Mornin' Bill

Prison Mess Hall? Perhaps he will give classes on preparations of the meat dish? Just think what he can do with the prison "vermin".

IA.ScooterTramp

sous chef

Probably not. He spends too much time on prep.

Mornin' Bill

Prison Mess Hall? Perhaps he will give classes on preparations of the meat dish?

Mornin' jack

Probably not. In today's fast-paced society, parboiling has gone out of style.

morning guys....yep everything now is fast food rare to find someone who takes the time now a days

morning tramp .... Let the games begin.

Just think what Viens coulda done with a huge microwave oven with convection air!

Double time for this po-po! Just throw him in a pit of fire for all I care!

Beef. It's what's for dinner.

I say lock 'em up and throw away the key. What a sick and twisted person he is. That's just one less serial killer society has to worry about. There's nothing funny about murder regardless how it was done. One life lost and another will "LIVE" his days out in prison. ijs

His nick-name could be "the Crock-Pot Killer."

It's like when Food Network has "cook with your kids week". About 30 minutes per pound, ought to do it.

Set it, and forget it.

Bill, as disgusting as this crime is, your comment about "spends too much time on prep" had me rolling on the floor...

I'd like to see the pot he cooked her in.

Such a distasteful discussion ......

Slow Roasted Wife. I wonder what other recipes are in his cook book...

Never found her body. Hmmmmm.

Hope the people who ate at the restaurant during the time she went missing don't know of this.

Think about it...............................................

One sick dude man.

MMMMM tastes like chicken-

Why am I now replaying in my head the Bugs Bunny cartoon "French Rarebit"?!

(The one where Bugs takes the two French chefs and dresses them as rabbits to show them a recipe...)

Of course, if you really want to make something good, nothing beats a good old Louisiana Back-bay Bayou Bunny Bordelaise, a la Antoine.

First, immerse the rabbit thoroughly in wine.
Then pickle.
{chef dressed as bunny} Already I am ze - Hiccup! - pickled.
Shake well.
Then stuff with hot sauce, chili peppers, bay Leaves, bay rum, hot mustard, horse radish, mule radish, and a dash of Tabasco sauce.
Next we dip liberally in flour, like so.
And roll briskly with rollin' pin.
K-nead gently, but firmly. umph-umph-umph-umph-grunt-umph-umph-umph-grunt.
Then pour into stew pot.
Now add sliced parsnips, potatoes, asspa-raygus, Onions...
{sign pops up} Hold La Onions.
Huh? Okay, skip the onions.
And last. but not least, a nice big carrot. {loaded with dynamite}
There! That'll put a kick in it.
And into La oven we go.

White wine or red?

The second-degree murder verdict indicates jurors did not believe the murder was premeditated or planned in advance.

BULLS**T!!!!!

We all know a good chef always preplans his meals well in advance.

IIRC the rule is white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat.

According to the video, Bugs Bunny in French Rarebit, it looks to be red.

{Man, this thread is gettin' weirder by the minute.} 0_o

Slow cooking for four days? Man, I bet the meat just fell right off the bones!

Well, from the above posts we now know who doesn't cook at home. Only way to make a roast is in a crock pot.

Glad to see the Judge has a menu of options as to how long to let him simmer. 'Set it and forget it' sounded about right to me (but I can imagine a judge allowing for it to be poked with a fork after 25 years)

She looks finger-licking good to me...AND she comes with her own buns!

Chef Ramsey is hoping to get him on Hell's Kitchen next season....work release. Wonder how long the police had to "grill" him before he confessed

"White wine or red?"

Hannibal Lector would suggest a nice Chianti.....

What a sick, sick man!!! Who ever dreams on their beautiful wedding day that the man the bride is exchanging vows with will one day cook her. This is sick beyond belief!!

Thank you all above for really making me laugh.

Of course when a co-worker came over to see why I was laughing so hard at some of the comments, they only looked at the headline of the story and probably think I am some demented cannibal.

Slow-cooked his wife, eh?

How 'bout we slow-fry him in the electric chair? Who remembers the execution scene from "Green Mile"?

i wonder what kind of "recipe" did he use.

If Jesus had had a wife.........

Samantha -

I know you were trying to be serious, but your comment was hilarious! :)

I hope he remembered to remove the duct tape first. I made that same mistake and it ruined.................

WIVES, the "other white meat!"

good cooking music...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5m5iNRQlvw&feature=related

What movie was it that had the line: "B*tch flambe, in saucy tomato?"

