Haven’t had much of an appetite this week, but today I got in the mood for a sandwich and some chips! Oven Roasted Turkey, Pepper Jack Cheese and Horseradish Mustard on Rye. Corn Tortilla Chips not shown. The sandwich was wrapped in a damp paper towel and then nuked on a low power, just long enough to take the chill off the frozen bread and to melt the cheese. Hit the spot!

Crispy Pork Carnitas Taco with Onion, Cilantro and Salsa Verde - one of two!

Yeah, keeping an inventory has really helped me. I have the list on my iPad, try to update it every week or so, and print out a copy that I hang in the kitchen to refer to when meal planning. Edited to add: The pork butt roast is out and thawing. Going into the instant pot later for carnitas tonight! Corn tortilla tacos with crispy carnitas, onion, cilantro and salsa verde!

I use the water displacement method to remove the air from the package, so no real pressure put on the product. https://anovaculinary.com/sous-vide-water-displacement-method/

No, it maintained the same shape as when it was formed.

Serious Answer: What?

I had been craving a burger, so... 1/4 lb. Ground Chuck Burger (Sous Vide at 129F for an hour; seared on the grill) on a toasted Ciabatta Roll with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mustard and Mayo. Very satisfying!

Can’t say how many our goose would have served, but I have been surprised at the amount of meat this bird has given us. The bird weighed about 10 1/2 pounds. The first meal was the legs for two. I did not finish my portion. The second meal was a half breast shared with the two of us, with a bit leftover that I had for breakfast the next day. When I pulled the rest of the meat together, I had just under a pound. Four ounces were used for the goose and noodles soup. Two cups were used in tonight’s pot pie, which made 8 servings, and most of the other half of the breast has gone into the freezer for a future use, along with some of the skin to make cracklins. The goose also gave us lots of fat and stock. Three cups of fat and a quart of stock have been added to the freezer, along with the carcass to make more stock when needed. A very generous goose!
