We were able to watch the YouTube live stream of the Easter service from our church in Fairbanks. That was a really change to our Sunday routine. The Internet service here at the campground seems to have improved and has been useable for most of the day. The Apple TV is tied to the WiFi within the RV and I’m using a Ubiquity Nano to tie into the campground WiFi at the closed activity center. I’m going to be moving all of the network gear to the front cabinet above the driver. There is a 110VAC outlet tied to the inverter as well as ready access to 12VDC. The 110VAC outlet is for the Ubiquity Nano and the 12VDC is for the Home Assistant Raspberry Pi.
It is 75°F today and we have both air conditioners running. I have been using the induction cooktop more these days as it doesn’t heat up the living area like the propane cooktop. On the menu today is a generic chuck roast in the sous vide for 24 hours at 134°F. The expectation is prime rib type of texture and flavor at the chuck roast price. This is the small sous vide container that I had picked up at the store in Quartzsite. I also have one that is about three times the volume but most of the time it’s used for storage of plastic containers. There have only been a couple of times when the larger volume has been needed.
I just pulled in the awning as the weather changed again. Now it’s windy with gusts to 35mph. It was completely calm an hour ago. Apparently, the one thing you can say about Texas weather is that it’s probably going to change.
BTW, the roast came out wonderful. Finished it in a frying pan on the induction burner, a minute on each side. Then made a gravy with the drippings. As good as a rib roast at a fraction of the price...
I'm going to have to investigate sous vide. Never heard of it except your posts. Oh, and we had serious wind here in SA yesterday too.
ReplyDeleteThe sous vide has been a game changer for preparing some items. Mostly beef and poultry. A son a a friend who was a professional chef had explained the technique and how it has been used for a while in commercial kitchens. The portable stick versions have made it accessible to the masses...
DeleteChurches have been very creative to offer services, by life stream or in old drive in movie centers (which had been declared dead in times of Netflix).
ReplyDeleteOur church has been posting the services as podcasts (audio only) so this was a real stretch for them to do a live broadcast. There have been reports that driving to the drive-in services has been determined to be non-essential and people are getting cited.
