I recently purchase a used ironman 210. Yesterday I was welding hot rolled steel 3/18 inch thick. All was working fine. The welder setting were 4 for volts and 40 for wire feed. Today, started to continue the project and the wire would not feed. I tried many things. The wire would start to feed at settings of 60 and higher. The drive wheel has little torque at low settings (I can stop the wheel with my hand at settings below 40 and at high settings I cant). The wire drive motor is
cool to the hand. What has changed?
I have a new torch assembly and mig wire is 0.035.
Any ideas on what is wrong would be great. Larry

Hobart Ironman 210 wire feed problem

Hi, Cope, Thanks for your thoughts. I have tried numerous combinations of tension on the drive wheel and the wire spool drive. The wire speed is not very sensitive to these settings so this does not seem to be the problem. The drive wheel will not rotate at a setting at 20 even with out tension on the idler wheel. Something changed in the welder from one day to the next. The welder is not right and may not be reliable.
The wire speed at setting 70 should be obtained with a setting around 20 or 30. I can and do weld with wire speed settings around 70 plus.

HI, ALL, Your thoughts are very welcome.
I will check the wire feed pot with an ohm meter. But it seems to work very smoothly. This could be an easy fix.
Can slow wire feed seem like low voltage? Two days ago I was welding 18 gauage square tubing into a bracket. I started welding with the wire feed at 70 and the voltage at 6. Earlier, I had used these setting for one inch welds on 3/16" x 2" hot rolled steel. These settings were ok for vertical down welds on the tubing. For horizontal butt welds I had to cut the voltage to 4 and the wire feed stayed at 70. Maybe the voltage is OK on this welder and only the wire feed rate is not right.
Where can I buy the small circuit board?
Thanks for the comments, Larry

I am about to graduate from a good US school with a Computer Science degree, having good grades and high GPA. I have no freaking clue how to write a good program, how to properly test it... nada, zero.
We were never taught how to write software. Yeah, sure the Computer Architecture class is important, and I can tell you a lot about how MIPS processor works, and I can tell you about Binary Trees and Red-Black Trees and running time of operations in Big Oh, but it has nothing to do with programming in "real" life. Heavens to Betsy, none of my classmates know how to use STLs or write templated code! To be honest, I found many of my classes to be a waste of time.
What should I do? How do I step into real life and learn how to program ?

Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Comfort Waist Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
I've purchased Eddie Bauer "khakis" type pants for 30 years. I wanted to love these pants. Problem is the front zipper is too short - at least for long rise pants in the larger sizes. The front zipper is so short, it looks like it came from a pair of women's pants. It's so short it would be comical - except men's pants need a zipper that fully descends - ouch! I can't believe Eddie Bauer's quality control allowed the release of the long rise pants with this short zipper.
Besides the zipper, the pants are great. If they start using a longer zipper in the long rise, I would highly recommend them.

Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Comfort Waist Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
These slacks are a nice surprise. They aren't going to pass as part of a business suit, but they are high enough quality to match up with a blazer for a business outfit. They are comfortable, roomy and overall a great fit!

Best Uses
Comments about Men's Wrinkle-Free Relaxed Fit Comfort Waist Pleated Performance Dress Khaki Pants:
These pants are extremely comfortable and hold their very nice look after washing. The fabric is substantial and adds to their appearance. Having cuffs and pleats makes them suitable not only for casual wear but a night out on the town too. For instance, they go very well with a sportshirt as well as a blue blazer or a brown sport coat. I am particularly pleased with how comfortable these pants are on me. I was able to buy them in my exact waist and inseam which is not always so easy. I rate them very highly and bought more in different colors. These pants, especially when on sale, are a terrific buy. Enjoy! Eddie Bauer should definitely keep these pants in their catalog as they are a truly great item.

