What Are You Eating Right Now?

I love chorizo but so much grease.

When I buy chorizo I also buy extra paper towels.

And toilet paper?

I love chorizo but so much grease.

But sooo good.

If the sweet baby Jeebus ever showed up at my front door, chorizo and eggs with some queso fresco and cilantro is what I'd be making him for breakfast...

Eternal salvation assured thereafter.

Just finished eating 30 minute ribs

How they turn out?

Fantastic. It was only 12 out so I was a pussy and finished them in the oven. Grill would have been much better

Texture was perfect tho?

My bro bought me a vacuum sealer as a follow up so I'll let u know how it ups the game. First and foremost it will help me do a weeks worth of fam dinners and help organize. Imagine having porkchops and chicken u can just let come to room temp and sear off in like 4 minutes for weeknight meals ..

Ever play restaurant kamikaze?

Wifey and I are out for brunch and went to a spot where we know the waitress. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I said to her.

"I can't decide, I want breakfast, order me whatever you want."

And now we wait.

My best friend in college (RIP) did this all of the time. He was a pretty big and really funny guy and would just hand the menu and say “surprise me”. He would eat, and enjoy, almost any food.

Make sure you use the og chorizo with pituitary gland in it.

Food saver is a game changer. Love mine.

I think it was @number51 that got me to actually go get one. Great decision.

You certainly cannot be a picky eater if you play this game.

Oh yeah, it was dank. I'm hooked. What should I do next? Probably for the bears game on Sunday. I'm thinking of doing Burgs

He had a link for one didn't he? I should get one. Ever put lettuce or fresh veggies in one?

I haven't done fresh veggies, just meat, Chile, and stew...

Yes, his recommendation if I remember correctly was to just get a basic food saver brand.

I think I got the 5600 or something like that. Works perfectly, and bought a box of like six rolls of bags at Costco.

Did all of my green chile this year in the saver. 70 pounds in the freezer.

why do you need that much green chile

Why wouldn't I?


Seriously though, I have some buddies that love Chile and don't live locally, so I always take them some when I visit.

So I usually take some to Chicago, Western Illinois, San Diego, and Washington State every year.

The rest is for consumption. Whether on my morning eggs, a cheeseburger, a stew, in burritos, making green chile stew.

This year I'm going to make a smoked pork green chile where I smoke both the pork and the chile. To put it bluntly, I put that chit on everything.

Vacuum sealer converts, I should be getting a commission on these things.

Lettuce doesn't work great, too fragile it comes out smashed and gross. Corn on or off the cob, green beans, zucchini, onions, carrots, all good. In summer I bought a giant bag of Vidalia onions from Costco, I love them, burgers, salads, my balsamic roast garlic cucumber onion salad is kinds famous. It was getting to the point that the onions were about to go bad, so I caramelized the last 4, sealed them, and put them in the freezer. Sealed frozen reheated Vidalia are > than just cooked regular onions.

Somebody on here was talking about buying a bunch of corn at harvest time, sealing it and freezing it. This year I tried it, it's great, it's gone already, but sealed frozen farmers market corn is >>> than store bought, or frozen.

This is the one I own, bottom of the line.

The higher priced models have features I don't really care about. I know some of them let you adjust the level of vacuum pull, so I guess you could dial it back and seal lettuce and other fragile stuff.

I've done the corn in just zip locks, works well and is very tasty. That cucumber onion salad sounds really good.
