I bought some chuck crest and tried a little experiment to see if I could make steaks out of such a tough cut. I guess I basically turned the BBQ into a sous vide machine. I kept the temperature in a tight range between 65c-75c and held it there for 9 hours. You don't really want to go much below 65 or you're sitting in the danger zone, and above 75 probably starts pushing the water out of the meat. What came out was tender but still cooked medium. The meat sat at 56c for a solid 4 hours while, I guess, the connective tissue melted. This would be awesome done with a standing rib roast.

Did you have the Korean or Taiwanese scallion pancake? The latter is a newish offering and is quite good!

I stopped at Bubba’s Crab to see what was available. He had steamers on the chalkboard but wouldn’t sell them. He didn’t indicate what was off, but he wasn’t comfortable. Gotta love an honest fishmonger. So I bought a dozen middle necks for an appetizer, served with lemon and melted butter. The haddock looked good, so I baked it scrod style with butter and cracker crumbs. Served with a sweet potato and chopped salad of kale, cabbage, carrots, celery and cucumber sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning.

We're using up leftover pizza dough, sausage from the farmers market, apples and cheese so we're having calzones and pasta with apple crumble for dessert.

Another practice pizza (this time feta and eggplant) on the gas pizza oven. Still getting a hang of the flame control, but consistency is improving.

Courtesy of a fridge/freezer that died overnight, Saturday night's dinner was some beer brats, mashed potatoes, and raw veggies with homemade ranch dip. Beer brats were in the freezer but had defrosted too much by the time we realized it to safely refreeze by shifting to other freezer. The container of mashed potatoes had defrosted as well.
Wednesday night, I will roast the turkey that started defrosting so we will have turkey tacos sometime this coming weekend.
