Media access to The International Summit
on Democracy, Terrorism and Security
03/14/2005 05:54 PM
The International
Summit on Democracy, Terrorism and Security organizers have
restricted press access. The press are restricted to a separate area
and don't have access directly to the conference. This is one case
where bloggers are lucky not to be considered "press". Having said
that, I think they should give the press access to this conference. I
guess they can join the IRC channel or read our blogs...
Unfortunately, I'm too busy participating to be blogging it well
right now. I hope SOMEONE is blogging this.
David Weinberger: As Jon Stewart would say, "Washington Post - You
read it here 12th."
UPDATE: I appears that too many press were invited and the couldn't
all fit. It appears that the root of the problem is a logistical one
rather than restriction for the sake of it...
Our workshop on Friday is supposed to be broadcast live on CNN.
I'll post more details when I have them.

08/06/2004 11:50 AM Having grown up with an electric coil-element stove (no quick
temperature control, uneven heat, blech), and having enjoyed cooking
with gas later on, I was always satisfied that gas cooking was the
best possible method: the smell of lighting matches, the satisfying
paff of a new flame, the vague sense of danger. All that
heat.
We just moved to a house with no gas hookup, however, and being
unwilling to truck to the store for bottled propane every few days, we
needed, like Bob Zimmerman in the days of yore, to go electric.
So we bought an induction cooktop. The idea is pretty seductive:
instead of making something hot and then transferring that heat to a
cooking surface, you remove one step and simply heat the cooking
surface, via magnetic induction. Far more efficient, as there’s
less heat lost to the environment, and thus far more appealing when
cooking in summer.
Whereas on our old gas stove bringing a couple litres of water to
a rolling boil took about ten minutes, and bringing it back to a boil
after tossing in noodles or frozen peas or whatever would be several
minutes more, this baby just screams: the same pot of water boils in
about three minutes, and it stays boiling. In fact when cooking
noodles you need to crank it down unless you enjoy gluten foam
erupting all over the place.
Of course a gas oven was impossible as well, so we got one with a
convection fan. Still getting the hang of that.
THIS IS THE RECIPE PART
The quest is for a lot of fast heat for browning (which as you
know is where all the flavour comes from), and fast dry heat in the
oven for roasting.
Plan on a single, trimmed, good-sized duck breast for every two
people coming to dinner. By trimmed, I don’t mean with the fat
and skin cut off. You want the fat and skin. Yes you do.
You also want char siu sauce: the stuff that flavours the BBQ pork
and duck hanging in the windows of chinese restaurants (the pork gets
its bright purple colour from food dye). The flavour is entirely
unmistakeable: honey sweet, with five-spice and star anise and other
distant things. I’m sure there are recipes for making the sauce
yourself, but as it’s cheaply available in jars, to do so would
be like making your own ketchup.
A day in advance, put the duck breast(s) in a ziploc bag with a
generous pour of char siu sauce, squish and squodge until it’s
all evenly distributed, squeeze out the air and let sit, zipped, in
the fridge.
Now, for the browning, you’ll need quantity of fat for the
pan; oddly enough the ideal fat for browning duck is duckfat. Rendered
duckfat is right below butter and cream in the canonical hierarchy of
reasons why a fat-free diet is for knobs. I once read some words about
how it’s rich in ‘good’ cholesterol and
anti-oxidants or something, but it’s so good I’d use the
stuff even if it were guaranteed to make your toes turn blue. Try an
egg fried in about a quarter inch of it, with the fat spooned over top
of the yolk until it becomes milky-translucent. And O mama: potatoes
fried in duck fat.
Get the pan and oven as hot as possible, melt a couple soup spoons
of fat in the pan, and lay the duck breasts in, skin down. The key
thing here is browning, so don’t go muddling things up with
tongs or spatula: just leave it be for a good few minutes, then check
to see that the skin is crispy-bown. Once it is, transfer the duck
breasts to a plate, drain off the burnt fat, then, skin-up, place
dinner back in the pan.
Baste with char siu sauce: thick swathes of it from your basting
brush, and into the oven it goes. Depending on the thickness of the
meat and the heat of the oven, the entire roasting time
shouldn’t be more than 10-12 minutes. Baste with sauce every two
or three. During this time the remaining fat on top of the meat will
continue to caramelise and render its goodness downwards. Things at
this stage tend to smell rather good.
Once out of the oven, let the duck breasts rest on a carving board
for at least ten minutes, before slicing crosswise every four
millimetres with a bitter-sharp carving knife. If you don’t have
a really sharp knife, get out of the kitchen.
Serve with some nice white rice, or some egg noodles fried in
peanut oil, and some broccoli sauteed in garlic, let’s say.

« Power lines on mustikkamaa. »
Aside from the cantankerous lift at work and the black eye that has
gone from red to purple to yellow, I have also sported a huge knob on
my head from bumping my head countless times Sunday on the pygmy
height range hood in the kitchen which proceeded to be topped by a
giant zit. I must also be providing great comedy for the building
security guys as I can't get the bunker door to the machine room open,
even when gripping with my hands and putting both feet on the wall.
People in the park enjoying the weather get free comic theatre when
Otava, after a week of not getting to play while his leg heals, tries
desperately to play with a familiar puppy and pulls me along like a
rag doll. I feel like I could be part of the circus freakshow or maybe
a stop on the Helsinki by bus tour. All I need now is some bright
spandex and a catchy name.
Black sausage will never be the same again as there is Musta Makia
Salmiakkimakkara. I like salmiakki and sausage, but together? I'm
willing to try anything once but I'll have to find a package of them
first.
There's a new Helsinki
outdoor map that now has markings for dog parks [yay!], rug
washing areas, skate ramps, swimming pools, miniature golf,
cooking/grilling facilities, etc. along with the bike paths. Of
course, all the usual places I stopped to get a copy of it were
completely out of stock because it was mentioned in the paper on
Sunday and demand has exceeded initial production. There is an online version of
the map, but it still has the 2002 version instead of the new one.
So, hopefully I'll be able to get a copy before winter. Hrmph.
And I'm obsessing over the princess cake this week since the pastry
cream pissed me off and I've been finding more information about it
around the net. I've noticed many of the local bakeries use the 3rd
layer of cake as the top over the dome of cream which makes the cake
more stable and easier to cut as well as reduces the amount of filling
and marzipan required. So I'm going to try making another this weekend
for Jarkko's birthday with the cake dome, a lighter maitorahkaa and
cream filling, low sugar/just fruit raspberry jam and overall less
sugar and see what happens. I'm going to get foam corners for the
range hood this time. :)
