Made my pizza tonight. This is the one that our local pizza joint is gonna use for a month as a fundraiser. I really can’t believe how amazing it turned out.

 

Base is olive oil/white bbq sauce, shredded mozzarella, shredded smoked Gouda, caramelized onions, chopped smoked brisket, sundried tomato. Finished hot out of the oven with grated parm. I did make one with candied jalapeños added and would be a great pizza if you like the spice.

Bro, I'm for real mad at you. You reacted to my response and I had to come back here and be 50 shades of jealous all over again.

Simple dinner tonight - coffee rubbed ribeye, grilled carrots, and caesar salad with housemade dressing. Nice 2011 Cali Cab with it

Very, very nice.

 

I’ve not tried to grill carrots before, but it sounds interesting. One of my favorite grilled veggies is okra. 
 

Now I’m thinking about steak….

The grilled carrots actually came from a recipe that involved za'atar and a creamy lime sauce. It's pretty good but I found I liked the taste of the carrots with just the olive oil, salt, pepper without going to the trouble of the sauce. Also, full disclosure, had no potatoes of any type in the house and didn't want to go to the grocery store.

That’s exactly how I do the grilled okra. Olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.

 

And I’m 100% down with avoiding a trip to the grocery store once the move to cook begins. 
 

*ETA- Full disclosure. I had to look up za’atar. In all the years I’ve eaten Mediterranean food, I can’t say that I remember having it. I feel like I’ve been cheated…

Nor have I, but it makes good sense.

Do you have to do anything to treat the okra to avoid the slime, or does the grill take care of that? Is that just a thing when you cook it in a gumbo?

@akillshot, great first meal to share in here! Mmm wine. Did you use anchovies/paste in the dressing?

We had a homemade bolognese over fresh pappardelle (store bought). The bolognese was traditional except I used a beef/pork sausage blend. Kids loved it but I needed a little more oomph. Maybe more white wine and aromatics. Or I might've put too many tomatoes in.

Anchovy paste - Don't use anchovies routinely enough to do otherwise for the dressing.

I really need to get into using anchovy paste more. So many sauces that could use that little kick without tasting too "fishy". I love using fish sauce in dishes that call for other SE Asian ingredients like lemongrass, cilantro, lime, chilis, etc.

Not slimy at all. Very nice texture after grilling. And it retains a great flavor from the grill.

Did a simple oven roasted chicken last night. It was amazing. Followed a very simple recipe from chef Jacques Pepin. 
 

One whole chicken, washed and seasoned inside and out with salt and pepper. Truss chicken.

Melt two tablespoons butter in an oven safe skillet on a stovetop. Lightly brown trussed and seasoned chicken on both wing/leg sides. 
 

Place in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes on each side. To finish, place the chicken on its back and baste with the liquid in the pan every 5-10 minutes until done. 
 

I had a pretty large fryer chicken, and it took close tp and hour and a half total cooking time to reach an internal breast temp is 165.

That looks delicious. What did you season with, other than salt and pepper?

I like it. Have used recently in Caesar dressing (obviously), a tomato sauce, and a soup. Stick a tube in your fridge and it will last a long while.

That’s it. Salt and pepper. 

As the chicken cooked in the pan, it created a nice bit of liquid for basting.

If you are on Facebook, look up Jacques Pépin. The video he posted on October 13 is the one I used…