Pretty much everyone has cursed PennDOT at one time or another, but I have to say they were Johnny-on-the-spot as I was driving home after the midnight hour on Thursday. I passed at least two trucks throwing down anti-skid to combat the snow soup that came down. I knew we were going to have a storm, but I thought it would come later and that it would be either snow or rain, not the weird mixture that signaled Mother Nature couldn't decide if it was still winter or the beginning of spring. Even though I've been wearing sturdy but fashionable boots in various colors since October, on a whim I had decided to wear brown metallic flats on Thursday. Very nice, but not adequate for slushiness. Woe betide me – between the watery, icy river on Brusselles Street and the rain pouring down, I was looking like a drowned rat and had really wet feet before I got to the car. I forgot that no matter how hopeful you are about the weather, if you live in Pennsylvania, and especially in Elk County, during the winter, you should be prepared for everything from sunshine to blizzards to driving rain to snow soup. Lesson learned. Guess I'll go back to boots for now. Oh, spring, where are you?

When Exercising, Don't Skip Stretching
It's no stretch to say that a lot of us underestimate the value of flexibility.
While it's true that stretching won't strengthen your heart or flatten your stomach, it can help you reach those goals more efficiently. Aerobic exercise and strength training need muscles that are in balance and work smoothly. That's where stretching comes in -- as a complement to the activity you choose. It's so important the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) includes flexibility training in its recommendations for staying fit.
Exercise, and other factors, can cause your muscles to shorten. By regularly stretching the muscles, you counteract that shortening. Stretching promotes flexibility, allowing you to move your muscles and joints through their full range of motion.
Muscles that are warmed up before being put under a sudden stress are more likely to be able to handle the stress. Mild warm-up exercises before vigorous exertion is always recommended.
Stretching before exercise may help to decrease injury to your muscles, ligaments and tendons. Although there is disagreement as to whether stretching before exercising is preferable to stretching after exercise, the overall benefits of flexibility are not disputed.
Stretching can help keep the body limber by releasing muscle tension and tightness. A tight muscle is not able to function like it should.
Stretching with poor technique can make a stretch less effective, and it can even can cause injury, especially to vulnerable body parts like the lower back and knee. Consulting a qualified instructor is probably the best way to learn technique. But a yoga class, videotape, or book can suffice.
Once you educate yourself about stretching you'll find that it's an important part of your overall wellness.
How to get the most from your stretching
Do five to 10 minutes of walking or light jogging to warm up before you start exercising and stretching. Do not try to stretch muscles when they are "cold."
Stretch at least two to three times a week. If you work out two to three times a week, just make it part of your workout routine.
Stretch all major muscle groups, especially those your activity involves. For running or other leg-centered exercise, that means the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. Stretch the shoulders, chest, and back before activities working the upper body.
Stretch each muscle group individually using slow, gentle movements. Breathe while you stretch, exhaling as you move into the stretch. Hold the position no more than 20 to 30 seconds. Three to five repetitions is recommended.
Don't try to balance and stretch at the same time. Holding onto a chair or wall for standing stretches provides more stability.
Don't bounce while you stretch or make sudden movements. Back off if you experience pain. Stretching should not take a joint past its normal range of motion. Stretching the wrong way can harm muscles by creating small tears that may become bigger when you exercise.
Three good stretches
Quadriceps: Stand with knees together. Pull your left leg up behind you with your left hand; keep your torso upright and pull your heel toward your buttocks. Brace yourself with your right hand. Switch legs and repeat.
Hamstrings: Sit on the floor; extend your left leg in front of you. Put your right foot against your inner left thigh. Gently bend forward from the hips, keeping back straight. Switch legs and repeat.
Chest: Stand facing a wall. Put your right palm and forearm flat against the wall, then rotate your torso to the left. Switch sides and repeat.

