The Haul: January 2021

Gorgeous, James. What I love so much about the Sous Vide process, is that the product is cooked evenly---exactly to the temperature you desire, and from edge-to-edge. It really is not only simple, but foolproof as well. My son gave me an Anova he hadn't ever used and I thought: what the heck am I going to do with this thing. I have come to love it. Pork Tenderloins, which notoriously cook too quickly and dry out are outstanding. While I don't have a searing torch...yet, I have been "shopping around". Did you sear yours indoors? Wasn't there a lot of smoke? Please explain your technique.
Thanks.

 

Incredible transformation, CONGRATS!

 

I seared them outside on the grill grates. I don't have much of a technique as only my first use. I just made sure to keep the flame moving.
I'm pretty new to sous vide cooking but so far everything I've done has come out perfectly. I'm still experimenting with the different searing methods.

very cool Jim..

 

Thanks Gary. The last laptop I bought was many years ago, a Toshiba 18.4" screen. Eventually going to convert it to a media laptop with Linux, as W7 is no longer supported.

 

Just in a Schick Canadian Type E3 injector. These post war black handle ones are super cool lookers.

 

Today's finds: the 1985 dark cobalt blue Old Spice shave mug; and the 1970s/80s English Leather shave bowl with lid.

 

That English Leather is really good soap. Nice thick lather, good staying power and slick.

 

NOS WWII plastic Tech set finally arrived yesterday after escaping the abyss we know as the USPS.

awesome set Mike,nice score..

 

Those are nice sets and also hold their value quite well since they cross over into military collectibles. Good score.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you. I also found an very interesting read about some of the various makes of razors with the Stock NO. 29-R-1035 designation here...https://m.facebook.com/100thInfantryDivision/posts/1307369195965856
A neat bit of history if you have a moment to check it out.

 

Really interesting read.

 

are any of these still available?

 

I have the same set, it's a good shaver.

 

Besides that my understanding is that the military prefered the bakelite razors for field use because they didn't have any rusting issues.

 

Sorry Gary. I rechecked the seller's listings and don't see any others. I'll PM you if I see another one available.
