    I've done the sous vide and sear thing a few times, but I'll share my preferred lazy bachelor keto/paleo method:

    Brown some ground beef with salt and pepper in a bunch of fat until it's getting crispy.
    While that's in progress, nuke some frozen cauliflower.
    Throw the veggies into the beef and break everything up.
    And that's basically it. One pan, maybe half an hour for everything to be done.

    The result is kind of like a beef hash with cauliflower masquerading as potatoes. Feel free to believe the keto/paleo stuff is baloney. With grass-fed beef and tallow, it fits my warped idea of healthy.

    My daughter wants to be a vegetarian. I'm still trying to cure her with the results from my smoker.

    If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?

    One thing I can't figure out, though: If vegetarians are so squeamish about dismembering animals (most of the times after their death), why don't they have any qualms at the systematic dismembering and mutilation of living, breathing plants? And before someone suggests that plants don't feel things, try lighting a fire next to the leaves of a plant and see how it reacts...

    It's clearly going to be one of those nights ...



    (You have to watch it all ... especially from 1:40 and on).

    The weekend before last my fiancé and I happened past the conservatory at "volunteer park". We'd gone in hopes of catching the "corpse flower", but missed that by a week (and I don't think it bloomed anyway). But while there, beyond amassing a reasonable quantity of conkers, we came across a good number of highly reactive plants. Touch them, even gently, and their leaves/fronds actively retreated.

    I'm pretty sure that if they don't want to be touched, they're not signing up to be "dinner".

    Mmmm, beef ribs have been in the smoker today. I will pull them in about 30 minutes. First time I've done the full dinosaur bones - normally I've done pork ribs.

    New York Angus steak with a real Bearnaise (white wine reduction instead of vinegar based). Bearnaise is part of the Hollandaise and Mayonnaise (at least the real stuff, not the crap found in US supermarkets) family - mostly egg yolk and butter.

    The steak is actually super rare inside. I have a Viking stove where I can get the cast iron pan hot enough to do this. I call this dish the heart-attack special. A ton of butter, three egg yolks and a cup of white wine went into the sauce. The sauce is a bitch to make. Low heat, constant stirring, multiple steps, heat control, and lot of time. Need to be super careful right around the time the yolks start to thicken, otherwise we get cooked egg.
