It was properly stored, except for two post-flood periods, totaling about 3 years, when it stood upright in a box in either a conditioned storage facility or a friend's house.

Bought a beef tenderloin at Costco today that I want to sous vide and then sear for dinner tomorrow. Should I sous vide whole, or slice and then sous vide the individual filets? If sous vide whole, should I then sear whole and then slice, or slice and sear the filets as I would any other flat steak?

Partition of Jointly Owned Ranch Property

If you cannot reach agreement, a partition lawsuit will be governed by Property Code Chapter 23A, the Uniform Partition of Heirs' Property Act. -

Even in Collie Station, Trump will not win young people by 10 points or more. -
2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Friday lunch, I was eating a plate of enchiladas at the Molina's bar trying hard to ignore a group of MAGA debating who would replace Biden if he stepped down, when I foolishly interjected with my view that the democrats had no option other than Harris. My theory was that it is impossible for any democrat to win without large turnout from Black women and that throwing Harris under the bus would alienate black women. Their immediate response was that Harris is not black. I recognized my foolishness at attempting to have an intelligent conversation with them and returned to my enchiladas, which slammed. -

Stealing this! -
I get the frustration, but we are only on day 3 of a 2.5 million without power event. According to Harris County Flood Control District, after Ike in 2008, “2.2 million CenterPoint customers without power; 75% of power restored by day 10”. We were without even longer - 14 days. CenterPoint is no doubt less than perfect, but I think people have unrealistic expectations

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum was terrific. Three large hangers filled with restored airplanes, tanks, and related military equipment and armaments. The planes in particular are fully restored and operational. They make a point of identifying the handful that are the only known remaining of its kind - we don’t fly this one anymore, because we can’t risk losing it.

Trip was terrific! We spent 2.5 days in Seattle (Pike's Place Market, Gates Foundation, Kerry Park, Chihuly Gardens, Space Needle, Museum of Pop Culture, Boeing factory tour, and The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum), before heading to the Olympic Peninsula and an overnight to Victoria, BC. We spent the arrival afternoon and the next morning hiking at Lake Quinault, and the second afternoon at Ruby and Kalaloch beaches. We blew off Hoh due to time and distance, and with encouragement from the Park Rangers, who assured we could get the same rain forest experience at Lake Quinault as at Hoh, only with less hours in the car, no wait to enter (limited parking access at Hoh), and fewer people on the trail. The next morning, we headed for Port Angeles, with stops at Sol Duc Falls and Lake Crescent (Spruce RR, Devil's Punchbowl trail). The full day based out of Port Angeles, we hiked Hurricane Hill in the morning and relaxed in Sequim in the afternoon, including visiting a couple of lavender farms, where the lavender was just beginning to bloom, but which was still worthwhile and provided shopping opportunities for the womenfolk. Salty Girls Oyster Bar in Sequim is highly recommended! The next morning, we took the ferry to Victoria, BC for one night. That afternoon, we went on a whale watching expedition. The next morning, we went to Butchart Gardens, and wandered around in the afternoon (more shopping), before catching the evening ferry back to Port Angeles. The final day on the Peninsula, we explored tide pools at Salt Creek Recreation Area in the morning, returned to Salty Girls in Sequim for lunch, and stopped for a couple of hours in Port Townsend (more shopping....) Finally, we spend 1.5 days hanging with family in Seattle, before returning home. All in all, a great trip. Photos to follow in separate posts.

Punchline: I bought a 10 piece set of Hestan Nanobond in mid-May. So far, I am very pleased! Backstory: Not long after my January post, I called Hestan and spoke at length with their "cookware concierge." He was very helpful, without pushing me to buy anything. I told him of my handle pickiness and my interest in the Williams Sonoma ("WS") branded Thermo-Clad cookware, made by Hestan, and asked about its quality compared to the Hestan branded Probond cookware. He said that they were essentially the same, with a handful of design elements specified by WS, including the more comfortable rounded handle. He said that Hestan designed their handles to have a more comfortable grip than All Clad, while still providing grip security. He suggested that I return to WS, find an oven mitt or hand towel, and handle the various pans again as I would if it was coming out of a hot oven. As he had suggested, with just a bit of torque, the WS branded pans, with the rounded handles, just spun around in my hand - no grip security whatsoever. The Hestan (and All Clad) pans were fully secure. I called back to chat some more and he told me that, if I wanted the Hestan and was not in a hurry, to hold off a couple of months and it would be 20% off for Mother's Day.
