PrintCulinary School finals ambushed me for the past few weeks so I've been MIA like CBKWit! I'm done with another year of culinary school and now my mincing technique is flawless and my souffles never collapse.
During those tough times at the culinary library studying and reading, I'd often think of the CGB. I'd wonder how many comments were in today's DBD. I wondered if Maharg missed me. I wondered if people were wondering where I was.
Did people even notice I was gone? Did people even miss me? Am I special???
And I'd think of that Plain White T's song:
give me more lovin then i've ever had.
make it all better when i'm feelin sad.
tell me that i'm special even when i know i'm not.
Tell me I'm special! Even if I'm not! And even if I'm not, you guys are special to me. You see, I was going through some hard times during culinary school. The daily work load is tough. There's enough pressure in trying to cook a 5 course meal in 75 minutes to make a grown man cry. I began questioning if culinary school was the right choice for me. There were times when I felt like throwing in the towel and putting my knives into my chest instead of the knife block. But then I thought of the CGB. And I"d go read the DBD and laugh at the inanity. And I'd feel better.
make me feel good when i hurt so bad.
barely gettin mad,
im so glad i found you.
i love bein around you.
You see, the CGB completes me.
via onderdiemaanensterre.files.wordpress.com
You guys make my life easier... and more tolerable.
you make it easy,
as easy as 1 2,(1 2 3 4.)
theres only one thing two do three words four you.
i love you.
Yes, I love you guys. I love you guys like a fat kid loves cake. I love you guys like Neuheisel loves gambling. I love you guys like Harbough loves tight ends.
Oh, and before I forget, I love all the non-CGBers too, like JSchufelt. I ain't forgot about you!
And I heard Carp might do the DBD for today. I love him so much I thought I'd do it for him. Take a load off Carp. You're going to be a dad. Go to the driving range and do fun stuff before you can't.
Also, I watched The House Bunny.
via www.entertainmentwallpaper.com
It was kwality entertainment and I highly suggest watching it. There are some seriously talented TEs in this movie. I'll be sure to let Harbaugh know.
Finally, I was at the Coaches Tour thing with TwistNHook. He told me that the word "meme" is pronounced "maym" such as the word "maim," as in "mamed by lions. Is that true? I thought it was prounced "me-me" or something like that.
OH, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, Rags reminded me I needed to do an Emerald Bowl Review this summer. And because Rags asked me instead of Twist, I agreed to do a review (just kidding, I was going to do one anyways, but I just wanted to make it known that I don't do anything for TwistNHook).
I started looking through the game tonight, and i'm barely through the second quarter yet I already have 7 parts of the series! In other words, this could be an epic review of perhaps more than 12 parts! Maybe even 15! Oh noes! The epicness!!!

It’s pronounced “thermometer.”
Actually it’s pronounced to rhyme with “theme.” Like “meem”.

How long is culinary school anyway? I always though it was like a week long course.
Also, how do you make chili sauces absorb into meat and chicken?
I make a really good (spicy) chili sauce that I cook cook thin steak or chicken in. But it never really “sticks” or absorbs as much as I’d like. It’s made with a base of tomatoes, with some bell peppers (red n orange), dried japanese and california chilis (boiled in water), jalapaños, serranos, some cloves, and a tad bit of onion – blended all with a small amount of water.

Thanks Oaktownmario. Well, I’m certainly not a great chef. So I’m rather embarrassed to give you cooking advice. I’d suggest marinating the chicken in the sauce before cooking. Shredding the chicken can help it absorb flavor by creating more surface area and making the chicken more porous. Alternatively, you can inject the chicken with the sauce or cook the chicken in vacuum sealed bags which supposedly help in getting the meats to open up and absorb the flavor.
As for the length of culinary school. I have no idea. It’s one of those things where I’m just going to stick around until they kick me out.

by oaktownmario on May 22, 2009 1:18 PM PDT up reply actions
This isn’t something you can just pick up at a grocery store. The technique is complicated.
Here is an article talking about it:
Whaley is cooking the rhubarb sous vide, which in French means “under vacuum,” a technique that he and other Bay Area chefs are using for a wide range of foods.
…
Whaley also vacuum-seals pork tenderloins in a pouch with bacon fat, then places the package in a controlled water bath until the pork has reached a specific temperature. He shocks the tenderloins in ice water, and then refrigerates them up to five days.
“The proteins have denatured but are soft,” he says, meaning, basically, that the proteins are cooked, but haven’t seized up. Traditional seared duck breast, which is seared in a pan and often finished in the oven, can end up chewy, even if the meat is cooked to the exact same internal temperature as duck breast cooked sous vide.
Some of the most interesting and recent developments in sous vide cooking are with tough meats that are typically braised. For example, chefs might cook beef short ribs sous vide over a period of 12 to 36 hours at 130 to 140 degrees, then reheat and serve them in a broth. Instead of becoming waterlogged and turning gray, the ribs stay red in the center and become tender, though not fall-apart tender like traditional braises.
New textures
“It’s an unusual texture not unlike rare prime meat and not unlike traditional stewed tough meat,” says food science expert Harold McGee of Palo Alto. “It’s opening up a new sector of the texture universe.”
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Love this quote
"It’s opening up a new sector of the texture universe."
I’m going to have to work that into a post sometime. That’s awesome.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Wow, sounds a bit too complicated for an amateur like me

