Lovely day today. Had the Vette out, and brauts on the grill tonight.
 
Let us know how they turn out!

Seasoned with a dry rub and wrapped the steaks in bacon....vacuumed sealed them with marinade for 24 hours.
Sous Vide the steaks wrapped in bacon at 125F for 2 hours.
Removed the steaks from bags, removed the bacon and seared each side for 1 minute in 30 second intervals at 450F.

Steaks were delicious but the bacon didn't do anything....it didn't have any hint of bacon.

Next time, I will just stick with the dry rub and seasoning.

The idea of the bacon on filet mignon is to keep fat in/against the lean sirloin as you cook. I think the sou vide defeats the purpose... did the bacon render at all?
 
Had a rather nice day myself... Got up, hit the gym. After 70 minutes of mixed cardio (elliptical and treadmill), did 30 minutes of weights... Fun little routine involving using the same 100 lb dumb bells for DB bench, then dropping one and doing goblet squats off the bench with the 100 lb DB, then rotating around and doing DB rows, then some abs (lower body Russian Twist today; it changes.) 2 warm up round at 70 and 85 lbs, then 3 rounds with the real weights. Then my son and I had a nice Dairy Queen lunch. Cub Scout meeting working on knife safety that went great -- and got to see my Cub Scout who's fighting leukemia learn knife safety, then play with my son afterwards. Hamburgers (home made) for dinner... root beer float for dessert... then eventually put my son down for the night reading A Wind At the Door (the 2nd book in A Wrinkle In Time).

Yeah....found that out....and no the bacon did not

Steaks were still delicious. The Sous Vide makes it so easy.
 
Easter just is not the same now that the kids are older..... no hiding eggs...no easter baskets.... just another Sunday....not as much fun.....
We don't have kids of our own, but I have to agree - now that all the nieces and nephews except one are late teens or older, the family Easter gathering isn't the same.
 
Actually I interpret that as NASA does agree...if it was worth something they would not have risked taking it to the moon..... see.... I'm right....bacon is worthless.....and no one can prove me wrong.... because I am delusional and stubborn about it...
You've been told that you can be cured... preferably with apple smoke.

My son was quite disappointed when we got home from church, and there were no eggs to find. Seems the Easter bunny doesn't hide eggs for 9 year olds. (And was tired last night, and didn't want to try to remember where she hid them.)

I hope you are having Hasenpfeffer tomorrow...
That's just mean!

You just have to hide the plastic ones with money in them....and they become kids again. ;)


It being April Fools day....we told the nieces and nephews we hid eggs in the yard.......we didn't.

Let us be logical about this. NASA would not have put anything on that spacecraft that wasn't essential to the survival of the astronauts. If bacon was there, it had to have been deemed essential to the survival. Since astronauts are already very physically fit people, and even they needed bacon to survive, what does this tell us about us - mere mortals? That we need even more bacon, for we are so much weaker than astronauts.
