I love my Solo Stove Bonfire. Recently picked up a shield so when I go car camping I further reduce the chance of sparks flying out to start inadvertent fires.

I had a tree cut down in my back yard by a neighbor and I asked them to chop things to fit my Solo Stove Bonfire. I also have a Milwaukie reciprocating saw I use to trim branches down to size too.

My honing steel was worn smooth, so time to get a new one.

First (non-food) purchase of 2024.

Work got some old computers from a partner company so I snagged a free 16" 2019 MacBook pro. Had the battery, logic board, & track pad replaced for $249.

Apparently the new MacBook Pro's need USB-C chargers so I grabbed this (which can also charge my various other devices).

Sleeve to hold said MacBook Pro.

You probably need a bigger charger. If I recall correctly those Intel ones need a like 100w of charging all to themselves. Something to look at if you haven't gotten it in the mail yet.

Nice score.

Oh okay I'll grab a dedicated one then.

Not a purchase per se as insurance is covering this but a new ResMed AirSense 10. I'm actually excited for the new mask as it's more minimalist and the hose connects to the top of my head, which makes it a little nicer since I'm a belly sleeper.

I had that one it was the best I tried of the lot

Dried out my nasal passages like all the rest but it was comfortable on my face

Did you tweak your CPAP settings and made sure the water reservoir was adequately filled? The only time my nasal passages got dry was when I forgot to top off the reservoir and it ran dry in the middle of the night.

I had that model Anova but then gave it to my sister & her husband as a Christmas gift, as I "upgraded" to a Vesta sous vide system as it was WiFi-compatible.

In retrospect I wish I kept it. I'll probably get the higher end Anova in the future.

Sous vide allows you to do this:

Had this lamb shoulder cooked at 134�F for about 40 hours.

I should note the day before I did smoke it too (hence the nice smoke ring seen). I prefer smoking before sous vide as IMO the smoke flavors seem to be more intense & thoroughly infused through the food.

You have my attention. So are you hitting it for a few hours and pulling out before/during the stall and just letting the SZ take it up to 200 or whatever for however long as it takes? That looks real nice but good god that bark.

More or less. Smoked until I hit an internal temp of 145�F (when the stall usually happens), then put in a sous vide bag with some ancho & guajillo chilis before chilling in the fridge overnight. Saturday morning the lamb went into a 135�F sous vide for 40 hours, so that it was ready Sunday. When it came out of the bag I did a quick sear in a 500�F oven to get a nice crust while making a pan sauce with the drippings, the Malbec we drank with the meal, and some butter.

Fun things to do with sous vide:

Android Apocalypse posted:

I'll contribute to meat contamination derail with some home-made cursed images:

The point of cooking meat like chicken to 160-165�F is that harmful microorganisms are killed in <1 minute. This is pasteurization. The fun thing is that you can theoretically get the same result by cooking at a lower temperature for longer.

Back in August I put some chicken thighs in my sous vide at 135�F and let it go for 2 hours.

Mmmm... perfect medium rare chicken, though I admit the texture is not something I'm used to.

Ended up putting it in a salad.

Since I'm posting in September it's evident that I didn't die from this.

Thread-appropriate content:

Cheap coffee table for :20bux:

off OfferUp. It's got wheels on the base & 2 drawers too. All to replace the cheap Ikea one I damaged by not noticing water was left on it & the top blistered.
