Plus, we don't use our lovely croquet sets nearly often enough. Mr. Prywes claims to know the rules. Mr. X claims to have produced a "clunky, boxy .gif" containing an "Unofficial Codification of the Official Rules of Philolexian Croquet". Either or both of these should be placed here. + +Mr. X's Rules of Philo Croquet: +Philo croquet is played in teams. Two or three teams of two players each compete to become the first team to get both members through the course to become "stingers". + +Course set-up: +Drive in one post in approximately the center of Hamilton Lawn (ie, whatever playing field is available for Philos to play croquet). Walk nine paces from the post and set up one wicket. Then walk another nine paces away from the wicket at a forty-five degree angle calculated not to bring you closer to the post. Place another wicket. Return to the first wicket and repeat the process in the other available direction to place the third wicket. Return to the post and repeat the process in the opposite direction to place three more wickets. (See the accompanying diagram.) + +Teams: Each player chooses a color and uses the ball and mallet of that color. Players take turns hitting in the order that their colors are marked on the center post. In a 4-player game, the 1st player teams up with the 3rd, 2nd with 4th. In a 6-player game, the 1st teams up with the 4th, 2nd with 5th, 3rd with 6th. + +Sequence of Play: Choose one of the outer wickets as the first goal. Players will take their first shots from a point two and one-half mallet lengths from the first wicket. They must start from the outer part of the lawn and work inward, through the wicket. Play then proceeds to the second wicket, directly across the field, length-wise, from the first. Players must put their balls through the second wicket in an "outward" direction. + +The third wicket, across the field width-wise from the second, must be passed through in an "inward" direction. The fourth, across length-wise from the third, is also to be passed inwardly, so that players must proceed from the third wicket across the field and "behind" the fourth to hit their balls through the wicket in towards the center of the lawn. + +The fifth wicket is that roughly between the fourth and the center post, and the sixth is that on the inner part of the lawn, opposite the post from the fifth. Both of these must be passed through in an inward direction, towards the center post. Players who have cleared all the wickets must knock their balls into the center post. + +Rules of Play: Each player is allowed one hit per turn. Each time a player clears a wicket, she is allowed an additional hit. Players may also earn extra hits by hitting their balls into other players' balls on whom they are "active". One player is active on another when she has not struck the other player's ball since clearing the last wicket. + +Striking another player's ball earns two extra hits. The first of these must be taken from a point touching the struck ball. A player may NOT put her foot on either ball to stabilize it while taking this shot, but must instead use the evil laws of physics to put both balls in the position desired. + +No extra hits can be earned by putting a ball through a wicket in the wrong direction, or by hitting a ball that you've already hit unless you've cleared a wicket in the interim. A player who has missed a wicket must, must, on his next turn (or sooner if he has extra hits) return to clear the wicket from the correct direction. (See the accompanying gif diagram.) + +A player who has cleared all wickets ends her turn by striking the center post, even if she would otherwise have hits left over. + +Stingers: On clearing all the wickets and hitting the center post, a player becomes a "stinger." A stinger is active on all other players once each per turn and must help her partner clear the wickets and reach the center post while preventing her opponents from doing so. + +Winning: A team wins when both of its players are stingers.

