Half the fun of cooking is in trying out different methods and seeing what works best. A friend and I were debating the merits of cooking steak using a sous vide. I thought it was a waste of money, he thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread. We're planning on having a cook off once this bloody lockdown is over. If you are looking for a judge I can volunteer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 17, 2021 Author #153 Share Posted August 17, 2021 For me it depends on the type of steak. For lean fillet I like it rare but anything with a bit of marbling I prefer med-rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not anti war, I served 3 years in the British Army - Royal Engineers and 7 years in the Australian Army Reserve - MP's. I hail from a military family. Well at least we got Bin Laden, but he was replaced. Feel sorry for the Afghan people, their armed forces let them down badly, in 10 days, they ran or surrendered. Joe Biden was spot on saying 'Why should we keep Americans there any longer if the Afghan Forces are not prepared to defend their own country.' Our Canadian Daughter was Capt. Nichola Goddard. The first Canadian woman soldier killed in combat. She has been honoured by having a Canadian Coast Guard ship named for her. If the local army won't fight for their own then we don't need to shed any more blood for them. Edited August 17, 2021 by Blackduck59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By The Bay Posted August 17, 2021 #157 Share Posted August 17, 2021 About b....dy time.😡 "A man has been jailed for breaching public health orders by travelling from Sydney to Armidale in northern NSW. Police say the 31-year-old man left his home in Cabramatta on Sunday, and used public transport to travel to the New England region via Newcastle. He was arrested at Armidale Railway Station later that day. He was sentenced to two months in prison after a hearing in the Armidale Local Court on Monday."

All this just to kill one man who wasn't even in Afghanistan🙄. They screwed up Afghanistan once you think America would have learnt something. If you don't know how to rebuild a country after war don't start the war. It is cruel to give people hope then take it from them😔.

That sauce sounds nice. I sometimes make a mushroom sauce, just fresh mushrooms sauteed in butter, a little stock, and finished with a little sour cream. Sometimes I soak some porcini, chopbthem finely to add to the mushrooms and use the soaking liquid instead of stock. Also Herbies Spices have really nice porcini powder which is a lazy way of boosting the flavour. I use a can of Edgells sliced mushrrooms in butter sauce and add plenty of black pepper.

I have eaten these ones for years, for a couple of years these were thin, but now nice and nice butter sauce. I also use the canned button ones but only Edgell, the ones from China not nice. I also use fresh mushies, I am a mushie freak, use them two or three times a week. These buttered ones are my choice, great on steak 🥩 or pork chops or for brekkie on toast.

portcbob Posted August 17, 2021 #164 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I believe that when 80% of parents in Aussie are vaccinated the government will be running out of excuses for not restarting cruising. Let the ships sail with fully vaccinated ships. It's got to start sometime.👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted August 17, 2021 #167 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I would say 100% fully vaccinated... no exception... to go on a cruise ship if they get here....... and for the record Mushrooms.....

Snoopkat Posted August 17, 2021 #168 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Based on the comments I've read on other threads, anything less than 100% fully vaccinated (with the exception of kids) is just asking for trouble. And there must be stringent checks in place to avoid RCI Karen type situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 18, 2021 #169 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think they were referring to 80% of Australians, not 80% of cruise passengers and yes at that stage the gov has said that international travel will be reinstated. So cruising may be allowed back with some restrictions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
