  1. dinners are on the early side , as its quite warm

     

    I frequently put together a ' Curry ++ ' dinner .  only use the Micro.

    bottom layer : standard House salad :  spinach , Campari T, window green onion , kimchi , sauerkraut , bit of EVOO.

     

    then one of Tj's Fz curries , Micro'd

    this one I think is called FieryChicken Vindaloo.  its spicy

    this goes over the salad , then dried cherries and cranberries , and dry roasted pecans.

     

    I try to remember a scoop of mango chutney .

     

    quite nice .

  2. went looking for a Chablis @ TJ's , to take down to the WHPS in a week or so.

     

    found one , butt my WineBuds recommended this white Bordeaux :

    IMG_7132.thumb.jpeg.827ea918926fda626a4dde30c7a61180.jpeg

     

    it was $ 8.49 or so .  I haven't had a white Bordeaux in Ions , not for any particular reason.

     

    used to get some all time .  This one is a delight.  My white table wine ( Index ) is the Tj's Coastal Chardonnay  @ $ 4.99

     

    Dry , no Oak , decent ' mouith feel '

     

    this Graves is very very nice as a complementary to that :

     

    dry , crisp , light body :  would be excellent w shellfish , and other very fresh fish.

     

    my WB's  suggested it quite a bit pricier elsewhere .  After a sip or three  ( very cold )  I googled it

     

    its $ 17.99 ( USD ) elsewhere .  I wouldnt get it for that price differential , but for what it is in my glass.

     

    Im taking a bottle of this , along w the Chablis down to the WHPS  to compare at the same time.

     

    granted , grapes vs other grapes , but why not ?

    if you are using steam as your heat transfer medium , Id let the CR thaw in the refrigerator first.

     

    heat transfer w steam @ those temps is much less efficient over water ( vac-bagged ) as a heat transfer medium.

     

    and the times // temps you mentioned earlier for AO steam SV  might get you a roast that has some chew left in it

     

    which might be fine , sliced thinly.

     

    good luck

  4. @TdeV

     

    I have no answer to you question .

     

    nothing should dry out @ 100 % steam.  

     

    one thing Id consider :  how are you placing the meat in the AO ?

     

    on a plate ?  on a rack on a plate ?    how does the heat circulate on the bottom of the meat ?

     

    where do the Jus from the meat ( as it contracts ) go ?

     

    I looked rather down that thread , and the meat sliced by some did look very good.

  5. @TdeV

     

    please take some pics before and after !

     

    as I see the Rx , the AOven is @ 100 %  humidity ?

     

    wont dry out if this is the case.  I have not used my AO just yet , so do not know its peculiarities .

     

    id make sure the water reservoir does not dry out.

     

    the rub has nothing to do w dryness .  it's for flavor.  

     

    and easy rub would be salt / freshly ground black pepper , then maybe granulated garlic and granulated onion

     

    or powder for the last two.

     

    N.B. have you used the AO @ 100 % humidity for this long ?

     

    thinking both the reservoir and drainage .

     

    best of luck !

     

    Pics always appreciated , the more the better.

     

    bon appetite !

  6. rather than start a new thread 

     

    ( unusual )  Ill post here :

     

    on the ladyfinger thread , a Goya cookie was recomended.

     

    I finally remembered to go down the ( extensive ) Goya isle @ MarketBasket , a local family owned chain

     

    I got these to try :

     

    IMG_7128.thumb.jpeg.c9cdf4590a9b5755c629925cbbb02026.jpeg

     

    they are not Goya , but from Brazil  ( There is a Brazilian community in the area )

     

    they are not sweet , and the milk flavor is a tiny bit burnt

     

    they remind me of cookies from way back when :  like animal cookies , but not as sweet.

     

    Im going to study that Goya isle more closely .

  7. Prime Day is not what it used to be.

     

    Back then the discounts were good ones , designed to  boost traffic at the site

     

    thus seriously boosting AMZN's stock price.

     

    and then the Swells cashed in their Options.

     

    These days , mostly to clear away junk.

     

    think back to the deals on hot items , like the iPots.

     

    year in and year out for a few years.