Student Tyler Orton, 23, has pedaled his way back from a rough start at George Mason University by taking a personal hobby to the next level.
A former jazz studies major at the university, Orton — who was paying his own way through college — had to drop out when the economy tanked.
An environmental advocate with a passion for bicycles, Orton regained his stride when he received an opportunity to pair hobby with salary.
�I�ve worked in bike shops basically since I moved down here [from Erie, Pa.],� he said. �[GMU] was looking for someone to help start up the bike program.�
Orton landed a paid internship during the summer of 2011 with the university to help organize a pro-bike campaign. He now leads the program, serving as Mason�s bicycle program manager.
Beginning this fall, GMU is rolling out a rent-a-bicycle program called Patriot Bikeshare. Paid for by a $36,000 in-house Patriot Green Fund grant, the program currently offers students, professors, staff and community members the opportunity to rent one of 20 bicycles stationed at four locations on the Fairfax campus: the Johnson Center, the Starbucks Coffee in Northern Neck Hall, the Shenandoah Parking Deck and the Quad by Krug Hall.
Mason students can buy a monthly pass for unlimited-use (two-hour blocks) for $6, with a 95-cent fee if exceeding the two-hour limit and a $1 charge for each additional half-hour of use. Daily subscriptions run $3 for a 12-hour pass.
�This is something we�ve been working on for a while following the trend of the Capital Bikeshare [available in Washington, D.C., and Arlington],� said Orton, who is back in school and now majoring in environmental and sustainability studies to support his pro-green efforts.
�With the success of the Capital Bikeshare, we thought it would be a success here,� he said.
So far, the number of users to try Mason�s bike-share program has exceeded Orton�s expectations.
�Our goal for the first semester was to have a hundred users and we�re already three months ahead of that,� he said. �We�ve had 500 usages � Currently, we have 20 bikes and the intent is to expand as soon as we can.�
Users also said they would like to see the program expand.
�I passed by the bikes on my way to my office. I bicycle for recreation and transportation, so I was interested,� said history professor Zachary M. Schrag, 42, who commutes by car to campus. �I use the bikes sporadically, mainly between the Johnson Center, near my office, and Northern Neck, which is on the way to the Rappahannock Parking Deck. If there were a Bikeshare station at Rappahannock itself, that would save me more time.�
Schrag added that the bicycles are easy to use and rent.
On the backside of each bike, near the seat is a three-light panel that indicates whether the bicycle is in use or available to rent. A red light indicates a bike is currently in use, yellow that it is locked and green means it�s good-to-go for renting riders.
Users have three options for checking out a bike. They can call 703-594-4050 to reach an automated system. They can text the same number with a user pin and the bike�s information, or they can use a mobile app — gmu.viacycle.com/m — to rent a bike.
The bike-share program is run by the university�s Office of Parking and Transportation. Users can register for a bike-share pass at www.gmu.viacycle.com/signup.
�I have always wanted to become a better bike rider and the [Patriot] Bikeshare is allowing me to bike on campus for a cheap cost, without the stress of managing upkeep on the bikes,� said GMU sophomore Roger LeBlanc, 19, an environmental and sustainability studies major. LeBlanc lives on campus. �I use the Bikeshare about once a week to get to the vegetable garden on the other side of campus or to go grocery shopping across the street. I have also used it when I�m running late for a class. Patriot Bikeshare is a really viable option if you are not ready to buy your own bike, or if you just need a bike for the day.�

Donny Fallgatter, former lead singer of KingBillys and former contestant on CMT's reality show Sweet Home Alabama, performed at the Bella Beach stage on Saturday afternoon.
Fallgatter performed several new songs that he said would be on his new record, which is "coming soon." However, the highlight of the show was at the end, when Fallgatter announced, "We're gonna need some dancing participation for this next song."
This got the crowd excited, and many close to the stage followed Fallgatter's instructions as they danced along to the song "Stomping Ground."
Following Fallgatter's performance, The Henningsens took the stage.
The Henningsens are a self-proclaimed "farm" family band from Illinois, and have gained notoriety for co-writing the songs "You Lie" and "All Your Life" for The Band Perry.
The show started with the song "American Beautiful," and as lead vocalist Clara Henningsen was preparing to introduce the song, many fans near the stage were shouting, "No!"
Turns out this was appropriate, as she flashed a smile and laughed a little bit and then said, "This next song is a song called 'No.' "
The concert ended with a song called "To Believe," which was introduced by Brian Henningsen, the father in the family band, as a song about "making it."
"We're so glad to be playing at the CMA Fest," he said. "Sometimes you don't know if you're gonna make it. This song is just about making it."
-- Jake Old, The Tennessean

Comments about Wander Dog Hammock:
I own an 80lb dog that has black hair and attracts dirt like dirtball on Charlie Brown. We used a blanket previously but it would fall off the car seat or just not work. This was easy to install and when we take him to the park or beach don't have to spend an hour after we get home to clean my car. Good purchase.

