Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats

[wu_wei0]

You take a sharp knife and make a series of slits in the fresh ham or pork roast....press a slice of garlic into each slit. Next you rub the outside with some high quality extra virgin olive oil and then with a mixture of coarse salt, fresh ground pepper and granulated garlic. Place it on a wire rack in a baking pan...350 degrees until the meat thermometer shows 150...in the very center. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Garlic and fresh rosemary (or other fresh herb of choice, perhaps) in the slits is yummy. Middle son's favorite. Lots of garlic, touch of rosemary.
Now I'm hungry too. Probably should pull something substantial out of the freezer for supper tonight. Maybe then I can wake up after naps and read this thread and not have my tummy growl.

How about a tastey venison recipe, wool?

[Lightstream]

Wu......go for it :D

If you don't take care of yourself, who will?

[wu_wei0]

I really hate cooking for one and am not big on leftovers. School's out so I can't invite soc club kids over. Still, I might see what is in there. Josh brought me a nice haul when he came for thanksgiving.

Imac is at the sort facility 2 hours away!

How're things going for you, Yoda?

[Lightstream]

Even autopilot cooking? I'm big on autopilot ;)

Actually, I love eating. Better if it can be outsourced I definitely agree :D now with all the good food at home.. I need not worry.

BTW, you were saying something about hosting earlier? If you need a space to park stuff for a while I have enough to share, let me know.

I am currently with a 'web hosting' provider that I am not entirely happy with.. I have always been happiest running my own servers. (once a sysadmin, always a sysadmin). May be changing providers in the months to come once this contract runs out.

Congratulations :) Hope you get it soon!

Things are a bit better, I have most of the major problems squared away and now everything in my in tray has 'administrative' severity, at most (as opposed to critical). Thank God.

[wu_wei0]

Thanks. I still haven't decided what to do. There's so much to accomplish over the break that I'm not sure if I have time to set anything up. Winter break seems so much shorter this year.
Just what is autopilot cooking?

I want the Imac NOW!! but, to be practical, I hope it waits til tomorrow to get here. still figuring grades. should be doing that now.

Cool.. anyway just let me know if you need a place to park stuff whether short term or long term (long referring to the time when I get away from my hosting provider :p). I can easily create a Gallery account.

Autopilot - dish that can be prepared with absolute minimum of work. Example would be the chicken recipe I mentioned earlier, marinade 24 hours, slam in oven with potato of some kind, and go back to work. Resurface 30 minutes later, chicken is cooked, potato is baked.. 5 min to prepare marinade the day before, 2 min to load oven. Rest is all waiting time (autopilot) while the oven does its thing.

Ham would probably be something like that although preparation is more intensive.

Glad to hear things are some better!

Thanks :D heheh.. work first eh?

[wu_wei0]

I do a lot of chicken breasts and salmon in the oven, so I guess that is autopilot. Steam some veggies, roast a little red potato or 3. Maybe some rice if I satrt early enough. Just so much easier to nuke a mini pizza or eat a peanut butter sandwich. My diet consists of veggies and some variation on a cheese sandwich a lot of nights, though, A tortilla, or artisan bread topped with cheese and thrown under the broiler. Not healthy, in particular. But quick and no left overs.

Yes. I have to be at the office today. Brought work home tonight and have been working in spurts between naps. well- only one nap so far. Not sure if I will get another. Only an hour and a half before I normally get up and head to the office.

If I that it gets out on today's truck I am coming home, though!

[Woolburr]

Have some fresh citrus.

Wu, the only venison recipe I have is for venison speidies....a regional dish from the central NY area....involves some serious marinating and then charcoal grilling.

[wu_wei0]

Lovely. I am out of grapefruit. It is my prefered citrus since I don't have to peel it. I love tangerines and all that, just hate to peel my own. makes my fingers sore.

