It's not only the music... It's the person who was that will live on! Unfortunately, he'll be morphed into something bigger than he was. if you were a real fan of his, he will live on forever with you. If you weren't, you'll move on to something that you like! All comments prior, support just that! RIP

It might be nice to see JA take a bit a of a hit.... Farmers need to have the autonomy to make decisions about their lively hood, not a political party!

Posted in: Full plate for Meat & Livestock Australia See in context
I believe you guys are doing a great job! What I would like to see, however, is more variety in regards to region of origin, for example, where was this particular beef raised; the Riverina area or King island? What was it raised in? How was it processed, etc? Also, we have an amazing variety of by-products within connected industries, such as cheese and cream, that need to be brought into and promoted in Japan. Considering transport and expiration, surely there is a way to meet these challenges. We have one of the most diverse meet industries in the world! Keep working hard and thanks for your efforts so far! More chefs showcasing what can be done with our products could also possibly help! I am available and have a history in chef work. Call me...

Posted in: World chefs: Jamie Bissonnette shares tips on making cured meats See in context
Unfortunately a lot of the ingredients are hard to get in Japan. We need to get them on line, along with their delivery price tags... If anyone does know where we can get most of the salts and sugars locally, it would be much appreciated information. Cheers

Posted in: World chefs: Fedoras share tips on food-beer pairings in new cookbook See in context
I love the idea! I have been doing something similar at home for the past three years. I also look at the profile of the beer and match it to cooking methods... I never thought of making a business out of it, though! Would love to see the book for a different perspective, but just can't afford it right now. More power to you guys

Posted in: Portuguese man-of-war spotted on Kanagawa beach See in context
Tenderizer, urine, and vinegar do nothing for this. I have been stung countless times, as I am a beach bum from Sydney. The worst was when a tentacle wrapped around my arm and I went into anaphylactic shock!! I walked to the chemist who immediately tore open a packet of something and told me to drink it to prevent a heart attack. I had welts and bruises on my arm for about two weeks. Admittedly this was a particular nasty sting but DON'T play around with this. If stung, try to get to a hospital. This may be over reacting but it's better to be safe than sorry. Peace!

Mr. Watsnabe, this is YOUR role. I only wish I could see it
