i like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?
i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.
I finally bought one a few months ago when there was a good deal on Amazon. I haven't used it yet so maybe this weekend. I did pick up some silicon bags to use with it so I'm all set to go!
I did a McGiver sous vide a few years ago in my slow cooker on warm. The meat was so tender it was almost too tender. I think I will look at recipes at lunch today...inspired...

Interesting tax return. The signature of the preparer was an elder in my old hall. I was wondering if he was still in the thick of it...I can't believe it, almost.
There it is.

You know, this GB, the Bethel reps and their legal team are just so smug in their attitudes about the abuse issues. If they make me sick with their pompous attitudes and how they always try to pin the abuse on the victim, can imagine how any jury/judge/observer would feel!
i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.
I heard last month from a bro that he moved from our last congo to the one I attended when I was a teen, because he was actually in that territory. He said in my old old hall there are 65 cards, active maybe 50. It was a normal 100-120 pubs for years and years. The elderly died off of course, kids grew up and live elsewhere.
Definitely...the numbers are heading down.

WOW!!!!
also does any have any information about a primary school instructor name wilkinson at bethel .
^^^ 😂😂😂
as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.
the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.
the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.
Interesting thread.
From a corporate standpoint, they are having an efficiency review to see what they can cut, and spin to keep the flock believing they are special so they will stick around. They have always adjusted pioneer hours down as the need arose. They have reduced meetings but still count the segments as full meetings so the counts remain the same.
It's not a kinder gentler organization. They are just making changes so they can remain relevant. I had dinner with cantleave last night and we were remarking about the very low publisher counts in the congregations we know. It will be interesting how they will spin the low numbers to still look like growth.
We used to talk, when I was in, about how the "society" has to change. But it is like a huge ship turning...it is slow and takes time. These former friends may be thinking that the ship is finally now turning. Interesting times.