DO NOT MICROWAVE A CHICKEN!!! BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH

You'll have to share it some day. I grill all year long. Nothing better than building a snowman to act as a wine cooler, brushing the snow off the grill firing up some charcoal and grilling i the chill. I do generally come back in for the beer part. too cold to stand out there for long. :)

I agree that it should be made into a sticky! An important lesson for all!

Pale and paste-y rubber chicken. blech

There's a MAC in Kansas with my name on it!! I love tracking deliveries.

Sorry if I missed this before. Which one did you get?

[wu_wei0]

Got an Imac. Just the 17 incher :( but 2.16 gh, 2gb ram. I figure I'll add a second display in a month or so.
It'll be a bit slow rendering video, but it is all I could swing right now and this old dell laptop is about to die and there will be no heat on campus over break. No working in the office. IF I'd not bought the tubes and nifty, I'd have been able to get the 20 inch, but still would be the same guts. I've been wanting tubes again for a long time.

I'm really excited! It is still in KC so I think I will be safe togo to work today.

[ejwebb]

What the heck is that ? A ritual turkey floggin' by some insane pilgrim sect somewhere in Ozark mountains ?:rolleyes:

I believe it was taken accross the pond (France). It can't be in America - see any NASCAR emblems on them hats?

[saravrose]

so has anyone here every had a pavalova?

boy i'm late in resonding.. i'm not terribly found of them.. the consistency is just kind of weird.. but, it is baked meringue so what do we expect?... I do like the berries and whipcream on top though... ;)

I just drove 10 hours home from Orlando....and I've got to tell you....once I stopped laughing....Sari, this is critical for you..........................

Okay folks.. I was joking. I truly was.. besides, my microwave is to small to fit the whole chicken.. and cutting it up.. (no idea how to do that) would defeat the purpose of buying a whole chicken in the first place.... I promise it will go in the oven... (scouts honor).. except I was never a scout... oh well.... it will be cooked properly just as soon as I figure out how...

I am Annoyed(tm).

I just got back from wandering around town and looking at all the beautiful Christmas lights, realizing that my 28/1.8 is stuck in a Computrekker AW stashed halfway around the world. Bloody #@($*@!@!! Guess I am going to have to push the 24-105 f/4L IS and push the stabilizer to do the job. Luckily, lights do not run away from me. I sure could use the bloody fast aperture though.

I hate being posted overseas... (it is *NOT* the same as moving from one state to another, where everything else works the same way.. international borders are whole different game and the rules are different). Try fighting with airline carry on regulations and lost baggage.. it's a risk I take every time I fly. Try explaining the million and one things to border control. Those of you without passports: YOU ARE LUCKY. (but don't ever tell me it's easy.)

Think I will buy myself a 85/1.8 and have another drink :( yes, retail therapy is running OVERDRIVE now.

Now, I would feel sorry for you.. except i've never been out of my own backyard, never left my country or seen anything different and i'm desperate to give it a try.. But, I do understand the aggravation you must be feeling and leaving kit that you need at home is always the pits.. (Can anyone send it to you?).. good luck by the way, where are you?..

[Lightstream]

Well - do it once in a lifetime, go on the adventure, see the world, find yourself (now I know what they mean), come back and be happy. Going as a tourist is also very different from being stationed there. The little problems suddenly become amplified by a few orders of magnitude.

And when your time overseas approaches 5+ years, you get Real Tired Real Fast. Work has taken me too far from home too often. All I can say is.. this had better dang well be worth it.

Plus, the loss rate of international shipments during Christmas is staggering.. as someone who used to be a reseller, I know.. it was always a headache. Either that, or they would take up to 2 months. USE FEDEX!!!

