What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Not so much to celebrate, but rather to forget that the way I wanted to set up the board didn't work for me, I had to turn everything back, I'll find a way.

Sorry I wish I could help you with that board but I’m so low tech. You’ll get it, I have faith. Need a pic of what you end up doing with all that protein!

I would never bet against you on anything my friend. You WILL absolutely get it figured out. Churrasco tonight?
 
There we go buddy! How did it turn out Kevin?! That is such a delicious meal.
She has made it many times, totally awesome. The au jus can be drank in a glass!
 
Thanks John it is one of my wife’s and I’s favorite Chinese dishes. We could only get it when visiting my father and stepmother in NYC. My senior year and her junior year at OSU my coworker introduced me to a five star Chinese restaurant in Columbus that had it on their menu. Last time we down there for a football game it had closed 3 months earlier. 😪 I need to increase the heat next time, this batch was only mildly spicy.
Kevin, Chinese food and seafood are my two favorite foods. Tacos are up there too. Ive already faced elimination once this week, I don't want to try it again! My favorite Chineese restaurant closed during covid, so I feel your pain. I planted some Chinese 5 color pepper plants that are supposed to have a great flavor and heat for stir fry and the like. The first picture is not mine. The last one is a pic of my plants. I have a pack of seeds left if you are interested!!

Oh my gosh I want to grow those just because they are so pretty! My husband and son would love them since they are spicy. 😆
