Does anyone have any recommendations on software (free) to capture streaming video? Im trying to get some video into a PowerPoint file but the machine it will be played through will not have internet access...

woot!

I like to toss in various herbs and spices into the butter when I'm heating it up. Slightly salted, and with fresh Parmesan!

Word up. Looks like the two sauces have some similar ingredients. Interesting difference in heating/cooking and wonder how the flavours would differ.....will investigate for sure. Thanks for digging up that recipe, Tooly.

Chatham has since repayed you with doses of reality for the rest of your life... Truth!

Before I moved a couple years back I gave away some number of cds that must have been in the thousands...I have them all backed up on other discs but these were the audio ones. Ive moved about half of the archive to hard drive. Giving away those cds was pretty fun! We were having a bbq and after everyone got a little drink on I brought out the giant bin they were stored in. Most of them went to some of Chatham's finest and I'm hoping they're floating around there some where...fuck I sent a lot of cds to Chatham over the years!

Hot Sauce #1 was cracked open yesterday!! It tastes really good and has just enough heat to theoretically make it work for daily use. It is a habanero/bird's eye GARLIC blend. The nice thing is that it isn't overly salty like many commercial sauces but does not lack any flavour. It has a nice sweet tang to it that makes it deliciously addictive Here is the recipe I came up with and would love to hear how people might tweak it. I already have thoughts of a curry flavoured version as well as a smoked version.... Spices (approx): 1 tsp of chili powder dry mustard dry oregano cumin corriander sea salt black pepper sugar 1/2 tsp of garam marsala white pepper 1 Tbsp of paprika Whole allspice (for roasting) Cumin seed (for roasting) Veggies: 1/2 red onion 1 bulb garlic (or more) 1/4 sweet pepper 1 carrot 2 bird's eye chili (red thai) 3 habanero chili 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1 cup water 1 Tbsp peanut oil Steps: 1) Combine all dry spices except for whole allspice and cumin seed, set aside 2) Combine water and cider and set aside 3) Chop all veg, toss in oil, add allspice/cumin seed 4) Roast veg in oven until lightly browned on edges or until garlic has softened 5) Add roasted veg and 1/2 of liquid and blend until smooth (remove centre cap of blender). Some pieces floating around are nice for flavour... 6) Add blender contents to pot and combine with remaining liquid and dry spices and simmer for 12-15 minutes. 7) While simmering, sterilize jar and lid. Use a jam jar or something that has a proper lid that indicates sealing has occurred. 8) Pour in sauce into jar, close lid. After a while check to make sure lid top has popped down to achieve proper sealing. 9) I let mine sit in the cupboard for a couple weeks before opening and imagine you could let it sit longer. ** If you're planning on preserving it for longer, you should consult a canning guide. You probably want to process the canned sauce in a hot water canner for 20 minutes or so but might not need that much because of the vinegar that is present. Low acid foods need longer precess time but the vinegar should be more than enough to keep anything nasty from sprouting inside!!

Wow, hope you guys stuck this one out!! What a finish!!

As a Flames fan, that was hard to watch! I need a blood thinner over here before my heart explodes.

Damn, wild finish to the Calgary/San Jose game. IF the Flames are gonna be like that every night I don't think my heart can take it... They did get some breaks tonight but here's hoping for a little forward momentum!!

Tim Horton's coffee is shit in a cup. I will never understand the obsession with this stuff! Out West I've been drinking Salt Spring Island Organic Fairly Traded for a bunch of years and love their stuff. Recently purchased a bag of some Peruvian Dark by a company who's name escapes me but it is delicious. Again, I hate Tim's.

HAHA! I saw that a few years back and couldn't believe it....would I try it? Jury is out on that one. I guess people EAT weirder stuff than that.

Tooly! Would love to see the the recipe if she's willin' to allow it! More or less just lookin' to see her method. How long does it keep in the fridge?

Yeah, this stuff is great! For some reason I REALLY dig it with a juicy pork tenderloin. My brother is also HIGHLY addicted to this stuff and we have a hard time finding it....Friends of my parents used to bring it back for them every year on the trips to Belize but have since moved away.

Well, just fired off some habanero hot sauce..I THINK it's gonna be really HOT. Might not be a "use daily" type of thing but we'll see. The process seems easy enough and is very personalized... Ill try and remember to report back once I crack the jar in a few weeks.

Alrighty,what are your favourites? Do you make your own? Have any good hot sauce recipes??? Im gonna make some this week...don't know how yet but its gonna happen! One of my favourites is Tuong Ot Toi Vietnamese Chili Sauce. It comes in a similar colored jar/bottle as the Siracha "Red Rooster" Sauce but WAY better. I am addicted to eating it on anything.. As a basic vinegar based sauce I've been eatin' Franks Red Hot (used to be called Durkee's way back when) since I was a youngin'...

Just follow the "code" and you'll get our there no problem...

FUCK YES! Just in time for my return to Cowtown. I have always thought these guys could have a WICKED following in Calgary. Thanks for the heads up...

Also, does that say "Porn Shop" or "Pawn Shop"? And if it is the former, maybe it actually says "cock".

Go check out the Kaki King/John Langford fer sure!!

Steaming this now and it sounds pretty good! Nice work Mr. M.

Thanks, fellas! Would love any and all input folks have on the subject. It has been great having a worthwhile hobby...even if it means obsessing over guitars and amps and gear and such that I can't even play with any real skill! Fun is definitely the name of the game here....

I remember you posting that picture of Hud and his giant tongue! Never met the fella but it was still hard to forget a face like that!! Here's to good times with good friends....