I think I will be OK.. for static subjects like Christmas lights, the 24-105's stabilizer gives me at least two additional stops to put it on parity with a f/2, if not 3 stops (1.4). I hate the way people carp and carp and carp about IS 'not being able to freeze action' as if that is the only thing that they ever care about, or 'it's useless on a short lens'. I have so many prize shots that would not have been possible without IS. I'm a landscape and cityscape photog - it matters to me. Try to rig a tripod on the busiest pedestrian mall of a city of 4 million people (with 3 million in the city, other 1m in hiding) during Christmas is asking for it. For those who do not understand the True Nature of IS.. forever be confounded by it, they will!!

Sorry for the rant... anyway I figure that since I seem to believe so much in IS, it's time to put that faith to the test. I believe too, that I will not be disappointed.

Ahhhhh......FedEx, you are smart!

Never again will I trust anything but EMS and FedEx. When it absolutely, POSITIVELY, HAS TO BE THERE, FedEx gets it to me.

I have had a FedEx driver front up at my place at 4PM on a Sunday in the pounding rain (so loud you have to shout above it) with a consignment of Plextor 8/20X CD-R drives. I am dating myself - this was so many years ago that the Plextors were not capable of writing to rewriteable disks, hence CD-R, not CD-RW.

[wu_wei0]

By the way....Macs even smell better than other computers.

That, they do. I wish I could have the scent of my buddy's G5 wafting through my house. But an Imac will smell quite sweet. Who needs Christmas Cookies??

Now I have to decide where i want to put it. I should return my office stuff to my office, but if I leave the setup in my DR I'll be able to see it all the time. :)

[Permagrin]

morning All...

Our server went out yesterday and has been down for about 14 hrs...talk about POTN withdrawal...
:lol:

[Lightstream]

Finally! Thought you were ignoring us! :p

(BTW: Proper term: Service provider or ISP.. do excuse my nitpicking.. we worked in the business and needed to differentiate it from server, as in 'box', or physical computer that performs a service.. therefore, server outage = limited damage, service provider outage = big problem...)

Home is wonderful....I just found out today they are laying on free wireless LAN access (at Starbucks too!!), and truly 100% mobile broadband at prices that were previously believed impossible..

[Permagrin]

No....just sufferring those involunatary potn DT's...:lol: :lol:

Before you leave and start reading other threads, I plan to acquire a 85/1.8 prior to my return to the firing line.. it's small consolation for the $#)(*@! I have to put up with when I get back. Just thought I'd report to the High Priestess before exercising my TMS therapy.

[Permagrin]

I'm still trying to figure out where I left off on this one...

But the 85 is a good lens. Sharp, nice...another one of those WOW lenses for not much money.

That's the idea. There is a 135/2 for $761 TCO hanging around, secondhand, but I am loath to spend money on a lens that will simply sit around unused most of the time. $340 on a 85/1.8 is better, and I will ask 'em to price match B&H.

well if I had to choose btw. the two, I'd choose the 135...because I love that lens. I don't use it as much as my zooms but the keeper ratio is at 99.9%...it's absolutely fantastic on the 5D.

Premian, talking about a good lens.......haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your new lens selection and acquisition. That has to be a powerhouse of a lens.......pricey but eh, quality and features cost money !:D

[Belmondo]

Ahhhhh......FedEx, you are smart!

I am dating myself - this was so many years ago that the Plextors were not capable of writing to rewriteable disks, hence CD-R, not CD-RW.FedEx is currently on my list (not the good one). I paid for 2nd-day air on the 50L, and it was right on schedule all the way to Palm Springs. On the appointed day, tracking info. said it was 'out for delivery'. I waited around all day. By 11:00pm, I gave up hope of seeing the lens and started thinking about going to bed. I decided to watch the 11:00 news, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a truck outside. I walked out onto the porch, and saw the tail lights of a FedEx truck pulling away. There was no package, but a door tag instead showing 'attempted delivery at 11:00pm'. The bozo hadn't even rung the doorbell.

Day 2 (Friday): I called FedEx in the morning, and grumbled about the previous days' events. The nice lady assured me the package was on the truck and they would 'attempt' delivery again that day. This was almost a carbon copy of the day before. The driver came a little after 11:00pm, didn't ring the doorbell, left a door tag, and escaped once again with my lens. I was still up.

