#1. Trim your fish, so you don't have the connective tissue like you see in the upper right part of the picture. Cut up the scraps for poke or something else.
#2. Use a hot heat source to quickly do the surface - like a blowtorch because it's no-touch. Do not use on a grill. Look at the huge amount of damage to the flesh from the grill. Tuna is almost all protein and will immediately stick to a grill.
#3. Cooked tuna does not taste as good as raw. Cooking is only to ensure that the squeamish feel better about eating it. Cooked tuna = canned tuna. Raw tuna = intense red-meat flavor, gentle fresh ocean essence, silky texture.
#4. Rest your meat so that it firms up and the fats/collagen are reabsorbed back into the meat
#5. Use a long, very sharp knife. His knife appears dull due to the damage done at the cuts.
#6. Use a single confident cut toward you. You can see in the second piece that he sawed at the meat.
#6. Portion consistently. What's up with the first three slices. There is like 600% difference is slice sizes.
#7. If you're going to fan your tuna slices, don't damage them doing. That looks like crap.
When do we get an invitation for the in-person, DBD, cooking academy, starring SGBear? You've provided more information on the proper way to cook tuna than I imagined even existed.
today my older one and I are driving north from DC back home to NY. we are going to stop in Baltimore for steamed crabs for lunch, but just the regular hard shell variety.
that being said, a good soft shell crab is one of the good things in the world to eat
You mean actually playing an MLB game there, or the teams. Pads make sense since the have Ha-Song Kim. And the Dodgers have had at least 4 Koreans play for them. So I guess it makes sense, teamwise.
Well, I guess I mean that Baseball is already popular in Korea & Japan - it's very unlike what US Football is like in Europe, where the owners keep on trying to get it popular there.
Phillip Rivers and wife Tiffany are now officially only 1 person short of a full football side. She's 41 now, so I think the over/under on her next pregnancy is June 2024.

Cal helped end Tyler Shough's time at Oregon at the end of 2020. He transferred to Texas Tech and will be entering his final super senior year with the Red Raiders. He is also marrying his Oregon sweetheart Jordan Wormdahl next spring. It might be weird to think of a college senior getting married, but one has to remember that he's only about a year younger than Justin Herbert, who will be entering his fourth year in the NFL. Shough will be 24 this fall.
Tennessee hit with an $8m fine for hundreds of recruiting violations - including the whole cash in a McDonalds bag thing. Jeremy Pruitt hit with a six year show-cause penalty. I am not sure how Pruitt's college coaching career survives.

Cal's current version of blue - Berkeley Blue (CMYK 100|71|10|47) - is unique. It has also changed several times over the years. It used to be a much lighter blue. And then it was a darker blue under the Gilbertson era.
The word is that Nike's isn't investing a lot into Cal in Year 1. Some low-risk/plain vanilla uniforms that borrow heavily from the work that UA did - but the University owns. As evidence, the media clips for the basketball team show the C with the walking bear inside it and the Sather Stripe. The shoes were stock, so don't hold your breath for shoes in CMYK 100/71/10/47.
If you want to troll a Michigan fan, do what I do. Say "I always like the vibrancy of Michigan's yellow". And you will get an angry "maize, it's MAIZE" response.
I did attend a September Cal Michigan game in Ann Arbor back in the day. Two memories of mine are: low 80s temperatures the day before the game, hi 30s the day of the game. We had only summer clothing having just come from Nassau (see below). Also, the Michigan cheer team picked up Oski by all four limbs and crotch rammed him (her?) into the goal post.
Also attended @Florida, and @Army in that same season. This was thanks to an Eastern Airlines “fly all you want for 21 days for $400” offer. No wonder they’re no longer in business.

DBD Cooking Academy
In celebration of Bastille Day, for dinner we're making scallops Coquilles Saint-Jacques and ratatouille (aka racoocoony)
😄. Our cubs called it ratapoopy. They actually loved the dish until they got older and decided the aubergine was no longer palatable. 🍆
what?!? eggplant is great!
only when breaded and deep fried
and even that is marginal
hahahaha
what was I watching recently that has racoocoony? it'll come to me, but I'll take some help ;-)
you'll find the answer everywhere...
duh! I knew that it was live action, but I couldn't remember :-)
I was hoping that it'd come to me all at once!

indeed. this is a particularly good and easy drinking beer that goes well w/ almost everything as long as you are not looking for something exotic.
plus, the simplicity of the bottle and branding is very compelling.

More for me. Nummy nummy sea decapods. The right amount of funkiness, marine flavor, and umami. Deep fried in a sushi handroll. 😋
I love a SE Asian-style curried soft-shell crab yummmm

So Cal, Michigan and WVU all have unique blues?
Cal's current version of blue - Berkeley Blue (CMYK 100|71|10|47) - is unique. It has also changed several times over the years. It used to be a much lighter blue. And then it was a darker blue under the Gilbertson era.

Curious to see the appearance of the new unis and presumably helmets
The word is that Nike's isn't investing a lot into Cal in Year 1. Some low-risk/plain vanilla uniforms that borrow heavily from the work that UA did - but the University owns. As evidence, the media clips for the basketball team show the C with the walking bear inside it and the Sather Stripe. The shoes were stock, so don't hold your breath for shoes in CMYK 100/71/10/47.
Michigan: very different gold/yellow.
If you want to troll a Michigan fan, do what I do. Say "I always like the vibrancy of Michigan's yellow". And you will get an angry "maize, it's MAIZE" response.
Aren’t they always playing an Ohio state university?
By the same token I get triggered whenever I hear someone (usually a freshman) refer to our colors as blue and yellow.
I don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
I can't wait to do this after Cal joins the BIG-1G and we visit the Big House.
I did attend a September Cal Michigan game in Ann Arbor back in the day. Two memories of mine are: low 80s temperatures the day before the game, hi 30s the day of the game.
