GM's thread about nothing (25 Viewers)

I bought a Sobe on the way into work this morning. As I was drinking it I thought it tasted bad. The expiration date was May 09, 2011. Am I going to die?

In before the juice snobs

 
If I might brag on the talented Mr. krista for a minute...yesterday he got a call from someone at the hands-down best restaurant in Memphis (which is not as close to being the tallest midget as you might think, as this place is led by a James Beard semifinalist, Food & Wine best new chef winner), Restaurant Iris, offering him a job. He accepted today and starts tomorrow (he'll keep his other job for a couple of weeks, too). This is positively huge for someone who only started cooking professionally about six months ago. :excited:
Awesome!Congrats to Mr. Krista!

 
OH would love the challenge of cooking for a GMTAN cornhole.
I challenge him to a fried cheese curd cookoff.
Accepted.I will crush you.Last week I made a fresh goat's milk marscapone-ish thing at work for laughs (our local goat cheese purveyor--the excellent Bonnie Blue Farms--gave us a few quarts of goat's milk. I was bored and never before worked with goat's milk.)and it was truly awful. The lemon and salt that one uses to make marscapone doesn't work well at ALL with the tangy goatiness of the milk--makes it taste like sour garbage. BUT--I remembered once having chevre' with a raspberry vinaigrette and it tasted great. So I took the other two quarts of goat milk and steeped in it a handful of IQF raspberries and some chervil, strained it, salted it, heated it up very slowly, and added a bit of raspberry vinegar and vegetable rennet to get it to curdle. Let it simmer until I got some nice, fat curds, and dumped the works into a perforated hotel pan lined with some cheese cloth. Put another hotel pan on top of the works and weighted it down with whatever the hell happened to be near me and could fit into a hotel pan (in this case, it was a few gallons of pommace-grade olive oil). Put the whole mess in the walk-in cooler and forgot about it for a while. Remembered it 48 hours later and checked it out. Pulled out a shiny, slightly pink, dimply sheet of pressed goat curds that were as firm and waxy as a deli provolone, but slightly porous and inconsistent in texture. It tasted pretty good--not nearly as good as the BBF chevre', but still pretty good and pleasantly raspberry-ish. So I cut the sheet into squares, coated a few with flour, egg-wash, and a mixture of panko and toasted, ground pine nuts. Fried 'em crispy in a sautee pan, served them to some of my coworkers with an arugula salad, lardons, and a raspberry vinaigrette made by taking the raspberry reduction we use for some desserts and whisking in cider vinegar. It was a good lunch. The servers liked it, and my chef was able to use some of the curd squares for vegetarian specials. That was the first time I ever tried to fry a curd and a handful of people payed actual money for the privilege of eating it.I will crush you.
Pretty sure you're screwed shuke.
 
Truck is on fire in the Bernie Fine/Syracuse molesting thread, specifically page 7. Why doesn't he post in here anymore? GMTAN timeout?

 
Does Amazon.com have a phone number? I need help.
No, but they have always been fairly responsive via email for any issues I have had.
Okay, I'll go that route. I need to order 38 copies of the same book (hardcover, not digital) and want to ensure they have that many in stock. :unsure:
It can take longer to answer an email than it can take to deliver an order. Order it Prime and check shipping the next day- if its not on the way, they do not have it in stock. And delayed delivery is a valid reason for them to cancel the order of give you a refund. If you don't have Prime- get it.

Or you can use my logon to contact them by phone. Call me if that's what u want to do and I'll provide you with my logon info.
 
For shuke:

1 dead, 16 injured in Tenn. crashes involving 176 cars

(CNN) -- One person was killed and 16 others injured Thursday in three separate chain-reaction crashes involving 176 cars north of Nashville, authorities said.

Heavy fog and black ice were thought to have contributed to the crashes on State Highway 386 in Sumner County, said county emergency medical services Capt. Vincent Riley.

The incidents began just before 8 a.m. ET, when a car ran off the highway and caused a chain reaction accident in "heavy, heavy fog," he said.

At least one school bus, with children aboard, was involved in the crashes, he said. None of the children were injured.

The man who died was driving a compact car that went under a semitrailer, Riley said.

The 16 people transported to local hospitals were not critically injured, he said.

The highway remained closed throughout most of the day as authorities attempted to clear the wreckage. As of Thursday afternoon, one side of the highway was still blocked with 50 cars that were not driveable and must be towed, Riley said.

A fog advisory was not in effect for the area at the time of the crashes, said CNN meteorologist Sarah Dillingham, but the heavy fog could have been a localized event.

:goodposting:They tell you right away via email or during the order if they don't have it in stock. Depending whether it's direct from amazon or not.

No such thing as "fog". Just a cloud at a low altitude. So this guy got killed by two things that don't exist. Might as well pin it on the boogeyman and the Loch Ness monster.
 
We shouldn't overlook those of us who have really done nothing nor made any contributions lately. We are the standard by which the achievers are measured. Way to go guys
