Home Water Pressure

I have recently been on a quest to find the water pressure in my house for a reverse osmosis project I have been working on. This has proven quite difficult as the city doesn’t publish their values and pressure would obviously vary throughout the city based on elevation and not only that vary in the house itself depending on the floor and pressure drop.

For the sake of my own curiosity I got a pressure gauge and measured the water pressure in my basement with no usage in the house (no flow). I got a reading of 90psi but I will be investigating this further as I have a suspicion that water pressure changes over the day and year based on water usage in the city.

Japanese A5 Waygu

I recently had the opportunity to make some Japanese A5 waygu for a celebration. I cooked these on a cast iron plate over a wood fired grill. In total it was 3 ribeye and 2 strips all of which were to die for. Textually the meet was practically falling apart and the flavour was out of the world. A phenomenal experience and recommended for everyone to try once.

Braised Beef Shank with Polenta

A fall/winter classic that warms you up on a cold day and is a perfect dish for this time of the year. No real variations on the recipe a slow braised cut of beef pairs perfectly with polenta and then a light salad to balance it out.
