Looks good, but a diarrheic seagull pooped on your potato. Twice.

Mmmmmm - I always wondered where sour cream came from

 

[Poker Zombie]

Yep. But with bone-in, how did you get the sear? Torch?

Yep. I use Mapp gas (hotter than propane). I take it outside to the grill to prevent setting off the smoke alarms. Then I torch a handful of wood chips and cover the grill and let the smoke work it's magic for about 5 minutes.

The real reason I love the sous vide, is the perfect medium rare cook

Im in love!

Nice touch with the chips.

Sous vide'ing to 126 or so?

128 is my standard. I've gone as high as 130 when I only had an hour with a 1" cut, but I'm not usually in that much of a hurry.

I've wanted to experiment with lower/higher temps, but steak is an expensive testing ground.

Mexican chicken

 

[toothpic]

Beef and green beans with some chicken fried rice. I didn’t have carrots or peas but oh well.

 

[pltrgyst]

Lamb shanks braised in red wine and onions; sauteed yellow squash, cucumber, and celery; reduced braising liquid with two tablespoons of Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce added for a little kick.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Not sure why the sharp knife. Those shanks look tender enough to cut with a spoon.

They were, but the sharp point is useful for the little bit of trimming that is needed. I'm a Jack Sprat type.

Plus you can tell that it was I who set the table, and I was in a hurry, which is why the knife and fork are placed like that.

Only one of the briskets is for me, the rest of the Bbq is for socially distant friends. It’s going to be a good day.

 

[RocAFella1]

Wrapped some wontons.

Stupid seagulls. Always adding extra flavor to food.

 

[RocAFella1]

Buy lotto tickets!

 

[Beakertwang]

“Chuckeye” steaks on the skillet and asparagus in the oven. I think I’ll pair mine with a rye old fashioned.

 

[toothpic]

Was craving it again. Some more pho

 

[pltrgyst]

Covad special! OK, eating too much lately, with less exercise than usual. We were reading out by the pool and dinner time sneaked up on us, so we threw together something light.

A little salad, fromage d'Affinois and Camembert, and New Jersey filet mignon (a.k.a. Taylor ham/pork roll). With our first bottle of Cameron Hughes #720 Haut Alpes 2018 rose, it really hit the spot!

Not sure why I haven't posted in this thread before... Probably because I like food too much and eat it before I get a chance to take the photo?

In hindsight, probably could have gone a little easier on the butter; but hey, it was cooked near enough to perfection, so...

Taylor Ham! Didn't even need to read the text.
But what's up with the green stuff?

But what's up with the green stuff?

One word: women. "You cant't live with them; you can't stuff 'em in a sack."

(Quoted from another famous Larry. First one to correctly identify the source by name and origin, as well as the contents and manufacturer of the box in the top center, wins the rack of chips, shipped US (+additional shipping cost anywhere else). If anyone wants them, that is. )

 

[toothpic]

I familiar with those but will pass so others can get these lovely chips. I used to play a lot

As Larry might say, "That'll knock the fuzz off yer balls."

I usually try to get them in the sack, just so I can stuff 'em.

I find that the only thing that makes the Thought Vampire (TV) even remotely bearable to watch is the MUTE button.

You're going through that Selyem pinot pretty quickly!

I have so much of it... trying a different vineyard every time....
