Yet again inspired by DNA we post James Ellis as your Sunday Stud. This classic Aryan prince has graced this site more than once. No complaints here. This is our favorite image of James ... "Well I graduated from Fairfield High School (Falcons) in 1999. I then went on to graduate from Indiana State University in the spring of 2005 with a 3.5 G.P.A and degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Physical Education. However, I have also done some work to get my NASM certification to be a personal trainer. I am Alpha Tau Omega Alum. I was a member of Campus Crusade for Christ for about three years, and was also a member ISU Cheer Team for two years. After graduating I moved to San Diego in the summer of 2005, in pursuit of my lifelong dream to be a model. I spent a little over two years there and moved off to Hollywood to work full time as a Model and to seek my newly found passion, acting. Living in Hollywood for about a year and a half has shown me how much hard work an...

Roasted Red Pepper Soup Roasted Red Peppers, 6, peeled and seeded Leek, one cleaned, medium size Butter, unsalted, 4 tablespoons Garlic, 3 cloves, thinly sliced Broth, one litre, vegetable or chicken Sea Salt Freshly Ground Pepper Balsamic Vinegar, 3 tablespoons Chives, for garnish 1. Dave Lieberman calls for roasting peppers on the stove top -- an old fashioned way that most immigrant families from Southern Italy are very familiar with. There are some commercial varieties available and Dave tells us that the way to get hold of the real magilla is to see if there are remnants of the blackened skin on the peppers. 2. Make sure the leek is washed and void of the sand that hides therein. After cutting off the tough tops make a lengthwise cut from top to bottom, going halfway in and then run cold water over it, while rubbing inside [it is very warm in here] a bit and washing the dirt away. 3. Cut the leek into 1/2 strips. The butter should be melted in a large, heavy kettle and then, Dave ...

Leek Bread Pudding "Just as custards work well in the savory portion of the meal, although they’re more often served as a dessert, so do bread puddings. This one is a great complement to meat dishes, but you could also top it with oven-roasted tomatoes and serve it as a vegetarian meal." Ad Hoc at Home (Artisan, 2009) Thomas Keller 12 servings as a side dish, 6 to 8 as a main course 2 cups 1/2-inch thick slices leeks (white and light green parts only) Kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Freshly ground black pepper 12 cups 1-inch cubes brioche (without crust) 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives 1 teaspoon thyme leaves 3 large eggs 3 cups whole milk 3 cups heavy cream Freshly grated nutmeg 1 cup shredded Emmentaler cheese Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the leek rounds in a large bowl of tepid water and swish so that any dirt falls to the bottom of the bowl. Set a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, lift the leeks from the water, drain, and add them to ...

Good Morning, Saturday Beefcake Lovers!

'Tis that time of year when many inhabitants of the United States of America start that long journey until after January 1st into overindulgence. The task begins now with Halloween with its tricked treats and ends with the New Year with its tricks and the call for designated drivers. In between there should be much dieting, while placing emphasis on the treadmills and related accessories. Easier said than done. It is that very reason that John Antorino's image graces today's entry. He is a man who obviously knows how to handle the temptations of overindulgence while at the same time exemplifying what one might be better choosing to indulge in, so to speak. The recipe choice is very appropriate for the time of year and very much an exceptional suggestion for indulging either over or under. Scaloppine di Tacchino Seasoned Flour (sea salt & ground pepper) 2 Eggs, large beaten with milk 2 Cups Fresh beadcrumbs 3 Cups finely chopped pecans Turkey...
