What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Bought a 3lb. USDA choice top round roast to experiment with trying it sous vide. My wife seasoned it, I vacuum sealed it. Having a gas range made it possible to control the temp to 140. Cooked it for @2 & 1/2 hours it came out medium with juices intact. 1st. time trying top round. Since it typically doesn't have a lot of fat I added butter pats over the seasoning. Pretty sure the butter helped to tenderize the meat while the vacuum sealing helped infuse the seasoning into the meat.

Go with was raw spinach salad, home made basil flavored potato gnocchi & pumpkin cheese cake ice cream for desert.

Enough left over for some fully packed roast beef sandwiches.
 

Cooking in my Slow cooker is Belly Pork cut into cubes, Carrots , Peas, Potatos and Onion ,
A lot of people love using a slow cooker..I'm not one of them. I don't know if it's because I hate stewed food.. or whether I can taste something odd about meat that's been cooked in the Slow cooker..

I had a ceramic slow cooker, and thought maybe it was that.. so I bought a stainless steel one and it was still the same.. so I donated it..

I think it must just be me, because I don't like stewed food.. :D

HD, I enjoy stews now and then, but I agree that slow cookers make food taste funny. I used mine primarily for pulled pork only but admit it was better in the oven. I gave it away.

It's oven or stove top for me.

Ha ! I'm pleased to hear someone else finds the taste of slow cooked food strange.. (y)
 
Well didn't fancy a big meal, after the pancakes, so it's Midnight meal. Got French Onion Soup with crackers and farmhouse pâté in the cooker , bread box and fridge. With a glass of cider on ice...
 
Here you go dear @Blessed exactly the one I got and enjoyed last night and every other day for iron extras 😃 Depending which brands you get, sometimes the mushrooms are actually delicate Truffle mushrooms. The best is Paris Pâté brand served on miniature Melba type toasts 👍 The ingredients are listed.

Thank you, I don't know if we have something similar here. I don't recall seeing it. Not sure if it would be my cup of tea but you never know until you try.
