We made a semi-fancy dinner (especially for a Monday).
I made lobster tail with butter and freshly ground coriander. We messed up the ovens and timing a bit so we were waiting on these to finish. I really struggled to get them out of the shell. And one had a really gross "vein" (may have been roe?). I think they needed a bit more time honestly but everyone else seemed to like them.
Meredith made "green" egg clouds. She folded in some cilantro and chili dip. As I mentioned above, we were a bit messed up time wise meaning Meredith had to wait a few minutes. It may have been the waiting or the oil in the dip but they seemed to separate a good bit. Meredith also had trouble with lots of the egg yolks breaking. They still came out very good!
Finally I made roasted canned potatoes. I used four cans of potatoes and used roasted garlic powder, salt, and smoked paprika. The temps were all over the place since I was juggling ovens but either way, they came out very good as usual!

I made sous vide filet mignon for us and Meredith's parents. I bought Prime level at Costco and sous vide cooked it for about 2.5 hours at 137°F. I used salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in the bag.
It came out good but I want to look into better ways to add flavor; especially when searing it. I feel like the flavor is still a bit lacking from a good steakhouse. Certainly not bad though. You could really taste the rosemary!
Even Caroline liked it!
We also made more okra except we roasted it. We followed this guide (no need for a local link) (LOCAL) which says to slice it in half with slice-side up. Then roast for about 35-40 min at 375°F. Well, since I had the oven hot for the steak, we did them for less time at about 475. We liked it in the oven. Easier than the grill!

We made grilled shrimp with mango salsa. Since Meredith's parents are here, I did the full two pounds which worked well!

Meredith made her regular One-Pot Tomato, Bean, and Orzo lunch using Cannelloni beans. It was very good, as usual!

Koefta Burgers except I skipped the coriander and used dried minced (but not powder) onion. They came out really good!
Meredith made her green beans. They needed more salt. And maybe more oil to help get it all to stick.
