Went completely different for Thanksgiving for myself and a friend this year. Sous Vide T-bones finished off on a 600 degree grill with mushrooms and oven baked sweet potatoes w/ shallots, bacon, fennel pollen, garlic and thyme. With a little dessert of what i call Cake Soup: angel food cake, rasberry sorbet, rasberries, blueberries and whip cream and a blueberry pie. Had to have Diet Dr. Pepper to start as the wine was still too cold as i forgot to take it out of the fridge. Now i need to take my second trip to the gym today.

I give you The Great Wall of Mayberry!

Tim and I often made steak for Thanksgiving dinner... much better than turkey.

Delicious onion soup take out from the brasserie up the street.

So I picked up the Chord Mojo as a B-day gift to myself and wasn't expecting to be blown away but so far after 2 days I am pretty stoked. Bests the portable players I have here like the Sony NW x2, iBasso dx90, Caylx and the 901. Sucks that it is not a full dap and I have to strap it to a note3 or iPhone or computer but worth the hassle. Anyone else here take the plunge on this, it so far has kicked ass with the JH13 and 16s as well as my LCD X and the AT W3ks, Lots of texture and spatial cues with the mojo. More info t come if anyone is interested. Pairs very well with IPAs and pale ales!

It seems some of the Impulse jazz titles are making their way to Esoteric's ultra-premium releases. I am glad to coordinate cheaper acquisition if anyone is interested. http://www.esoteric.jp/products/esoteric/essi90133_38/indexe.html

Cheesecake anyone?

JP, got one myself, using it at work. Spot on IMO when you say "Lots of texture and spatial cues." Using mine with Cardas-cabled Senn 650's. BTW, when I first went to install the driver, something hiccupped on my machine....it gave me a message that made me sad in an Austin Powers kind of way (OK now)

Hi everyone! It's been a long road from inception to reality, but the γ3 is finally out! Check its website: http://www.amb.org/audio/gamma3/ and its companion module, the γ24: http://www.amb.org/audio/gamma24/

This silly place -- Absolute Noodle and Sushi -- made the mistake of letting me put together my own plate. So I kept going and going -- I don't think there's a name for this, but if there is, it'd be something like "white devil hedon gluts self and is slothful". It was tasty delicious. That's duck meat, by the way. I'll try one of their standard fare dishes this week -- if it's anything as good as this was, I may have found my NYC-quality ramen place in DC, and it's walking distance from work.

You mean, you can tell a mongrel from a purebred in 15 minutes...? I thought they were all mongrels....

Yes I have still have been baking, a lot.. Starting to get the hang of this thing. Something new that came out well, thought I would share. This is a combo bulgur flour that I ground up at home, along with oat flour, that I made with adding bulgur porridge as well. At a high hydration.. Really nice bake and flavor Good eats with unsalted cultured butter. Cheers
