Napa valley is my happy place. I will follow your adventures with a smile on my face and a glass of wine in my hand.

What temperature sous vide if you don't mind sharing.

Brûlée cheese! That will be my next project. Cut goat cheese log into coins, sprinkle with sugar, brûlée.

Monkfish with brown rice.

Oh that egg...

@rotuts I have two CSO and a back up unit in case they stop making it. Not that I am paranoid or anything. It's just my Russian upbringing. One must have salt, matches, soap and their favorite kitchen appliance. Candle is citronella to protect us from mosquitos and not from the Brie! We clearly liked it.

Brie so ripe that eating it outside was a necessity. I know that @rotuts likes to ripen his Brie but I took this specimen one umami molecule too far. It was consumed with pita chips and margarita.

Sounds intriguing. How do you transform canned tuna into rillett? Please share the details.

Few left over roasted potatoes sliced into coins. Topped with mistery meat rescued from left over office pizza. Added crumbled blue cheese and feta that were past their prime. Sprinkled with fresh thyme, thank god there was something fresh on this dish:). Steam baked in CSO 325 degrees 15 minutes. It was tasty! @liuzhou, please notice the color on those potatoes. Not quite fluorescent but close

Brown rice with broccolini stems, pork, egg. Kinda like fried ric.

Vietnamese inspired pork chops with left over papaya salad. Kinda following this recipe for pork. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/06/vietnamese-grilled-pork-chops-cold-rice-noodle-salad-recipe.html

King salmon and roasted potatoes. Salmon was exceptionally fresh and I managed to cook the skin to a nice crisp without over cooking the fish due to the nice thickness of the filet.

It tastes very refreshing. But the color is rather intense, I agree

Cold buttermilk beet soup (свекольник in Russian).

Polenta with hot dogs and egg.

Pork chops stuffed with feta, pistachios, and capers. Corn on the cob.

Halibut and broccolni.

Tuna steak and a large salad.

Polenta with pork belly and egg. It will keep me full for a long time.

Prime beef really marbled strip steaks and potatoes. 77 degrees outside. Just perfect.

DH is turning 50 today. Not 64. Anyway. Few days ago I came home from a particularly long day at work. There was a cocktail glass on the kitchen counter. With some liquid in it. What kind of drink did he make me? How nice of him to help me relax after a long day . Sadly, that was his mouth guard soaking in my fine crystal. We are officially old. But happy. Which is nice.

Pork belly, brown rice

Was trying to make congee with left over Nando's rice but it did not cook the way I wanted, basically it became rice soup (I think they use parboiled rice). Served with left over pork chop, fried egg. And inspired by @Anna N, furikake sprinkles. It was unexpectedly delicious.

Polenta with fried egg and bits and pieces of protein left over after making stock (made crispy in cast iron skillet). I love polenta and now make it often, thanks to pot in pot Instant Pot method.

Pork chop marinated in soy sauce and sweet chili sauce with roasted okra.
