Fork You: Brine! Fire! Turkey!

Another Fork You is available for your viewing pleasure. The good folk at Orion were kind enough to send us one of their cookers and produced the best damn turkey I have every had. Seriously, if you have an outdoor space you need one of these cookers.

This episode is the first in a 3 part series about Thanksgiving, so stay tuned for the second installment on Tuesday.

No Fork You today, but check out the latest Slashfood in the Kitchen

Today's Fork You has been delayed because I didn't feel like editing it last night, and I am working late tonight, however, that doesn't mean you can't get a hit of Scott and Marisa today. Check out our latest episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen. We pick some apples and then make apple sauce and an apple crisp.

Oh, and as a special treat for Blankbaby readers here is the episode in glorious QuickTime (it looks much better than it does on the AOL player).

And can I just say that Slashfood commenters are much nicer than TUAW commenters (though neither can hold a candle to you, Dear Blankbaby readers).

Thanksgiving in October

Scott is perplexedAnother day, another Fork You filming. Marisa, myself, and our intrepid crew gathered today in a small house located somewhere in South Philly to film not one, but three episodes of Fork You. That's right, we had Thanksgiving in October to prepare for 3 weeks of Thanksgiving madness over at Fork You (and we'll be filming one more episode this week dealing with leftovers to round out the month of November).

Thad manned my camera and took a bunch of pictures which are viewable in this set at Flickr. We have so much fun filming Fork You, it is no wonder we keep doing it despite the fact that it takes lots of time, and a good bit of money, to put together.

We made a ton of food, and so the call went out over Twitter for hungry people. Roz, Bart, Bart's sister, Ruth, and Annie heeded the call. Lots of food, and lots of laughs later, the Fork You filming was done.

New Fork You, and announcing In the Kitchen with Slashfood

This happens when I must entertain myselfI've been a busy, cranky man of late. I've been staying up way past my bedtime for the last few days cranking out video podcast after video podcast.

Last week we posted not one new episode of Fork You, but two (meatloaf, and the one that proves I have better taste than Marisa). Today comes two more new episodes of foodie goodness, but only one of them is a Fork You.

First, the Fork You crew paid a visit to The Spring Gardens a few months back, and we have finally had time in our production schedule to get the episode up. This one really showcases our great new camera. Doesn't that footage just make you long for a garden of your own? Thanks to Stephan for taking time out of his schedule to talk to us:

The other video Marisa and I posted today was over at Slashfood, Weblogs' food blog. Some of you might know that I'm the head honcho over at TUAW, a Weblogs Inc blog that covers all things Apple, and Marisa is a Slashfoodie. It would seem that Brad Hill, the big Man at WIN (that's what the cool kids call Weblogs, Inc) had caught wind of Fork You (mostly from my Tweeting I would imagine) and he liked what he saw. Thus began a very long discussion about Marisa and I making Fork You for Slashfood with a couple of key differences:


  • It wouldn't be called Fork You

  • We would get paid for it (instead of it costing us money

We were hesitant for a few reasons, but it mostly boiled down to the fact that we like having complete creative control over Fork You. We can say or do whatever the hell we want, and we don't have to ask anyone (as long as we both agree, that is). Brad suggested we do 2 episodes of Slashfood in the Kitchen (that's the name of the podcast) and we figured what the heck. And so I give you the first episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen:

At the moment it is only available via AOL's video sharing site, Uncut. I hope to get the QuickTime file up soon so that it will be an actual podcast.

Oh, and the picture up above has nothing to do with either of these episodes, but I think it is a good picture of me.

Fork You Season 2, Episode 1

Looky here, another episode of Fork You, and this time we're talking coffee. Peet's was kind enough to send Erica Hess to talk with us about the ins and outs of making a good cup of coffee.

This episode also marks the debut of our fancy new camera, and our second season! If you do watch this episode, bigger is better... so instead of watching it here watch it over here (or click this link for the QuickTime version).

Fork You 13: Bart's Bag of Mystery

Another Fork You is online for your enjoyment! This one took a while for me to finally get finished, but we're hoping to post an episode a week for the next two months (which might kill me, though it was my idea so I shouldn't complain).

Oh, and we're working on some other things to keep the ball rolling.

Fork You 12: P'unk Ave P'anini

Lookie here, a new episode of the world's best cooking podcast that I am involved with: Fork You! The good folk at P'unk Ave invited the Fork You crew to their space to film an episode, and we couldn't say no!

If you would like Fork You to film an episode at your home, workplace, place of worship, or Villa please let us know!

Fork You 11: Krazy Kebabs

I am a little late in posting this to Blankbaby, but better late than never! We have posted the latest episode of Fork You which you can either watch here, or download it over at Fork You.

This wasn't the episode we set out to make that day, but it came together nicely (if I do say so myself!).

Quick Fork 11: Summer Spirits

Another day, another episode of Fork You! This time around Marisa and I (and the Fork You crew) gathered on Jenn's roofdeck (thanks, Jenn!) to make 3 different summery drinks. If you have ever wondered what is in a Pimm's Cup, this Fork You is for you!


You can watch it above, or download the QuickTime version.