WTF why did it take a jury 3 hours to find him guilty. I say let 'ol sparky' have him. Fry him up realllllllllll good!

too creepy for words except the words too creepy for words

Sad what happened to that poor woman. She may be dead, but she sure looks fired up!

What the hell?....I order flap-jacks and i got two titties.

should have ordered the muffin...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=-Jh6wnmRbvQ&NR=1

4 days? Is he out of his mind? What happened to 20 minutes per pound? I'm sure she would have gone nicely with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Crazy!! And check out the numerology on this story....again with the one eyed monster's favorite numbers.

Nupe

What is really amazing, after listening to that tape, it still took the jury THREE DAYS to convict.

You know, when you are in front of a jury, you are going before a group of people who are not sharp enough to get out of jury duty.

DIRP

most jurors are so ignorant of the law, they can't even spell C J, let alone comprehend the types of punishment. Except in those BS lawsuits, where "my coffee was too hot" from Mickey D's

dirp and jack from Jax..........two yahoo's that never served on a jury.

Grado,

you a defense lawyer? I am aretired professor in Criminal Justice, in case you could not decipher CJ. Used to take my students to quite a few jury trials and it was difficult to explain to my students why so many dumb ***es were selected for the jury.

Only Defense Lawyers want dumba$$3$ on juries.

PS: How did you know I have a Yahoo e address? Peeping where you shouldn't? Enjoy life as you know it.

I was in the court room awaiting to be told if I had been selected, and we were offfered the opportunity to ask quesitons. The case was a man suing a elderly lady due to an auto accident. She had admitted guilt, her insurance company had paid all the doctor bills, and fixed his car. I simpy asked "if I am selected to serve on this jury, will I be expected to award money over and above what the insurance company has already paid?" I was released from jury duty. I did not want to and would not give him another dime. That guy was trying to make more money on this.

jack from Jax - not only defense lawyers. I was up for jury duty on a child molestation case (and I'm telling you the ex-con charged did not have appearance going for him). The prosecuting attorney asked the question as an example "if you know that it takes milk, flower, chocolate and egg to make a chocolate cake and I tell you that the defendant was found with milk, flower, chocolate and egg at his disposal, would you presume it likely that he could make a chocolate cake?". I told her that I'd want to know what kind of egg - since neither an ostrich egg nor a humming bird's egg would seem suitable to making a standard chocolate cake. I was excused - guess even prosecutors don't want the jury actually thinking too much for themself. All I was saying was "prove your evidence is valid".

This guy was trying to have his wife for dinner. This idiot is a honest to goodness canibal. I hope he gets a nice job preparing meals in the prison mess hall kitchen. That he will be doing when he is sentenced in November. He should have been found guilty of first degree murder instead of second degree murder for what he did. I am glad they found this canibal guilty of killing his wife and trying to have her for dinner. He is a sick individual for what he did in California. He lost his chef's licence and the only cooking will be in prison. That's where he do all of his culinary creations behind bars.

She looks Deee-Lish in that pic. Wonder if she smelled as good as she looks....

Must admit i was not aware of this case. This is one sick human being -- but how could the jury not find him gulity of first degreee murdured? Does not sound like an accident to me. He confessed to cooked her over a four day period --to dipose of the body -- sounds like a plan to me. Not "heat of the moment" (no pun itended) Interesting that he gets the "benfit of the doubt" by yhe court and the jury regarding motive and actual tinme and exact cause of death -- by he cooking and disposing of the body -- Wonder what became of the body after he cooked her!?

you cannot expect to quickly convict a slow-cooking chef with a fast-food jury

...these things take time

Grado- they were most likely smart enough to get out of it.

Hey Rob.....he's not a sick human being. He was just doing his job.

that was sick....funny as hell mind ya......but sick.......:)

Sick and twisted ..... I like it.

She's hot and wet.

Sizzling, if he used the sesame oil! Crispy outside and soft/tender on inside. Coming to a Hannible Lechter Cookbook near you.

"Jack" the best I have seen for a long time!

Thank you Bundgaard 1210892

I find humors helps people get over the miseries caused by bozos that do these things

denver bill- don't forget; and " oh so tender."

Oh brother where art thou humor???

I'm willing to bet the little bastard ate his wife..haha. Every Chefs in the world are naturally curious about taste and believe it or not, human would be on the list.......Pretty twisted, huh?

you have obviously never been ensnared by american divorce lawyers, or the system that encourages them.

Hey now. That's my bread and butter you're insulting! (lol) Seriously, not all divorce attorneys are like that. Most cases drag out forever because the divorcing parties want to argue about every little thing. But I will admit that business is booming!

