Egg cooked in a Scanpan titanium-ceramic non-stick pan (plain): some weird hybrid between fried and poached egg. Some sticking, but the pan is allegedly immune to metal cooking tools, which I used. White, firmness to taste, no real browning at moderate heat; yolk, kinda warm and runny.
Next up, the depleted yolk omelet (because omelets should be at least pale yellow).
[The photographer accidentally ate the dry-poached egg during staging.]

after about five seconds of the trailer for gatsby, i thought to myself "what is this, some baz luhrmann wannabe?" nope its baz luhrmann. at least, carey mulligan looks fetching as mia farrow daisy buchannan.
noticed i get buzzed from one glass of wine but not so much (which is a good thing) even after a couple of water downed whiskies. heres one explanation.
Why is it that I can sip bourbon all afternoon long and never get more than a slight buzz with little impairment, but let me have a tall Sierra Nevada with lunch, and have a bomber of Stone IPA every 2 hours after that and by 6pm I am totally blitzed? Why?

The short answer: Carbonation and your pyloric sphincter.
The long answer, high concentrations of alcohol in the stomach (I think ~17% +) causes the pyloric sphincter to shut, blocking the passage of alcohol to the small intestine where it is more readily absorbed -- so your bourbon is pretty much just sitting there giving you a nice even keel buzz. However, carbonated beverages (such as beer, champaign, bourbon and soda) actively relax the pyloric sphincter allowing the full effects of the alcohol to hit you hard and fast. Huh, well, that wasn't so very long now was it.
This response brought to you by me, your local, "I've got tomorrow off and only two months of freedom until Med-School starts so I just poured a hole heaping handful of bourbon into what was left of my coke, pyloric sphincter be damned."
if you were going to watch only one soccer game this season, you probably missed it. it was last weeks english premier league clincher for manchester city which was 1 billion dollars and 44 years in the making. in my first full season watching european football i may have peaked. another team is unlikely to score two goals in the final four minutes on the final day of the season to secure a title anytime soon.
but if you are lucky maybe the unlikely champions league final tomorrow between chelsea and bayern munich will be half as gripping. watch it tomorrow on fox at 245 est.
95 seconds to bike to the whole foods in ideal conditions. just needed to note that for future laziness. unfortunately i can spend $95 in about as long.
hunter angler gardener cook. I am especially interested in those meats and veggies that people don’t eat much any more, like pigeons or shad or cardoons. I have nothing against good grass-fed beef or a head of lettuce, it’s just that others are doing just fine writing about those foods. I’m trying to walk a less-traveled path.
