Segment 1 (Deep Dive)

  • Docker
  • Components
    • Docker Engine
    • Docker Build
    • Docker Compose
    • Docker Desktop (Mac/Windows)
  • Concepts
    • Shares resources from the OS kernel.
    • Not meant to run a virtual machine but to perform a single task or computation. The container only lasts as long as the process/computation within it is active.
  • Installation
    • Do not use "sudo apt install docker" in your package manager.
    • https://lhs.fyi/ma (Ubuntu installation procedure)
    • Allow unprivileged users to run Docker
      • sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
  • Useful Commands
    • docker run (spin up a Docker container)
      • -d (detached)
      • -i (interactive / map stdin to container)
      • -t (invoke psuedo terminal on run)
      • -p (map external port to container port)
      • -v (map external filesystem to container filesystem)
      • -e (assign env variable to container)
      • --network (specify container network options)
    • docker ps [-a] (see running [and ended] Docker containers)
    • docker rm (remove a container)
    • docker images (see installed images)
    • docker rmi (remove image)
    • docker pull (download an image)
    • docker exec (run a command inside a container)
    • docker attach (foreground detached container)
    • docker inspect (details dumped as JSON)
    • docker network ls (show container networks)
  • Docker Storage
    • /var/lib/docker/(aufs,containers,image,volumes)
    • docker volume create <data_volume>
    • -v data_volume:<volume>
    • -v <full path>:<volume> (bind mount existing data)
    • --mount type=<>,source=<src>,target=<>

  • Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
  • Best Bacon Jam
  • Description
    • We love to serve bacon jam on burgers or with homemade pimento cheese and crackers.
  • Ingredients
    • 1 lb. bacon, cut into 1" pieces
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 c. brown sugar
    • 1/4 c. maple syrup
    • Few splashes Balsamic Vinegar
    • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • Directions
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about a tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in garlic, brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, chili powder and cooked bacon. Bring mixture to a simmer then reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid has reduced and thickened and the onions are jammy, 20-30 minutes. Let cool before transferring to a jar. Serve with cheese and crackers. It’s also delicious on a burger!
  • Russ's Drink Corner
  • Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof
  • Description
    • It’s whiskey as nature intended it: Bottled straight from the barrel at its full proof. Intense, smooth, and remarkably varied, Barrel Proof is bottled at anywhere from 125 to 140-proof, taking Jack’s trademark vanilla and toasted oak flavors to bold new levels. Even though it's not labeled a bourbon, it meets the criteria. After distillation, it goes through the Lincoln County Process, dripping for six days in 10 foot vats through charcoal filters made of charred maple wood. Aging is in the upper levels of the rickhouses for 4-7 years. This is Jack Daniel's first barrel-strength product offered to the public.
  • Details
    • Mashbill: 80% Corn, 12% Rye, 8% Malted Barley
    • Barrel Info: Rick R-10, Barrel 20-00423, Date 01-24-2020
    • ABV: 64.95% (129.9 Proof)
    • Region: Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA
    • Color: Deep amber
    • Nose: Banana, vanilla, green apple, sandalwood, tobacco
    • Taste: Banana, chocolate, caramel, tobacco, barrel spice, burnt maple sugar, mouth-coating general sweetness
    • Finish: Lingering vanilla and banana with a mildly hot barrel spice, evidence of the high-heat aging position in the rickhouses
    • Price: $65 (750ml)
    • Rating: 93

This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

  • Cheryl's Recipe Corner!
  • Easy Chicken Marsala
  • Description
    • When we go out for Italian, I have to be careful due to a nasty allergy to tomatoes. So I tend to steer away from the normal stuff.  And what is better than than a wine sauce over some chicken with some tasty fungus mixed in?
  • Ingredients
    • 2 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 cup all purpose flour or corn starch for gluten-free
    • Up to 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil
    • 8 ounces container of mushroom, sliced and cleaned
    • 2 tablespoons butter
      • 1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine (OR, you can substitute 1/2 cup dry white wine and 2 teaspoons of brandy for the Marsala)
    • 1/4 cup chicken stock
    • 1/4 cup sherry or dry white wine
    • Optional: 2 tablespoons heavy cream
    • Garnish with chopped parsley or oregano
  • Directions
    • Split each chicken breast through the middle to make 2 pieces. Place plastic wrap over them and pound each one flat using a meat tenderizer/mallet until they are about a quarter inch thick. Season a good amount of salt and pepper on both sides of each piece. Place some flour on a plate and and dredge each piece of chicken in it. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and when the oil is hot fry each piece of chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown (this may require you to do this in 2 batches). Remove chicken and place them on your serving platter covering them with foil. carefully soak up any remaining oil with paper towels and discard. Reduce the heat to medium and add butter and mushrooms. Saute mushrooms for 4-5 minutes making sure to season them with salt and pepper lightly. Add marsala wine, sherry, cream, and chicken stock allowing the liquid to reduce slightly – approx. 3 minutes. Pour mushrooms and sauce over chicken and serve. Enjoy!