Yes, figure that the divorce lawyer and engagement ring is about the same for ordinary people, and then if officially divorced by the state--a couple of thousand a month for life it seems for the ones I know---prostitution is encouraged in USA obviously--far cheaper, and always welcomed!

I think I should work on Boys Pills that stops the flow (like egg laying stopped for the girls pills), that would possibly be a big market; with what is available now the testies would technically die as well, so we need something new!---But then it would be difficult to keep a girl around with no more brawn attacks!

Did it taste like chikin?

Not only would a divorce been easier, he wouldn't now be spending time behind bars. No one is worth having my freedom taken from me.

Bundgaard--- what a misogynistic point of view- I wonder if you've ever been scarred by a divorce? Hmm.. (sarcasm if you didn't catch that one) Most women I know that have divorced do NOT receive alimony (child support is WAY more common- dance the dance, pay the fiddler) Have you ever heard of a condom?? You make it sound like in order for a person not to conceive, it's completely up to the woman.. And "egg laying" by the girl?? Ignorant and stupid. (you might want to read up on the process before you spout false crap) Smh

Willie Nelson: "Y is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it!"

;-)

fred...did you mean...chick end....

legaltype, unfortunately, however, if there are any assets involved -- even when the couple want an amicable split, the divorce lawyers smell blood in the water for their own accounts, and to the great detriment of their own client, they proceed to foment hatred and enmity. that is their bread and butter. the more hatred they can instill the more money they make. unfortunately, at the time of a divorce many people are at their most vulnurable point, emotionally, and this allows these fomenters of hatred to have their way. it is quite dishonorable. not much less so than the actions of the cook in this story

a four day cook off? all the while screaming at each other?.....................

"I need the gaz-spouse-o right now!"

yeah Bill,

"I need the gaz-spouse-o right now!"

but is gaz-spouse-o chilled? Maybe in Northern California, after he cooked her for 4 days, he chilled her in a snowbank?

Scooter

that must have been the secret "French" Ingredient that the one poster last week said "tasted so good..."

so THAT'S the secrete ingredient.............:)

well she did look good enough to ................nope just cant go there............

sure you could go there, you've nver been known to be the "bashful" one!

besides, didn't he "serve" her to customers at the No Thyme Inn?

wonder what sides came with that .......

Ta Tas? with niblets?

"wonder what sides came with that ......."

Da right side & da left side.....

IA.ScooterTramp, why you can't "Go there?"

U don't say- da front side and da back side, too!

every good cook knows you have to marinate the meat overnight

I wish the article explained how she died. Usually one does not die from duct tape overnight. Unless he duct taped her mouth and nose.

I couldn't open the other article.

Do we even know for a fact this poor lady died "over night" due to the "duct tape"? After all, we only know what happaned to her based on what he told the police. If there was no body found to examine and no forensic done -- there is no evidence of her actual cause of death. He could have shot her or stabbed her or choked her or drowned her, took an ax to her, etc. etc.-- We really don't know the truth here -- We only got his "story" to go on. Again, I am new to this situation, myself -- Does anyone here know any more details-- Was there any wittness who came forward with talk of problems in the marriage, fights, affairs, money issues, etc. Was she insured for a lot of money? It seemed to take some time to catch up to him about this -- Does he have a new wife/girlfriend? Wat are the facts?

I don't really care how she dies or any other bull$hit that comes with it....I just want to know.....HOW IS SHE TASTE????

I know AND do the dishes afterward - Mrs. Viens thought she was so damn lucky!

wonder how many women will still hope to find a man who can cook now................

IA ScooterTramp;she says; I hate to ask;"Do you cook and do dishes too?"

Well Hannibal always liked a sssttt, sssttt,ssstt Chianti, but considered she was boiled, perhaps a nice Liebframilch would compliment the course just perfectly.

You have no manners. When you celebrate: Champagne.

Save the Environment

would that be Vive Cliquet or Dom Perignon? or just some off the wall New Years Eve "special"?

"would that be Vive Cliquet or Dom Perignon?"

Mumm's.

How about an Ass-Sandwich and a Bloody Mary.

J from JAX that would be Veuve Cliquot ( Cliquot widow). but like U Don't Say suggested: a Mumm Cordon Rouge would be adequate, well chilled.

Mic,

With a 2nd degree murder conviction, the Death Penalty is not a choice. The Prosecution cannot request "do-overs". The 2nd degree stands and he could be out soon enough to conduct more cooking classes for those with truly refined tastes!

