Have friends who do sous vide cooking, but if I’m doing a thick steak, I’m just going to reverse sear it on my grill - slow cook for 30-40 min 225 until it is 120 degrees and then char outside until it is 135. If it is a thinner rib-eye a cast iron is perfect.

And then for things like carnitas I’ll use a dutch over and finish off in over to crisp. Not sure why carnitas would need to be sous vide cooked.

I cooked 20 lbs of pork shoulder without having to worry about doneness, sleeping on the job, while cooking chicken tinga completely separately.

Part of sous vide, for me, is set it and forget it.

Haha. What a horrendous opinion that is.

Hey Jude sucks.

Legitimately the only song I can tolerate. Have no idea why.

I was kinda being a douche on purpose. We've had this conversation before.

The only song I can tolerate is HAL singing "Daisy" as it is unplugged, so I guess we're both weird.

Off topic but I have had a small cold and did a huge cough this morning...threw out my back. Can hardly walk the dogs without wincing in pain. Getting old is tiresome.

I would never go to bat for their musicianship at the beginning (although George and Paul became good ****'s sake they were 19 years old), but they could write songs. Among the best at it ever.

Another cool thing about sous vide is how easy it is to cook something straight from the freezer. I like buying tenderloin roasts and cutting them into individual steaks and freezing them. I'm terrible at planning meals ahead, but I can grab a steak from the freezer and you just need to add a little extra time in the bath and that's it. No remembering to get something out a day or two ahead of time or taking some short cuts to try and thaw it.

Nobody loves a song because of musicianship.

What's the correct number here? 30 is absurd and would start smelling like mildew. One use would obviously be wasteful. I'm a every 5-7 days type which feels normal but I've never thought about it before.

I'm a 3-5 time person I'd guess.

You're asking the wrong question.

Are you using 1 towel, or 2? One for the waist up, and another for your crotch, ass, and feet?

10-15 probably. Maybe more.

Never really understood cleaning a towel every week or less. You use it when you're as clean as you can possibly be.

[MikeIsGood]

I think I'm probably a 3-5 person too. Or if I stop and pause to think about if it's time to throw it in the wash, then I usually throw it in the wash. Because I've lost count and I start to wonder how long I've been using said towel.

Less about what you're doing with the towel IMO - you should be clean - but something damp drying over and over again just gets icky in time, especially considering towels usually dry on a hook and not really stretched out on a line.

[buckboy]

In reality, my 9 year old uses our bathroom all the time and almost invariably takes my towel with her when she's done, so I probably end up with a new towel twice a week.

If it weren't for that it'd be the 10-15 I previously stated.

Ha! Quincy Jones was a big fan, probably.

I have two bath towels, probably wash one of them once a month as I keep forgetting to put them in the wash. I'm a drip dry kindof guy though, don't even dry the hair (male pattern baldness fear, keep them locks in there until they're ready to be vacuumed).

I really only use towels as I feel exposed being naked even when alone in my apartment.

Can't say Neil Peart was a no-playin' mfer.

I spread my "upper towel" out on the door frame. Buys time.
