I had some short ribs defrosted, so, they're braising in beer and prunes; noodles, salad.

Okay, I've had it. My brand new Food Saver just sent out a puff of noxious white smoke and has ceased working. I'm buying a chamber vacuum. Paul, given your interest in sous vide I think you might know of a reliable (yet not obnoxiously expensive) option. Recommendations?

Can you return it and post about it somewhere??? I hate it when that happens.

I called them (I bought it directly from FoodSaver) and told them what happened. I also told them I would not pay to return it. They are sending me a UPS return tag. They were pretty nice about it, but I told them they have a product problem.
The good news? I already had bagged my burgers, so dinner is still on!

My son is moving out, and it's kind of in a remote area, so I got a small one for him. I also got it directly from FoodSaver. The machine itself was half off, and the shipping was half of that!!!

Sublime burgers...yum.
Used Kenji's method for fries, and they were very good as well.
All in all, a great home "fast food" meal.

I make this in the microwave and it the veggies all cook without mushing together. Recipe? I'd like to see that. And where are you getting ground chipotle in Switzerland?

All, Tonight was first meal cooked a home since getting back. Feeling lazy, and we need to make up for rich food while at in-laws. So: Trader Joe's crab cakes and slow-cooked winter greens with onions, plus our neighbor's oatmeal-molasses bread. The last week of food at the in-laws' was more interesting: - Spaghetti with tuna "meatballs" and salad (Tuesday)
- Rosemary-pecorino pizza with sourdough-cornmeal crust (Wednesday)
- Tested The Basque Kitchen: white bean and piquillo gratin, and San Sabastien-style halibut. (blog post later).(Thursday)
- Quesadillas with shrimp and mixed peppers and Cal-Slaw (Sunday)
