Dinnertime

Got the BBQ ripping hot, the tri-tip is out of the sous vide bag and ready to be seared and then sliced. Got to make the mashed potatoes - trying a trick I read. Instead of boiling them in water and then draining and then adding cream to mash, boil them in half-and-half (cheap at Costco) and add that back to the drained potatoes when mashing. You lose a lot of flavor in the cooking process and this traps it and returns it.
