The Shutter

June 13, 2009

or “is that a 301 Redirect in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”.
Time has come to shutter d8c.org and take my toys elsewhere. It’s been a fun time, here, and I am sure I’ll miss it to some extent, but d8c was, and is, my companion through six years of technology, [...]

Dom, Map

June 7, 2009

There’s no Jonas-y goodness today since I’ve spent all day playing the arcade and perusing Santa Cruz’ tourist attractions with old friends and fellow Bavarians Martin (left) and Dominik (right).

Sous Sans, Quotes Edition: Knifes

June 6, 2009

Since I have gotten not one but three requests to comment on the “best cooking knife”, yet still reel from a bad case of writer’s block, I figure I’ll just do what Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me does when they don’t have time to make a show - I’ll slap together a quotes and tidbits [...]

Sending you off to the Blender…

June 5, 2009

Go spend some time tonight at the Daily Blender, an interesting accumulation of Chef Celebrity writings and general food related topics (on a side-note: I am looking for weblogs maintained by real dyed-in-the-wool chefs and cooks, industry professionals, not home-cooks or foodies. Aside from a handful [and by weblog, I mean it's more than a [...]

… in which we redecorate

June 5, 2009

I’ve spent the morning redoing some of the parts of this here website, which is as good an excuse as any for all the broken stuff that’ll indubitably creep up. Among other things, I am now making use of the @font-face directive in CSS3, which means that, if you’re not seeing fancy fonts in some [...]

Ask The Sous #1: Eggstacy and Eggscellence

June 3, 2009

Hey, you didn’t really think I’d pass up the chance at a bad, bad, pun, didn’t you? It’s all about eggs in this one, poached and over-easy to be precise. Aaah, the humble yet noble egg. A veritable source of all things delicious, a true allrounder, and one of the really hard things to master. [...]

The Perpetual Sous cooks for you!

June 2, 2009

I am a perpetual Sous. Any attempts at rising above the title and job have been, well let’s say, disastrous. It’s not so much that I don’t get the job done, I generally do, it’s that being Chef bores me. “Good excuse,” you’ll think now, and you’re right to an extent. I don’t like planning [...]

Thou art what thou cooketh to.

May 29, 2009

When entering a new kitchen, we tend to evaluate a lot of things while contemplating our employment there. There’s cleanliness (for me, at least) that’s a big one. How full is the walk-in, and are things covered and labeled? Nothing worse than hitting the weeds on a Friday because someone let last night’s sauces go [...]
