Somehow managed to escape the gruelling office hours just before I totally ran out of whatever positive emotional energy I had left in me. This will be a quick post. I have to go back into hiding before anyone finds me. So… Lamb shanks. Yeah! that’s exciting stuff right? The easiest thing in the world too. […]

Grilling season is here. Deep frying season is also here, at least in my house. I just got a deep fryer. I can’t express how happy I am that I did. I should have done this years ago. I cook a lot of meat at home and I like a good sear on it. I usually rely […]
12h Saline Brine : Sous Vide Cornish Hen 62.3C 3h : Yellow Mustard
Sous Vide Cornish Hen? What the hell is a Cornish hen and why are they not more popular? At least not in the parts of North America I’ve been to, and that’s Los Angeles and Vancouver.
