@dans wonderful dinner. a lot of work for one . but then there is the Wine. you did it justice. I do love a C du P . esp an old one. im sure it was tasty.

@mazza you used tobacco ?

so, this is not so much cheese , but other items linked to cheese : ''' British negotiators getting nowhere fast on the terms of a comprehensive trade deal with Canada '' ''''' cheese exports have been squarely rejected by their Canadian counterparts '''' ''''' negotiations over a wider trade deal, the Canadian government had been pushing for the British government to lower its food standards in relation to beef imports but the UK has refused to comply. '' so this is really about beef . Canadian beef to the UK . ?

the range is a Viking : recently ( just now ) cleaned : an item purchased for the Yoder : is apparently the finest stuff for cleaning and preserving SS. you use a clumped up ball of aluminum foil for the scrubbing it seems.

@Kim Shook Mr. Kim is a brave fellow.. going to the supermarket on a Sat. two days before Christmas .

Woods Hole Pellet Society. note the first posts in the thread. Ill ask re range and stove. Its not a Blue Star I think.

so far so good @WHPS : nice looking cap and some marbling . nice fat layer seasoned resting in the Vader ( the black experimental refrigerator )

@Norm Matthews exactly.

@Kim Shook interesting stuff ! the sum being more than the parts rather than Campbell’s beef and barley , next time try the Progresso. one (small ) step up . operative word ' small '

@Kim Shook id only cut it in half if that makes it easier to bag.

the WHPS is gearing up for a Grand Day Out ( Christmas Day ) on the Yoder : Materials : it going to be patted dry , seasoned w Sauers Prime Rib seasoning https://sauers.com/collections/sbi-rubs-grillers-grinders/products/prime-rib-roast-seasoning-rub placed on a rack , in the Vader ( the black refrigerator ) to dry out until Christmas AM then , Yoder'd 225 F , until ... then rested , wrapped , in the Yeti cooler until all the sides are done . hopefully more pics to follow.

@Kim Shook are their ribs attacked ? one onion is to carefully remove them , leaving as much meat on the roast as you can or leave a little meat on the ribs and roast those as a separate meal . then cut the roast you have in half , so now you have tow smaller roasts . SV works will all sizes , so you will be fine w two roasts. I think is fine to season as you would normally and vac // freeze. then you can start your SV cooking , hopefully the basg are still air tight from frozen. just add more time . use the jus for the start of a gravy . remember that at lower temps w SV , 130 - 135 , time is your tenderness and a few hours extra does not effect the result on your plate very much love to see a pic of that roast before you start its journey to your plate 5.99 is a very good price. here MarketBasket has something possibly similar , $ 9.99. you've got a good deal

@Rajala from your description , Im not clear what is being accomplished . if you put a jar , lets assume w a loose lid in a vacuum chamber , you will get a vacuum in the chamber and the jar. when you release the vacuum, to open the chamber the air goes back into the chamber and the jar. no way to tighten the lid while under a vacuum in the chamber. am I missing something ?

@Duvel you certainly know where to stop and eat on your travels. congratulations. that food looks stunning. loved the road side chicken art. so , you didn't get a Bresse chicken ? the finest i n the world. and no Bleu de Bresse ? my favorite cheese. Ah , you plan a stop on the way home ! excellent thinking P.S.: what's on top of the alight ? something porky ?

there are different types of grates. nor just in size but sharpness of the metal edges. Micopane https://www.microplane.com is a style , that is almost razor-sharp. CuisiPro https://www.cuisiprousa.com/collections/customer-top-picks/products/cuisipro-silver-stainless-steel-4-sided-box-grater-9-5-746850 uses this same technology for many of their items. make sure you understand the difference between this style and your GrandMa's stamped graters. you can injure your knuckles w the microphone style in a serious manner if not careful.

@BonVivant looking forward to your trip. thank you for taking us along. very nice Personal Beverages , BTW.

in another thread , salt content was mentioned in commercial preparations of stuffing mixes. I used to use Pepperidge Farm cornbread mix w my own add-ins of course I checked the bag recently , and the mix did contain a a lot of sodium. I discovered a box of TJ's cornbread mix , that Id had for quite some time. I was going to toss it , but opened it uo and the cornbread was separate from the sodium heavy seasoning mix. I might then use that box w just a little of the dry mix , and add my own flavors w/o sodium. I asked today at Tj's for the mix in true TJ style , D/C/d for the season ! are there any stuffing mixes where the seasoning is separate ? Stove top ? others ?

@Tropicalsenior save a few seeds for the next crop. the initial seed might have been a hybrid , but no matter the plant is doing well. look up how to save tomato seeds. you have to ' ferment ' off the gel the covers them. good luck !

@Senior Sea Kayaker that shrimp plate looks delicious. fine looking plump shrimp.

@Shelby very impressed w your SV VR. you've explained the tenderness in your second post. I used to go to Colorado once a year , for the obligatory meting. but really went for the Elk , farmed, at a particular restaurant. tender juicy , on the rare side. for fajitas. loved the flavor how does deer compare w elk ? Id rather eat elk than beef. on the old buck , 135 for 12 hours ? don't be afraid of extra time at those lower temps.

@haresfur you bet. I have at least a dozen of the comics. and then there was ' Dr. Atomic '

@BonVivant thank you for putting so much effort into your posts. thy are all so interesting and Im sure very tasty. thank you again.

packaged stuffing mixes do indeed pack a sodium punch. I used to use Pepperidge Farm cornbread. checked the package and was quite surprised on the amount. too bad the companies don't offer lower salt versions.

I enjoyed the Kalamaat for quite some time. have not seen t for a long while.

I tried the above EVOO . I liked it. it has ' green ' flavors that are quite nice. and a pepper-ey finish . if its still there next week Ill get a few more bottles . you know , ' just in case '