You're using an inverter machine. That's why I recommend the Lanthanated or Ceriated tungsten. The Sync is a transformer based squarewave machine. The Thoriated tungsten works fine for what Nails is working on.
As Clint suggested, I suspect you possibly wicked a little of the puddle up on your tungsten. Won't be the first time, won't be the last, especially when welding like you are.
Your amp setting should be fine. I'm more familiar with the Sync 250 than I am with the 200 but shouldn't be much different. With your foot pedal all the way down, you should get the max amps dialed into the machine. As long as you're able to generate your puddle in 2-3 seconds your max setting is fine. You'll want to back off from there as heat builds in the puddle. Since you've got pulse capability on your sync you could use that to help freeze the puddle, but I think that's opening a whole new bag of tricks. You'll need to play with some similar gauge scrap to get a feel for your own pulse settings and what works for you. The thing you need to keep in mind, you're not doing a structural weld where penetration is all inportant, you're trying to minimize the heat while still maintaining a molten puddle. It's a fine line between the two. As you work at feeding the filler and backing off on the amps you'll hit that sweet spot where you just "know it's right". In doing that vertical fill (firewall) you'll find that you want to use about 25-30% fewer amps than you would if you were filling a hole in material "in position".
Keep us posted on your progress. Sounds like you're making great headway.
PS. Sounds like you're now getting things dialed in. If it makes any sense, I'd just say that you want to use your arc to chase that filler around the circumference of the hole.

Tig Welding Sheet Metal
One thing you may encounter when filling holes is if the metal is double thickness, paint may be actually trapped between the two layers and this could be causing contamination. Paint on the other side of the hole can cause contamination, as it burns off and makes it way out of the hole.
I would definitely recommend making a patch for the holes you are filling. As HMW mentioned using some .035" wire is a good bet for filler wire. I use a 1/16" tungsten in my water cooled torch, that works good for most sheet metal applications. There are sheet metal plug kits made just for filling holes in sheet metal. These kits have assorted size plugs, if your exact size is not available you can use a step drill to drill up to the right size. The step drill also leave a nice chamfer that deburrs the hole, which makes for a cleaner patch. You can also cut them from sheet for larger holes. Tacking a piece of welding rod to the patch can allow you to hold the patch in place wile you weld. You may need to fusion weld one edge while you hold it in place and then once its tacked use filler rod on the opposite side and then you can finish weld.
Tig welding has advantages on sheet metal repair. I use it all the time when I install new patch panels and make custom sheet metal parts but there are a few places where MIG welding may actually be more advantageous. Filling holes on your firewall would be best done with a MIG. For 1) its faster. 2) if done properly it will transfer less heat to the panel, so less potential warping. 3) not quite as fussy if there is a bit of paint left. Also MIG welding holes with a copper spoon behind the metal works great, holes up to 1/2" can be filled that way. Any larger I would recommend a patch. .023 wire with argon/co2 works great. I have noticed that the smaller MIG welders work best for this type of work.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project.
lots of great info, but i gota add one small part.
I have noticed that the smaller MIG welders work best for this type of work.
i had the opportunity to use a MM210 on some 20 gage and it performed as well if not better then my MM135. although you may consider the MM210 as still in the small MIG version.aether way it was an excellent fit for the job. and with both MIGs going at once the job went fast and easy.
P.S. good to have you with us, welcome to the site. looks like you have lots of great info to share.thanks for the help

summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
I was watching some show on TV and they were filling in various sized holes in auto sheet metal. One method I saw them use on small holes was to take a TIG torch at low amperage and fill the holes with uncoated silicon bronze brazing rod. I havn't tried it myself but it looked pretty easy and blended nice with a light sanding.
I was watching some show on TV
it looked pretty easy
always end up in the same statement at some point and yet they almost always end up being some of the biggest pains in the ars!!
i think it looks easy due to the ability to stop the camera and re-shoot as needed.
has any one tried this ?? being as he was using uncoated rod, would he have had to pre-flux it with a past or powder before adding the rod ?
i like the powder better then the pre-fluxed rod's. but i never tried it with my TIG, only with O/A torches.thanks for the help
hope i helped

My understanding of the process is you don't need the flux like you do for O/A brazing because of the Argon flow while using the tig torch.

