    Time for sous vide prime rib

    BilboBaggins, We normally do our primary Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, and this year I’m doing two entrees, one of which is a prime grade prime rib roast, around 6 ½ lbs. I’m undecided about the cooking method at this point, but if I choose to cook it sous vide I’ll do it as I have many...

    Go Army!

    As I see it, there's not much of a contest in this game. At -7, I've got Army to win, cover, and the total score will exceed the O/U of 36.

    I didn't want this to be my second post.

    I just saw this thread, and it's very sad news. My condolences to you and the family.

    Demi glacé recipe needed and question

    I've been making what I consider to be traditional, and authentic, demi-glace from scratch for many years, and it's an item we always have on hand. The process, while not labor intensive, is, as Chef JJ said, time consuming though it's mostly slow simmering, but the final results are well worth...

    Covid booster shot problems,

    The eligibility for the booster shots is similar to the eligibility set at the outset for the initial vaccinations starting with those individuals who are considered "most at risk", and then grading downward to those who are at lesser risk. First came those who are immunocompromised. The second...

    Covid booster shot problems,

    That does sound like a great promotion, and I'm not surprised they had a large turnout. As far as CV19 vaccination promos go, the most unique one I'm aware of was in an article I read a couple days ago about a legal brothel in Austria that's offering "Vaccinations with Benefits". I understand...

    Covid booster shot problems,

    My wife and I got our booster shots (Pfizer) about a month ago. I had no side effects at all, and her arm was a little sore to the touch for about a day.

    Smoked Butter

    I smoke butter frequently, and don't worry about the ambient temperature, or, for that matter, I don't even boter to fire up the smoker. I simply use a handheld portable smoke generator known as The Smoking Gun from Polyscience. I put 1 pound of room temperature butter, cut up into tablespoon...

    Boneless Turkey Breast - Where do you buy?

    I agree. I buy a large whole turkey breast on the bone, bone it out, season the inside as I desire, apply a transglutiminase (meat glue) slurry, reverse the ends to form something of an even cylinder shape, then wrap very tightly with cling film to better form the cylinder. If I'm really...

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    I understand. I'm familiar with that subject. BTW, thanks for mentioning carbonara, something I haven't made in a long time. I'm picking up some guanciale, and maybe fresh pasta, later this week to make the dish this coming weekend.

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    1MoreFord, You're correct. Authentic Italian Fettuccine Alfredo calls for only 3 ingredients. Confidentially, after a long and tiring day at work yesterday my wife wanted nothing more that something simple and quick, and I chose to make Fettuccine Alfredo. As in the movie, I made it the way I...

    Marinate brisket in greek yogurt?

    Interesting question,. I've used Greek yogurt in the past as a marinade for chicken and lamb with good results, but never thought about doing so with a brisket. That said, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with brisket. If I were in your position, and interested in trying the yogurt...

    Both the ribs and the brisket look great to me. Think you have the new pit dialed in to your satisfaction? Nice job!

    Anyone have a standby generator at the house?

    For about 15 years I've had a 24KW Generac whole house generator running on natural gas at my primary residence in the Chicago area. For around 18 years I had the same unit running on propane with a 500 gallon underground tank at a second home in Sarasota, FL. When I was preparing to make an...

    Beef prices

    Funny - My wife and daughter had dinner last night at Eddie Merlot's. I didn't join them because I met a client for dinner in Oak Brook. Regarding the Oak Brook Costco, I was there a couple years ago when I first discovered that they sold gasoline, and that the prices were pretty attractive...

    Beef prices

    Hello, and yes, you are close by. Coincidentally, I was in Burr Ridge a little earlier today to get an X-Ray done at the Loyola Medical Center satellite facility located there. Afterwards, met a friend for lunch at a nearby restaurant called Topaz. Are you familiar with it? BTW, on the way...

    Beef prices

    Nope, not California. I live in Hinsdale, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Neither one of our cars, an Audi R8 and a Audi RS7, could be considered an "Economy" car by any stretch of the imagination. When I go to a gas pump I may look at the price per gallon and just shrug my shoulders and think "it is...