Day 3. Saturday morning, I called FedEx at 6:00am, and I was steamed. I told them I wanted the package held at their terminal in Palm Springs so I could pick it up during the day. Unfortunately, the person I spoke to was in the Philippines, and wasn't able to call them directly because the local office didn't open till 9:00am on Saturday. I called back at 9:00, and was told that the package was already on the truck and out for delivery.

Grrrrrr.

The driver made his ‘third attempt’ to deliver it around 5:00 Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, we were home, although we hadn’t been earlier. For some reason, B&H shipped the lens with the requirement that someone at the address be there to sign for it. Otherwise, I would have signed the door tag from the preceding day, and have it left on the porch. I’ve done that before with considerably more valuable items, and would’ve been very comfortable doing so.

On the other hand, it could be worse. DHL lost my brother-in-law’s passport two days before he was supposed to leave for Brazil. Classy outfit.

Peter, I was just going to PM you and thank you for the newest lighthouse shot! It's really lovely.

re: the 70-200L...All I've seen of the photos with it seems to very good. Sharp does matter to me (when I want sharp that is) and IS is important to me as well...so hopefully I'll get the results I'm looking for.....it was in Portland on Sat., UPS updated their tracking...it's been sitting there and I won't get it until tomorrow even though I paid for 2day shipping. grrrr...

[Lightstream]

I dunno, really. Cost is a concern.

Also, I came to a realization walking around the shopping malls today. While I seem to be buying glass left right and center there is honestly not much else that I buy. I can walk through an entire shopping belt of multiple megamalls AND find nothing that intrigues me. I watch people throw down hundreds of dollars at one go on everything ranging from designer clothes to bags to skincare products, and realize that yes.. by and large, my spending is fairly restrained compared to most of what I'm seeing out there. Glass and drink are really my only two vices. And I've been drinking A LOT LESS since I got home.. must be the improved morale. (no it's not anybody stopping me)

I hear you there.. I don't shop. Maybe force myself once or twice a year to pick up a couple of pairs of pants and a few shirts.. It's like pulling teeth.. I buy c.d.s and books used because I don't like the new stuff very much anyway.. I have a habit of buying good makeup etc.. so it lasts forever and I don't have to replace it very often.. but, camera gear is a whole other ballgame.. if I had it I could easily spend 20,000 without batting an eye, an inch of guilt and no buyers remorse whatsoever.. and still not aquire everything that I wanted.. good thing I don't have the cash or the brick and mortar stores to test me past indurance..

Petkal... you should try the 724ISL. That is one beast of a lens and a definite keeper. I love the light weight especially when I am pounding the streets on foot, and optical quality is beyond reproach - everything I imagined it to be.

With the 5D I can trade ISO and aperture.. so f/4 is fine. When I want aperture.. I want something in the f/1.8 class AND FASTER wherever possible.

It's shipped to the Bay Area where he will pick it up later this week.

[Permagrin]

Note to PP, um, could you PLEASE get her a venti Latte -- STAT?!!

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I have to tell you that I ran across a recipe for a whole chicken, cooked in a cooking bag, with fresh rosemary stuffed inside, salt and pepper. Then a few minutes in the microwave (10 or 17, I can't remember).

I've done this a few times. It's extremely moist and tasty.

So, don't knock it until you've tried it!

Now go get that latte! :evil::evil:


;)


Chicken does not brown in the microwave...a fleshy, uncrispy blob of meat. Bleah

This bears repeating, and should be made a sticky.

I hear ya brother!

FedEx is currently on my list (not the good one).

I hate it when they do that...it's like they've got their door stickers ready...don't even bother to deliver...DHL is the worst for us...they deliver to the neighbors even when you are standing on your front porch saying..."OVER HERE"!