The camera was easy to set and use. I would highly recommend this camera if you are looking for something small. Was this review helpful? Yes No Super small............ Written By LiveFreeNH, New Hampshire on Saturday, November 02, 2013 Fine digital camera if you want or need the smallest available. The only thing smaller is a much more expensive 'spy' camera. The lack of a removable battery and memory card was disconcerting at first, but the internal memory at 7.3 Gb is more than adequate. A fully charged battery also provides about 180 pics and is easily recharged from any USB power outlet. I also found this to be a very rugged camera that holds up very well to use and abuse. At the original list price, it may have been considered too expensive. At the reduced list price and the now bargain sale price, it is a DEAL! Pros: Smallest size, rugged, large internal memory, simple battery charging, low sale price Cons: Lack of removable memory card, sealed internal battery(like Apple) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Nikon Coolpix S01 is not the best small camera but great to carry daily for taking pictures for watercolor painting ideas and colors. It keeps my art photos separate from my smart phone and can quickly be down loaded without tying up the smart phone. It is good for the price and probably be great for a first learning camera. I'm good with it's a 3x and not a 10X or 12X zoom. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I thought it was so cute I had to have one too. It is so small and compact which is great for when you are especially going out with a small purse. I know with how well cell phone cameras take pictures and all but this can zoom in a lot better. I also like the fact that it can store a good amount of photos especially since you can't use an SD card. Overall, for the price it is a great camera to have.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Small and super Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 9/14/2012 10:41:00 AM Sure, I've seen the pictures. But it wasn't until I took the Coolpix S01 out of the box that I realised just how small this camera actually is! How small? Well, I can place it in the palm of my hand, curl my fingers around it and completely hide it from view. I admire how Nikon condensed all the functionality of a normal sized point-and-shoot camera into this compact camera. Of course, some compromises were made, but as I used the camera in the Crutchfield Labs taking test photos and videos, I quickly learned to work around them. Virtually all the controls are on the touchscreen. But since the screen's so small, they're usually hidden. You have to navigate to them to make changes. But that's OK. The automatic settings do a great job in most situations. It does take a little time to navigate from photo to video mode, but once you're there, everything operates smoothly. There's no removeable battery or memory card they're both built-in. It just means you have to plug the camera into the charger rather than the battery. And since the camera has a mini-USB port and comes with a USB charging cable, you can recharge the camera's battery while you're transfering images from the S01 to your computer. The built-in memory's pretty generous, and should be plenty for most people. Especially for casual photo and video shooting, such as vacation, party, wedding, etc. But if you're used to taking lots of HD video and swapping out memory cards as they fill up with your camera, you might have to plan your shooting a little more carefully with the S01 (or have a laptop handy to keep the S01's memory cleared out). But for just having something to take along for those off-the-cuff photos, the compactness and functionality of the S01 is a combination that's tough to beat. What are the Labs?

