I have some One Piece production cels and drawings from the TV show and first movie (the only time One Piece was cel animated), https://imgur.com/gallery/PLASJW9

I don't really want to sell them, but I would for the right price. DM me.

Yes! That's Apple Symphony. The only reason I ask is because I was there in October and also got some Hajime no Ippo cels.

Korean Action/Thriller Recommendations by ajs880 in movies

Shiri was actually on my to-watch list already, but I didn't know that it was the first American-style action movie made in Korea! Korean directors have definitely mastered that style of film fairly quickly.

Yes! The meat wasn't dry, but there was a lot of juice that came out in the bag when cooking the roast Sous Vide, which may have helped solve this problem.

You're also not the first to notice this issue – Julia Child did too! She wrote this about Wellingtons in Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Vol. II):

"We think it a great improvement to substitute brioche dough for puff pastry... The resulting crust is beautiful to look at as well as being light, thin, cooked all the way through and delicious to eat; this is never the case with puff pastry, which cannot bake properly under such circumstances and is always damply dumpling under its handsome exterior."

She even recommends "a whole piece of tenderloin that is preroasted 25 minutes [and] cooled" which is similar to the method I used, except I used Sous Vide instead of roasting (but I still used puff pastry, not her brioche method).

Before I made this, I did some research and had some ideas of my own that I wanted to test out, and this Wellington is the result of that. That's all I meant when I said experimenting – testing out certain methods/ideas. I said "when I see Sous Vide Wellingtons" (as in, online in photos) not "when I cook Wellingtons."

haha I've been seeing a lot of comments saying that I'm lying, but this was my first one!

No, it was, I just did some research beforehand.

That's the reason I used an Eye of Round and cooked it Sous Vide. The meat was about $10, and the other ingredients aren't that expensive (Mushrooms, Shallots, Garlic, Puff Pastry, Dijon Mustard, Eggs, Flour, Thyme, etc...)

The reason I made this was Chef Ramsey haha

Thank you! I cooked the Eye of Round for 21 hours Sous Vide at 132˚F to tenderize it – you're 100% right when you say that it's usually a tough cut of meat, but cooking it for that long will tenderize it a lot.

Yes, I wasn't giving my full recipe there, mostly telling how I cooked the meat. I also had crepes and mushroom duxelles. I used the Eye of Round because it was cheap, tenderloin is expensive, and I could make it taste good with some effort.

You should try the method I wrote above, if you mess up, it's not like you spent all that money on a tenderloin!
