Usually a sous vide insures that it is the same degree of doneness all the way through. Nice job on the grill.

It was the smaller of the untrimmed tenderloins I bought at the start of the pandemic. After trimming, this was the smaller end and I tied up "the chain" meat for a smaller roast not pictured. The trimmings and silverskin were used for smoke on the cook and given to the dog of our guest.

I will say that I'm kinda tired of mac and cheese via a box with the liquid cheese. I did it as the kids here eat it, but I grew up eating a "souffle style" mac and cheese and prefer it time permitting. Guess it's a "Two/ThreeAmericas" thing as my friends typically have never heard of such a dish.

Box
Bechamel version
Souffle version

I thought you were making that turkey from BA or having caviar for dinner with blinis. I couldn't keep track of all your different meals but I thought that is what you decided . I am pretty sure that jarred spaghetti sauce was not one of your xmas dinner ideas!

Costco didnt have caviar yesterday as I had planned to get, and my spouse wasnt hungry! So I settled for making my favorite meal for myself :-)
Im planning to have a currant scone with clotted cream after I run the dishes :-)

I don't eat caviar so don't know but is there any reason caviar has to be bought right before you are going to use it? Can it keep for a while...I remember you talking about seeing it last week. You have blinis and creme fraiche so need to get the missing piece ---can you get it at another not-Costco store?

Unopened, refrigerated at 28 - 32 F, non-pasteurized caviar will keep its quality for three weeks to a month; once opened, it should be consumed within a day or two. Pasteurized caviar, as long as the container remains sealed, will last a year and should be consumed within ten days once opened.

I doubt the Costco sells unpasteurized caviar.

I only shop regularly at Costco, Trader Joes, and Safeway; plus a gourmet food store thatll be too expensive (thats where I buy my $12-15 loaves and 12-oz coffee and gift chocolate bars). Im reducing the local supermarket because their staff isnt friendly (Davie style) so Ill only go there rarely for Terra Taro chips and deli-sliced roast beef. I dont know how their $42 caviar compares to Costco $42 caviar so Im better off sticking with Costco.
I have creme fraiche which can be used with other food and I only have blini recipe / ingredients - thankfully zero actual blini.

I guess if you prefer the Costco caviar you might not be interested. Plus, since for some reason you will only shop at certain stores and I think that at the moment Whole Foods is on your banned list ( I know for a long while Costco was banned and I thought that Trader Joe was banned too but I guess not anymore). But for the rest of you out there---Whole foods has 30% off all caviar for Prime members I guess in time for New Years. They also have a sale on sparkling wines.

Bama,

Nice to see you back posting. I was wondering if something happened to you.

Fish soup for a change from CHRISTmas fare .. too much of succulent meats and sweets ( even though the salmon en crote from CHRISTmas Eve ? was delicious )
Oh dear , we should consume the caviar in our fridge ! How can forget .. ?
