Foto and Food Fridays

Join us every Friday at 7pm as we experiment with photography and food. This Friday we’ll be building a giant room sized camera (think camera obscura), making carbonated fruit, and since we’ll have 5lbs of dry ice, we may as well make some foggy drinks. The fruit will be brought potluck style so check the potluck area on Anyvite below for items to bring. Â Also bring a plastic bottle or a container to put the fruit into. Â Wide mouth Nalgene works best. You can also use a 1 or 2 liter bottle. Â Â Hope to see you there and every Friday!

Fondue And Homebrew – Hacked Not Stirred

psytek — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:15:19 +0000

The other Wednesday an unnamed source who likes rabbits surprised us by bringing over some homebrew in a small keg. Â At first glance I thought it was one of those heinekin kegs that you buy at the store. Â After closer inspection, I realized that this was the real deal. Â The ingredients were a careful blend of hops and spices from the garden. Â I have to admit, it was the best tasting beer I’ve ever had. Â We talked about having a home brew class and it has been taken into consideration.

While we’re on the topic of food, our last meeting with the fondue was a blast. Â We got some cheese, veggies, chocolate, garlic and supplies. Â The fun started when I made a bracket with two pieces of wood holding 3 screws that acted as a holder for the metal bowl. Â I turned my back and all of a sudden everyone had concocted a base out of beer cans, and a double boiler with the other bowl. Â We positioned the torch and crossed our fingers. Â We had no idea what was going to happen, yet it turned out to be a success! Â The cheese and garlic made an awesome combination and the double boiler kept it at a nice melted consistency for us to chow down. Â Thank you to all that came out last Tuesday.

Stay tuned for more exciting things in the hacker food arena. Â Up next? Â Let us know in the comments.
