The food thread

[TheGimp]

This is where traffic was stopped for three miles on Highway 81 going through Virginia. There were three wrecks in as few miles.

Found a really nice micro brewery outside Manasses VA. Two Silos Brewery

30 Barrel Fermenters. Lots of them.

Good food, good beer and a really nice hot cider with Fireball added.

Family Gathering

Good to see.
Colonel Saunders Gimp is nice and smiley - even after the drive.

Don't bother doing sausages sous vide.

 

[DPH]

Haha, I have almost-72 hour beef short ribs sitting the bath. Dinner tonight!

 

[Cal Weldon]

Daniel, I'm about 6 hours away. What time is dinner?
Also I have to ask. Do you mean the original short ribs or what the Maui/Korean/whatever thin cut they call it today is?
I may have to pick up your message on the way to the airport, thank god I pre packed for Costa Rica. This is going to be easy. See you in a bit. I need a ride from the airport.

Pumpkin doesn't ring my papillae bell, with one single exception.

Arepa di Pampuna- Curacao – All Those In Flavor

Standard recipe is without the vanilla, plain flour and a couple of raisins added.
Available on every corner at the island, things I'm in the mood for any time of the day or night.
(then again, I'm not able to visit a Chinese store without swallowing a few baked char siu bao buns on the exit)

Interesting, the first time I had pumpkin in anything that wasn't pie was in the Caribbean, where I had a spicy pumpkin soup. I laughed when I saw pumpkin soup on the menu, and I stopped laughing when I tasted it, and I cried when I realized I couldn't get any at home.

Sounds about right. I don't see any benefit, an only potential downside.

I didn't hear the knock -- are you lost?

These are a bit longer "short rib" but they definitely came from our local Korean store. Sous vide'd with a bit of S&P, splash of Worchestershire and soy sauces. Simple affair of brown rice pilaf and broccoli to complement.

Time to go figure out a reduction from the jus, too.

 

[Cal Weldon]

What they call short rib today was called a Maui rib in my day.

Go ahead with dinner without me, unfortunately they brought the dog out to check my bag at PDX.

I might be a little late.

 

[DPH]

Here's the carnage.

They were about 2" thick, but yes looked like Maui ribs. So good!

Edit, we took the fat and sealed it up in a bag with a piece of elk brought down by my neighbor. Will be sous vide confit. ;-) I can hear Scott protesting from here, haha.

 

[Cal Weldon]

I think I just wet my pants.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Since I'm sitting here at the airport waiting for my flight home, I might as well show you my ginormous dill pickles. Pretty darn good for 10 days.

 

[DPH]

It took 10 days to eat that pickle? That ain't no ordinary pickle!

 

[Cal Weldon]

I also ate the garlic and sacrificed any chance of bedtime smooches. This is a huge conundrum for me. While I understand the benefits, it's Saturday night and I have a warm, welcoming and pretty wife. What was I thinking?

From what I hear elk needs the sous vide. My daughter left me hers so I think I'll join the crowd and give it a try.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Do you already have the element? If not, the Anova one works just fine and is reasonably priced.

No, she had the whole 9 yards sous vide box, vacu-packer, etc.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Yes, I wouldn't have bought it, were it not for the element being separate. Simply no room around here. Also, using a cooler for the bath means it's well insulated, and you can choose which to use depending on the size needed.
