That is definitely only for you I know Anna's views on MW.

@Kim Shook Your food always makes me hungry.

Me too. That should have been plenty of time to hit the target temp.

Me too Yes, I'm talking about central air.

Project "Cooking in hot weather" has commenced I SV'd a turkey breast and then Ronnie smoked it yesterday morning. Potato salad made with leftover taters. All I had to do last night is hard boil the eggs (in the IP so very little heat was added to the kitchen)

Admittedly, I am a big baby in the heat. I know it could be worse..... YES! That's the thread I was looking for. Thank you!

Thank you! I just ordered this mix from Amazon. I never make good wheat bread from scratch. We love composed salads, too . Thank you for the idea about using nuts. LOL a cold cloth on my forehead sounds like heaven right now.

YES. That is what I need to do. I am also almost out of bread. I need to get up super early and make that, too.

You know, you may be on to a great idea.....a king size bed picnic..... FUN Also, quiche. Yes.

GOOD idea. Perfect. I have some good salami --Ronnie is also an insister of meat lol.

Happy Birthday, Norm! That steak looks perfect.

Maybe if I start this topic the air conditioner people will install our new system this week. We've hung in here for about a month with no AC on the main floor. Well, none is not the right term. At night the AC used to be able to catch up and get down to 70F. Then around 10:30 a.m. it would begin to creep up. By 5 -6 p.m. it was at least 81F in the kitchen. I like it cold. 68F is about right for me. Anyway, long story short, the AC people are completely overwhelmed and to tide us over the sent a person out on Saturday to refill our AC with whatever the coolant is called. While doing that another part broke and now no AC at all on the main floor. The upstairs is still limping along. I'm sweaty. I've searched here to no avail--I swear there was a topic about cooking in hot weather. I found the Cold Noodles Cook-Off which will hopefully give me some ideas. I know that some like to grill or cook outdoors but when it's this hot outside, that is not for me. I'm looking for ideas for things I can prep in the morning and then serve for the evening meal. I don't mind using our CSO, the IP or the SV machine but I'm out of ideas and need some EG inspiration.

That's for if you were doing a big 'ole pork shoulder and you want it like pulled pork.

Tell me (you know I'm a country bumpkin) why they water the highway?

We had a nice rain overnight so we decided it was a good time to pull most of the onions. They sure didn't get very big this year. I guess because it go so hot so early. Will think about planting earlier next year......... Todays other pickage

The nightly cucumber salad A few beans were ready (finally) in the garden. Supplemented by store bought (not as good) Walleye

Oh the tomatoes are so good. I could eat a bushel a day. I made some alfredo to top it with. I SV'd the chicken at 142F for about 2 1/2 hours.

I'm a bit late but I'll chime in I do that exact same size of pork loin --give or take 1/2 a pound-- at 135F for 2 1/2 hours. Done it many times. SO tender, juicy and good. I would not add fresh onions. They will not cook down. I would season the loin with garlic powder...onion powder...salt and pepper. Add a pat of butter if you want to sear your loin after it's done in a cast iron skillet. You don't have to do that, of course. It's good either way. Also, it will be thawed enough, but I throw meat in when I start the SV machine and it's always been just fine. If it's frozen solid I add another 30 mins. Yours will be thawed though. Don't be nervous. This is easy as pie and SO good.

Nice job on the chicken and I love the name of that drink.

I think they would still work. I make a zucchini fritter that has feta cheese in it and was thinking about mixing in the chopped okra.

Pounded out chicken breast stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, pea shoots and mozzarella . SV'd for a couple of hours.

The mopping may have sealed the deal 😛😂

You REALLY need to. Especially in summer when the veggies are so good. Well, I appreciate that...if you come then we are both going to get right back in the car and go to @blue_dolphin 's house--her cooking always makes me drool

HA! I KNEW she wouldn't pass it up. 😂

I hope Max realizes how many people were depending on him for your pork. 😛😂