Well other than the basic stuff (i.e. pancakes, omelets, etc) the only other thing I can cook is a spicy chicken sandwich. Basically I buy ground chicken, grab a portion, shape it into a patty and put it inside a ziplock bag. Then I create a spicy cocktail by mixing black peppers, salt, chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, a bit of fennel seeds and a little water. Then I pour this cocktail into the ziplock, shake it around until it spreads all over and put it into the fridge while I go to class.
After a few hours I cook and then just put it inside a bun with some lettuce. It tastes pretty damn good if I say so myself.
In other words, Go Bears!

The food values are even better in fresh egg pasta, which is considered to be one of the world’s most perfect foods because it contains virtually all of the essential nutrients. Pasta is low in fat and sodium [except ramen] and, if properly prepared and served, easily digested. It is an extraordinarily economical source of excellent nutrition, which can be appropriately dressed up or dressed down for almost any eating occasion

To BON’s infinite credit, carp still isn’t banned over there. I wouldn’t have blamed PB at all.
Also, I’m going to have to give Texas some credit on the non-conference scheduling front. It’s not the toughest slate around, but they haven’t played a I-AA opponent over the last three years, and most of those games have been against decent schools with some history of playing Texas in the old SWC. Moreover, actually playing road games (albeit @ Central Florida and @ Wyoming) should warrant them some credit, too. (They almost lost @ UCF two years ago).
It’s not a shining example of the greatest schedule out there, but I don’t think it’s in any way shameful, unlike some Big XII teams (Texas Tech and Kansas come immediately to mind).
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
It varies from poster to poster

Question
I have a fever of 102. I’ve always thought that the evolutionary reason for fever is to make the body less hospitable to the infecting virus/bacteria, and more favorable to WBC activity. So when my doctor tells me to take acetominophen or ibuprofen as a pain/fever reducer, how is that not just prolonging the disease by making it more favorable for the infection? Granted, it will make my life much better over the next 6 hrs but if I can be cured 6 hrs early why wouldn’t I opt for that route instead?

It's the level of your fever - it's TOO high...
I had a bacterial infection recently, which came complete with flu-like symptoms and a temperature hovering between 99-100 degrees. I was advised not to take any fever-reducing medication so as to let the body do its work against the bacteria – as long as my temperature stayed below 101 degrees.

Everyone is leaving me this weekend!!!!
Other than multiple drop-offs/pick-ups from the airport, my big plans are to sleep in, and watch Rome Season 2 Disc 2. I also plan to buy groceries, soap, shampoo, shaving cream, and scrub my apartment real good. My life is toads out of control. And who knows, perhaps I will be hit in the head with a pleasure giving device!
They're after our precious bodily fluids
Disturbing!

Oregon would have been the second-best team in the SEC last year and California and Oregon State would have been in the top-five.
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/pac10/0-9-63/Opening-the-mailbag-.html
I recently read an article on Tim Tebow and it made me think about his tremendous leadership. This, sadly, reminded me of Vince Young, his great leadership, and how far these two had taken their teams. Who will be the Trojan’s leader (on offense) or will Taylor Mays be the leader for both sides of the ball? Will the new leader match Mark Sanchez’s fire?
Heisman Pundit breaks down Jahvid Best’s chances at the Heisman Trophy (below is an excerpt, click the link for the full shabang):
His biggest drawback: He plays for Cal, which is not a traditional Heisman power and doesn’t always get a lot of respect nationally.
His biggest asset: He’s a phenom, a highlight-reel player who can change a game in the blink of an eye. He had 1,580 yards last season despite missing one whole game and parts of others with injuries (like a Ferrari, he is often in the shop). Oh, he also averaged 8 yards per carry. And he was just a true sophomore.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Two Things
1) Jahvid absolutely has to show up in Cal’s biggest games, which he didn’t really do last season. Now, that wasn’t really his fault so much (a intermittent lack of any semblance of a passing game probably hurt him more than any collection of USC linebackers), but putting up 300 yards on WSU isn’t going to really impress voters too much.
2) I absolutely believe that danzig’s Best/Benny HIll highlight videos have already helped Jahvid’s Heisman chances, getting him into the conversation over a long Spring and Summer when nothing was going on (and Best wasn’t even participating in Spring Ball!).
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
We need ted to link to the video

2) I love danzig’s vids, but unless they get featured on some ESPN college football show their impact on the Heisman race is minimal. Remember that Heisman voters are not exactly the most tech-savvy of us and generally don’t pay attention to anything outside their small universe.

