I hope so, Tony.:)

Aussie you did a great job on that dinner.:)

Tyrus, your dinner is gorgeous, so colourful and you even have a smoke ring.

Tony, I know you SV and I have to say this again- this was the best sv chicken and sauce I've had.

Tekobo, I like those meals that keep on giving especially when they are as tasty as this one was. Bruce, those potatoes were nicely creamed and as I mentioned that sauce was to die for can't wait to do a hot chicken sandwich.

Great eats for everyone.:)

This is the first time I have sous vide a whole chicken but it won't be the last. A friend and I decided to cook ourselves a fun dinner. She did the appetizer and the dessert and I did the main course. This is the recipe for the chicken- https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/sous-vide-whole-chicken The trussed chicken goes in the bag with stock, celery, leeks, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, thyme, bay leaves and soy sauce. Here are the veggies ready to go into the bag with the chicken- The whole works goes on for 6 hours at 150F. But we end up with a snow storm and decide it is not safe for my friend to come out. I finish the chicken, cool it and put it in the fridge for overnight. The next day about 2 hours before dinner the bag is put back in the bath at 150F to heat up. We received a good foot of fluffy snow, it was very pretty. Appetizer, toasted bread with blue cheese, slice of pear and prosciutto and a little thyme. Chicken and veggies out of the bath- You have to love sous vide to appreciate that pix.. We removed the skin, dried off the veggies and coated them with olive oil and baked at 450F until they were cooked and a little charred. Reduced the sauce. We didn't take any plated pictures. Dessert, maple cheese cake, rich, rich, rich. Finished dinner off with a specialty coffee, no pix This morning for breakfast it was leftovers for me with purple crack. Then for dinner more leftovers except I cooked carrots. We found we didn't like the roasted veggies but the sauce was killer. We both loved the chicken, it was tender and juicy. I would do this again in a heart beat the chicken and sauce were sooooooo tasty. There was another piece of pie for dinner.

I keep checking and I'll keep watching the mailbox.

Lovely and it had to be tons of fun.[emoji4] I could go for the drink, the tofu, and the scallop dish. LOL.[emoji4]

This is exciting. :):):)

I suspect that you will not likely eat out as much as you used to unless you are going for the enjoyment of the company and not the food.

Tekobo, your brisket looks moist and delicious.

Tyrus, dinner sure looks lovely, I'd devour those scallops first.

Tyrus, dinner is looking delicious. I wish it was mine.

I'm with Tony.

Aussie, those tacos look very tasty, nice and colourful, not to mentions flavour stuffed.

Glad to have you back at the helm, Dennis. Sounds like a great trip, avoiding disasters, meeting up with old friends and I bet your mother was trilled to have you all there for a long visit.

I may not be a fish lover but I loved seeing that cook. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

LOL, your neighbours must think you have lost it.[emoji9] It didn't take long for the addiction to set in. Love the look of your dinner and I can't until I get home and see it on the big screen.[emoji9]

Dinner looks absolutely delicious. [emoji4][emoji7][emoji7]

That looks spool good. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji9]

Wow, those look tasty and you have a great glaze on them and they are a beautiful colour too.

I'd like to be tasting that cook. Yum yum.

Better hope it doesn't detour to Nova Scotia or you'll never see it again.:)

It was supposed to be 30 mins. but I know I went over that time.
