A change of titles

Some of you may notice that I have changed the title of the blog from "Samuels Thoughts" to "The Samcast Network" Why is this? This page has changed over the past few months to not only have my thoughts on it anymore. I may be the main contributor but with the addition of the samcast podcast this site is no longer a solo effort. This is my way of saying that as much as I may run the site and blog on it that it is just as much about the other contributors to the content on this site as well. It also doesn't limit me to what I could add in the future to the content on this page. All in all I feel it is not only a more common sense move but a fair move to show that this blog is no longer a one man show..but is now the place I always wanted it to be. Friends together having fun and doing what they love.

My quest for good eats #3 Cracking Open The Egg Files

Not every week in my journey of going through all of Good Eats will result in you guys seeing a Vid Blog. In this weeks case I did a very simple prep that I felt really would be the most boring thing to watch that only took a few minutes. It was my first dive into one of the several "series" inside the Good Eats Library of programs. In this case " The Egg Files" is if my memory serves me right is the one with the most installments for one reason. You can do alot with eggs! In this case though it dealt with two basic preps one of which I have done before. The first was making a Egg Over easy style..this was the first time I done this prep and I'm quite proud of the results. According to my mom it was quite good..not my favorite way to have an egg though. My favorite way to eat an egg is good old fashioned scrambled. This was the second way of making them and the way I had done before with one difference, I had only done one egg at a time before because I normally only eat one. This time I had five eggs because i made the whole batch for the whole family. Again I'm happy with how it came out. It may not have been the most learning I have done in this journey so far but the feeling still hasn't changed. I did it..on my own with no help..bonus points for fighting my mother off for wanting to help out of habit since we have cooked alot together. Next week I deal with not exactly my favorite of dishes..but what could it be? If you have the book you can obviously cheat and look ahead..but where would the fun in that be?

A Babelcolour tribute to Nicholas Courtney

Babelcolour has done it again. A tribute to Nicholas Courtney (the brigadier from Doctor who) This made me genuinely cry and for me that takes a bit more than honestly it should.
