  1. Thanks Smithy,

    It has been almost too hot to bake bread.  But since I was just about out of bread, down to the last small round in the freezer,

    I caved on Thursday and baked a double batch.  Left the second batch in  a little longer for a darker crust.   Unintentionally. :smile:

     Should get us through until next week when it is suppose to cool off a bit.

    Since I was already going to have the oven on, I also baked a blueberry pie.

     

    Thanks BonVivant.   Maybe I will try braising next time.  

     

    Grilled%20Porterhouse%20July%206th%2C%20

     

    Porterhouse steak - 1 3/4 pounds to share three ways.

     

    Potatoes were cooked in cream with garlic and fresh thyme.   Starch from the russetts thickened the sauce.  Added fresh shelled peas at the end with a little parmesan cheese.

  2. BonVivant,   I would have been happier with your lamb dinner.

     

    Couple of dinners from earlier in the week.

     

    I finally found a cut of lamb that I'm not that keen on. Lamb breast/riblets.    I still have a few cuts of lamb from a whole one in the freezer.

  3. Liamsaunt, Oh My!!! it is just after 6:00 am and I want clams.     Great photo.  I'm imagining sopping up all that wonderful broth with that bread.

  5. Shelby, I love that plate.

     

    FauxPas,  lovely presentation.   Looks like summer on a plate.

     

    I ground up a couple of sirloin steaks and made burgers for dinner.

  10. Ann T...So eggs, spinach, mushrooms, artichokes and grapes (or olives?). Whats the dressing?

     

    Gfweb, no grapes, but olives and tomatoes and green onions.  The dressing is mayo based with garlic and tarragon.

     

    You can find the recipe here.

  11. This is my version of a salad from a restaurant in Toronto - Vittorio's Spinach Salad. Vittorio's is/was an Italian restaurant in Toronto dating back to the mid 1970's. Over the years he opened and closed and changed locations a number of times. But the salad was always on the menu at each new restaurant.


    It is a family favourite.

  12. So many amazing looking dinner.   This is the place to come to get inspired.

     

    FauxPas, I keep coming back to look at your Pasta aglio e olio. A favourite here too but mine doesn't look as good as yours.

     

    I had nothing planned for dinner last night........so I stopped on the way home from work and bought what I needed to make an antipasto platter.

     .

  13. So many wonderful meals.

     

    Gfweb,  perfectly cooked steak.  Judging by the normal looking texture, I assume it wasn't sous vide.