My neighbor (and occasional partner in Cops and Robbers) had to say something like, "Shyer residence, this is Katie speaking." I thought that was a really good idea because then the person on the other line wouldn't think my mother is speaking when it's really me. A good idea, except I never tried it at my house. I would feel like a tool if I started answering the phone that way and the rest of my family never caught on. My mom answers with a polite, "Hello?" and my dad, who thinks he is cool, says "hello," but it sounds like "yellow." My brother picks up the phone with a mumble, and I just pick up the phone without hitting the "answer" button, and then run it to my mother. - -I don't know who is calling, but it's never for me. And I don't have a pen in my hand to take a message. So, even if I'm sitting right next to the phone, I won't answer it. I'll get up and walk into a different room, or yell for my mom to come answer it. She gets upset when she sees me dancing around the kitchen, skirting to and from the phone. She should be relieved, though. If I answered, I might embarrass the entire family. - -I'm mostly an adult now, so I answer my own phone. I never really talked to my brother in person or on the phone until I started college and he spent a semester abroad. When we were younger and both living at home, our discussions never went deeper than, "Can you give me a ride to soccer practice," or, "what did you get in your Easter basket?" or, most often, "Mom's crazy!" Now, we talk once in a while. It took some getting used to. - -The first time my brother and I had a phone conversation lasting longer than thirty seconds, he was in Cork. I knew that he would eventually call me just to check in, because he's not a total failure at being an older brother. What surprised me was hearing him string together more than 10 words: "How are you? Good? That's great. Meg, I was so hung-over Saturday morning that after I kissed the Blarney stone, I just wandered off into this field and passed out. Jeremy and Adam were looking for two hours before they found me." - -Jeremy and Adam are Tim's best friends; they were visiting him on their school break. My mom says they're bad influences, which is true, because I think Jeremy is a small time drug dealer and I know that Adam doesn't shower every day. But they let me borrow from their excellent collection of video games and cartoons, so I don't mind them so much. -"Tim, how much did you drink?" I laughed because the image of my older brother passed out in some lush Irish pasture was too much. But I also felt bad: one of the reasons my parents like me better is because Tim always does irresponsible things like this. Thinking that, I felt even worse. - -"Anyways," he went on, "this exchange rate is killing me. That, and beer is expensive. I'm gonna be flat out broke before the end of November at this rate." - -When my brother told my parents that he'd decided to be a history major and that he wanted to teach, they told him he'd be flat out broke for the rest of his life. His friends at school, the practical kids studying engineering and economics, gave him a lot of shit for it. When Tim decided not to apply to law school, I remember hearing his pal Adam yell in disbelief, "What are you, friggen' weird or something? What if I get arrested?" But I think that move made me respect my brother a lot more -- few would choose to be literally bankrupt instead of morally bankrupt. - -"Seriously, Tim?" I sigh, and then try not to condescend. "You know what? I'll be home next week for Thanksgiving, so I can mail you some of your savings bonds, mom won't even notice." - -"Yeah, and if she realizes what you're doing, she'll only flip out at me. You won't get in trouble, mom and dad like you better." - -It's true, but I think it's an unfair opinion. -

I did one useful thing: I stacked wood. I don't know if I've told you this before, but I really like stacking wood. Every June, my parents order two or three cords of wood; some guy in a huge truck dumps it at the top of our driveway. My brother and I wheelbarrow it to the back of the house and put it into neat piles, then cover it with a tarp. A green tarp, in fact. Most tarps are blue, but my dad has green ones. Officially, a cord of wood is 128 cubic feet. That's a lot of wood! You can go ahead and think a dirty little joke right now -- I know you'll want to. I don't know why they measure it in cords. - -I recall how you were talking about moving to a farm for the summer so you could do grueling physical labor.

No, it's got to be the bathroom at the back of the compartment. Trains aren't supposed to smell, which is why I take the train instead of the bus now. That's not entirely true. I take the train instead of the bus because my parents pay for my tickets. They still feel guilty about the time my bus was stuck in traffic for eight hours. - -Still, I'm on a four-hour train ride, and I don't know where that awful smell is coming from. I am afraid it could be me, so I try to remember if I did anything to give myself such a horrendous odor. What about the obvious? I showered and brushed my teeth in the morning. My clothes are clean. If this smell is coming from me, it's a very stealthy smell. I didn't floss, but I never floss in the morning. - -Before leaving the house, I said goodbye to my parents and my brother. There were no hugs, so I wouldn't smell like them. I start to make a list in my head of all the times my mom did and did not hug me. Most days before I started first grade, yes. Getting dropped off at summer camp, yes. But graduations, coming home for Thanksgiving, and at funerals, no. I don't know why I'm trying to make myself sad now. Not that it matters. My parents and brother shower and brush their teeth; they wouldn't even have an awful smell to give to anyone else. I don't know if my brother flosses. - -I had yogurt for breakfast. I give myself a mental high-five when I remember this, for a number of reasons. First, because I had breakfast, which is an important meal. Second, because I remembered exactly what I had for breakfast, which is something I sometimes can't do. Third, because yogurt isn't one of those foods that smell so strongly that it will seep out of your skin all day. - -Before I left the