That's what I was thinking the entire time I was reading the last page of this retarded conversation.
Bingo. This is what the best pulled pork looks like and it doesn't come from a crock pot OR a soo veed machine. Leaving it in there for 48 hours just means you don't know WTF you're doing.

It's a common known fact that all foods should be sous vide. In the future, it will be the only way.

I think what Elurin is saying is that the pulled pork should be prepared i a sous vide.
I hadn't even heard of this shit until this thread where I had to look it up. It seems like a legitimate style of cooking, but one where it's ideally used on something you want to impart a strong marinade into. Pork butts don't fit that description. Something like chicken, sure.

I wish I could smoke meat in a Sous Vide, I wouldn't be a rerolled retard if I could.

Fucking pork hipsters.

Like you can use appropriate punctuation when you're starving. Pffft.

I bought two beef tenderloins yesterday for $6.99/lb. Was right at $75 for both tenderloins.

Cut them up today, and we had enough for filet mignon for 6 people on Mother's Day, + 6 meals for the wife and I. About 24 - 8oz or larger filets for $75. Eating the first batch in about a half hour, I'm hungry.

Good work on the tenderloins, man. Deals like that are awesome when you can find them.

Made a nice chicken breast stuffed with lemon/parsley goat cheese, rice pilaf, and spinach salad tonight. Gorgonzola sauce over the chicken to finish the intense flavours.

Yeah, they were damn tasty too. However, Dirk, you cook like I should eat and it always sounds good.

Actually, I don't cook that unhealthily (that's a word?), but my big problem is lunch. I'm really limited by sodium and carb restrictions, so anything canned or frozen is out. I've got to start cooking for lunch, which sounds nice, but I'm lazy. I have no idea if this is in the right thread.

Boiled chicken with some pepper sprinkled on it (after boiling, of course). It's much better than it sounds.

Here's something that has helped me enjoy my lunches more:

The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking: Jeff Hertzberg, Zo? Fran?ois, Stephen Scott Gross: 9781250018281: Amazon.com: Books

Don't let the title put you off. Bake a fresh loaf just for lunch every other day. Takes minutes. Then, you have fresh bread to enjoy with butter, maybe some cheese you take along, maybe just with peanut butter, whatever. Make awesome bread regularly, enjoy awesome lunch. That's healthy. And delicious.
