yeah put them in a bowl of water.

If you have an extra $5K:

I bought a variety of knives from Brandless for $3 a pop. While not “good”, they are completely functional.

We are having a soup day at the office on Monday. I’m pretty pumped as my soup game is strong compared to the rest of my game.

Also, it is honey bell orange season, so i have that going for me, which is nice.

Breville makes good products, so I just ordered their $99 blender model. It should last for years.

Kebabs experiment #2:

Marinade overnight + Sous vide bath + grill might be the peak way to enjoy beef.

[mac5155]

Wings method: sous vide and crisp, pressure cook and crisp, baking powder and crisp?

[tifosi77]

Baking powder and crisp? Is that in conjunction with one of the two cooking methods?

[mac5155]

I can't remember but I feel like I read to do that. I need to finish in the oven regardless, so I feel like it was in conjunction with either method.

Let's talk high end canned tuna:

I assume that the Ventresca variety is the way to go?

[tifosi77]

Ventresca is not a brand, it's a cut; it's cured belly. Ortiz (Spain) and Tonnino (somewhere in the Americas) are the best brands I've had. The Spanish stuff is usually from bonito tuna, but the other brand may be bluefin or yellowfin.

I do a dish we call 'pantry pasta' that leans on good canned tuna and/or sardines.

Yes, I'm aware...

[tifosi77]

Then you already knew the answer to your question.

Thanks.

I'm going to try out this Thai barbecue boiled chicken recipe this weekend:

Gregory is one of my favorites... he was on Top Chef Boston, and I always loved seeing what he'd come up with. Dish looks baller. Might try it in non-boiler cooking and replace the cilantro with parsley as my wife abhors cilantro.

[tifosi77]

All three of the grill recipes he did with CS are tasty. I still have some of his char-siu marinade in the fridge.

[Shyster]

I've experimented with char siu recipes in the past, and I'm convinced that an authentic char siu recipe needs to contain fermented red rice tofu.

[mac5155]

Anyone discover any good instant pot recipes?

I tried mongolian beef which wasn't the worst thing I've ever had.

Magnum is also a French (via Latin) word, so this checks out.

French: Sous-vide
French: Military Parades

Don't be French.

Trump was told that if he held a military parade, the evangelicals and Hassids wouldn’t care if he had a mistress. Stratch that...they never cared.

Is he going to be grilling (SVing?) hot dogs and burgers at said parade?

Clemson blue cheese, Italian pepperoncini, Greek olives, Spanish tuna and a baguette is a terrific way to attract three cats and a dog to the kitchen.
