With Mike out this week Bill and Micah have a small tete a tete around geek stuff. They chat it up a bit about the DC books they liked, the reboot as a whole, the high quality of IDW’s GI Joe books, Ian Churchill’s Marineman and Micah’s recent love affair with Franco-Belgian comics. On top of this there’s riveting conversation about new television shows like Terra Nova and older shows like Park and Rec. Micah displays amazing logic when it comes to his television watching in a conversation about Turn-A-Gundam. Bill loves foreign horror movies like “The Horde” and “Troll Hunter” and Micah just doesn’t watch movies. Most importantly the duo talks about cooking up tasty treats and canning salsa. It’s a treat. Listen in and become a smarter person.

Here’s a link to the amazing Atlantis scene we talked about from MarineMan. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sDLre7UHSuY/TZXvqUOphdI/AAAAAAAAAFE/iE0VCczmIrU/s1600/MM3%2B26and27%2Bcopy.jpg

Geek Brunch Onion Gravy Recipe

by

Ingredients 

  • 1 onion!
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (olive oil is good, too).
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup stock broth (some recipes call for beef. I think veggie works just fine. Heck, you can use water).
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  1. Saute the onion in oil and butter. Really you’re trying to caramelize the onions.
  2. Add in flour, water and broth. If you want it to be thicker, add in the flour first. Then the broth after a minute and so. Be patient. This will get thicker the longer you do everything. Throw in all the other ingredients once you have the broth and water in.
  3. Make sure you stir in and scrape the bottom of the skillet to get all the onion up and stirred into the mix.

The entire process should take about thirty minutes or so. You can add a bit of flour to thicken it up, or patience. You can season it with pepper or other spices to taste.