I dunno, really. Cost is a concern.
Like I said, the 85 is a good lens. I'd own it if I didn't already have access to it. I was going to purchase the 1.2L but honestly got such good results with my husband's 1.8 that I just asked if I could borrow it when I needed that range. Of course he was happy to acquiesce since it saved him roughly $2k :lol: :lol:

Sounds cool. I can't justify the 85/1.2 even though the shots are absolutely magnificent. I KNOW it is fantastic.. as I said, I no longer even bother to test-fire certain Canon lenses because I know their optical performance is beyond reproach; it simply becomes an issue of price.

Fully agreed with Sari I could plow $20K into gear and not look back. Don't look now but I have a sneaking feeling I have already done this.

Don't worry about it.. those of us who do read (or skim at least) all the posts will page you if anything comes up. The job of reading everything we type seems fairly unenviable, but the pleasant part about this thread is that it seems to be peaceful enough.. we may not agree about everything (microwaving chicken :mrgreen:) but there are no hard feelings.. :p

Edit: Still haven't hit the $20K mark. Far from it, thanks to 'gear recycling'. Maybe if I add the Eye of Sauron (200/1.8 )

I love cats tho.

Me too ;)

Now that my friend is ham...if it isn't fresh...it isn't real ham...poke a few holes in it...insert fresh cloves of garlic....then make a nice crust on the outside with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm

Yummmm, makes me want to haul one out of the freezer!

I just drove 10 hours home from Orlando....and I've got to tell you....once I stopped laughing....Sari, this is critical for you..........................

Now this is unfair...when he says it, no one accuses him of being on a Latte low!

I really hate cooking for one and am not big on leftovers. School's out so I can't invite soc club kids over. Still, I might see what is in there. Josh brought me a nice haul when he came for thanksgiving.

I want to go to sleep too... I hate waking up in the morning.. especially if it's for work.. I'm just not good at being alert and happy at six in the morning... and then ofcourse my night owl tendencies are terrible and I rarely go to bed before two in the morning.. it's just not good...

Nahhh.....several lenses have a comparable capability, but they are much cheaper and much lighter (300 f/4 IS is one of them, 200 f/2.8, 180L, 135L...even 400 f.5.6 and 100-400). Please let not common hype and folklore sway you.

You've never seen an old woman run home so fast!! Not here yet, thankfully-- or I'd be weeping. Now to have that mini coronary. My bod is just not up to that kind of run anymore.

Wish you lived closer. I love to run. And I can run a mile without even breakin' a sweat. :)
Glad to hear you got a new 'puter. I'd love to have a Mac.

Before you leave and start reading other threads, I plan to acquire a 85/1.8 prior to my return to the firing line.. it's small consolation for the $#)(*@! I have to put up with when I get back. Just thought I'd report to the High Priestess before exercising my TMS therapy.

I have the 85 and love it. Like most of my lenses, it's cheap but has great IQ.

well if I had to choose btw. the two, I'd choose the 135...because I love that lens. I don't use it as much as my zooms but the keeper ratio is at 99.9%...it's absolutely fantastic on the 5D.

I have the 135 in the f/2.8 version. Great IQ for outdoor portraits. I'd like to have the 135L for gym sports.

I dunno, really. Cost is a concern.

Also, I came to a realization walking around the shopping malls today. While I seem to be buying glass left right and center there is honestly not much else that I buy. I can walk through an entire shopping belt of multiple megamalls AND find nothing that intrigues me. I watch people throw down hundreds of dollars at one go on everything ranging from designer clothes to bags to skincare products, and realize that yes.. by and large, my spending is fairly restrained compared to most of what I'm seeing out there. Glass and drink are really my only two vices. And I've been drinking A LOT LESS since I got home.. must be the improved morale. (no it's not anybody stopping me)

Not me. I love to shop!!! But I'm a resale and bargain shopper. I got a Coach handbag on Saturday for $7.99. Woo hoo!! :D
