the on-line guide to watering holes along the San Francisco Bay Area Caltrain railway line. You can ride Caltrain from San Jose to San Francisco to have a good day out without designating a driver. Our quest is to create a comprehensive list of brewpubs, microbreweries, bars, and well-stocked restaurants along the Caltrain line.

Coca Cola Blak
April 23, 2006 · Leave a Comment
I bought a 4 pack the other day and I’m just giving it a try now. Not bad. The taste is much lighter than regular Coke and it’s not as sweet. The coffee flavor mixes well. Almost like vanilla, but not overwhelmigly so. I’ll post again in a few days when I’ve finished the pack.

The Diet Coke and Mentos phenomenon rages on. We tried 4 bottles yesterday at Homestead. Here’s a shot of the action:
Update: Here’s a howto and some of the science background.
Update 2: The photo was taken by Gordon. Travis sent me this excellent video of 5 trials of the Soda+Mentos experiment on a news show.

Alton Brown’s Pouch Table
May 11, 2005 · 7 Comments
Found here.
QUOTE:
This is the big table that was shown on the Good Eats episode “The Pouch Principle.” You had to look really fast to see the last few items on the liquids list… or have a TiVo. 
| Meat (Choose one) |
Vegetables (any) |
Starch (optional – choose one) |
Aromatics (< =2) |
Seasonings (any) |
Liquids (mix/match) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| beef
pork lamb fish shrimp chicken etc. |
mushroom
artichoke tomato peppers snow pea broccoli bok choy |
rice
noodle potato dumpling cous cous |
onion
garlic scallions shallot celery fennel carrots |
red pepper
white pepper honey salt pepper coriander cilantro lemon parsley |
soy sauce mirin veg. broth sesame oil vermouth white or red wine chicken stock fruit juice fish sauce |
The quantity notes were per Alton’s commentary.
Based on my experience with starchy/sugary vegetables in pouches (potato, parsnip, carrot, onion, garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, fresh rosemary and thyme, bake at 350F for about an hour), if you’re cooking mainly starch/sugar, USE A FAT TO KEEP THE VEGGIES FROM STICKING. Trust me, chunks of potato permanently stuck to the aluminum foil are not edible. Also, if you’re using a higher (say, >5%) acidity vinegar, don’t use aluminum foil. Also goes for acidic veggies (like tomatoes). Finally, if you look at the list and connect the dots, you’ll notice that you can create a significant number Asian wok and noodle dishes with this table. What you can’t see is that you can create pretty much any salmon dish that doesn’t require searing. Old Seattle trick is to put salmon, dill, and lemon in aluminum foil, seal it tightly, and run it through the dishwasher (top rack). I am not making this up. (Some argue you need to run through two complete cycles, while others say no heat dry.)
