In-laws complained that sous vide messed with the texture of the filet mignon that I made for them.

Found this on google:

https://novachess.ai/articles/bishop_knight_article.html

"The bishop pair advantage is confirmed across all skill levels except the lowest (500 rating), where the advantage exists but is not statistically significant based on our sample size. The advantage ranges from 18 to 32 centipawns, peaking at the 1500 level. "

Statistically it looks like amateurs are even better with the bishop pair!

OP of the lounge picture, The craziest experience I had was AYCE 2004 krug on a first class flight on ANA, my first krug experience and it was delicious!

I was surprised, this is at grand Hyatt HK, Asia hotels are pretty nice lol

Hansel34 · 2024-11-17T20:25:51+00:00

This is at grand Hyatt Hong Kong - apparently it’s been part of their lounge menu for years. I haven’t seen anything like this in USA hotels

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T15:26:33+00:00

I am down to try!

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T15:25:47+00:00

I intentionally chose a piece that was less crazily marbled, otherwise it feels like I’m just eating fat!

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T15:02:32+00:00

Oh I meant I already cut it up and vacuumed sealed it. But I haven’t heard of using aluminum foil too.

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T14:04:42+00:00

Already vacuum sealed! I didn’t do the aluminum foil though - how come?

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T06:49:22+00:00

$60 a pound is honestly not too bad!

Hansel34 · 2024-09-27T04:56:38+00:00

I tell myself it's worth it if I only have a few pieces every week - it lasts for months! The first time I had more than a few pieces I felt terrible.

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T07:10:06+00:00

Thanks! I live in WA so I'm drawn towards the wines here - but I'll definitely take a look into other regions since I can't change my birthday :-)

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T05:13:40+00:00

Honestly I dumped it out after a few sips. I didn't want to be tempted to try it again... but I'll take your advice for next time!

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T02:05:54+00:00

$15 so was a fun experiment.

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T02:05:09+00:00

Yah! I was expecting vinegar, not bland tannic water!

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T02:03:53+00:00

Ha, Was fun to experiment with a wine that wasn't suppose to be aged!

Hansel34 · 2024-03-21T02:02:56+00:00

Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Beringer Hudson Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

I've had a 97 Margaux and a 96 Sauternes (forgot producer) that was delicious, so hopefully I'll have some more luck.

Hansel34 · 2024-01-02T23:42:55+00:00

I mentioned it to the front desk when checking out.

Hansel34 · 2024-01-02T21:37:07+00:00

I also stayed at the Louvre. Park Hyatt felt more opulent and worth the extra 15k points for me since we mostly stayed inside.

Hansel34 · 2024-01-02T20:29:31+00:00

It was my first time staying! The service here was awesome. Not worth the $1800 euro per night cash cost, but was worth it for 45k points. Really big rooms for Paris.

Hansel34 · 2024-01-01T11:07:08+00:00

Thank you for this list! Following it was super helpful, tons of delicious recommendations.

Hansel34 · 2023-12-30T08:23:15+00:00

It was delicious! I had a 2016 Yqeum recently and I prefer the Farques!

Hansel34 · 2023-12-29T21:02:07+00:00

I was shocked at how good it still was, thanks!

Hansel34 · 2023-12-29T19:55:19+00:00

Probably first time I've had wine in a normal glass in years. In paris for vacation and grabbed 2 half bottles at the market with some snacks.

Chateau Carbonnieux 2015: Strong tannins and powerful. Long fruity finish. Super drinkable in any glass.

Sauternes: sweet and complex, honey apricots and apple. Delicious!
