It was nice today... I made some good Mai Tais.
Had seconds.
My wife made a delicious pork in green chile, from scratch.
I was sooo buzzed. ;-)
I got a $100 gift card to our local High End meat shop...

I think I'll go get a nice cut of meat for the weekend. Two hours in the sous vide, finished on the grill with a good bottle of Santa Ynez Valley Malbec...
No, not marbled like Wagyu.. IMHO, that kind of beef must be sliced thin and cooked over a table top grill... otherwise it's actually too fatty and turns out as if it has been deep fried.. not good.
Mostly a good Prime cut, two pounds, rib eye with good marbling. No need for aging when cooking it in the sous vide. Sliced on the bias, perfect for three people. Nice simple tomato and cucumber salad, sparkling mineral water..... YUM YUM YUM...
You know, I got a lot of really good wines from the Santa Ynez Valley that go perfect with beef... Central California is actually Ranch Country.
...
Dang it, those were awesome Mai Tais.
