Product placement

FoodSaver (device): it is used to vacuum seal meat. Removing it would change how the meat is prepared. H-E-B (supermarket): a watermark on the meat packaging. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

So her husband dropped off enough meat for 50 people, but he also gave me a bag of jalapenos. He said I, he said I like to grill these. Look, your wife trust, your wife trusts me and you should too. I decided the was to was to sous vide all the meat before grilling. Before grilling it. When it comes to food, I'm willing to take, I'm willing to take risks on my own family. Sorry, but I'm not willing. So I will be cutting zero now. So about this birthday is there, is there a bounce house? But I think not. Not cool. Do you know how hard I to maintain this average physique? The cool thing about the whole sous vide approach, the meat's already cooked. So the grilling, so the grilling part is just to get a nice and it turned, and it turned out really great because of course it, because of course it did. And by the sounds of, and by the sounds of it, little man's birthday, little man's birthday party was a great party was a great. Everyone, everyone left full and happy. Although I'm, that dad's, that dad's telling everyone he cooked and I can't even blame him for that.
