Hasn’t it occurred to Texans that the reason the French came up with “Sous Vide” cooking is because they have been eating rotten, horrible beef for centuries ?
Why does anyone think the French came up with all those sauces and heavy herbal marinades ?
It’s all about hiding the texture and taste of worst beef in the world.
I’m considering printing it and hanging it on the wall.
A very famous, old, and possibly dark painting.
With a chicken face slipped in.
A truly great commentary on our times.
I know someone reported on the gay male couple sexually abusing their two adopted boys a few days ago. I just read the story on Townhall. These…these…pond scum were actually trying to prostitute their kids and distribute porn involving the kids. Yeah, nine life sentences, consecutively. In general population. And lots and lots of therapy for those two little boys. … Read more »
So I can quit dreaming about cooking on a gas stove.
Didn’t think of that! Score one for the Sous Vide!

#112 EG, today was a good example of why I will always do my shopping in person. I went there wanting to get 3 of the 20 lb bags of dog chow. But I rarely shop with a list, I am there to see what is on the shelves that appeals to me. If I can’t get what I wanted,… Read more »
Yup, we loaded up the dishwasher for the first time in a while. With the the crock pot and the dishes for the gravy and meat the dishwasher takes care of the grease.
FWIW; We have wild garlic that has been growing around the Farm house for as long as I can remember and my dad brought some up here and planted them along the chicken yard fence. The fence and chicken house is long gone but the garlic is still there. My wife tends to it but I tell her that’s not… Read more »
Cilantro is like garlic and maybe curry, a little goes a long way. My dad loved garlic and put it on everything and sometimes it was just too overpowering. That said I love garlic and cilantro but I try to be careful not to over do it.
The Sous Vide roast experiment is over. Very good but not worth the hassle. As ELG said, roast did retain its texture, not stringy but very tender. Had good flavor but not wildly better than crockpot or oven. So – did ribeyes Sunday (as ELG said) absolutely waste of time for a good cut of beef, roast so-so. Glad I… Read more »
I understand, EL Gordo. It just seems to be a lot of extra effort for a very narrow improvement of results. Keep in mind that though I love great food, I generally consider cooking and cleanup to be a royal pain in the ass. (Quite literally, at times) And the more time I spend on my feet, the less payoff… Read more »
#109 – Amazon is your friend and will leave that 50# bag of dog food on your front porch. Walmart and most larger stores will do the same thing now. Given that you are still recovering from some lower extremity problem to begin with, I’m going to chastise you, gently this first time, for not taking advantage of these services. … Read more »

After my shopping trip, I was conflicted between a late lunch and an early nap. Went through my canned food shelves and picked a microwavable Wolf Brand chili meal-for-one, plus a handful of tortilla chips, washed down with chilled green tea. Good fast meal. Then burrowed in for my nap, with 2 purring cats.
I finally gave in and did an intense thirty minute dive into the study of Sous Vide.
It sounds very interesting and almost….uh..logical.
But yet, I still have one major question.
WHY?

I decided I had to go to Kroger and get some of the 20 lb bags of dry dog chow that is the main thing I put out for the raccoons and possums. Was very disappointed that there wasn’t a single 20 lb bag of that brand on the empty shelves. It’s been a year since I had to take… Read more »
During the last Legislature, we at least passed a law stating that if you publicly admit to hating cilantro, it’s perfectly legal and required that the rest of us look at you with a very intense side-eye.
You are killing me here. Reading your chicken story above I can see us turning that into a soap opera and present it in the Super Dave Tractor Emporium Cafe and Dinner Theater. We could have a running story and take Alabama by storm. Man i see shameless amount of gross profits rolling in.
Hey GramPaw what’s fer supper? Well I’ve been a little remiss in fixing a real supper lately and I’ve been wanting to fix a Beef Pot Roast so when I found a nice roast at the Pig yesterday I just had to get it. I put it in the Crock Pot this morning and them about 4 PM I smashed… Read more »

Shannon, we had to make a quick stop at HEB to pick up guac to go on the nachos we’re having for supper tonite, and, low and behold, whilst picking up an extra can of black olive slices to go on them, a can of the much vaunted Charro Beans jumped into our basket.

I cut and pasted the WSJ article I linked to here that no one could open apparently. I sent it to you via email since obviously I can’t post the whole thing here.
And dressing.
I do like french fries, toast and dip though I don’t care what y’all say.
Ok ok ok. Thought I was getting all hip. At least I didn’t buy one.
Not beef, anyway.
Even Mom never tried to pulled that.
I never saw anybody boil meat until I married a Yankee.
Very strange.
🙂
Yes, indeed.
The best Tucker I have seen to date.
God bless him.

The border has been eggstinguished by our usurping political eggheads.
Night all. More tomorrow.
Yes, little pa’dnah, many years ago we lived in a time when thousands recrossed our southern border to go back home for Christmas.
December 2022 saw a minimum 250,000 illegals cross north.
I’m thinking was probably much closer to 400,000.
Well that was unfortunate timing.
I been trying to save this for an opportune time but I won’t remember it when it does.

Dolly Parton turned 77 years old today.
And you think you’ve got back problems.
Tucker rarely disappoints.
Had the first Latin class of this reboot session. As soon as I could, I put the Tucker replay on the TV.
One more thing before I go, if you missed Tucker tonight you have to look up his monologue, one of the best ever.

Cilantro haters are ubiquitous. It’s very scary.
The Texas Commission On Taking Away Your Texan Card has been warring over the issue for years.
That Commission occupies the former office of the No Beans In Chili guys. But, of course, that was settled decades ago.

David Crosby died. Guy was a giant basshole but a dang great musician and vocalist.
No, no, no – don’t mash and refry Charro Beans. They have to be savored the first time just as they are right out of the can.
Personally, I don’t add anything to them. I suppose you could after a while.

Kissinger is 99 years old now and that photo came out nearly 50 years ago. I can’t believe I’m old enough to remember that craziness.
