I am an identity management program director who still remembers being a programmer/engineer/web designer, and cannot stop doing technical stuff from time to time. Useful skills include C#, Java, Notes/Domino, and petting cats without getting scratched. And making muffins--especially pumpkin.

comment What can I do with an arm roast?
I am a member of the CI website, but I cannot find the passage you are talking about, where wine increases toughness, so I cannot "ask Jack Bishop." I did find the eye of round recipe the quote comes from.

Given the number of incredibly famous, tender and classic wine braises including coque au vin, osso bucco, and others, I just cannot buy the idea that you cannot have a successful braise with wine.

comment Do fresh ramen noodles come in a curly form, or only instant?
@rumtscho Even italian pasta will cook through at 180 F. But I have never personally had ramen that didn't require at least 3-4 minutes of very hot water to soften through.

@Jefromi You are absolutely correct that there are some places with house-made fresh noodles. They also tend to be sure you know it, often making them where you can see the process, and advertising it. So I didn't go there.

Darn, I have been overpaying at $5 for a package of 12!
