Garage Sales and Websites

Posted 08-15-2008 at 01:06 PM by Nicko (ChefTalk Blog)
Crazy how busy life can get isn't it? At least for myself and my wife it just never seems to slow down unless we slow it down.

Today and tomorrow we are running a garage sale to get rid of all our junk and we have a lot of it. In the mean while I am testing out the new server for ChefTalk that we will be moving to soon. Hopefully this will resolve many of the timeouts and slow issues we are having lately. We are also testing out a new design for the fourms which should spice things...

The intimate Devil’s Garden… Escalante/Utah

If you like to play amongst the Hoodos and the Goblins this is your playground! A nice washboard road to get there, early morning will make you the star witness of the change of colors on those free standing weathered by time rock structures. Hiking the easy loop over and over is like every time hiking it for the first time as the sun rising is constantly changing the scenes on this stage empty of visitors. We were lucky with the weather that day,

Hanging out with fellow ChefTalkers...

Posted 08-13-2008 at 05:33 PM by Nicko (ChefTalk Blog)
If you are any kind of regular here in the forums you know how many wonderful people are here. All of whom love to help others succeed at cooking!

One of my favorite things to do is meet with fellow ChefTalk members when they are in Chicago. Chicago is such a central location and the host of many food and culinary events invariably members make there way to Chicago. I should also add there are a fair number of ChefTalk members in the Midwest so it is easy for us to meet up.

8.12.2008: Two Weeks Until 2nd Semester....

Posted 08-12-2008 at 06:42 PM by Stewey
So this past week, our home refrigerator died.

The bad part: We shelled out money for a new one. We also had company stay with us overnight the day it died...so no cold water for them in the Vegas heat. Not to mention that we had JUST gone grocery shopping the day before. Ugh! Fun times!

The good part: I was able to apply my knowledge from my sanitation class...test the temperatures of various food items that had thawed...and was able to save us a little chunk...
