    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    When I was in college I took an architecture rendering class, and there was a certain style of lettering we had to reproduce. My girlfriend and I would spend hours practicing our handwriting on the bus when we traveled from home to work and back. We would write this sentence over and over...

    Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

    I need to either step up my game or stop reading this thread! I've also started hand writing notes to my team members with my fountain pen. The company color is maroon, so I'm considering buying another pen with that color ink for such purposes.

    Slow cooked scrambled eggs on toasted croissants, topped with lox, creme fraiche and caviar. One of my favorite breakfast dishes!

    Scallops two ways: bacon wrapped scallops with a honey vinaigrette, and rosemary skewered scallops with mushroom ravioli and bacon cream sauce. I was supposed to make asparagus to go with this but I forgot to cook it. Nevertheless, it was a good start to the Christmas feasting!

    Thought’s Dad Joke Thread

    There are no divorce courts at the North Pole, so when Santa and his wife wanted to split up, they got a semicolon. They're great for separating independent Clauses.

    Anyone follow Formula 1?

    No, it's not. I normally skip the race and just watch the highlights. F1 too often turns out to be a race to turn 1 lap 1. After that it's generally predictable. I'm a fan of all sorts of racing, so I pay attention to F1 but I wouldn't say I'm a fan.

    Anyone follow Formula 1?

    Although the weekend had a tough start, I thought that was one of the more interesting races of the year. I really feel bad for Carlos, I would have liked to see him start from the front.

    Anyone follow Formula 1?

    The weekend is certainly not off to a good start. It's been interesting to follow all the driver's remarks about Las Vegas. Max doesn't realize he is fully in the entertainment business.

    Bird Watchers

    Just back from a work trip to California where I spotted two rarities. The first was a group of Snow Geese in the Mojave desert, where I spend time at the Marine Corps base in Twentynine Palms. Although there are groups of them spotted nearly every year in San Bernadino county, they are still...

    What's the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman? One is a superhero, and the other is a command!

    It would have been interesting if the rules had allowed them to check the whole field.

    Mrs_Nihon kicked me out of the kitchen and made venison chili and corn bread. She added a pepper we bought at the farmer's market and it was the perfect amount of spice. It was so good!!

    What's on your plate today?

    This morning I woke up early and decided to make a demi-glace. I watched several videos yesterday about how to do it, which traditionally starts with 10+ lbs of veal bones and mirepoix, all covered in tomato paste which is cooked for 24 hrs or more. As much as I would have loved to make that...

    What's on your plate today?

    It's a cold and rainy morning in Virginia, so I decided to cook breakfast: toasted croissant, smoked salmon, and slow-cooked scrambled eggs with Kona coffee. Defiantly worth the effort!
