Cooking with Jack, No. 3 - Limoncello

By Jack Brummet, Cooking Editor



I first learned about infusions from Paul Bertolli.  Our old friend Jan Newberry was a friend of his (he was the head chef at Chez Panisse for many years), and one night we went for a special dinner at his great restaurant in Oakland.  He served us several infused wines and liqueurs paired with his fantastic food.  I was amazed at the way a handful of leaves, peels, or herbs could transform an alcoholic beverage.  He didn't serve us limoncello, but he lit the fire under me to find out more. . .





Limoncello

15 lemons, well scrubbed (organic preferred)
2 750ml 100 proof vodka
4 cups sugar
5 cups water


Carefully zest the lemons so there is no white pith on the peel.  place one bottle of vodka in a jar and add the peel as it is zested.

Let sit for at least ten days and, preferably forty days in a cool dark place.

Combine the sugar and water, bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened. Let it cool for say an hour.

Add to the limoncello mixture along with the other bottle of vodka and allow to rest for another ten to forty days.

Strain and bottle, keeping one in the freezer for use. Your local brewing shop has lots of interesting bottles you can put it into for gifts.

It's great mixed with ice, soda, and bitters. It's fine straight up, and is nice poured over ice cream, a pudding, or even in tea.

A volume recipe (for Christmas gifts)

70  lemons
4 - 1.75 liter jugs of 100 proof vodka (7 liters total)
17 cups sugar and 21 cups water boiled into a simple syrup.

Peel the lemons & soak them in 3.5 liters of 100 proof vodka (2-1.75 L jugs).
10-45 days later, add the syrup & 3.5 more liters vodka (2-1.75 L. jugs)

10-45 days later, filter and bottle.   It should make about 12 bottles or so).

The Tim Eyman follies in Washington State

By Mona Goldwater, Seattle Metro Ed.




Tim Eyman once again proves that he is indisputably a class act. He has made a nice little living stirring up garbage in Washington State.

He's back in the news, having called our new Governor (and my former congressman), Jay Inslee,  “a lying whore” [“GOP: Eyman’s remark to Gov. Inslee uncalled for,” NWFriday, Feb. 22]. Is this the same Tim Eyman who lied to us back in 2002 by saying that he worked for free but he was actually paying himself handsomely from campaign donations?   
Back in 2002, Eyman insisted he was doing this all for free.  We later found out he was paying himself with donated money:

In February 2002 the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
 reported that Eyman paid himself $165,000 from campaign donations, while claiming to be working for free. Eyman initially denied receiving payments, but later admitted wrongdoing.  The Washington State Public Disclosure Commission, the state equivalent of the Federal Elections Commission charged Eyman with diverting $233,000 from his initiative campaigns.  Eyman eventually settled with the Washington State Attorney General's office, paying $50,000 and accepting a lifetime ban on involvement in any political committee's financial accounts. Since the settlement, Eyman's co-sponsors and chairmen in his Permanent Offense political committee became more actively involved; Monte Benham of Kennewick became the head of Permanent Offense, though Eyman remained involved politically. [Wikipedia - Tim Eyman]


In 2012, Eyman sponsored 25 initiatives, only one of which--Initiative 1185--made it onto the November general ballot. Approximately 95% of the money to support the initiative is reportedly from "corporate behemoths, such as oil companies, drug companies, liquor companies," or special interest/pressure groups.

Wikipedia takes a look at Eyman's track record:

U.S. and Nepalese regulations on Sasquatch hunts

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Ed.


In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Everest, and reported seeing large tracks. In 1954, the Daily Mail (UK) funded a sixteen-week “Snowman Expedition” to Everest to look for clues.   The mid-fifties were when the search for the Abominable Snowman a/k/a Bigfoot a/k/a Sasquatch a/k/a Yeti cranked up to a fever pitch.  

Enough Yeti expeditions were launched that the Nepalese and U.S. Governments issued a set of regulations for Bigfoot hunters and researchers.  “Regulations Governing Mountain Climbing Expeditions in Nepal—Relating to Yeti,” was issued from the American Embassy in Kathmandu on November 30, 1959.

Poem: The Jitters

By Jack Brummet




The 1950s were about
The American Jitters:
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Huntley Brinkley
The Thing
Ed Murrow
The Blob
Fidel
Godzilla
Senator Joe McCarthy
Gorgo

Who will own the moon 
Wild-eyed Nikita pounded his loafers on TV
And promised to bury us
The Cold War ignited on Ike's watch

Jack Kennedy inherited the residue 
Alarms shrieked duck and cover
Dad was in the basement
Sandbagging the jam closet
And caching beans and gasoline
We scared ourselves for good
And grew up to fear nothing
But nothing itself.

Hanford back in the news and an "air-conditioned atomic suit"

By Jack Brummet, Energy Editor 

With Hanford back in the news due to the discovery of leaking radioactive waste containers, I remembered this great picture I had stashed away. This is a tearsheet from Popular Science magazine that I found in a drawer of ephemera at a bookstore.

 

The piece shows a "girl" with a Geiger counter, in an "atomic suit inflated with conditioned air" about to do her job at the Hanford site. The Hanford Atomic Site occupies 586 square miles in Benton County, in central Washington, just off the Columbia River. It was established in 1943 during World War II as the Hanford Engineer Works, part of the Manhattan Project, to provide plutonium for the development of nuclear weapons. Plutonium from Hanford was used to build the first nuclear bomb (the one tested in New Mexico), and used to build Fat Man, the bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Hanford is now a storage facility for nuclear waste, and the only operating nuclear plant in Washington state.

The Friendly Skies: it's safer than ever before to fly (well, maybe except on The Dreamliner)

By Jack Brummet, Aviophobia Ed.



  • The past 10 years have been the safest in the country's aviation history, with 153 "just" fatalities. That translates to two deaths for every 100 million passengers on commercial flights, according to an Associated Press study of government data.
  • All fatal crashes in the U.S. in the past decade occurred on regional airlines.
  • Ten years ago--which was the the safest air travel had ever been--passengers were 10 times as likely to die when flying on an American plane. The risk of death was even greater during the early years of jet travel, with 696 people dying (133 out of every 100 million passengers) from 1962 to 1971.

A skillful plane crash

By John Newton Brummet III, Aviophobia Editor


Now, this is one skillful 'plane crash—the kind I'd like to be in if, say, God said, "OK Jack, I'm assigning you to a plane crash." Hudson River Sully has nothing on this pilot, although I bet there were likely some seriously rattled molars and passengers and pilots in dire need of an underwear change.

Poem: "burning down the house to roast the pig."

by Jack Brummet





The machines began to turn in 1900
And we started down a path

To the dark at the end of the tunnel.
We are in it and watching it,

Pretending we're not in it,
And carefully observing

For the sake of others;
Writing it all down

For a dubious tomorrow.
We can't slow back down

And run twice as fast
To keep up.

Cat tracks through the centuries

By Jack Brummet, Cat Editor


Emir O. Filipovic at the University of Sarajevo's History Department  was working on a 15th century manuscript when he ran across this medieval cat paw prints.  Yes, unlike dogs, we have let cats walk all around us through the ages.  This cat, sometime in the 1400s, either stepped in an inkpot or on a freshly lettered patch of the manuscript.  All in all, it's probably a good embellishment.
