5:44pm Gary:

6evah ... and that's my final offah

5:46pm Doug Schulkind:

Sold to the man wearing the giant bunny costume!

5:48pm Uncle Michael:

Love that work always cuts us loose early on xmas eve. Greetings all.

5:50pm Gary:

Hola, UM

5:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Corporate is taking pity on you, UM. Don't buckle under! Stay at work!

5:51pm Uncle Michael:

Hi Gary. I hope you don't get mistaken for a baby harp seal.

5:51pm Uncle Michael:

I left an hour and a half ago!

5:52pm Doug Schulkind:

You left an hour and an elf ago?

5:53pm Uncle Michael:

Corporate, hell. I work in higher ed, man. It's where ambition goes to die.

Yep...been sitting here taking elfies.

5:53pm Gary:

Just trying to blend in ...

5:54pm pacific standard simon:

Today is the first day of an unexpected 4-day weekend -- a co-worker has child support to pay.

5:54pm Uncle Michael:

Careful. Fur trappers are strictly from commercial.

5:54pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi and howdy, pacific standard simon!

🥁

5:54pm listener james from westwood:

good later-on-tuesday, all! howdy, doug!

5:54pm Uncle Michael:

I'm off till the 2nd!

5:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey Listener James! Hope you disposed of the trash by now!

5:55pm pacific standard simon:

Just trying to stay the hell out of the kitchen and let the women fight with each other, instead of ganging up on me...

5:57pm Doug Schulkind:

@pss
Admit it, your specialty is cutting the "x" in the top of the brussels sprouts.

5:57pm Uncle Michael:

Thursday I have a foodie's grand day out in Kansas City planned.

🥁

5:58pm listener james from westwood:

trash = gone. chili = in freezer. apartment = slowly getting cleaner.
UM, that kind of christmas sounds terrific.

5:58pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!

5:59pm Doug Schulkind:

ndbob!

5:59pm pacific standard simon:

The irony is that I'm the one professional cook in the bunch.

Got any leftover miso soup, James? I could use a warmer.

6:00pm Uncle Michael:

It's part of my annual trip to have knives sharpened...I go to all the cool establishments while they're being taken care of.

🥁

6:02pm listener james from westwood:

oh, that miso went quickly. btw, the trick about pressing, then freezing, tofu to firm up its texture? spot on.
UM, the greenmarket in an adjoining town had a knife sharpener who did lots of business from folks who had nowhere else to take them. the days of the sharpener's cart wending its way through the streets may be gone.

🥁

6:03pm listener james from westwood:

i have heard that roasting split brussels sprouts is a great option.

6:04pm pacific standard simon:

At the restaurant where I used to work, a knife sharpener came in on a regular schedule to sharpen all the chef's knives at once.

6:04pm glenn:

miso yule log. www.youtube.com...

6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

We often have brussels sprouts sautéed with ginger and poppy seeds.

Damn, I've got the hongries!

6:05pm ndbob:

Gates also recorded "Death May Be Your Santa Claus"

6:06pm pacific standard simon:

By the way, DID YOU SPEND CHRISTMAS IN JAIL!!!

6:06pm Holly in NC:

Happy, happy, hollydays to all.

Yusef tribute Friday?

@ljfw - YES. Roasted split brussels sprouts are like crack, I eat them like candy. And they cook really quickly, close to instantaneous gratification. An unlikely but delicious pairing - cumin & parmesan (parm *after* roasting)

6:07pm pacific standard simon:

Holly happydays!

6:07pm glenn:

honey and parmigiano is also good.

6:08pm earrie:

"brussels sprouts sautéed with ginger and poppy seeds"
-- oo, that sounds really good.

Ginger on the bake-menu here-- ginger scones.

6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Holly, yes. All Yusef on Friday. And maybe beyond that. Three hours is hardly enough.

6:08pm pacific standard simon:

Bookmarking the Vegan Black Metal Chef for later.

6:09pm Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
That J.M. Gates disc has to "A" sides.

6:09pm Uncle Michael:

My problem with having knives sharpened at Ambrosi Bros. in KC is that it's hard to get out of there without buying cutlery. I bought a Nakiri last time.

