The new domain of the network and other announcements

After listening to Cliff Ravenscraft of the generaly speaking podcast network (gspn.tv) I finally decided it was time for the site to have it's own domain name! I wanted one easy to recall off the top of your head and then it hit me The Samcast Network TSCN. That was it..the domain I wanted! May I reveal to you all the new domain tscn.tv! From now on this is the domian of the website and don't worry you won't have to resubscribe to feeds or anything as the old domain is still ticking away in the background but now you can just type tscn.tv and your good to go! In other news for the site sometime we will be launching another podcast addition to the network called All About Sound. Your source for tips and tricks to get the best posible sound from your mixing equipment. I won't be alone in this venture either. There is one man that taught me everything I know about sound mixing and he is the perfect man for this job. Danny Lewis will be joining The Samcast Network as sound guru of All About Sound shareing all the things he has learned over the years to get the best sound possible. All in all im very excited about the new moves being made in the network as I refine it. The new podcast will be out sometime next month as I get podbean to coperate with me. I hope you will like the new content as well and always send feedback to samcastfeedback@gmail.com with any thoughts or sugestions. Without you guys we wouldn't be doing this at all..thank you for listening and sticking with us!

My Quest for Good Eats #5- Coolness and Patience

The time had come..my first foray into confencinton. What is it you ask? Why Ice Cream of course! I hear your crys now. "Ice Cream isn't candy!" thats something I would think to but I will Quote Alton by saying this "All candy making is about controlling sugar crystals." When you think of it that way then yes I did indeed make my first candy. How did it go? It went wonderful..normally I provide a picture but the key to this process is time. Chilling the ice cream maker for 24 hours in the freezer, Chilling the ice cream mix for at least 6 hours, churning until it reaches soft serve consitancy, and then freezing it for 2 hours. Then and only then can you enjoy ice cream heaven. Instead of a vanilla bean I had to add vanilla extract at the end of the mix before chilling it. I tryed to find one..trust me I even took a pligramage to my not so local Kroger to try to find one but no dice. That being said it still tastes wonderful. The best discription I can give it is a properly made batch of snow cream. For those that have no idea what it is google it and then try it next winter..you will be glad you did! Once we get rid of the ice cream around here I have one more frozen confection to try before this episode is done..with a bit of fiddling with flavors this time..if ever there were times that Altons push to not be a slave to recipes..this will be the time!
