Very successful dinner! The burgers were seasoned and cooked sous vide at 130 F for three hours. I made some bacon, and used the rendered fat to cook down onions and garlic. Then, I cooked some egg yolks confit in truffle scented oil using a sous vide bath at 150 F for 1.5 hours. Finally, I seared the burgers in bacon fat, layered on the bacon and onions, followed by some smoked Gouda, and put them under the broiler. I served the burgers topped with the egg yolks.
In an unexpected but happy twist, I’ve joined the core team at Pioneer Square Labs, a startup studio and venture fund in Seattle. I’ve updated my “now” page with more details.

Time flies: Micro.blog just turned one. It’s clear that Manton Reece and Jean MacDonald have been hard at work. It’s worth reading about the interesting new developments over the past year. Congrats, all!
Fun visit with family at my sister's lovely home in Decatur. Hot dogs, hamburgers, s'mores, and cousins!
