The biscuit pizza looks good! How do you make it?
I've recently splurged on a sous-vide cooking contraption. Essentially the concept is to slowly cook by circulating water around vacuum-packed food. The theory is food is only cooked to it's "perfect" temperature, not hot on the inside and cold in the center. By sealing the food, it does not dry out.
I've only tried a few things so far; my favorite is fantastically tender pork chops. Fish is really good as well, as is steak. I tried eggs, and the yolks were perfect but the whites still runny. My brother-in-law made a melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket, which required cooking underwater for 72 hours followed by 3 hours on a grill. (It was this meal that inspired me to copy him!)
The savings side of it, I also bought a vacuum sealing machine, and now we buy meat in bulk from Sams Club. I cut the meat into meal-sized portions, vacuum pack and freeze. When its time to cook, the frozen vacuum pack is placed in the bucket of hot water, two hours later the meat gets a quick sear and dinner is done!

Tonight we are having chipotle chicken and creamy macaroni and cheese while we watch The Wolfman, Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man outside projected onto my shed.

Biscuit Pizza recipe:
Press canned Biscuit dough into a lasagna tray to make the crust.
Cook about 1/2 to 3/4 of the time listed on the can.
Brown 1-2lbs of ground beef and drain.
Add just enough ketchup to lightly coat the meat.
Pour mixture into crust.
Top with sliced American cheese.
Heat at 350 until cheese starts to bubble and brown.
Keep an eye on it. Just takes a few minutes.

Last night we made muffalettas. We'd ordered the bread from New Orleans and it arrived yesterday. Would've taken a picture, but we ate them before I could get the camera out! :thumbsup:

Took my mother out last night - she had quadruple bypass a month ago and got back to her condo on Wednesday - had Lebanese - a sharing platter - I really like Lebanese!

I had to look up "haunch" - I learned something new today! (sounds like what we call "thigh" in the US) The meal sounds wonderful!
