Why Coffee Varieties Are Important

Sounds exciting! Especially since all I know is Robusta and Arabica, lol

Father's Day Giveaway: Win a KettlePizza Pro 22 Kit

Never making pizza... but alternatively, eating all the pizza that everyone likes first and leaving the kind that only he likes last!

Father's Day Giveaway: Win a Baking Steel!

That would definitely be a pizza with the works. I'm ashamed in my own fatherhood that I can't be the consumer of all the burnt bits that no one else wanted like he was.

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

Schoop's Hamburgers in Munster, IN with a Green River Milkshake.

Giveaway: Win A Limited Edition "Zelda Collection" from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

I have to say I'm quite glad to see this pop up (even though I doubt I'll win) as I got the email notification from them earlier today and they were sold out seemingly immediately.

To build on a Guinness/stout ice cream that Jeni's already makes - Guinness and Black (ie black current swirled stout ice cream!)

Our Prarie Fire was Wild Turkey and tabasco

What Are They Drinking on Mad Men?

I can't add much because I have yet to watch the series. But a superb piece of writing.

Taste Test: New Ritter Sport Winter Edition Chocolates

@kakugori & soyday - from my summer in Germany my favorite one was a blood orange yogurt. It was a white chocolate bar with the orange yogurt filling. But that was a limited edition unfortunately :(

Ever Tried All Dressed Chips? They're Like Canada's Everything Bagel

What's Your Favorite International Soda?

Mine has to be Apfelshorle from Germany

Cambodiann Jaya Palm Spirit

So my sister recently made a trip to Cambodia and returned with a nifty little gift for me. I can't find any info online, though apparently she drank it mostly in shot form.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best use palm spirit?

Borough Furnace

So, ever since Kenji did a review of their cast iron pans and dmc had such positive feedback about pizza pans, I've been keeping an eye on their kickstarter page. While I gave a bit, I didn't want to drop $300 to preorder so I've really wanted this to happen so that I could get some american made cast iron at a more reasonable price.

And last night they hit their goal of $25,000! With 15 or so more days to go, they're likely to get a bit more starting capital, which bodes well for finally being able to buy their pieces straight up.

E. coli outbreak in Germany

I had this BBC article about the recent outbreak of a particularly nasty strain of E. coli. in Germany pop up on my Google homepage this morning and figured I'd share it with those interested here.

E. coli puts spotlight on food chain complexity

I think the article raises a couple great questions that are going to have to be answered in the coming years in regards to food supply chains and inter-country relations.

"Food markets have consolidated into the hands of a few large corporations that deal in tremendous volume. Larger volumes and longer supply chains, in turn, make trace-back more difficult and put a larger number of consumers at risk if there is an incident of microbial contamination somewhere in the system," she says.

Introduce Yourself!

While technically not new to SE, it's only recently that I've started actively commenting and figured it was time for my first post. Having lurked for a few years now, the faces here are always changing and figured it'd be nice to have a current forum where everyone can reintroduce themselves, their backgrounds, what makes them tick or just their favorite things in general.

To start things off, I'm Josh, a 25 yr old structural engineer working and living in Columbus, OH and born and bred in OH (with a 4 yr stop off in Indiana, lol) The first things that started me cooking was helping out with scrambled eggs and making holiday cookies with my mom. And things have only grown from there to winning our chili cook-off at work. Currently I'm trying to get as much of my meat from the wonderful butchers and fishmongers in the North Market; as well as actually keeping to an actual menu for the week. Things on the docket to eventually do are break in my Bouchon cookbook and make rillets or duck confit.

Now it's your turn to let everyone get to know you.