absurd / theme
The realm of the absurd is thoroughly out-of-place, the realm of waking dream, where random juxtaposition seems at once unremarkable, sinister, and hilarious. The absurd shocks with incongruity. By perturbing the familiar environment, absurdism draws to our attention that which we take for granted, yet have seldom taken the time to scrutinize. Its frequently unsettling effect is to make the fish aware of the water in which it swims.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Nowhere else in America has the unemployment rate jumped so high, so fast than in Elkhart.
A year ago, this northern Indiana community was prospering, with unemployment hovering at 4.4 percent. But this summer the recession hit and it hit hard.
Several big recreational vehicle manufacturers slashed jobs. Then their suppliers followed with layoffs. Unemployment has now reached 10.7 percent -- that's nearly one out of every nine people without work.
"Our plant just closed down," said Ed Neufeldt, who lost his job with RV manufacturer Monaco Coach Sept. 17. "They just closed the doors."
Based on ABC News calculations of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Elkhart's unemployment rate jumped 143 percent in the last 12 months -- it's the highest increase of any metropolitan area in the country.
After 32 years with Monaco Coach, Neufeldt finds himself on unemployment, searching for a new job when most local companies are laying people off.
"We were one of the big corporations around the area. The building was one of the biggest buildings in northern Indiana," Neufeldt said. "When it shut down, it was a big shock to everyone."
When his unemployment runs out, Neufeldt said he hopes to find a job "washing dishes or sweeping floors or something."
To pass the time and give something back to his community, Neufeldt and other unemployed RV workers are helping a homeless shelter gut and renovate a building for an expansion.
"I wanted something to do. I wanted the fellowship," he said. "We've all took a big loss in our 401(k) and we don't have jobs and stuff. It seems like we're happy up here."
The Faith Mission homeless shelter, where Neufeldt and other unemployed workers are volunteering, currently has 136 beds. Their work will allow the shelter to add 20 more.
"To see these people who don't have a roof over their head -- they don't have a job either. They're really down," Neufeldt said. "That just lifts your spirits up and you think to yourself, 'man I've got it pretty good after all, even though I don't have a job.'"
Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the Economic Development Corp. of Elkhart County, said that the RV industry had been devastated by high gas prices and then a tightening of credit to buy the large vehicles.
"It's discretionary income being spent on larger-priced items," she said.
More than 480 companies in the area have let go of one or more employees, she said.
Donnie Gaut worked for 13 years at RV-maker Travel Supreme before losing his job in April.
"I've been job hunting and haven't found anything," Gaut said. "It's just been such a blessing to be able to help other people out. You don't think about your situation."
On Monday night his wife learned that her company will close and that she will likely lose her job.
"What really helps me out the most is having trust in God and believing he will provide. That's what carries me through every day as far [as] keeping joy in my heart and peace in my mind," Gaut said. "It's what we need around this area right now because every week you hear about somebody else shutting down."
Like many other communities around the country, Elkhart has adapted to a recession that is looking longer and deeper each week.
The local Chamber of Commerce has launched a new Buy Local campaign, telling residents that patronizing area businesses is one way to help fight further local job losses.

