Sun, 27 July 2008  It's the perfect antidote to our last few boozy Chowcast episodes - the hangover breakfast!No hangover breakfast would be complete without bacon in one form or another, so we indulge in some bacon, egg and cheddar sandwiches on fabulous soft pretzel bread. Then, inspired by a recent bed and breakfast stay, Sous fires off a batch of white chocolate cherry scones (with a little bit of water-wing support from The Chef!) Along the way, we extol the virtues of drive-in movies and Quaker Steak & Lube, welcome (?) a guest dog, explore the virtues and horrors of liverwurst and, after some discussion think better of a potential Chowcast spin-off.  Mmmmm...candy...  You can't really go wrong with this combination...  Chef can't help but get his fingers in the dough... 
Mmmm...sconetastic! Links to things we talk about: A recipe for scones that's pretty close to what we made can be found here.

Tue, 15 July 2008 Un Autre Hasard de Vacances translated to "Another Random Holiday", if Google is to be believed. Today's random holiday? Bastille Day. In honor of France's holiday, we throw down à la française with the help of our special guests, Munch and Joni. They're here to help us with our French pronunciation as well as consume French wine and The Chef's steaks with beurre rouge (red wine butter).  Beurre rouge: before  Beurre rouge: after!  Tasty morels!  Slightly scary nobbly corn! Stuff We Talk About: - Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook (the source of The Chef's beurre rouge recipe)- Morel mushrooms - our pre-dinner snack, courtesy of Munch - Composer and mushroom expert John Cage - The M37 Meat Shack in Bitely, Michigan We round out the show with a couple of voicemails from friends of the show.

Mon, 7 July 2008  It's an historic Chowcast as we welcome our first-ever guests, Tom (The Brewmaster) and his lovely wife, Alix. (Names may or may not have been changed to protect the innocent and/or guilty.) While The Brewmaster takes us on a tour of his tour-de-force concoctions, we diverge on topics ranging from "gateway beers" to oatmeal focus groups; from the merits of cats versus dogs (DOGZ RULE!) to the surprising classification of the banana as a berry (at least, according to The Brewmaster. Also, a raspberry is not a berry but rather a conglomerate of podules...)A few beers and some amazing English crisps go down real good on this fine, summer day. Clink and drink with us!  Mr. Beer - prepackaged beery goodness!  I'll take the potion on the left with a side of salty nuts, please!  Mmmmm...meat crisps! 
More beefy goodness! The Chef will try hard not to eat them bag and all.

The beer recipe The Brewmaster mentioned is forthcoming - watch this space! Contact Us: 206-333-0669 chowcast@yahoo.com Cheers! Comments[1] |
