Had a great weekend. First and foremost I finished up a shitty online class I was taking....
Had a bunch of great food, spent some time with some great people, and had some great weather at a great beach.
Some pics.....in NO particular order..and the pics from when Veronica came over on Sat. Night aren't uploaded yet....
Oh yeah, speaking of pics, I picked up a awesome new camera
The new camera, the Panasonic TZ5 is GREAT!!! Best point and shoot on the market. Check out the 10x zoom too!!!!!!!!!

Scratch Beginnings
Friday, June 6, 2008
Just finished reading this book:
Basically about a young guy, tired of hearing that it's hard for someone to "make it" in life. People today complaining how they can't make it in life...the man is keeping them down....they can't live the "American Dream"....I'm going to show them a thing or two......
I'm going to just take 25$ and the clothes on my back, and get dropped off in a city picked out of a hat.....and "make it" without using my schooling/education or anything....start as a homeless person living in a shelter, and in 1 year, I will have $2500 in savings, an apartment and a vehicle, and a steady job.....all from 25$
great short quick read...every kid in high school should read it. ANYONE who complains about money, should read it. EVERYONE who complains they don't get paid well enough, should read it......the little 12yr old fucker who wanted 50$ to cut MY lawn using MY lawnmower.....should read it.
Some Updates
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
This really deserves it's own post, but no time for that now.....
I popped the question and I am the most excited I've ever been in a while.....
Surprised Laurie with a Trip to Paris (we were already in London on a mini-vacation).
Then I hired a professional photographer to take us around and do a photo-shoot. I used this guy http://www.stephenzezza.com and it was really worth it. Here are his "sample" shots that he sent me so far, I haven't received the edited ones. 
Check them out they start here. http://rtimko.smugmug.com/gallery/5004321_qPT5m#302263846_4TbXz
Rest of my trip photos are here, with a few more to edit/upload.

Taking a Federal Income Tax class that is kicking my ass. Most ridiculous class I've ever had.
Cooking-wise, I have some pictures I've been slacking to upload.
Oh yeah, I'll do a new post on this. But 4th of July Party Extravaganza is on. Come one Come All. I guarantee good music, good food, "ok" people haha, and the best fireworks display followed by a South River PD/FR "light" show. Party starts mid-day and ends mid-night.

The Close to Perfect Short Ribs
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
So the night started off leaving work early....just a little, to get to the supermarket before everyone bought all of the short ribs....
well, arrival at Stop and Shop on the way home, led me to 2 packages left of some "eh" looking short ribs....I picked them up and proceeded to the second place on the way home.....A&P. No Short ribs...well they did, but the boneless ones...
Thinking to myself I should have just gone to the "GOOD" supermarket (albeit crowded, crappy parking lot, etc.) in the FIRST place I was going to punish myself, not go and work with what I had......that will show me.
The Ingredients
boneless (bone-in are browning)
hey...it was going to be a LONG night. 
so I started at 5:45 with my prep and browning...
first the miripoix - I threw a left over shallot I had in there too..
a little garlic.
and some tomato paste...
some wine to deglaze..
with some beef stock 
to a boil and in the oven it went.at 300. went it at 6pm.
what to do next?
movie. (Martian Child if you must know...it was good)
we are not alcoholics
but after the movie we opened another bottle....and started the rice. 
we checked the ribs and agreed another 20 minutes more after eating one ;)
MMmmmmmm rice came out pretty good :) 
I wish I could bottle this smell..
got rid of the mush..
reduced it by half...
added a little salt.
how did it taste?
amazing. 
So to answer the OPs question...about a bottle and a half of wine is how long (in my case about 2 hours)
it was borderline stringy, caught it just in time (went from "needs a few minutes more" to "almost lost it" in 20 minutes)..next time I'll do 275 for the same amount of time.
The boneless were "ok" but I'd never cook the boneless without a 2-1 ratio of bone-in in the pot.....my girlfriend loves the boneless though so it worked out well.
Dinner, not including the non-cooking wine was about 20$....
