    A Michelin Starred Restaurant

    Something weird happened with the alignment of the planets or something. My bride has wanted to go to a Michelin starred restaurant ever since binge watching a show on Netflix(?) during the covid lockdown, about the stories of Michelin chefs. It turned out that we had planned an out of town trip...

    Pan Searing Fish

    I think there is a difference between frying and searing, but I freely admit I'm not well educated on the matter. I'll start by drying the fish at room temperature and seasoning with some Paprika and lemon. what I've been doing is using a lot of butter---almost brown--- to caramelize the surface...

    Pan Searing Fish

    Pan searing tends to bring out the best of thick fillets, and to be truthful, I've never received any formal instruction when it comes to this method. I attribute any success I've had to simply using a lot of butter and not overcooking. If you do a lot of pan searing fish, how exactly, do you...

    In-house Pipes from Iconic Shops

    Let's not forget Disneyland pipes. Way back when, Walt had a tobacconist shop on Main Street in Disneyland and they had their own pipes and tobacco.

    Your Epitaph

    I'm so full of nitroglycerin if they tried to cremate me I'd take out a city block. which isn't nearly as violent as cremation it's self. I was once a student pilot and building hours was paramount. To build my hours, I'd pick up cremains fresh out of the grinder at a local funeral home, take...

    Any Alpine Skiers?

    It's a great year for snow! Who else here skis? What and where are your favorite ski areas? Small, but classic. Once long ago it was considered to host a Winter Olympics but a little town in New York called Lake Placid beat us out. It's where I learned how to ski. I was fortunate to be hired...

    What Are You Drinking? January 2023

    Good Brandy. The last of the bottle in fact. Over a couple of ice cubes. 'Cause that's the way I roll.

    I Suspect Most Of Us Are Not Average

    21 for certain, plus I saw Pike's Peak but didn't make it to the top because of weather. I did get to Pearl Harbor, Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) The Smithsonian, and Mt. Vernon, which should count for something.

    70th Anniversary of Roman Holiday

    We saw it at a theater last night. Delightful! Apparently Paramount threw a fit because it was filmed in Rome against the studio's wishes so it was filmed in B&W instead of color. It's a good thing Rome looks great in B&W!
