Cheese Curds

2008-08-12T20:34:37Z

This tribe seems fairly dead but here's a stab anyways. I'm planning on making poutine at this year's burn and need fresh cheese curds. Anyone know where I could get cheese curds between San Fran or Winnemucca and Black Rock?

Any tips on deep frying out there?

Chefs Needed for Our Kitchen --Paid

2008-01-15T23:25:46Z

The Devil's Workshop & Day Spa, an all new large-scale theme camp, supporting the Crude Awakenings Crew & other artists, is looking for a small team of great cooks. This is an excellent opportunity for a few responsible Burners that are looking to help contribute. Additionally, the position comes with a free Burning Man ticket, free meals, free camp dues and free transportation to/from the event. You can't beat that!

About the position
We are building one of the largest art installations that has ever been on the project. Our crew will be on the playa from August 13 - Sep 7. Our camp, The Devil's Workshop and Day Spa will be providing meals to our campers and the Crude Crew (about 30 people). We will need 5-8 people who can commit to being on the playa for one to two weeks (doesn't have to be concurrent) and will mak two meals a day and staff the kitchen. We will have a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, stove, sink, etc. There will be camp volunteers to help with clean-up but the kitchen staff is in charge of coordinating them.

We are also looking for a head cook/kitchen manager. It would be an ideal job to split for a couple!

In exchange you get

* a free Burning Man ticket
* free meals while you're on the playa.
* waived camp dues ($50).
* space on our trucks to haul your stuff there and back.
* and to be part of this exciting and dynamic project.
* more perks for the kitchen mgr/head cook --TBA

Interested? Here's what to do...
It's pretty important to us that our team gets well fed. So we need to know that you're reliable, have experience cooking for groups, and aren't going to burn and leave us hungry. Even though you'll be at Burning Man, we need you to consider this a job. Although we're paying you in trade, it's a pretty great package!

If you're interested in this position, please email Diva ( netdiva@gmail.com ) and tell me a little bit about yourself and why you should be considered. If I don't know you, I'm going to want some info about other projects you've worked on, how many times you've been in the desert, who can vouch for you, etc.

Feel free to forward!

About Crude Awakenings
A play in two parts, by Karen Cusolito & Dan Das Mann, Crude Awakening illustrates our so-called modern society replete with our dependence on oil to support our lust for cars, power, products and convenience. What happens when the oil is gone? Will the Earth still be healthy enough to further sustain us? Have we finally gone too far?

The nine faithful are portrayed in monumental scale, at the conclusion of their pilgrimage to pay homage to the highest and holiest deity - the Revered Oil Derrick. Some have arrived and assumed their respective postures of worship, others are still approaching from the direction of the horizon.

BM 2007:: Solar Cooking in a Restaurant-Like Setting

2007-02-07T05:42:58Z

Greetings!
I created a restaurant experience at BM 06 with the Grand Hotel at the Ashram Galactica, providing a Moroccan-style cuisine inside our lovely Mongolian yurt (ker).
This year, I want to take on the challenge of solar cooking for our restaurant. Any suggestions as to where I can obtain an industrial solar cooker?
I am a personal chef in Marin County, California

Performance chef/performers needed at BM.

2006-08-15T21:00:58Z

Ok, so my co-host/opponent for Cirque du Mole is definitely not coming now.
Thanks for the advance notice.

Anyway, Cirque du Mole: Fall from Graceland is in need of another chef to compete ONSTAGE, cooking for the audience and providing witty banter to keep the show moving along. Our menu (in fact our whole show) is Elvis themed. My character is Elvis Christ Superstar in a disco jumpsuit. It would be nice if you could come up with something elvis-y for your character as well.

The menu is three courses: Appetizer, Main Course, Dessert.
We try and make one of the choices from each course vegetarian.

You'll have an assistant (dressed as Anne Margret), to help out and serve food.

Send me a message if you're interested, and we'll talk.
There are pics up <a href="http://www.wednesdaynightdinner.org/slide_show.html">here.</a> Click on "Cirque 2" at the bottom to see our show pics from Flipside this year!

We're still looking for performers too! If you have an act to add, contact me!

Running a foodstand on the playa...advice?

2006-03-27T00:13:01Z

So last year I loved the Bladerunner-styled noodle bar, it was my anchor, the one thing I did every day at the same time and place, as oasis of calm and shitakes grounding and feeding me before the crazy night to come.

I'd love to do my own thing, but my question to those who've done it: what would you tell anyone considering it? Things you need to do? Things not to do? And above all, did you feel like all the time, money, and energy was worth it?

Ride to BRC via Yosemite-Mono Lake-Sparks-Reno

Ok Burners...

I know this is earler... but if you have no ride then I am just in time!!! I have three seats open!

Some will find this very cramped and uncomfortable. We will be rotating seats with the front passenger. IF YOU GET CAR SICK THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

Hey!!! If you want to see Yosemite and Mono Lake... Come and join me!!!

Please keep me in mind. I will post with updates.

cooking in advance and freezing

2005-08-09T17:26:32Z

One thing that worked well for me last year was cooking up a large pot of vegetable soup in advance and freezing it solid. Easy to heat up, minimal cleanup, and travels well if you have to fly. Just pack it in an ice chest without any additional ice and it will still be frozen by the time you stock up on ice in Reno (or wherever).

Some other folks I've camped with have done similar things with a vacuum sealer, freezing portions of lasagna, jambalaya, etc. and then boiling them in their bags once you get out there.

Dust in my dish

2005-07-09T16:34:45Z

All right hell ya happy to be here

Ok Last year i fixed french toast out of my little camp for the enire group that was there about fifty or so and a few folks walking by.
Organic everything, used the six day cooler to keep peaches and strawberries fresh, made fresh sweet cream right there. In the mornings I had no problem with dust storms. This year i am pre sealing fine foods to serve, but I am wondering seriously about dust storms.
What is the set up and is there anything i should know about how to maintain during such an occurence. What are your experiences