house, I threw a pillow at the cat because he spent the past week trying to kill me. Then I went to scratch his ears because he's the family pet we've had for ten years and he's going to miss me. Did I wash my hands after? Do my hands smell like cat now? I don't want to smell my hands while I'm sitting on a crowded train. There's a man who looks like he's in his early thirties sitting next to me. He's got the window seat, but he's not enjoying the scenic view. He has his laptop computer open, and he's typing away at some spreadsheet. If I smelled my hands right now, he'd notice. - -But so what? This guy's a complete stranger. Who cares if he feels awkward? In three and a half hours, I'll be back in New York and I'll never see him again. That's right, I tell myself, time to be bold. I tap him on the shoulder. - -"Hey, can you smell my hand real quick?" - -"Excuse me?" - -"I'm sorry. I started that off wrong. I meant to say, it just me, or is there something on this train that smells awful?" I'm solving the mystery of the weird smell and improving my self-confidence at the same time. - -"You mean your hand?" he asks. - -"Oh, uh, I don't know. I mean, I can't tell." I'm stammering now. Despite the plush seats and ample leg room, this is going to be a very uncomfortable train ride. - -"I'm not going to smell your hand," he tells me this with a very serious look on his face. - -"Yeah, I know." - -Right now, I would crawl into a cave that smells ten times worse if it meant I could forget the fact that I just asked a complete stranger to smell my hand. So I give up. Even if I figure out what smells so terrible, I can't do anything about it. -

Cooking large portions in advance helps, but I think it’s somewhat unsatisfying to eat that way on a regular basis. Those foods that can be more easily prepared beforehand tend to be heavier and less appealing during the summer – lasagnas or casseroles or big braises. I’ve recently acquired a <a href="http://www.sousvidesupreme.com">Sous Vide Supreme</a> oven, and it’s completely changing the way I look at this.</p> <p>Sous vide cooking is actually pretty simple – you seal the food in a vacuum bag (like a Foodsaver bag) and then cook it in a precise temperature water bath at very close to the temperature you want the final product to be. If you’ve eaten in a high end restaurant in the past few years, you’ve had food cooked sous vide – almost all of them are using it now, with good reason. When the food is done (at minimum, enough time for the middle to reach the equilibrium temperature), you take it out of the bag, sear it in a hot pan if needed (most proteins will benefit from a little browning to develop more flavor, but they really only need about 30 seconds per side in a very hot pan on the stove), and serve it right away. If you leave it in the water bath for a few extra hours, it’s no problem – the texture of some food will break down after an extended period of time, but for the most part, it’s hard to overcook things (fish and eggs are two exceptions – they’re more finicky about timing, but that still buys you a margin of an hour or two over). Because you can set the oven at 1 degree increments and it will stay at pretty much exactly that temperature, you can get exquisite results with very little effort, and if you get distracted, it’s no problem.</p> <p>There are a few issues with trying to get dinner on the table with small children in the house, and these problems are triply compounded with only one parent in the house – you can get distracted by having to change a diaper or give one of the kids a little extra attention. Right before dinner is crankypants time. The kids might want to stay out at the park for an extra half an hour or 45 minutes. You might want to stay out at the park for an extra half hour or 45 minutes. There goes your prep time. Watching a chicken breast or a steak cook on the stove for 15-20 minutes with a small child is far too long (and takes away from the time to cook the rest of the meal), but searing for a minute or two while everything else comes together is completely doable. What’s even better is that you can do the sous vide step the day before, plop the bag right into an ice bath, and then put it in the fridge until dinner time, when you just have to take it out and sear it or warm it. What’s even better than that is that you can put the bag in the sous vide oven directly from the freezer. And what’s even better than that is that this entire process actually makes your end result tastier and more nutritious instead of compromising quality. Commercial frozen convenience food is generally pretty terrible. Sous vide food is simply… better.</p> -<p>My wife and I both work long hours, and getting dinner on the table can be a challenge. Often, our window for doing so may be as little as 15-20 minutes from the time we walk in the door, otherwise the kids will start to get hungry and have a hard time settling down to eat. In the past year, we’ve missed that window more often than I’d like, and if we have a half an hour or more of cooking ahead of us, we’ll usually end up ordering instead. In addition to being less healthy overall, this can cost us around $30-$40 <strong><em>per meal</em></strong> over the cost of what we would have paid for ingredients for dinner, even buying top quality ingredients at the farmer’s market. At $450, the Sous Vide Supreme is pricey, but if it can prevent us from ordering out even once a week, it will literally pay for itself in four months. We’ve already used it five times in the first week. Time will tell if this is a novelty effect, but so far I’ve been overwhelmingly thrilled with the results. There’s been a lot of focus on 30 minute meals, but for a busy working parent or two, that can be an eternity. I love to cook, but even after years of practice, my timing isn’t perfect. Pair the Sous Vide Supreme with a rice cooker with a timer and a microwave vegetable steamer and it becomes possible to get a completely freshly cooked dinner on the table with minimal work in less than ten minutes. Even without going to that extreme, it significantly cuts the amount of stove time required for a “regular” meal. </p> +<p>My wife and I both work long hours, and getting dinner on the table can be a challenge.

