    KY cooks – Sous Vide Pork Chop with Fermented Tofu Marinate

    sous vide fuyu pork chop

    KY cooks – Lamb Chop with Asparagus & Baked Tomato

    Haze, Vinn, and KY

    We bought some lamb chops from Jaya Grocer about a week back and really didn’t know what to do with it at first. A bit of research on the internet tells me that garlic, mustard, pepper and rosemary makes good
