Dude comes across as pompous a lot of times...

Are you sure you're not talking about Bobby Flay? He's an annoying and pompous jerk, not Alton.

Right on. :victory:

Like I said: Cooking, geek style. :mrgreen:

That's another one...I definitely agree that fool is straight up conceited.
I do watch some Food Network programming but not much...Mario Batali is pretty good and he's pretty laid back despite his stunning success. Just to cite an example.

In any event, truth be told, I'd rather watch The Dotch Ryori Show :mrgreen:

If anybody is interested in seeing Anthony Bourdain eat and drink in his recently aired episode of No Reservations Tokyo I've uploaded the entire episode from the Travel Channel HD.

He eats and drinks in various places throughout Tokyo...soba, yakitori, sushi (at Sukiyabashi Jiro), monkfish at Iron Chef Morimoto's flagship restaurant in Tokyo, and he has kaiseki ryori in Kyoto.

He also explores Tokyo's back alleys and drinks at a hidden nomiya (bar) in Nonbei Yokocho (roughly translated as Drunkard's Alley or Street for Drunk People) in Shibuya. Pretty cool stuff!

If not, try downloading Windows Media Player Classic or BS Player...they should be able to play an .mkv file....it works for me.

Sorry that was the only encode that I could find on the web. :sweat:

Doesn't WMP Classic come with Windows? :headscratch:

VLC Player should handle .mkv also.

Oh yeah I forgot about VLC player...good recommendation! :)

No, not Windows Media Player.... Media Player Classic: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Media_Player_Classic

It trumps WMP in every way, shape, and form. :victory:

Yeah I use it a lot.

Oh, I was thinking of the basic media player that comes with Windows.

No one said it wasn't tasty...just that it isn't the healthiest thing in the world. ;)

Made this for one of the parental units.

Grilled Flank steak marinated in soy sauce, honey, garlic, and rosemary with some Enoki mushrooms wrapped in Prosciutto di Parma and a side of All-American potato salad. :victory:

No fried chicken embryos?? :beaten: :hehe:


Seriously, yet another tasty looking dish from the resident epicure. :victory:

I'm pretty opened minded when it comes to food but that might be a bit outside my preferred frame of reference :beaten:

I think it came out pretty good. ^_^

Easy too. Just mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a ziploc...throw in the flank steak and let it soak up the marinade for 2 hours and simply grill for about 10 min. :)

Omg, marry me, please!! I always wanted to find a guy who loves to cook so I don't have to. :beaten:

Haha...nice plan you have there. I dunno I find cooking quite fun and it allows me to zone out and forget my troubles for a moment. It doesn't hurt when it comes out tasty and puts a smile on someone's face too. :)

I doubt I cook as well as you but I find it fun to experiment with new recipes. :)

Haha, maybe I should hang out at some restaurant or cooking school to find someone. :hehe:

I really dislike cooking and I'd rather buy plate lunches or I sometimes steal stuff from my mom's. :sweat: I sometimes think of signing up for a cooking class so maybe I could get some motivation to cook. I usually make really simple stuff like tonkatsu and the last thing I made was this oven-baked chicken with cornflakes and Cap'n Crunch, which was not bad at all. I need to learn how to do more Asian cooking because I find it to be lighter and tastier. Maybe I should get more cooking advice from my mom.

I find cooking can be quite fun and relaxing.

I'm sure your mom would impart some worthwhile information. I scour the net sometimes and look for simple recipes...if something strikes my fancy I'll print it out or bookmark it to try at some future date.
