Emooze

My mother usually used just filé. I'll have to experiment with okra next time, this batch came out well. There was a place near me in Florida that made a truly fantastic fish gumbo for an event but they made the stock from fish bones and it took about 3 days in total. Found some good looking hanger steaks today at Dorothy Lane, they're in the sous vide now for later.

I had a craving for gumbo this past week and finally caved in I think I prefer filé to okra for thickening.

Anova is now making an iPhone connected machine for $30 less than their original machine: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anova/anova-precision-cooker-cook-sous-vide-with-your-ip

I have the book this is from. It's an old sci-fi "encyclopedia" written in the 70's from the perspective of living in the 2100's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_Trade_Authority

Jacob's sausage

Lemon, lime, sugar, lemongrass, citric acid and cinchona bark in water. Making tonic syrup.

Over my break, a friend and I did a dry aged strip proper justice in the hacked-together sous vide: 3 hours in the cooker then seared on the grill. Possibly one of the best steaks I've ever had and certainly the best I've ever cooked. Now I also have an Anova arriving Thursday.

Mike, that roast looks fantastic. I recently tried a chicken breast and asparagus and the chicken came out better than I could have imagined. The asparagus was good but not exceptional. I decided I'm getting an Anova sooner rather than later. For Japanese curry, it was always a thing I ate growing up. It's best with leftover ham and whatever vegetables are available. That said I have made this recipe and highly recommend it. The only thing I couldn't find and was too lazy to make was the torigara stock so I substituted half dashi and half chicken stock.

I got my hacked-together sous vide up over the weekend. While I was fiddling with it, I made a few just perfect poached eggs. Tonight I am attempting burgers. I used Adafruit's guide to convert one of my rice cookers to a sous vide. It's rather finicky, has a limited capacity and, considering everything, getting real close to the cost of the Anova.

I went to the Dayton record collector's meet and walked away with way too many records. I have yet to listen to any. I am still jealous Mikey gets all the Feedbands stuff before me. I haven't been disappointed with any one of their releases yet though.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, especially Jacob for making food and drinks. Sorry again for it turning into a bit of a cluster fuck. Next time I'll check the game schedule ahead of time to avoid all the craziness. I did actually get to do some listening at one point. Jim's Omega's out of the KGSSHV were sublime. All the delicious liquid tweaks made it that much better.

We've decided to move the party to the hotel. This place here is crap and they haven't followed up on their promise of loading dock access.

Only fantastic

First here

So for the folks coming. I don't expect people to show up at 8. I'll probably get in between 9 and 10.

I have a friend who went there earlier this week and said the food was unimpressive but the beer selection was fantastic. Naturally, I am in.

400A. I'll try to be there around 8.

Jacob, I will bring my tools on Friday then. It can happen. I probably won't get out of a meeting until 3 so the very earliest I can get down to Cinci is 4ish but I'll see if I can't reschedule. I think I met Peanut at Party Source's bar one day.

I get out of class around 3 so I can head down any time after that to meet folks.

Not sure but we have a private room so I'm going for forgiveness rather than permission here.

A few updates: we'll have the meeting space from 8am-6pm but feel free to arrive whenever. There is loading dock access just in case you are bringing a dual-mono T2 and the room number should be 400A but that could change. I'll be bringing: KGSSHV: Topless Edition, Twisted Pear Opus, M3, Lambda Nova Classic, HD580, AKG K340 and some form of liquid tweaks Also up for consideration is my old solid state exstata. If anyone is interested, I can bring that too.

I've built a simple circuit with a PGA2310 which is very similar to the 2320 but comes in a DIP16 package. The only things I haven't done yet are figure out the input and output impedance and how well balanced operation would work.

That's what I've heard. The Party Source in KY might have it, I just haven't made it down there yet.
