Updated Website Router Music Relay Systems

Had some UPS issues so I updated the router my music relay server, my web server and system that hosts my music which all interconnect to produce this site.

Now it’s time to put together a nice set of music to get my evening workout on to in the pool with some aquatics and then maybe hits some weights or the other way around

Filet Mignon and Garden Vegetables

Quick mix of garden vegetables eggplant, tomatoes, basil, mad hatter peppers, onions with some filet mignon with two different seasonings for each steak. Also made a dip of clarified butter, sea salt, powdered mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce etc cooked on my Traeger Ironwood. Reverse seared filet mignon, first smoke @ 200 on Traeger and then seared on gas grill next to Traeger. Tomatoes were the surprise vegetable stars they were so sweet. Steak was like super tender and tasty with a smoked taste you cannot duplicate.

I had two different seasonings on each steak, one salt pepper and garlic and the other a store bought Santa Maria tri-tip mix seasoning.

Impromptu Ahi Tuna Filet Mignon Mustard Green Delight on Traeger

Went to the store to get some cheeses for a pizza I was going to make tonight and spotted a nice ahi tuna steak and did a pivot for dinner.

I already had filet mignon in the fridge and I just took that out and threw some olive oil and then coated it thickly with Montreal steak rub. I then created a marinade for my ahi tuna. I then pulled some mustard greens from the garden to start once the proteins were close to being done.

I started a reverse sear on the filet mignon steak and put the ahi tuna steak on 3/4 of the way for it to get some smoke before I started the sear. I let the filet mignon get to about 108 fahrenheit and the ahi tuna reached about 92 degrees. I then took then both off the Trager and ramped set the temp to 425 and put them both back on once the temperature climbed to 385. I marinated the filet mignon with butter salt and pepper mix I had melted in the microwave. I hit the ahi tuna with more marinade on both sides. I took the tuna up to 125 and the steak to 135 and then took them off.

During the searing I had started the vegetables putting onions, garlic cloves in the wok and then the greens and some yellow pear tomatoes and cherry tomatoes whole with a touch of basil all from the garden except the garlic and onions.

Ended up being so delicious and tender that when cutting the filet mignon it was as tender as the tuna which was just right. Both had a great unique flavor to go with the vegetables.

Below is the recipe I used for the ahi tuna except of course I did a reverse on .

Seared Ahi Tuna


2 (6 to 8 ounce) ahi tuna steaks (3/4 inch thick)
For the marinade:
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 scallion, thinly sliced (a few slices reserved for garnish)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

I wanted to add that to monitor the temperature I used the internal wired Traeger thermometer for the filet mignon and for the Meater Bluetooth temperature monitor I picked up the past Saturday for monitoring the temperature of my tuna steak.

Medley Garden Dishes

The past few weeks I have been swamped but enjoying many quick dishes with produce from my garden here’s a few down below. The tea is exceptionally good! The salads and quick toppings for tacos and sandwiches never gets old.

I really hate when my garden stops producing for the year because there’s no where to reliably get things like pear tomatoes and the meatiness of the tomatoes you grow in a garden. Swiss chard I have year round. Peppers once they start go well into the winter here in Northern California along with collard greens which get sweet with the cold chill.

2022 Memorial Day Weekends Sounds

Well didn’t feel like getting out on the waterways during a Memorial Day weekend so I’m just going to chill with some tunes in a cleaned house.

I ‘m already into some music manipulation from earlier today to get newer sounds all through the mix more often but then wanted to hear more selected sounds going further back.

So this is what I have as I burn the incense and play artist like: Mary J. Blige, Cypress Hill, Biz Markie, Philthy Rich, Stand Atlantic, Future, Journey and so many more!
