    Christmas 2014

    Tentatively... Butternut squash soup, Beef tenderloin SV w onions and sauteed mushrooms, smoked yam puree, braised kale (in the collard style), corn pudding, corn bread....steamed Xmas pudding with creme anglaise.
  2. I use this, or Crosse and Blackwell Cranberry chutney, a lot as the base for sauces and vinaigrettes esp for pork and turkey meals.
  3. The most I'll put in is a bit of fat, or, in the case of just cured corned beef, I'll put in an equal amount of water:meat in order to elute some salt from the beef as it cooks.
  4. I was surprised to hear Ming Tsai say on Top chef that he hadn't had a beurre blanc in years...his loss.
  5. I suspect that they are getting water out of the confection. I leave my candied nuts at room temp and open to the air and tey do not get sticky.

    Dinner 2014 (Part 6)

    Butternut squash soup We are in a duck rut. Duck confit and mushroom risotto (that was just a bit too tight, but tasty) Leftover risotto turned into arrancini the next day

    Poultry Meatloaf

    Why not cook it sous vide to keep it juicy?
  8. This is a particularly good piece. Just use goggles when working with lye.

    Holiday Nibbles

    Candied nuts are always a good start. As Christmas approaches the cookies appear...I'd like them better if they were savory rather than sweet...which is why I turn to cheese straws.
  11. Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia is without question the worst cooking show.
  12. I often make pulled pork by cold smoking a shoulder or Boston butt and then cooking sous vide x 2 days. BBQ or not? If its the product that matters...I make BBQ pork. If its the process that matters, I don't.
  13. Does BBQ describe the product or the process?
  14. Agreed. Esp on the pre-salt. I salt after SV before the sear, and then again lightly before serving. I've gotten a cured texture from even modest preSV salting
  15. I do a halved romaine. Cut side down till wilted and brown, then flipped to wilt the back of the butt. Here's a photo. I don't cook so long that the browned parts are crumbly, they stay soft The soy/red wine infused onions are pretty neat with tenderloin too.
  16. I love sauteed romaine. Sauteed in butter till its dark brown. Nutty, sweet, bitter. Great with fish and mild meats.

    The only sushi that needs gravy more than soy.
  18. Moving-on is not the equivalent of condoning bullying. If moving-on is do-able...do it. This thread is getting like Chowhound. Oy.
  19. Sausage and tomato fritata

    Thanksgiving 2014

    Spectacular menu Baron!
  21. I've never seen or touched one and I could do a better job than that moron
  22. I don't understand. How does the door seal keep the steam from the toast?
  23. Smoked pork tenderloin salad, cranberry vinaigrette, with candied pecans. (Jalapeno cornbread not shown)
  24. Perhaps it was harvested late. End of season cabbage can get huge
  25. Like Pedro, my SVS hasn't drifted. My anova 1.0 lost 1.5 deg F over a year. No biggie, just recalibrate occasionally
