Got a Sous Vide machine two weeks ago. Makes cheap top sirloin eat like a rib eye, and sirloin strip like filet.

I got mine back when Anova had a fund me page.
I used for larger cuts. I did try it with rib eye, but grilled on coals is my way to go for steaks. I'll try it with top sirloin.
Eggs are fantastic though.

Great places to grab a bite?

If you get the higher fat mix (still not bad, I think 93/7), pour out some of the liquid before storing it in the fridge. Cold turkey fat is gross looking. But you might not be as squeemish as I am about that. Was the only step I forgot to mention.

If you grind your meat, it will last at least 4 days without the need of cooking it. That makes you think what king of ground meat they sell to us. It's simple and cost effective and you know what's in it.

For you soup lovers (like me) but perhaps dont like kale....

try Portuguese caldo verde....Kale soup.

I was raised on this stuff. Guarantee its both better the second day and will turn you on to kale.

many recipes on line. Ours kale, potatoes, chicken stock, chorizo, cubed stew beef , white beans and we usually serve over a bit of elbow macaroni.

lol duly noted, definitely don’t need that

There are no cookies posted?

Have I taught you people nothing???

Instant pot lasagna is quite tasty, and great for just one or two people. I'll go find the recipe and post it, but here was my attempt at it the first time. Edit: the recipe www.amindfullmom.com/instant-pot-lasagna/

Ok, I don't do drugs, including marijuana, but this was too funny

Here’s one of my favorites....

BBQ Beef Stew

1 lb Sirloin Tips cut into small pieces
(don’t use stew beef because there is no broth to tenderize it)
2 jars tomato sauce
1 bottle BBQ sauce
2 Lg. cans of corn
1 bag frozen green beans
2 cans diced tomatoes

I dredge the sirloin tips in seasoned flour (garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper) then pan fry them in olive oil.

Once cooked through, throw them in a crockpot with all the other ingredients for 4-6 hours.

Serve over rice.

lol marshmallow/raspberry/shortbread cookie covered in chocolate

Whoever invented them is diabolical. Too good to consume less than 6-8 at a time

 

[McGarnagle]

Yesterday I threw chicken breasts, potatoes, and a carrot into the crock pot with a roasted red pepper vinaigrette. Turned out pretty good.

I think they're basically Canadian Mallomars. But I'm sure lovers of both Whippets and Mallomars would hate me for saying that - it's like saying Tim Horton's is Canadian Starbucks.

With grocery delivery, every week is like Christmas. You're never sure what you're gonna get! Last week, I didn't get chicken (a little surprising) or rice (well, no duh - but I at least had enough to ration). I did, however, accidentally manage to hoard milk - yes, completely by accident. Ordered 2 cartons of skim. They called asking if they could substitute, and I said sure...they substituted 3 slightly smaller bottles of lactose free milk, which is fine...but somehow, they also put in the 2 cartons of skim that I had originally ordered!

So, hopefully my supply of instant pudding comes in, because I honestly have no idea what to do with all this milk! Perhaps popovers.

I kind of miss going to the grocery store. I'm taking 15 minute walks outside to simulate grocery shopping, which reminds me....I hate walking.

Making sheppards pie tonight. No peas at the store, so with corn.

Made a lasagna a few nights ago and fried rice yesterday.

I recommend chicken marsala.

It was fan-freaking-tastic! @Kovi and I do a really good job of cooking together.

Of course we are really good at ordering Chinese delivery too!

That’s my problem. I’m WAY too good at ordering delivery

What pasta is that? Its fantastic!

I believe those were large elbows this time, but we've made it with penne, rigatoni, and farfalle in the past and it all works.

 

[LSCII]

that looks amazing

My wife found it on pintrest, and it's a keeper. Even our girls (11 yr old twins, and an 8 yr old) eat it, which is a rarity for us. Most nights, we're like a short order cooks over here, making 3 different meals for them.

I love take out, but with this virus crap, I've been avoiding doing that just to limit exposure risks.

My wife is a soup master so I'll have to let her know about this one. Makes a large pot a week and my girls love it. In fact she made a giant pot of chicken and rice yesterday. The smells were driving me crazy while I was working at the kitchen table. She's crazy because she makes it all from scratch, which I wouldn't have the patience for.

 

[LSCII]

For those that were interested in the pasta, here's the details on how to make it:

 

[jgatie]

How's that?

It cooks in a circulating water bath set at a very precise temperature. So it can never go above the doneness you want (rare, medium-rare, etc) no matter how long it cooks. That way a not-so-tender piece of meat can get tender without over cooking it.

I preferred the Shepards pie

Short story: We had to go back out to the store because I either left the bag with the meat in it in the cart or it was left at the bagging area. Either way, I'm grateful we had the time and means to go get more and hopefully someone who really needed steak and chopped onion picked it up and enjoyed it.
We all need a little blessing right now.
