    Dinner at Hirayama Ryokan hotel on Iki Island off the southern coast near Fukuoka. Not in order served but here we go....
    Top left is smoked yellowtail. Fried calamari. Baby calamari. best abaloni I have ever had in a liver sauce...I believe monk fish liver.
    Sashimi of sea bream ( the pic fish) yellowtail, flounder, turbot snail, calamari on separate plate, garden fresh salad grown here onsite, another pic of the baby squid dish with daikon radish on top with brocolini, and a custard with carmel like sauce...similar to creme brulee.
    By far the best meal we've had here in Japan. Served in your room while you wear yukata...bathing clothes basically. Then we went downstairs to the red hot springs called onsen. Private bath to literally cook yourself at 69c !!! (156.2 F)
    All the staff keep asking how we found this island as even most Japanese don't know of it...Monday morning here and off on electric bikes to explore the island..
    Cheers!

    Join me on a Picture Journey to Burned Pizzas...

    Not sure why this happened tonight. I watched the entire cook like a hawk, rotated as usual when needed, and adjusted the flame/heat several times. Yet...kept getting blackened edges here and there.

    Pizza...don't let folks tell you the struggle isn't real :D

    Three pies tonight:

    - White pizza with mushroom, onion and thyme.

    - Veggie with artichoke hearts, olives, mushrooms and onion

    - Pepperoni (with a few olives and mushrooms that leftover after the other two pies)

    I hate to say it, but they look great to me. A little bit bit of char just adds flavor.

    Think brushing edges with olive oil help or hasten burning issue?

    I did go heavy on the olive oil on the white pizza, but didn’t brush the edges. Thinking that maybe that contributed to the burned mushroom pizza, I used none on the last pizza cooked (the pepperoni). I “think” it helped avoid burning that one as much as the others…but I was also watching very closely and moving it frequently.

    I think somehow the oven just cooked hotter or maybe somehow the dough was more prone to burning (my wife mentioned maybe the humidity or something…it was 40F outside and we have been making pizzas is 10-30F all winter).

    I'm in WA and drove down Sunday night. Since Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday, had sushi instead. Last night since not very many options, we ate at Olive Garden. Not bad, but not great either.

    $53 CAD?!? For 16 pieces of chicken. Web says that's about $38 USD. Zoinks!

    From a few days back. Lamb rack from the merry old land of Oz! My new approach is to sear the outside, all over, after the lamb has been marinating all day. I use an electric or gas grill to give me more temperature control. Then I rest it for about 15 min, lightly covered. Slice it up into two-rib portions. Then, I can grill the wife's more to her liking, and then spice up mine and cook them more rare.

    Against all advice, I decided to grill the first two walleye filets that we bought from Costco. Wanted to keep it simple and not have the house smelling fishy. Salt, pepper, smoked paprika, a tab of butter and lemon spices.

    A bit over done, but nothing that couldn't be solved with an extra squirt of lemon (me) or tartar sauce (wife).