Again, where is the proof that it was NOT premedicated? Why does he benefit from his disposing of the body?

Where is the proof that the murder was premeditated? This is America. We are innocent until proven guilty unless you provide in home childcare. Then you are guilty until proven innocent.

jack from Jax, I know a 2nd degree charge doesn't call for the death sentence. It should, in my opinion if you kill someone and not in self defense you should be put to death. Period. Quit assuming you are the only one with a brain. One would think that the gallows reference would be enough to let you know someone is being sarcastic Einstein.

bawwaaahahahahahaha....good one NNN............

What did he "Slow Cook" her in? Damn big "Crock Pot" No i know......... a creamaterium(SP.checker broke)

on 'slow'

Professor - M, as in Moriarity? or is that the scarecrow - if I only hada a ....

Lighten up bud, the humor helps defuse the rage that this bustard did - it helps with PTSD too. I find it better to use "witty" remarks rather than a belief in heaven or hell.

Think of it as the Scooter, Bill and Jack Comedy Moments to ease the pain and suffering that others like you might be feeling. Ever go to a funeral and come out smiling due to a funny instance that you remembered the deceased? That's how humor works and it beats crying.!

Couldn't agree with you more, I'm at work laughing my azz off here. You guys are hysterical!!!!

Flash fried would be better for him.

I"m with you prof M, glad this idiot of a CJ professor Jack is no longer teaching anybody.

Really? Not FUNNY? How could anyone get mired down in the sheer sickness of what this excuse for a human being did? Should we all be describing how we would like him to die? Not much to comment on without humor to save us. We all know that this piece of scum will be back in the world 10- 15 years with good behavior? Too depressing. Laughter is the best medicine.

"I fail to see the humor generated"

Sgt Hulka: "Lighten up, Francis."

WHAT A MAROON..haha...WHAT A DOPE...hee hee........Bugs Bunny.

Nah, more like fish.

Actually human tastes like pork. Don't ask me how I know that.

Tuna?

And how would you guys know that? Did you have the (mis)fortune of dining at his restaurant about 3-4 days after she died (maybe a day or two if you ordered rare)? (sarc.) Gawd, I hope he didn't serve her to any of his customers-but nonetheless, a creative way to dispose of the body. (anybody see "blood feast"?)

Fried Green Tomatoes

Yeah, U don't say3994780, I was wondering too, what he planned to serve as the side dishes...So much meat, and So many possible recipes...Hmmm....and I think Any decent Merlot, or Chianti as many of the posters suggested, would be Wonderful...Mmmm.........But, I wouldn't know about such things... ; )

Have an Awesome Weekend Everybody !!

more like...chick end...

It tastes like PUSSY.

I think Vienes did "have it his way"! He scammed the jurors into only a 2nd degree murder conviction rather than 1st degree with aggravating circumstances that would warrant the death penalty - but none the less, he'll get his - ready for this.... just desserts.

Adam 44

If you saw the article NBC initially did on this crime, a poster said he "ate at the No Thyme Inn and thought the chili, venison chili he called it, tasted "pretty damn good". However, there is no way to confirm that statement - so we'll just call it an "urban/rural myth". Maybe Snopes can confirm?

OH! Do you think maybe it was the Chef's own little Dear?

I wonder if he shaved her first before he cooked her because most people don't like having hairs in their food.

As long as your wife didn't "steam" you too much. And it depends if she was overcooked to be able to determine if 4 days was too much time of slow roasting...

bahahahahahahahah

rockasockee

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you do it by yourself. There are many ways to handle grief.

rockasockee

ty for taking the time to notice....got any plans for dinner?

Thanks Scooter! What kind of wine will you serve at dinner?

And........tasteless ? LOL

I really don't understand how people can see a sick, digusting act by a member of a species that is supposed to be more advanced than an "animal"; he is less than an animal. To think it's humourous is just sick. Oh well, men are less evolved and it shows.

Black Humor is not a racist joke.

The wife looked kinda cute.........Damn, if it were up to me. I would fuk the $hit outta her first then cook her....... but that's just me.

How's that for Black Humor?

Nobody likes to eat shxt so I guess you would be doing us all a favor but do it many times just to make sure she is not full of crap before serving her up...how is that for black humor response?

DMatthews3

If he fulfilled a fantasy of eating his wife....

If he ate his wife, would that make him a cunning linguist?

@dMathews

He's a Chef and he cooks for a living. Unfortunately his wife is included on the menu.