In addition to being less healthy overall, this can cost us around $30-$40 <strong><em>per meal</em></strong> over the cost of what we would have paid for ingredients for dinner, even buying top quality ingredients at the farmer’s market. At $450, the Sous Vide Supreme is pricey, but if it can prevent us from ordering out even once a week, it will literally pay for itself in four months. We’ve already used it five times in the first week. Time will tell if this is a novelty effect, but so far I’ve been overwhelmingly thrilled with the results. There’s been a lot of focus on 30 minute meals, but for a busy working parent or two, that can be an eternity. I love to cook, but even after years of practice, my timing isn’t perfect. Pair the Sous Vide Supreme with a rice cooker with a timer and a microwave vegetable steamer and it becomes possible to get a completely freshly cooked dinner on the table with minimal work in less than ten minutes. Even without going to that extreme, it significantly cuts the amount of stove time required for a “regular” meal.</p> <p>Sous vide cooking certainly requires some planning ahead – it’s not for quick dinners unless you start early, but you don’t have to really figure out how early to start – putting the bag in before you leave in the morning is just fine. It’s also a huge psychological boost, because when you get home, dinner’s already on the way to being cooked. When all you want to do is sit down after a long day and the kids are hungry, it really helps to have things already started.</p> <p>We’ve done chicken breasts, steak, 30 hour country style pork ribs, carrots in butter – all pretty perfect. Soft boiled eggs and pork chops deserve special mention. Eggs do completely different things in sous vide, because the yolk actually cooks at a lower temperature than the white, and so it cooks first. A soft boiled egg in sous vide gets you a creamy but cooked yolk and a runny white. It’s strange, but entirely delicious. Hard boiled eggs were a little off, because cooking at a high enough temperature to set the white actually overcooks the yolk a little bit. I prefer 8 minutes in water just off the boil. Big fat scallops came out intensely creamy and tender.</p> <p>And then, there are the pork chops. I’ve struggled for years to get a perfectly cooked pork chop. I’ve tried pan frying, broiling, baking, and braising, and nothing works reliably. They’re just too lean and too thin. They overcook before the outside starts to brown. With sous vide, they’re just right, every time, with almost no effort. They’re cooked all the way through, but not overcooked, and they’re so tender that you can cut them with a fork.</p> diff --git a/planet/Adam_Fields/Sous_Vide_Black_Beans._aggregated b/planet/Adam_Fields/Sous_Vide_Black_Beans._aggregated index 9f06a44..52907a1 100644 --- a/planet/Adam_Fields/Sous_Vide_Black_Beans._aggregated +++ b/planet/Adam_Fields/Sous_Vide_Black_Beans._aggregated @@ -1,11 +1,9 @@ <p>I couldn’t find a recipe for making dried beans sous vide for my <a href="http://www.aquick.org/blog/2010/05/17/in-praise-of-the-sous-vide-supreme/">Sous Vide Supreme</a>, so I winged it.