6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh wow, Uncile Michael is starting the Knife Porn thread already!

6:10pm ndbob:

My knives are mostly plastic actually

6:10pm Uncle Michael:

I made halved, roasted Brussels sprouts last week with a glaze of homemade cranberry sauce and balsamic vinegar.

6:11pm pacific standard simon:

I've heard that maple brussels sprouts can be good, but I personally am averse to the little cabbages.

6:11pm glenn:

ooooh. anything steel and japanese is drool worthy. i have a couple of saws and a couple of chisels. wonderful stuff.

6:12pm ndbob:

Yep.. the only green veggies I like are asparagus, string beans, and snow peas

6:12pm Uncle Michael:

I fear that I won't resist the gyutos this trip.

6:12pm Gary:

Meta-Christmas, everyone

6:12pm ndbob:

Spinach is tolerable

6:13pm Uncle Michael:

I'd have bet on the Slim Gaillard night before xmas.

🥁

6:15pm listener james from westwood:

outstanding news on the sprouts. will need to snag some the next time i can get a fresh stalk.
ndbob, i've recently been getting more asparagus into my rotation. segmented and sauteed, usually. also like to steam broccoli. as heads is tails, just call me crucifer.

6:15pm Holly in NC:

@glenn - I of course meant parmigiano, dear lord, if anyone thought I meant the dreaded green cylinder, forgive me. But now I've sinned - sprouts snobbery ;-)

@pss - If I didn't suspect you don't eat meat, I'd suggest slicing the little guys & sauteing with cubed carrots & slab bacon, a recipe that has made many converts in my neck of the woods (google "best brussels sprouts ever").

6:16pm Holly in NC:

"just call me crucifer" +1

6:17pm ndbob:

@James Lots of people are surprised I love asparagus, given my general aversion to veggies - one reason to look forward to March and April

6:17pm ndbob:

this is great - never heard this before

6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

THE MASTER BABY!!!!

6:18pm pacific standard simon:

Oh, I eat plenty meat, Holly; I just try to give equal time to non-meats.

6:19pm glenn:

the nadir of food. www.torontosun.com...

6:19pm Doug Schulkind:

It doesn't get any meatier than THE MASTER BABY!!!!

6:21pm Doug Schulkind:

It's amazing to think that the recording of this sermon was once split into sides A and B of a record. Blasphemous!

6:22pm ndbob:

@Glenn hard to top that

6:22pm Gary:

This is some serious wrappin'

🥁

6:22pm listener james from westwood:

i have just realized i have all the components needed for brownies. oven is ON and brownies are a GO as dessert for the new chili.

6:23pm Doug Schulkind:

I'll be right over, LJFW!

6:23pm glenn:

hard to bottom that, you mean.

6:26pm Holly in NC:

Seriously, this is the soup I made last night : leftover roasted brussels sprouts (already utilized in the morning's breakfast hash w sauteed porcini mushrooms) leftover cauliflower 'rice' (aka cuisinarted cauliflower), leftover smoked chicken, homemade chicken stock, lots of garlic, lots of cream (only because I had a bottle perilously close to being expired as I only needed 1 glug for a different recipe last week), more mushrooms, some shredded cabbage, smoked paprika, dill seed... I think that's it. For something intended to use up things that were about to go bad, it was (is) a darn good soup. And very crucifery. Oh and some cheap cognac snuck in there too (hic).

6:27pm glenn:

tortiere, roasted cauliflower and a baby spinach and arugula salad. chestnut / chocolate mousse for dessert.

6:29pm glenn:

Greenwich Mean Time ‏@GreenwichMean
It's 8.37pm. Stop buy vinyl ironically, you awful arsehole.

6:30pm pacific standard simon:

Leftover soup, YAY. Sprouts and cauliflower, BOO. Sounds kinda good, though.

6:32pm Holly in NC:

Oh heck, leftover roasted sweet potatoes were in there too, just because they were also in the fridge. I don't really like sweet potatoes, but these were from my neighbor, they'd just finished curing & they're not too sweet and surprisingly good. Also cool because some of them are volunteers - they just showed up in my neighbor's compost pile. Magic purple sweet potatoes!

