THP always talkin' about tri-tip ...

I have a negative connotation of it from buying crappy grocery store version (comes in parts, often), so I thought I'd buy the one from these folks and see if I can't change that ...

Hey, sorry my ignorance, but wtf is that igrill?? huaeshuaeshuaeshuaes
 
It's like a Maverick, but it's based on client apps for smartphones as the UI instead of an receiver device ...
 
It was annoying to take pictures of the Maverick - trying to keep the backlight on and get a focused shot was a real PITA, actually ...
 
My Mav broke on Thanksgiving cook, so I replaced it w/ the iGrill 4 probe unit ... but the 4x probe unit only comes w/ 2x probes ... those are the extra two probes to be able to use all 4x, finally ...
 
Now you know - and knowing is half the battle =)
 
I've had to devise a new system of exploring cooking/diet ... I've had to get a todo list of sorts in place, some GTD-fu or some shit ...
 
Instead of keeping this massive facade of shit in my brain's foreground, and stocking gear and ingredients for when my free time comes, I'm keeping it binary going forward - I'm only going to have the choice between which of the next two things I'm going to explore ... A, or B. I have a text file with a bunch of stuff I've throught of, but now I'm only allowed to spend resources (time or money or otherwise) on the two concepts which are imminent.
 
An example, this weekend - there's only two things I'm allowed to read about, shop for, or spend time on (incl taking and processing photos, for example) - A) Chili/Corn-bread, and B) Mexican Rolls ...
 
I'm not allowed to run a muck on the tubes about all the things, lol ...
 
We got the kitchenware all organized, and now I'm getting the process overhauled and streamlined a bit more so I can make time for exercise and other hobbies - mostly because I miss programming the little IoT devices, really ...

I figure I'll add a pitbarrelcooker.com to my pit eventually, and spend one weekend of the month smoking on all the shit concurrently, and leverage the hell out of vacuum sealing to make most of the meat for a month's worth of cooking in a weekend. That's where sous vide DOES shine, carefully reviving vac-sealed food from the freezer.

That's the only way I'll be able to also grow some poddage, which I also want to do (again) ...
 
And so it begins ...
 
OK ... I could use a little outside help ...

Have some stuff going on ...

and also kind of very hungry FOR LUNCH ...

Yes, really ...

The good news is that my mail order meat arrived frozen solid, the bad news is that my mail order meat is frozen solid, LOL ...

So, that leaves Daffy and Co. ...

What's the easiest thing to make w/ this duck (I've never eaten duck)?

Any input is awesome!
 
The backchannel is the quarter bottle of Hornitas that I smashed during the cook-til-dawn TD sesh, and how close I was to forgoing the ingredient list/instructions and taking the DQ this morning -well afternoon really ...
