Most of the "standard" picture formats work - jpg, jpeg, bmp, png.

Wilbur, you're starting to sound like "The Pusher."

I just wish they didn't take so long. I was major league hungry by the time they finished this morning!

Had a craving this morning for a late breakfast to use up some of the holiday leftovers of the NYE prime rib and Christmas duck. What better accompaniment than a couple of perfectly poached eggs done SV. MacKenzie and I have both raved about eggs being one of our favorite SV cooks. So for those of you that got an Anova from Santa, here's the skinny - 142F bath for 45 minutes for PERFECT poached eggs. Just drop them into the bath in the shell. They slide right out when they are done; just crack open the egg like it was raw. Of course there's pictures! Plated. Money Shot. Trust me, it was every bit as tasty as it looks!!

Nice job! Next time you fly solo! And, start hinting to that BIL that it might be time for an upgrade!!

Both the marinade and "dipping goo" are available on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJ674TE/ref=s9_wsim_gw_g325_i2_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=18AR4DK1A7VX5AS2FY52&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

Some of us are in the Kickstarter for the wireless meat thermometer (Meater). It has rotisserie cook written all over it. Now, we just have to wait and see if they actually get built and delivered? That's the interesting part of Kickstarters. Most make it (usually significantly behind the original schedule), but some don't.

Awesome looking cake, Susan! Looks seriously tasty, too!!

Corned beef would be closer (depends on what spices he put in the brine), pastrami has an exterior coating of black pepper and toasted coriander seeds.

That's a question for Dennis. Call him.

Yeah, that's the one thing about using the pan drippings for gravy, it has a LOT of smoky flavor.

To quote Bullwinkle, "Nothing up my sleeve. Presto!"

Thanks, Rak! Grilled oysters on the half shell, with this insane garlic butter sauce. Drago's is the seafood restaurant in Metarie, Louisiana that is famous for them. I normally can't get oysters in the shell here, but the local COOP had them for NYE. As soon as I saw their weekly email ad, I knew what I had to do! I had the foresight to only get 4 oysters/person, because they are so addictive, you fill up on them and would blow off the rest of the dinner!

Crazy stuffed pepper idea, Charles! I wouldn't be much of a fan either, and not just from the lack of meat; while I love hot peppers, green bell peppers and I don't see eye-to-eye. They give me crazy heartburn!
-
Doc, did you have the dipping sauce with it? It's a "hand in glove" kinda thing. In addition to the overnight marinade in the zipbag, I also injected the bird with it. Try that next time to amp up the flavor.

$$ - Wow, but worth every penny!!

Thanks all! It was one of my better efforts to say the least. But, I couldn't have done it without you guys pioneering the way with your Christmas roasts!!! Hats Off to my KK family! PRip, it took all my inner restraint to not go all caveman on that hunk of meat!!

For NYE dinner, it was a nice 2 bone prime rib from Trader Joe's. Frenched the bones, as I was inspired by ckreef! Actually, it's really easy to do. Made up a wet rub of toasted coriander seed, celery seed, black peppercorns, and mild paprika. Spices got pulverized in the mortar and pestle, with fresh garlic, salt, bay leaf and some olive oil. Mixed with Dijon mustard, fresh ground dark roast coffee, and slathered on the roast. Wrapped in plastic wrap and rested overnight in the fridge. While waiting for the grill to heat up (250F, indirect, with post oak, pecan and apple wood in the smoker pot, using the Guru), I chopped some fresh rosemary and thyme and sprinkled on the roast. Bones wrapped in foil and onto the KK. Ready for searing, at 120F IT. Reverse seared on the sear grate @ 450F dome. About 30 seconds on each side. Finished well before I was ready, so wrapped and into the cooler for 2 1/2 hours. Sliced. Almost no gray ring in sight! If you didn't know better, you'd swear this was pre-cooked Sous Vide to get this even color. Seriously proud of myself for this one!!! Plated. Sides were Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes, Creamed Spinach, Side Salad, some horseradish on the side, and Piper Sonoma Champagne. (This side bit is for Robert and Poochie - appetizer was Drago style roasted oysters on the KK, with sour dough bread. Sorry, no pics, but Day-yam, they were good!!) Money shot!! Happy New Year, Everyone!! Best Wishes for 2016!!

Did a nice 2 bone rib roast tonight for NYE dinner. Was done 250F, indirect, with post oak, pecan and apple wood. Cooked to an IT of 120F, then reverse seared on the sear grate at 475F dome. Wrapped in foil, toweled, and into the cooler for a couple of hours (cooked faster than I had planned - was done in 2 1/2 hours). See Cooking Pics thread for photos and details.

Thanks, MacKenzie! I was just following in the footsteps of the real pioneers! Never done corn flakes, but have tried instant potato flakes and crushed pork rinds. All crazy good! On my "to try" list is crushed Ritz crackers.

Serious street tacos, Charles!! Eat that any day!!

Crazy, Bosco!! Sometimes yah just gotta roll with it!!!

Happy New Year, KK'ers!! Hope you all have many successful cooking adventures in 2016!!