What's for Dinner? Part 96 [old]
A freshened table is a lovely thing. I'll not be cooking tonight, but I *am* making my market list, and would love to be inspired with the dishes all of you are bringing to the table. So, what's for dinner?
I have a last minute date coming over and no time to shop. I have a really well stocked freezer for a single person but the only thing I could find that I could thaw in the microwave was chicken thighs. So, it's Giada's Roman chicken, which I have never had, adapted to what I have in the house, baked polenta, salad with anchovy vinagrette, and peach and blueberry tart. Also spinach asiago bread that's in the oven now. Never cooked for this person before so I hope it comes out ok. Lots of people I know have never eaten polenta so I thought about potatoes but everyone I feed polenta to loves it and asks for it all the time.
re: Floridagirl
Your menu sounds very good. Bravo to you for not playing it too safe.
Have a fun evening.
re: Floridagirl
Enjoy your date FG and please let us know how everything turns out. I've made Giada's Roman-Style Fettuccini with Chicken and it was one of the very few Giada dishes that we felt was lacking in flavour. . . just a bit bland for our tastes yet it seemed to have lots of tasty ingredients. I'm keen to see what you think. Your polenta and salad sound lovely!
re: Breadcrumbs
I added sliced onions to the recipe and also lots more garlic. I also used some jarred roasted peppers because I only had one fresh bell pepper. It seemed bland to me also, even with those additions so I took out the chicken and reduced the sauce and added a splash of red wine vinegar and some crushed red pepper. Then it was much better.
re: Floridagirl
Giada recipes are never disappointing for me. Have a fun meal!
Tonight I'll be making braised balsamic chicken breasts over pasta with a bit of stir-fried spinach on the side.
The spinach side wouldn't be my first choice for this dish in particular, but it's fresh and I can't wait to try it. My Mother grows several greens in her garden and brought me a bunch of picked-30-minutes-ago spinach just this morning.
re: Katrina_R
Enjoy dinner Katrina, you can't get spinach much fresher than that!! How did you season it for the stir-fry?
re: Breadcrumbs
Dinner was great and surprisingly filling, we're both stuffed with no room for dessert.
I used peanut oil and seasoned it with garlic, salt, white pepper, chili paste and a pinch of sesame seeds.
It turned out pretty good, but I wish I'd have added a bit of sugar. I didn't realize how bitter the spinach would be. I tried a smaller leaf to get a feel for the spinach without even thinking that bigger leaves have a different flavor.
re: Katrina_R
I love the combo of flavours you used Katrina, sounds yummy! I had a similar "bitterness" experience w arugula last week and can definitely empathize.
re: Katrina_R
My Husband wanted dessert a few hours after our filling dinner so I made a batch of white chip chocolate cookies for him. I added a dish of mint extract for a nice break from the normal cookies.
re: Katrina_R
Did they also leave that baking soda feeling residue on your teeth? I think that happens when they get too much sun or something like that...
re: inaplasticcup
Yes! Yes they did. My Mother said she's noticed the bitter taste with the larger leaves as well, but it all grew so fast she didn't have a choice. I'll ask her about the sun and if she's noticed the residue feeling.
Raw albacore tuna, either in a poke or as tartare. I was gifted a piece last night and it was suggested I make a confit out of it and then tuna salad. It is still hot, hot, hot up here and a raw dish is far more appealing to me. Picked up fresh yesterday from a reputable fish monger, so I think it'll be ok raw to day.
If it's poke, it will get sesame-chile oil and soy, with scallions and cucumber and some of that japanese togarashi. Steamed rice with a simple vegetable stir fry to go with.
As tartar, I'll probably do minced ginger, olive oil and and some fine lime zest. With radishes and cucumber over lettuce, with a few crostini on the side.
Watermelon for dessert. My 4th of July guests didn't touch the big one I bought for the long weekend, so it's watermelon for breakfast, lunch and dinner this week.
re: rabaja
Both versions of your tuna sound great rabaja, let us know which ends up on the table tonight.
Oh, btw, last year I had the same watermelon issue post-Canada Day and I ended up pureeing the pulp in the blender and making cocktails. My favourite was watermelon - basil w white rum.
re: Breadcrumbs
That watermelon basil white rum cocktail sounds WONDERFUL, Bc!
re: LindaWhit
Thanks Linda, they're really refreshing and, a little unexpected. Guests just loved them.
I started making and finding uses for basil water a couple of years ago after finding an abundance of basil in my garden. Since I had some in the fridge when I pureed the watermelon, I thought I'd try the combo and it was an instant hit!
For the watermelon cocktails, I also make ice-cubes out of the basil water and sometimes add some lemon zest for an extra kick of freshness. The ice cubes are also nice when added to a pitcher of water if you want something a little different on the dinner table.
