About me

I have now developed a burning desire to go to culinary school.  Of course, at the nice young age of (almost) 66 years, I don't think there will be many scholarship opportunities available.  It's the age old story, if you have the money, you don't have the time, and now that I have the time, you know I don't have the money.  LOL

Happy Birthday, Anne!

Thanks again. Finally figured out how the site works. Frank

Anne, thanks for your comment on Sous Vide. I can't find it today, but remember reading it yesterday. Glad to hear of your success with Food Saver. Re your question about how is SV different than cooking peas in a bag, the biggest difference would be that SV is done at temperatures below 212 degrees. I've had no trouble regulating the heat just by using the lowest burner setting on my gas stove, and by adding an ice cube(s) if temperature starts to climb. I've done lamb loin and fish, both of which have relatively short cooking times (20 - 30 minutes). This manual control of water temp. would be totally impractical for cuts of meat which can take 8 or more hours.

Thanks for the medal Anne! You made my day. Really appreciate that at least a couple people out there appreciate what we're building. :-)

Thank you for the medal!! :)

Thank you for the very nice comment on Ma's recipe. I wish I had more of hers to share.
