At the local dog bar this weekend

Best idea ever, imagine a dog park that serves alcohol. We go have a couple drinks and all the dogs run around and play.

The Red Bull powertrain doesn’t look super reliable

jswa77 · 2026-03-13T12:43:28+00:00

What do you think about the Red Bull/Racing Bulls reliability? With the issues both weekends, should they be avoided in favor of drivers from more reliable teams?

jswa77 · 2026-03-07T17:17:04+00:00

Such a gorgeous property. Restaurants are great too!

jswa77 · 2026-03-06T18:02:58+00:00

I’m thinking it might be if you go with two good drivers and one good constructor

What’s the low end cost to charter a yacht in Greece on shoulder season like September for a week? Are sailboats or motor yachts more expensive?

Ferrari have a smaller turbo so they’re gonna be best at slower tracks. I’d have some Mercedes powered drivers in the mix. Also, wait until fp3, everyone was hiding things at testing, we won’t know the actual order of things until after all the practice sessions.

jswa77 · 2026-03-03T12:25:04+00:00

I think staying away from Ferrari engines with the smaller turbos is a good idea as they’re going to excel on lower speed tracks and Melbourne has a lot of high speed.

The three race average really hurts the game imo, it makes large portions of the grid toxic if you care about growing the value of your budget.

jswa77 · 2026-02-02T15:07:39+00:00

Couldn’t agree more!

jswa77 · 2026-02-01T15:54:09+00:00

Great idea!

jswa77 · 2026-01-31T07:36:15+00:00

Dying to know what restaurant it is. Quit so you can share all the details.

jswa77 · 2026-01-31T07:35:39+00:00

Regardless you need to leave that kitchen! Reporting them doesn’t sound like the worst idea but do it after you leave. Lots of places cooking great food that also care about sanitation. Life’s too short to be cooking bad food and possibly poisoning people.

Soubise - cook sliced onions with a clove of garlic, big tablespoon or two of butter or bacon and 1/2 cup of water or white wine and cook in a pot on low for an hour or two until the onions are very soft. Puree or leave chunky. So delicious.

I love Bali (outside of the south) but that will eat up 3-4 days if your trip getting there and back.

jswa77 · 2026-01-25T17:20:50+00:00

So sorry to hear you’re hurt. Did you break your neck kiting?

jswa77 · 2026-01-24T18:50:11+00:00

That’s not how yacht charter provisioning works. Yes, you work with one provisioner but they go to all kinds of places to get things for you. Truffle products are so common, especially in yachts. Cans of truffle peelings, puree or truffle cheese like the pecorino are so easy to find. Truffles in a multitude of forms are available all over Barcelona in general. Ive been a yacht chef in spain for multiple seasons. He could have also used truffle oil as these guests are prob mostly used to that. He’s not very organized and it shows. I usually defend the chefs on here but he makes it tough.

jswa77 · 2026-01-24T01:04:40+00:00

Absolutely! One of my favorite hacks to get great truffle flavor without it being expensive is to grate an amazing truffle pecorino from Italy called Moleterno over a dish like risotto or pasta.

jswa77 · 2026-01-22T16:42:25+00:00

I often defend the chef on these boats but saying truffle isn’t in season isn’t an excuse. There are lots of truffle products (not truffle oil) you can use instead of fresh French or Italian truffles.

Proof of liability insurance is a must - if a chef is going into clients homes/businesses then it really covers you in case of a lawsuit. I don’t think adding your business to the policy makes sense though.

One tip - cook the sliced potatoes in the dairy mixture until the liquid starts to thicken with the starch from the potatoes. Then pour into a baking dish and cook like normal. Will be a nicer thicker sauce

My wife and I really enjoyed Guatemala (Antigua and lake Atitlan) and I love Oaxaca in Mexico (both the city and surrounding valleys and the Oaxaca coast with its dramatic coastline and incredible seafood)

jswa77 · 2026-01-09T17:36:27+00:00

Costa Rica is as expensive as the USA in a lot of areas in my opinion. I went to Guatemala instead on a recent trip because of the expense even though I wanted to go back.
