Pretending to be a cook
Pretending to be a cook
03/28/2005 10:14 AMProgress on learning to cook like a proper human being has been
slow because I've been so busy the past month or so. But baby steps
are better than no steps at all and in the past weeks, I've tackled
cheeseburgers and pancakes. (Ok, you can stop snickering...I said
*baby steps*!)
The first time I tried frying up a burger, I filled my apartment
with the thick smell of burning cow flesh. Ok, medium heat then. After
that initial misstep, I got it down. Burger goes in the pan, flip it
once or twice, slap on a piece of cheese, and stick it on a bun with
lettuce, sliced raw onion, thinly sliced tomato (there can be no going
back to thickly sliced tomatoes now that I've done thin), mayo, and
ketchup. I've eaten better burgers, but I've never had one that was
more satisfying than one I've cooked myself. I can't wait until summer
rolls around...I'm going to get a little grill and have some friends
round for a BBQ** in the backyard.
The pancakes, oh, the pancakes were way yummier, fluffier, and
moister*** than I would have ever expected from a novice cook working
without a measuring cup on a halved recipe. I'm a fucking
pancake-making natural!
** Hello to my readership south of the Mason-Dixon. When you grow
up in Wisconsin, BBQ (or barbeque) means any meal cooked on a grill,
regardless of the presence of slow-cooking, smoked meat, or some kind
of sauce. Apologies to you and your delicious cuisine for my
unfortunate regional vernacular.
*** Oh, it's a word
alright.

Cosmic Painter is a GPLed MacOSX application that allows you to paint
on a "spinning" canvas, screating a Spir-O-Graph-like effect, which is
then animated. The results are, well, trippy. I just fell down a
rabbit hole looking at and playing with the samples.

In support of Robin Cook...
03/19/2003 10:24 PMFor those Americans amongst our company who may not know who he is,
Robin Cook was, until this morning, Leader of the House of Commons. He
was a high-placed member of the British cabinet, and an ex-Foreign
Minister. Today he resigned in protest at what he believes to be the
innappropriate rush to go to war without the support of our
international allies. He gave a rousing and intelligent speech in the
House of Commons that has been circulated on all the UK TV stations,
and which received a standing ovation from his colleagues. I can't as
yet find a transcript online, but I've found a RealAudio version from the BBC. I advise everyone to watch it.
Addendum: Here's a transcript
of the speech from the BBC.

Holiday present for an aspiring cook
Holiday present for an aspiring cook
12/19/2004 03:21 PMOver the next few weeks, I may or may not continue to recommend things
I love for your holiday gift consideration. But today I offer Tom
Colicchio's Think Like a Chef. Mr. Colicchio is chef/owner of both
(the amazing and yummy!) Gramercy Tavern and Craft, in New York City.
This cookbook is less about recipes -- though it certainly has them --
and more about cooking technique and philosophy, enabling the reader
to actually learn by doing rather than simply follow a list and
instructions. I've found it very useful and informative and it's
quickly become one of my favorites on my cookbook shelf. When I
started working in the kitchen this past fall, I was surprised to find
how much I already knew. This book contributed to my knowledge and
made my transition from aspiring amateur to aspiring professional that
much easier. A great gift for someone who really does want to learn
how to, "think like a chef."

Cook Quits Over Iraq Crisis
Cook Quits Over Iraq Crisis
03/19/2003 10:27 PMDavid Mitchell, a 38 year old cook from South London, dramatically
quit his high-school canteen job today in a personal protest over the
looming war in Iraq.
According to a press release later
issued by Mitchell, he took his dramatic action following the decision
yesterday by the US, UK and Spanish governments to give Saddam Hussein
one final day to comply with UN Convention 1442. Mitchell, who had
been employed by Vauxhall Education Authority for 6 years, took his
kitchen co-workers by surprise with his anti-war outburst shortly
after 9am this morning.
"I'm fed-up to the back teeth with
the oppressive and imperialistic stance that the US and British
governments have taken over this bleedin' Iraq issue." said Mitchell
in a prepared press release. Mitchell went on to say, "It's about
bloody time people took a stand against this unfair and unlawful
action and I for one feel very strongly about this however, I do very
much regret that my actions today could mean that many of our pupils
will not be able to benefit from a full and nutritious menu this
lunchtime. I just hope that the kids don't hold it against me and that
history will prove to be my judge."
Mitchell gave his
employers little notice of his intention to walk out and school
headmaster, Reg Harris OBE, was said to be somewhat "Distressed and
shaken" at the prospect of a limited lunch menu on a Monday,
notoriously the most depressing day of the week for many schools.
Arrangements were being made to provide counseling for pupils unable
to cope with the fact that chips would now be off the menu for the
foreseeable future. Mitchell was unavailable for further comment.
James Cook and the Transit of Venus
James Cook and the Transit of Venus
05/28/2004 03:14 AM?On August 12, 1768, His Majesty?s Bark Endeavour slipped out of
harbor, Lt. James Cook in command, bound for Tahiti. The island had
been ?discovered? by Europeans only a year before in the South
Pacific, a part of Earth so poorly explored mapmakers couldn?t agree
if there was a giant continent there ? or not. Cook might as well have
been going to the Moon or Mars. He would have to steer across
thousands of miles of open ocean, with nothing like GPS or even a good
wristwatch to keep time for navigation, to find a speck of land only
20 miles across. On the way, dangerous storms could (and did)
materialize without warning. Unknown life forms waited in the ocean
waters. Cook fully expected half the crew to perish. It was worth the
risk, he figured, to observe a transit of Venus.?
