Not much of a fall season here in MN so far. Summer straight to winter I guess.. .

Were you not dreaming of a white Halloween?

Ha! No kidding. I still need to store the riding lawnmower away in the shed and pull out the snowblower...

I was supposed to go to Chicago this weekend and had reservations at Gibsons.  Governor and mayor are locking everything down.  Just cancelled my plane tickets and hotel reservation.  2020 is pretty much a write-off.

On the bright side...you're still alive and you get to spend more time with the family unit and all the parasitical critters under your ward (AKA "pets").

That is a major upside for sure.

I've been trying to learn more about SV cooking lately.  Specifically, I've been having a tough time getting maximum flavor from aromatics because they wont penetrate in the bag and seem dull/bland when applied after processing SV.  

Found a resource that discusses the breakdown of albumin in the bag.  One solution is to use eggwhites as a binder to get maximum adherence of your seasoning post-processing.  Tried it last night on a hanger steak....ho lee chit. Game changer for me.  Hope some of yall find this useful.

I’m telling all you Sous vide non believers that replacing the albumins lost during the cooking process is a game changer.

Tonight I used powdered egg whites.

Dusted with the powdered egg whites

spritzed to hydrate 

applied rub (in this case, dizzy pig cow lick)

seared to finish. 

sliced across the grain and got a perfect med-Rare

Nice. Never heard of that trick. Can’t say I’ve thought I needed it but I’ll give it a rip. I like to try everything that I don’t understand or think is interesting. This is interesting.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker I’ve struggled with SV cooking because I couldn’t find the right balance between seasoning in the bag and building a flavorful crust.

This trick is a game changer for crust building and seasoning adherence.

Sorry to hear of the passing of James Randi today. A brilliant fellow.

Makes sense. I don’t ever season in the bag and I usually only do salt or sometimes salt and pepper to sear. I use it a lot but I’m pretty simple when it comes to Sv

First tri-tip in many years, close to a hose job but salvaged.
Going in: (Porter Road for the supplier)

Reverse sear then:

Dodger's bullpen is their weak link.  When they go to it that early, they have no chance.  Tampa Bay bullpen is lights out.  Dodgers need to jump on their starter for any chance.  Cash impresses me with his game management.  Roberts does not.

Going to be 78 today. Seems like the day I have been waiting for to pull my honey supers for the last time this year. Too wet to combine but possibly late this afternoon.

Beautiful start to the day
