15 hour brined chicken, butterflied and cooked over coals. Served with my peri peri sauce, a simple salad and crusty bread. I brined the chicken in beer, brandy, white wine, garlic and bay leaves. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...414217f10.jpeg I can hear the crunch of the baguette, music to my ears. |

Looks good. But that’s a whole lot of mustard.

I finally used my new grill pan I bought during Prime Day and I cooked my first ribeye steak, which was a little gristly. An imperfect Imperfect Foods steak or just bad luck of the meat draw? I roasted purple potatoes and fennel with smashed garlic cloves. Oh, actually I used the Super Convection Air Fryer setting on the new to me Breville.
PS - I only ate half of the steak. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1a3ab06f2.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4c0a8a86e.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ebf3178e1.jpeg |

Bagged Caesar salad
2 yellowfin tuna cakes. |
Mr. CE was off today and kind enough to pick up tacos for lunch -- grilled tilapia and checked tacos for me, both traditionally garnished (onion and cilantro).

Had a delightful belated birthday for a friend as restricted dining in resumed , yet again .
A seasonal truffle special is on at Dempsey Cookhouse ( Jean-Georges Vongerichten ) . We almost got carried away but managed some control and had 2 of them : Steamed King Crab, Black Truffle Herb Butter & burrata with Black Truffles and Toast . Was extremely engrossed in conversation and seeing our meal that photos were forgotten till desserts ! Along with the truffles we had a third starter kale & broccoli with parmesan , croutons & modified the soft boiled egg with hard boiled egg . Besides the pizza below our main was Veal Milanese with arugula and heirloom tomatoes . https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...747ec5287.jpeg Salted caramel sundae with hot fudge , peanuts and popcorn . Also blueberry lemon Basque tart with blueberries and creme fraiche https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c5e1d3286.jpeg Fontina truffle pizza , as you can see - brought home most of it . |

That steak doesn’t look bad. I do find that I enjoy a cheap chuck roast that has been sous vide, as much as the $25-40 steaks I get in restaurants. Not any gristle, either.

Funny, when I read this comment last night, I wished Imperfect Foods offered some non-steak beef… and chuck roast is available this week. My new dutch oven is giddy with anticipation.

IF has both imperfect and 'perfect' foods. I checked the nearest grocery stores' websites, Nob Hill (Raleys) non-grass fed chuck roast is $6.99/lb, and Safeway has $3.99/lb regular and $7.99/lb grass fed. I'm okay paying $8.99/lb to infrequently get these through my weekly grocery source.
