What did everyone cook today?
-
For those who may recall a post I put up of some stir-fry a while back, I had made special mention of my great aunts chopsticks that she brought back from Japan after WWII. Well going through some old pictures the other day, I found one of her and thought I would share. She was a pretty unique lady, especially for her day. I knew her only briefly while she was living in an assisted living home, fraught with dementia, unfortunately. Here she is photographed in Japan, likely cleaning the floor with a couple of G.I.'s !
RafterW There is no “pretty Unique” about it, she is a unique & an amazing lady!

Tex_77 well done is subjective lol. My dad cooked all his steaks to crispy critters. I’d consider that one a medium rare, bordering medium.

RafterW tasty and healthy looking meal.

Finally after a two year hiatus I made a batch of chili. Found a few pounds of brisket from the fall when pulling meat for grinding. I think I found my favorite meat to make chili; the wife wanted beans in it. Gotta pick your battles.

RafterW I hear ya, I think it was something with that generation. My dad puts ketchup on everything, i think he picked up that habit up from my Grandpa who I remember telling me during the War he had to put ketchup on all most everything to make it edible, and the food he disliked the most that they got was powdered eggs.

-
gus4416 What was your process for preparing the casings? Were they new casings or one you had, had for a while?
-
Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler. -

gus4416, did you let the links dry in the fridge over night before freezing and vac sealing? I’ve only made linked sausages a hand full of times but I’ve never skipped the drying overnight step. Maybe the casings remained a bit too wet and caused that toughness?
