Dag nabbit! I just wrapped up wedding planning, and hopped on the forums today to check in on gatherings after a hiatus. This was basically in my back yard. Go figure! Guess I'll be on the lookout for 2017.

I just moved to DC, so this is great news. Looking forward.

Congrats! I love that place for drinks. Don't think I've eaten much there before, but I'm moving from MD to Shaw this weekend. I'll have to drop by for some grub and say hello!

Toki was great when it first opened since I had friends that lived on the same block and it wasn't too crowded. Past few times I've had to go elsewhere since the wait was too long. My memories of it are still incredibly fond, though. It left a stronger impression on me than Momofuku in NYC did.

I guess it's official! PS, I just 3D printed a copy of your keys from your image. I'm going to drop by and show myself around. Hope you're looking for a new apprentice!

Are you folks using zippies sealing them by submerging under water to push all the air out? That's the main trick that helps me use them effectively for everything I've needed. See halfway down Dave Arnold's "Sous-vide without a vacuum" primer...

Glad to hear it. Where will it be?

Costwise, in only saves ~$10, but it's nice to have a more compact kit.

You make one by applying a replacement pad to the back of a regular Atoma plate. Sounds like you need to polish the back of the plate a bit to get it flat first. Theory might have been the first to dream up the idea, as far as I know.

They give you a spoon, syringe, and bags of white powders? Some modernist cooks need to consider a 12-step program... My drawer full of syringes is labeled "For culinary use only: no junkies allowed!"

I guess what I meant was handy non-knife uses for diamond plates.