CGB: Our points are reliable. Our logic is infallible. Our past records are illogical. And our ham is dynamite!
Here’s something to hopefully drive discussion: where is the cal football program today if Longshore never hurts his ankle against sac state? I was thinking about it and it certainly puts us in a different place. He gets an extra year of experience. Maybe we win 10 games instead of 8 in 05. With a year under his belt he is even better than he was in 06, and maybe we don’t crap the bed in knoxville and we don’t fall apart in Tucson. In 07 he never gets bone chips or whatever and no collapse. After a few weeks of indecision longshore decides not to enter the draft. The team has great quarterback play in 08 and possibly goes to the rose bowl. I really don’t think that is that wild a scenario. Sigh…

who knows – sky’s the limit, I guess.
heck, where are we if he doesn’t hurt himself against oregon? Think about where that would take us. Maybe we end up #1 in the country for a little while. Maybe we beat UCLA and USC and go to the Rose Bowl. Hell, what is Tedford had actually rested Longshore instead of making him play on a bum ankle? …sigh…
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
From what I know about what kind of a person Nate is, I think he probably demanded to be played. He is a great team guy and wanted to right the ship. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lied to tedford about how his ankle was feeling. I definitely don’t think it was a situation where tedford forced him to play when he shouldn’t have, a la alex smith. But then again tedford isn’t a tactless fucktard like mike nolan.

Nate just seems like a great guy. Anyone who booed him isn’t a real cal fan. Plus, in my opinion, I think he was better than Riley last year. But don’t tell Cal fairweather fans! They still haven’t figured out that he really is not that good.

Haha – well, Nate definitely got a raw deal from Bear fans toward the end, I think, and there were some things things that he definitely had over Riley, but he didn’t have the confidence anymore after that ’06 campaign.
Dunno – Riley still has some growing up to do, and maybe that maturity will come this year and next.

But some fairweather fans, notably those sitting near me at the Emerald Bowl, were calling for Riley. He was BAD last year. My god. Watch the games people. Longshore was mediocre. Riley was bad. He was overthrowing guys by 5 feet against Wazzu.

Yeah, Riley doesn’t have the accuracy of Longshore, who doesn’t have the accuracy that Rodgers had. I’m hoping we can get off that track.
‘Course, Riley doesn’t have the patented Kurt Warner Feet of Stone™ that Longshore has. But that’ll only take you so far if you can’t get the damn ball to the receivers. What’s crazy to me is that giantfan5 said (in his interview) that Mansion’s looked the best so far. If Mansion starts, well consistency goes out the window. It’d be nice to have a 3-year starter who just continually develops.
Not saying Mansion shouldn’t start! Whoever gives us the best chance to win needs to start. I’m just sayin’ consistency would be nice, but we just need to find that special guy who can grab the job and keep it.

That's Mr. 9-11 to you.
To be sure, Longshore definitely didn’t overthrow his defenders. Nope, not Mr. 2-INTS-IN-A-ROW. Hydro will now chime in and say that the receivers weren’t running precise routes when Nate threw his laser-like wounded quails.

Olsonist, I like you. You are a funny commenter. But if you are one of the people who booed Longshore, I will lose respect for you.

damn, I forgot it was that low. Maybe with that season under his belt, he’s get it to something respectable. If he starts.
I just hope Tedford doesn’t do the whole QB-merry-go-round again. That was such a colossal pain in the ass, and it didn’t help anything. Fans hated it and I’m sure the QB’s did too.
Also, just to add a random meaningless thought, my old boss had it in for Longshore and booed him at games. One of the thousands of reasons I hated working for her.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
Kevin Riley will win the starting job. There isn’t much of a controversy. Tedford is just trying to light a fire under him. He will be competent this year. But people were acting like Longshore was throwing an interception every time he touched the ball, and that Riley was throwing a touchdown every time he touched the ball. Simply not true.

Honestly I tried to hold it back. But after the Big Game at Stanford in 2007 I just lost it.
I didn’t even want to go to the Big Game since I knew how it would end. But my game buddy told me that you could pick up tickets on CL for little dinero. That should have been a big hint. Then the Great Mormon One went 22-of-47 for 252 yards and two second-half interceptions against an incredibly sucky Stanford defense. Did I tell you how much I hate the new Stanford Stadium?
None of this you’re not being fair to Nate or you can’t boo a player on your own team.
You think we like booing our own? I cheered Longshore when he stepped on the field against Michigan State. Really, I did. Even after all of the 2007 meltdown, I cheered Longshore when he stepped on the field against Michigan State. And what does he do? Throws a pick. Bench. Then he throws another pick.
2007 must have been before you were even born but it was painful for those of us who lived through it.

