More Sous Vide and other things

I've been off Facebook for six days and to some extent I filled the gap by browsing Amazon.com, which is worse in several ways.  I made a separate post about the matter, deciding to stay off Amazon unless I have an active need for something only found on Amazon.  I have already ordered practically everything I can realistically imagine that I want or need.  Today I cooked my steaks with sous vide at 126 for about 150 minutes.  I feel that although they were more tender, there was a decrease in taste.  It seems that just a little over an hour is the best timing but that depends on the meat.  I also made another batch of peach ice cream with more taste.  I used the cheap iron I picked up at Deseret Industries on the encaustic picture.  This is a learning experience and I'm glad I decided to try out things on the Payson temple painting before going ahead with the Layla panel.  I also made some changes to the small purse I purchased at DI.  It is strange that the body of the purse seems relatively undamaged although the chain is quite worn out and showing different tones of metal.  It seems a nice, compact item.
