Steak Puzzle

I have been trying to solve the steak puzzle for several attempts now. That is, how do you cook a good cast iron to oven transfer? The problem so far has been that the recommended time for the oven for a 450 finish, in this article , 4-5 minutes is the recommendation for a medium steak and 2-4 minutes for a rare. Although I did not quite follow the 450, I used 400 F, I followed the temperature lore from here last night, using a meat thermometer instead of time, because I suspect oven temperatures in one oven is not the same as that of another....

Keras Hello WOrld

Here I’m doing one of the Keras hello world micro projects, involving classification of tiny 28x28 wardrobe images. This was really fun. ( Here’s the original home for the python notebook). One really fun part of this was that at the end I hand drew my own clothing samples, paired them down using the python PIL library and threw them against the classifier.
