French Fries dipped in a thick chocolate shake. Waffles dipped in yogurt. Peanut M&Ms in hot buttered popcorn. Tuna mixed into mac n cheese. Avocado slices on Ritz crackers. Graham crackers dipped in fresh apple cider. I might think about food too much.

That looks great. The straining method seems like a little too much work. Would not just putting it in a French press the night before and then straining it in the press in the morning not be more effective and easier? Just thinking out loud here. I love iced coffee, too. Especially as the summer comes rearing it's head! Going to try the press method tonight. I will update in the morning.
Edit: I tried the press method and I'm happy to say it worked great! There was no chalky or gritty taste at all and the cold brew process worked just fine. I just put in flat basket ground coffee (about 10% more than usual to account for putting it on ice) with a teaspoon of vanilla and cinnamon, then filled it with filtered water, wrapped the top with plastic wrap and let it sit overnight. In the morning I unwrapped, put the top on it and pressed it. Poured it over ice with a little cream and sweetener. It was nice to wake up to a ready to go cup of ice coffee!

There are some good baking blogs that are pretty legit. Smittenkitchen.com, joyofbaking.com, and thepioneerwoman.com are the ones I check out most often. For books, I always turn to the CIA's Baking and Pastry book. It has everything from basic to really advanced techniques and is a good mix of teaching and recipes. Plus its recipes are in yields of 20 so it helps for my catering business!

I do basic baking pretty well, but it is certainly my weakest area of expertise. I'll check out the other tribes. Any chef or restaurant related tribes around? Something like the /kitchenconfidential sub over on Reddit?

From the same writing-directing team that brought us The Heat. Haven't seen that, is it any good?

Darkest Dungeon big update next week
If you haven't tried this early access game yet, it's a lot of fun and pretty damned polished too. Next update brings a new hero and some other stuff like new diseases, corpses in combat, and new Sanitarium features.

Stephen King's The Stand (Extended Version). Especially when I start to come down with the flu. It just wraps me up and absorbs me like no other. Honorable mention for A Song of Ice and Fire (starting 4 reread) and Dresden Files.

Cold turkey here. After several years of trying to quit, it somehow helped me to imagine smoking was like a hot girl who had STDs. I knew my brain was wired to love the feeling of smoking, so imagining it seducing me to quietly slip me its poisonous toxins was enough to get me to stop completely.

I was doing okay until I saw that Knights of Sidonia season 2 was up on Netflix. Now I'm binging that instead of getting my work done.

This seems like a great idea to mix it up a little. Really looking forward to seeing the rookie Bryant versus the vet Pujols in the first round!

I would hire myself out to historians and media who wanted to know more about ancient Earth. After becoming wealthy and rich, and writing a few books about it I would settle on an asteroid mining platform and live out my days floating through space.

Especially fresh pasta. If people knew how easy and cheap it is to make, the average waistline would go up a lot.
