Cooking Experiments: Sous Vide Sirloin Steak, Mexican Lasagna Redux

I guess these aren't really very experimental, but...

Those of you following my experiments with sous vide may recall that I praised flank steaks as being really, really tasty. This is still true, but then I discovered that flank steaks are also relatively fatty as far as cuts of beef go. So I decided to try some other cuts of beef, less fatty but still (theoretically) flavorful.

Out for a Walk

I've made the walk to Castro Street, a shopping district about six blocks away, but the last time I went, there weren't sidewalks so that left me walking along the side of the road. This seemed like a bad idea so I decided not to do that again for a while.

The other day, while my brother and I were driving along Central Expressway, he pointed out that there was construction being done on sidewalks at Shoreline. Soon I would be able to make the walk completely on sidewalks and with a much better degree of safety!

I've now made the sidewalks trip twice, so here are some pictures.
