    What's on your plate today?

    Beef stroganoff I made in the pressure cooker with steamed asparagus. Super simple and quick for an incredible depth of flavor.

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    A rep from the local FAA office will inspect it when I'm done with construction. They are mostly looking for proof that it was built by amateurs, but there are also some regulatory items they will be inspecting. It will be certified in a category called "Experimental Amateur Built" so that's...

    How Have Your CC Buying Habits Changed Since the Price Increase?

    If people are willing to pay $300 or more for a cigar that has more demand and supply, then good for everyone involved in the transaction. The price hike will certainly change the supply-demand ratio; who knows where it will balance. Personally, I'd never pay that price. But then again, I...

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    I have some supplies left over, maybe I'll make something like that when I get time. I've been making CF components for my plane. The instrument panel is the biggest part I've fabricated, but since then I've also made a few other consoles. My prop is also CF (I didn't make it) so it's a bit...

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    That's nice! I've been experimenting with fabricating things from carbon fiber and have been pretty happy with the results.

    This one is really interesting! I have a thing for carbon fiber.

    Ultimate Cigar Smokers Guide

    We all blame @jfields for causing the ISOM bubble. I'm pretty sure his picture is being circulated on the island. Good to see you again!

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    No kidding! I've spent the evening browsing online reviews of various instruments.

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    I had several fountain pens in college that I used for drawing and architecture classes. My wife and I (then girlfriend) used to practice our lettering on the bus ride to work for hours on end. There's something about the wet ink that makes it more like drawing than writing. I took Japanese...

    Happy Easter all!

    What's on your plate today?

    Chicken mousse with veggies. I didn't know what to do with the leftover chicken & mushroom farce I made for the chicken ballotine a few nights ago, and since it was no longer a stuffing it couldn't be a farce anymore. I wrapped the remaining mousse (which is what the farce really was) in cling...

    Anyone follow Formula 1?

    I wish I had just waited for the race highlights instead of spending the time to watch it all. It was mostly boring followed by two laps of ridiculousness. I really think the rules for working on cars under red flags need to be reviewed. The guys who decided to pit during the cautions prior...

    What's on your plate today?

    No, the mousse is in the middle of the ballotine. I didn't get the breast thin enough, so there wasn't much room for it. I'll do better next time! Under the chicken is the mushroom cream. Here's the recipe. I skipped the parsley oil. He makes a stock from the bones but doesn't use it in...

    What's on your plate today?

    I've been traveling for the past few weeks, and I binged a bunch of cooking shows while I was gone, so when I got home I decided to make something nice for the wifey. At the airport I saw a ten minute video on how to make a chicken ballotine, and after a quick trip to the grocery store I...

    Anyone follow Formula 1?

    I'm glad to see Alonso back in contending form. I followed his exploits the past few years through forrays into Indycar and SEC, and it's nice to see him back in the front of F1. Frankly, I'm just happy to see some competition at the front, regardless of who it is. Part of me is also glad...

    This is the dumbest justification for selling fake cigars that I've ever heard. Your opinion doesn't change a fact.
