Instant pot barbacoa was very good thank you @LITT
I made the chef steps nacho cheese... Wow... Best queso I've ever made.
Guests were perplexed how I cooked all this without an oven

First attempt at gumbo today... first, the roux:
Got it nice and dark. For reference, the stove top is black, and the pan is white. It almost look like chocolate.
Here's the gumbo after everything was said and done:
It's on top of wild rice and served it with bacon, scallion, cheddar, cracked black pepper cornbread muffins. Pretty legit.

Nice c2i.
Making lasagna tonight... I've made awesome lasagna the last half dozen times I've made it, love the slight variations you can make with the recipe. Added a little more fennel tonight.

Btw, the roux took about an hour. I stood there and stirred for an hour. It wasn’t all bad though. I enjoyed a couple beers and was rocking out to Nathaniel ratcliffe and the night sweats the whole time. And it’s soooooooo worth it.
I have some roux left over... not sure what to do with it, but I’ll figure something out.

There’s actually no seafood in the gumbo. When reading some blogs on the subject, many said “land or sea... pick one and stay in your lane.” This one had andouille and chicken thighs.

I heart pickled okra. There's a Cajun restaurant in LA that has jars of it on every table, and I swear I could down a whole jar by myself.

Leftover roux: Base for stew or sauce

Alton Brown's baked roux was a game changer for me when it came to gumbo. Baking it only gets you to "brick" coloration or so, but its soooo much easier than stovetop.

So I'm fairly certain I want to see what the sous vide craze is all about. Need recommendations on what appliance would be the best. It'll mainly be meals just for myself, but at times may need to feed multiple people. Thanks in advance.

I'm very happy with the Joule. You'll need to provide your own container, but most cooking tasks can be handled by a regular stockpot.So I'm fairly certain I want to see what the sous vide craze is all about.

x2 on the Joule.I'm very happy with the Joule.

If cost isn't a major factor, I think it's the best. There are certainly cheaper models which will heat water to a desired temperature. IMO the UX is much smoother with the Joule.

Joule, especially now that they're about two years in and have the app pretty well sorted. But I have a relationship with the company, so take that recommendation however you want.
I still have my two Anovas (gen 1), and even broke one out at Thanksgiving last year. But Joule is a bit more versatile, imo, in that you don't need a super large vessel. I usually run a 12 qt Cambro; they only cost around $10-$12 and have a 12" square footprint, so they don't take up much space. Buy a lid, and cut a notch out with kitchen shears

Also, I think I can get you a discount code. The Facebook group mods were given our own codes to distribute at our discretion back in March, but I'm not sure if they still work.

With the app, I assume I don't need to be connected to the same network. Am I able to power on the Joule, and set the necessary configuration remotely?

I have no idea about the differences between Anova and Joule, but I have the WiFi Anova and it works wonderfully.

Correct. My wife routinely gets joule set up, and I power on from work.With the app, I assume I don't need to be connected to the same network. Am I able to power on the Joule, and set the necessary configuration remotely?
You can also use Alexa and FB messenger to control joule

All I need is remote access. You and ntp can keep your creepy Alexa crap. Thanks for the info, seems like Joule is the way to go.Correct.

Legitimate question: who the f is buying meat from Giant Eagle at the asinine prices that they are charging? I just went there to look at pork chops... They wanted $6.49 a pound... for freaking pork chops! That is ridiculous. They also had steaks there... $15.99 per pound. WTF!