Really? Pulling the age card? You’re better than that. I don’t care if you use it joking around or whatever but when you use it in an actual intelligent discussion then your just being an ass. So I’m younger then almost every reader of this blog. It immediately means that my opinion is wrong and that I wasn’t there for that, right? Come on. You don’t have to like me or my opinion but you damn well better respect me and my opinion.
And especially when its something like the ‘07 season. I am the one who tries to pretend it never existed. I am the one who has said that the 07 season was the end of my childhood. You probably didn’t think much about your comment when you wrote it but saying stuff like that really pisses me off. It was as painful for me as it was for everyone else. Were you there when I stared at the television for half an hour in fetal position after OSU? Were you in the stands next to me at the UCLA game, hearing my friend from LA taunt you? No you weren’t there. So don’t make a fucking asshole comment about it.

I was at the UCLA game in the North end zone.
I saw the INT from 80 yards away; it got worse.
I was at the OSU game. Don’t remind me.
No, I don’t need to establish my bona fides.
And my reference to your age was in the mildest of terms.

I was saying were you there with me. Because you were saying I didn’t experience the pain of that season. So obviously you were there and saw me completely unaffected by it.
And either way your backhanded comment was bush league.

All of us here were probably at those games
I was at the OSU game. I threw my hat down onto the bench and then just sat down with my hands covering my face as soon as time ran out. Apparently FSN decided to broadcast a view of the student section and you can see me doing this in there. My friends thought it was funny and recorded it on TiVo when it was played back even though you could see them next to me yelling at god.
I was at the UCLA game sitting next to UCLA alumni. ’Nuff said
I watched the ASU game from the comfort of my parent’s home.
I watched the UDub game from a restuarant that apparently was honey to Husky fans. I was wearing a Cal t-shirt.
I watched the Wazzu game on the 50yd line of the student section right above the rally comm.
I was at the new Stanfurd Stadium about two or three rows up from the end zone. I saw that small ass Stanfurd DB taunt us by pointing to the scoreboard. I felt nauseated by the announcer’s proclamation of the Axe’s return. Same feelings when seeing the students rush the field. I also got called by many so-called high school “friends” who went to Stanfurd but I hadn’t spoken to since HS.
Until the emerald bowl my away record was an ugly 0-3 (UCLA, Stanfurd 07, USC 08).
In other words, Go Bears!
You’re missing the point. I never said that it didn’t suck more than anything for those who were there. But he said that it wasn’t painful for me. I was just giving him a few examples of how that was about as untrue a statement as possible. I could have given more. This isn’t about naming things that sucked about that season. We could spend hours doing that. Somehow this got turned into a bizarro dick measuring contest.

Tip of the hat, Roy. We’ll have to disagree on Longshore.
For the most part, I’m anti-Longshore. At his best, he reliably distributed the ball to his NFL backfield and NFL receiver corps. At his worst, he tried to make plays that weren’t there, a gambler doubling down. Given his injuries, Tedford should have platooned him.
Still, I’m happy he’s graduating, finishing out the degree. That’s important. And he’ll always have the Oregon game, a tough great win.

Were you that drunk guy who sat near the top of the student section yelling really obnoxious things? Sounds like you.

hmmm… damn, i’m not sure. He had a flask sometimes, he was probably in his late 20’s, walked around a lot. Can’t remember anything to distinguish him specifically. Me friends and I used to laugh at him, after a few games we got to recognizing each other and actually chatted a bit. Seemed a decent guy when sober.
Can’t remember ‘hands on hips’ specifically, though…

There is a group of about five guys behind us in QQ who are LOUD. They warned me about this but then they’re also just awesome fans. Knowledgeable, passionate and loud. They share sandwiches, say hi, get in your face if you sit, got in my face about Longshore. I can’t wait til Sept 5 to see them.

He was a huge Longshore basher too. Just throwing out all types of F bombs on Longshore and saying horrible stuff. I remember one game where the students within like a 20 yard radius of him were just sick of him. I mean, some of the students around him also didn’t like Longshore, but he was taking it to another level and he was just being a disgrace to Cal fans. Dude didn’t give a crap either. And his friends who were there with him thought he was the greatest thing ever and loved how everyone around them was disgusted with them.

Well, the holiday weekend is going to kill traffic for sure...
…not to mention the only Cal action worth talking about lately (softball) was impossible to find on TV since it got moved around with the rain delay. And not many of us were trying to catch that either.
