The Tr-Tip was vacuum packed in a marinade and 3"(?) thick. I tried doing sous vide ribeye a few years ago....meh
Lots of yummy ^^ Remind me not to catch-up in this thread on an empty stomach! Speaking of catching up… File this under my wife is from Poland and a bit weird Beet gnocchi on a bed of spinach with fried sage leaves. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Least tasty risotto I’ve ever made or tasted. (I think under-seasoned throughout and didn’t cook the mushrooms enough) Anyways, here’s a very disappointing Mushroom and Spinach Risotto: Image Unavailable, Please Login ha, now that I see the picture, I realized it doesn’t even look yummy. Win some, lose some, I guess.
Winning here with Pizzas though! Had the ooni for about a year now and I gotta say we’ve gone from “never made a pizza” to “pretty darn good at pizza”. Three last night; - Truffled mushroom and onion with fresh oregano - Pepperoni onion and olive with fresh basil - Veggie with artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, mushroom, feta cheese and fresh basil All yummy!

Wife made traditional potato pancakes. I added apple sauce and sour cream (which apparently is not traditional in Poland - at least not with her family). They were yummy! Image Unavailable, Please Login
How was the service? One near us closed down and the one we loved in SD was a total cluster flop the last time we went...T
Burger and Elote did a 1/2 lb smash burger with a liberal amount of olive oil on the griddle and then let it cook for a good long while, and it ended up with a literally crispy crust that crunched when you bit it. First time I’ve ever gotten that! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tri tip in the oven brisket style. Came out fantastic. It was an already seasoned HEB tri. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tell us about the elotes. Make that yourself? Image Unavailable, Please Login With the Huy Fong shortage, I've started making my own! [emoji2] Started simple, sambal oelek. A tad soupier than I wanted. Next time a tad less vinegar. I also added a clove of garlic to give it a bit more aroma and bite. https://www.seriouseats.com/sambal-oelek-recipe Used Fresno chilies. Muy picante. So, I put in a Mediterraneo pepper to cut the heat. Then after sitting overnight, maybe the vinegar cut the heat from the capsaicin?!? So, I mixed in a Thai chili. Now back to [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91] T
yes...had some corn that needed to get used and was a bit tired of grilled with truffle salt because we do that a lot in the summer. We also have a chunk of Cotija cheese that is not getting used up. And my wife has guacamole fixings laying around. So the idea occurred to me. Its super easy. I boiled the corn because I was too lazy to go outside and grill just that. Sliced off the cobb, toss in a bowl with: Lime Juice Ancho chili powder Salt Black pepper Sour cream Grated cotija cheese Diced red onion Diced cilantro We have made it before, and I used Mayo those times. Frankly, I preferred my prior efforts. In part that's because mayo rather than sour cream seems to work better (mexican crema would have been okay too), but also because (brace yourselves) there is such a thing as "too much cheese". I know, who knew? I put too much cotija because I'm on a mission to finish that hunk up (ideas welcome).
Soup Making Photo Story (apologies in advance)... Made our first-ever attempt a Tomato Soup. (we are having a bit of an early rainy/cold fall today and we have a giant box of tomatoes that we got from a farmer last week that have got to be used up...) Used about 10 tomatoes, half an onion, two cloves of garlic, a giant bushel of fresh herbs from the garden (basil, thyme, oregano), and some salt and black pepper. That's it for ingredients - no water, no stock, no cream. Boiled it for an hour, then subjected it to the immersion blender, then simmered down by half. (the change in flavor was remarkable between pre- and post- cooking down by half. The concentration transformed the soup from "meh" to "wow". To go with it, my wife baked some sort of "garlic herb" bread roulade she found online - it was absurdly yummy. Gotta say, this is unquestionably the best tomato soup I've ever had. And sorta a no-brainer to make. Good ingredients - fresh tomatoes and herbs - tell the tale.

Too much cheese?!? [emoji848] That's a sentence that I didn't think I would see on F-chat! Cotija uses - make a huge batch of dip with it and some fire roasted Hatch chilies, then invite friends and neighbors over to watch the football games. T
Had a get together at the house. Appetizers below. Also served Kalbi (Korean marinated short ribs) and gochuhang-marinated pork belly from the grill. No photos of those though. Why? Because when I came in from the grill, all of it was gone!!!! Items from our garden included: fresh basil, rosemary, Korean peppers, jalapeno, Korean sesame leaves (perilla), Vietnamese purple perilla, scallions, red peppers. I am going to miss the garden very much when winter comes . Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Got a hankering for hot dogs for some reason. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Fixed it up with a sprinkle of cheese and some pickled peppers. Image Unavailable, Please Login Grilled lamb chops. T
We did dogs the other night. It got late on us and went for an easy dinner on the gasser. Added the leftover dogs to an omelet this morning. Good stuff! We’re starting to clean out the fridge.
Wienie omelets! [emoji2] I had a good run of clearing out the fridge and freezer for a couple of weeks, but the wife then did a Costco and a Kroger run. T

Dang! I hope you tipped generously! [emoji2] Image Unavailable, Please Login Homemade shrimp ramen. Noodles from a packet, fortified with some leftover Thai rice noodles. Homemade chili garlic sauce and fresh jalapeños for color and flavor. T
