Happy Memorial Day!
 
I should have taken pictures of dinner last night! Man I am 99% of the time an outdoor griller. Last night I pan seared 2 - 8oz filets and then finished them off in the oven. Started by salting both side well ad added a bit of pepper. Let them sit out for about an hour and the seared them about 4 minutes each side and then took the pan and set them in the preheated oven to finish them off. We had a small salad while the filets rested for about 10 minutes. Very juicy and flavorful!
 
Changed up the rib game today. At the last poker event, someone left a 1/2 bottle of Coke in the fridge. Not being one to waste, I made a Coca-cola - habanero bbq sauce. Sweet and heat. Downside - I made all this for two, so we'll be eating ribs all week... :oops:

We went to Detroit today to check out the Eastern Market. We really enjoyed it. Grabbed lunch while we were there.

Last night I ended up grilling a filet and also a strip. Both thick and great cuts. It was way to much meat for Mrs I and me but we will enjoy the leftovers. We had done loaded mashed potatoes, jalapeño zucchini and an asian salad to compliment tsome great steaks. Enjoyed the quiet dinner in the backyard. I guess this is what empty nesters do.

First go with the Sous-Vide. Ginger-Lime Swordfish. Not only did it cook perfectly, but the ginger-lime was much brighter, thanks to the lack of scorching heat being applied directly to the seasonings.

The final product, topped with a cumin queso, and served with a seasoned tomato and cheese crostini and steamed broccoli

Special thanks to @NiceShot, who's positive review was enough for me to take the plunge.

Tonight I made something simple for my wife and I and had it ready for her when she got home. Home made Soft Beef Tacos with fresh home made Picadillo.

I made a 30 hour chuck roast sous vide for my poker game on Friday. Cooked med rare at 131F. Wish I had taken a picture. It was exquisite.
