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.

I made Sous Vide BBQ Pulled Pork. I made a double (triple, quadruple?) portion with the intent to freeze it.
I did all of the normal stuff again just using salt, pepper, garlic powder, and coriander in the rub.
The other big note is that I realized that unlike brisket, you don't want such a thick crust so I only grilled it for about 1.5 hours (plus another half hour or so at a lower temp to keep warm...and then another half our in the oven after being shredded)
This made it more moist (though less healthy I would surmise) and very tasty!
I froze a little bit over three pounds
Meredith also made coleslaw
I did trim off some fat though I didn't seem not how much. And it wasn't very much as there weren't big chunks. And assuming very little was lost in the bag, the difference between the package (includes plastic) and the bags afterwards (includes 4 ziploc bags) is very little

We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for Fourth of July. We also had Tony and Kacie over while staying outside and with careful distancing. They brought taco stew.
Not much to say about the burgers but we didn't have buns so I made some!
I used the Brioche Bun recipe from The Perfect Egg
I followed it pretty closely. My major notes were that I used the packet yeast and the food processor. Actually, I really struggled to get it to come together and it even jammed the processor. I ended up taking it all out, kneading it by hand (with a bit more flour) and then letting the processor knead it. I think in the future, that is the way to go: bring it together by hand, let the food processor really knead it, and then clean it up by hand.
The rolls were pretty good. Maybe a tad dry. And the crust was a bit much for a burger bun. But it was fun getting to make it. And I had no idea brioche had so much butter! You can see the structure in the second photo below.
We also had grilled okra (not pictured)

Meredith made egg clouds using the (now noted) addition of folding in cheese and chives.
We also had bacon, toast, and leftover tomato chutney from last time.
As always, they were really good! We should make these more often

We had vegan ceviche and pickle tacos (with turkey).
For the ceviche, Meredith used some leftover cilantro sauce instead of cilantro. I liked the added flavor but I missed the actual cilantro. I think next time, we'll do both

Meredith made a double batch of Puy Lentil Stew for us and her family. As usual, it came out really good!