6:34pm Monica:

sounding muy excelente, doug!

6:34pm Doug Schulkind:

The next selection is meant especially for the kiddies. Get the soap ready to wash out their ears after.

6:35pm Holly in NC:

Poets of Rhythm clicky star

6:35pm glenn:

the magnificent miss lynch shows up.

6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Monica and happy early birthday to you!

6:36pm Uncle Michael:

Hi Monica.

6:36pm pacific standard simon:

Sweet potatoes tossed with oil, salt & pepper, and garnished with fried sage leaves are excellent. Good with firm tofu, too.

Miss ya, Monica!

6:37pm Doug Schulkind:

The next selection is meant especially for the Fox "News." Get the soap ready to wash out their ears after.

6:37pm Holly in NC:

Hi Monica, Sundays are not the same without you! (I was/am a dedicated archive listener, later on Sunday nights)

6:38pm Monica:

hey there, glenn and uncle michael! and all the drummer some irregulars! many thx, doug and PacStanSim!

🥁

6:38pm listener james from westwood:

holly, that soup sounds terrif.

6:39pm Monica:

and it wouldn't be xmas unless the price of a first class stamp went up another three cents!

6:40pm ndbob:

Ha Doug!

6:40pm Holly in NC:

If anyone hasn't yet read about Macy's hidden, "request-only" black Santa, here ya go: www.animalnewyork.com...

6:43pm Monica:

6:44pm Doug Schulkind:

No, Mo, we got the whole spread. Roast pig and such. And peeeeeeeecan pie.

6:45pm pacific standard simon:

I should do an ironic Christmas dinner -- all Hawaiian BBQ.

6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

THREE FRIED SQUID!!!!!

6:45pm Holly in NC:

@Doug - Where is Lincoln??!!

6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

Holly, is downstairs practicing her viola!

6:47pm Holly in NC:

I mean, where will she be when pig is in your house?

6:47pm pacific standard simon:

Black Angel's Death Song, hopefully.

6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

Hahahaha! Lincoln (the vegetarian) will be having 72-cheese mac 'n' cheese!

6:49pm ndbob:

sounds great Doug! I kind of figured she wouldn't be munching on pig

6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

Our next track comes courtesy of the great Kevin Nutt of Sinners Crossroads.

6:50pm lucy in brooklyn:

Miss you miss you miss you!!! merry xmas in from your brooklyn xmas family...

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Lincoln had a touch of the flu last week and wasn't eating much, so Jessie and I pounced on the opportunity and made a nice bolognese sauce! (Are we going straight to hell?)

6:52pm Holly in NC:

@glenn - is tortiere a delicious meat pie? If so, mmm.

6:52pm Holly in NC:

@doug - oh fuck I STILL owe you sauce recipe.

6:52pm Doug Schulkind:

Lucy in Brooklyn! Miss you, too. You three, even.

6:53pm earrie:

Eat and be merry; it's winter.

Hey and thanks for the fine make-good-eats tracks, Doug. I swear I'd never peel a potato if it weren't for good musics/radios.

6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

No rush, Holly. Jessie is pretty solid in the mac 'n' cheese department. I just stay outta the way.

6:53pm Ari:

Great show, merry xmas from iceland.

6:54pm glenn:

tortieer is VERY delicious meat pie.

6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey, earrie!! Stay warm up there on the Norther Tundra!

Thanks Ari!

Our next (and, sadly, last) selection proves that pee pee and dynamite do in fact mix!

6:56pm Holly in NC:

@Glenn, yes, I had once, courtesy of ex-mother in law, and I dream about it. I remember trying so hard to be polite and not eat more than my share...

6:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

6:57pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug. I hope all of you have a great holiday.

6:57pm lucy in brooklyn:

6:59pm Uncle Michael:

I'm off to munch Trader Joe's potstickers.

6:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Excellent listening, ndbob!

I'd love to stay, but I have to do some gangsta wrapping!

Thanks, Mo!

6:59pm Holly in NC:

Peace and love to everyone xo

6:59pm Doug Schulkind:

More solid Xmas sounds coming up on the Drummer Stream. I asked it nicely and it said it would get down for y'all.

6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