re: rabaja
I vote poke, and can I mooch some off you? :)
re: rabaja
Poke won out in the end, and it was a fine batch.
Medium cubed fish got chopped scallions, jalapeno, and cilantro. I dressed the fish with tamari, chile oil and togarashi, as planned.
Some young lettuces were dressed in a rice wine-sesame oil vinaigrette and a scoop of warm (not hot) japanese brown rice went on top, to which I added the seasoned fish and some additional scallions and cilantro and cubed avocado. It was so delicious!
Next time I will try to plan ahead and get seaweed salad and tobiko. Not easy to find up here, but both are favorites of mine when having poke. Nice light meal on one the last of the hot days for a while (I hope.).
eta: I keep taking photos, but can't seem to get my computer to find them on my iPhone. So frustrating! Anyone know how to empty an iPhone of pics? They are already in a file on my computer.
re: rabaja
"...so it's watermelon for breakfast, lunch and dinner this week."
good for WW! (i'm working on a giant one myself this week.)
re: mariacarmen
Exactly. I got it so we could have a healthy alternative. Everyone ate the pulled pork and cream rolls and blueberry-crumble bars instead.
So much has happened while I was away. I missed an entire WFD, and have some catching up to do!
We mostly ate out on our vacation, but returned with a bit of a bounty from the local farmers' market, cheese makers, jam makers, sausage makers, and even some truffles from the Brigittine Monastery, which supports itself by making lovely chocolates. Plus, of course we were in wine country, so quite a few nice bottles are now sitting in our rack.
Mr Nightshade was inspired to get his pasta maker out of storage, he is the pasta guy so last night he made fettuccine. Over the pasta we tossed a bit of everything: turnips and greens, beets and greens, walla walla onions, garlic, herbs, sausage and cheese. Mmm.
Later in the evening we shared a maple truffle (these are big, the size of a golf ball). We bought six for ourselves and have five more fillings left to try.
re: L.Nightshade
This must be handmade pasta week. I am now doubly inspired to make some pasta with the kiddies this weekend. I'm thinking pappardelle. What pasta recipe did you use, Nightshade?
re: inaplasticcup
It's just 1 1/2 cups organic unbleached flour, 2 large eggs, blended in the FP. Add water until it forms a ball, about 2 tablespoons. More flour as needed for dusting the ball and to pass through the machine. Pretty basic, and oh so good.
re: L.Nightshade
I *will* try this. I think I have been saying that I am going to try homemade pasta for a year now. I have all the equipment, I have the time...and now I have the recipe! ;)
re: auburnselkie
Oh, I hope you do, and come back and post about it!
I tend to anticipate that it will be a bigger deal than it is, really quite easy. There is a bit of a floury coating around the kitchen afterwards, of course.
Good luck!
re: auburnselkie
LOL. Sounds like me. :) Thanks for the recipe, Nightshade!
re: L.Nightshade
so that's what that thing's for? seen them before and didn't know its' use
bnless/sknless chicken breasts soaking in buttermilk and herbs until dinner, they'll be rolled in crushed pretzels then either baked or lightly fried, depending.
brussels spouts with bacon and shallots.
light and airy smashed potatoes, with chicken broth and fried sage leaves & cracked confetti peppercorns.
Porto's pastries for dessert for the kid
water for me Dr. Pep for him
re: iL Divo
Mmmm, Portos......
re: L.Nightshade
I just saw your post LN, WOW what a wonderful vacation you must have had and what a fabulous bounty for your first meal home!! Mr LN's pasta looks spectacular, very impressive!! Welcome home! : )
re: Breadcrumbs
Thanks so much, Breadcrumbs. We truly had a fabulous time. I know you also like to try the local specialties when you are away from home, and bringing them home just seems to extend the vacation a little bit.
I'm heading down to a cutting horse show in Brenham, TX tomorrow after work, so tonight I was trying to cook whatever won't last in my fridge until Sunday.
I made a simple tomato/garlic/basil sauce with a combo of farmstand tomatoes (from my last trip to Brenham) and grape tomatoes. I also added a half dozen crimini mushrooms. It was delicious and the leftovers will be lunch at work tomorrow.

THis is my favorite live acoustic performance by Jason. It really features what a great singer he is.
Re: Tron De Los Muertos: Halloween Part at Petra Gallerie LA
This video is from Jasons band Godhead that he fronted for 10 years. Godhead was the only band signed to Marylin Manson's label.

Hope the party was a blast...
Re: Tron De Los Muertos: Halloween Part at Petra Gallerie LA
It was. The party was great. Huge success. Both the gallery and the outside patio were full of people, all dressed up in crazy costumes. The music was terrific and there was plenty for everyone to eat with catered Mexican food. Good times, thanks Snakebite and to everyone at Petra Gallery.

Re: Tron De Los Muertos: Halloween Part at Petra Gallerie LA
thanks to everyone that showed up, even the police, the party was a huge success...BTW the LAPD gets a big ol thumbs down from me.
