Ok, let's see if I can knock a few out before bedtime...
What does RJ stand for? Ron Jeremy?
Close... Ronald James
Actually, I have two questions I've been wanting to ask RJ for a while now.
What is your absolute favorite thing to cook?
What is the most challenging thing you've ever had to cook?
Favorite to cook? Probably any braised dish, like an osso bucco or a lamb shank. Something about developing such intense flavors over the course of a day or two is just exhilerating.
Most challenging? Not sure, learning to make a hollandaise so many years ago sure was tricky. As of late, it would be more the fine detailed knife work of garde manger than anything else.
You ever gonna visit Arizona??
The Grand Canyon is on our to do list, so yes, someday.
Lonestar, do you ever watch any of those shows on The Food Network (and possibly others, I don't know) where they have 30 minutes to create a banquet for 200 people out of carton of table scraps and fast-food leftovers or some shit? And if you do, do you laugh your ass off at them, as I do when I happen to catch some of that shit when my wife is watching it?
I gave up on Food Network a while back, it really lost its way around the time they got Guy on it.
When are we going to see you on Chopped??
We expect a DTF shout out when you do get on!!
Not in a million years, I'm way too private a person.
Which region or ethnicity eats the best?
What are some things you can buy from the store as good as you can make them? Or, that are good enough to not bother with?
What's the tastiest animal?
Does being a chef ever get you laid?
Creole food.
Actually the swansons pre made stocks are pretty good for everyday purposes, just get the unsalted ones.
Tastiest animal? Either a cold water Alaskan Halibut or a good northwest Dungeness crab.
Yes, many many times. I advise every man to learn to cook, it's a fantastic way to impress a lady.
Hey buddy. How has your cleaner life changed your world?
Have you ever just worn your cheffie poo jacket in the bedroom?
How would you say are the differences from living in the west coast to living in the eastern States?
I've had troubles with depression and anxiety my whole life, plus I always had a massive victim complex. The work involved in recovery, between the 12 steps and that with a therapis, really changed my whole outlook. I let go of things so much easier. I approach everything, and respond to everything, in such a positive manner. and I now have the freedom to let other aspects of my life grow. I say to anyone struggling, just do it. Go to a meeting and do the work, if you don't like it we'll happily refund your misery
No, I haven't but I'm sure the lady wouldn't mind.
The bay area has everything I need within a two hour radius. I don't plan on ever moving. I've only lived in Atlanta on the east coast, and though I liked it I wouldn't live there again.
I thought of this as a random question for floyd, but I'd be interested in your answer as well: suppose you had a month to travel, unlimited amounts of money and didn't have to worry about visas and shit like that, how would your ideal trip look? Where would you stop off, for how long, and what would you do at each stop?
Also, what is some tasty, healthy and cheap food that you would recommend for a college student? I'm having trouble satisfying all three of those things at once, but I figured it anybody knew how to do it, then you.
I'll think on the vacation one for a bit, and answer in a separate post.
As to food, just eat veggies pan cooked. A little salt and pepper to wake them up and you can go far on a few dollars. Heat the pan with oil. add your veggies, and finish with s&p. Maybe put it on some rice and your good to go. I need to write a college student cookbook, I'd make a fortune.
