Anna, your beef is perfectly cooked. What cut of beef did you use? We had a similar meat and potato dinner. Grilled a small prime rib. Just big enough for two. Moe requested fries.

Ashen, is it wrong to want your lamb and salad at 5:45 AM? Looks beautifully seasoned. I think lamb (Greek Style) will be on the menu here this week. I still have some local lamb in the freezer.

Keith, I'm glad you remembered the camera for some of the meal. Everything looks delicious. Beautifully plated. And I love the plate that the tuna is on. I like the idea of mushroom ketchup. And that creme caramel is the perfect finish to a lovely dinner. Paul, Wish I was eating at your house. Was the beef just slowed cooked on your grill or was it smoked? MM, the plated lobster tail is a work of art. Dcarch, that is one big lobster. Ashen, Steve, thank you both for your comments on my meals. Tug, I love the meals that are shared here. And as much as I can appreciate the master pieces that come out of kitchens of MM, Dcarch, and others, it is the meals shared by Ashen, Steve, Bruce, Plantes Vertes, Huiray, Furzzy, Dejah, Keith, Paul, Kim, Anna, and so many others that always has me coming back to eGullet. Those are the meals that I want to eat. So I hope that you will share what you are cooking. I had some stewing beef that I wanted to do something different with. Found a recipe for Carne Colorada which I adapted slight. Put the beef on to cook before leaving for work yesterday morning. Served with rice and homemade corn tortillas.

A friend's husband dropped me off some just picked beets and greens just in time for dinner. Beets were roasted and then added to the sauteed beet greens. Served with fried potatoes and grilled pork tenderloin.

Anna, you make some of the most interesting breakfasts. I'd love to eat at your house. Your liver is perfectly cooked. Here, there is a difference between baby beef liver and calves liver. If I could find calves liver I'd have it for breakfast too. ~Ann

Happy Anniversary Ashen. We also celebrated our anniversary today. Our 34th. Grilled Chicken with a grilled pineapple salsa.

Shar, Here is a link to the recipe.

Thanks Steve. I have a five burner Broil- Mate gas grill.

Gpark, beautiful eggs Benedict. Huiray, your soup would have been perfect for our breakfast. Moe is on soft foods because of some dental surgery. The Biryani was tasty. Here is a link to the recipe. Buttermilk Raspberry Scones.

Okanagan, Thank you. My oven is nothing special. Main range is Whirlpool. And I have a counter top Waring Pro Convection oven that I use a lot, especially in the summer months. The biscuits were baked in this oven. . But also great for high heat roasting. Heats up to 500°F.Must be the convection oven that gets your baked goods so nice and evenly browned.Okanagancook, although both ovens are convection, (the Whirlpool has true convection with the third oven burner) I never use the convection option on either oven. ~Ann

Thanks Rotuts. Nice to have cast iron that has been in the family. Steve, what a beautiful dinner. I might have to try adding dungeness crab to my corn pudding. What a great idea. Our son Matt, is visiting for a couple of days. Last night's dinner cooked on the grill. Halibut for both Moe and I and a chicken breast for Matt the fish hater.

Bruce, Love grilled tuna. Never thought to spice up corn. I'll have to give that a try. Last night's dinner. Chicken breast stuffed with mushroom duxelles - Ready for the Oven. With a Green Peppercorn wine sauce.

Liuzhou, Oooh potatoes cooked in duck fat. YUM!!! Suzilghtning, Your breakfast would be one I would enjoy. I made Moe Blueberry Waffles for breakfast. Local blueberries and maple syrup.

Mike, Thank you. Scubadoo, Perfectly cooked duck breast. Just the way I like it. Thanks Bruce. I would trade you a loaf for a little of your curry. Roast beef dinner with Yorkshire Pudding.

Weird. Multiple posts. I have no idea how that happened. David, I'd be happy too. Looks delicious.

Ashen, Your boned chicken looks delicious. That is one of my husband's favourite meals. I use a bread stuffing with mushrooms and sausage. I learned to bone out a chicken using a slightly different method. Steve, that looks very tasty. Dinner last night was a chicken rice soup with homemade bread.

I think we are just talking about two different types of bread. Some breads are better for sandwiches, like that beautiful loaf Anna posted yesterday. No right or wrong or better than. Just depends on personal preference. Like MJK, I prefer a bread with more texture, stronger crust, open and chewy , rather than the softer texture of a traditional white/sandwich loaf. I don't like sweet bread so I never add sugar. Not unless I'm making a sweet dough for something like cinnamon buns. But I do add salt. Also, the "holey" bread makes great toast. All those holes capture the butter, honey or jam. ~Ann

Anna, that loaf brought a smile to my face too. Beautiful. I made a double batch of dough last Thursday. Used a little to make a pizza and the rest went into the fridge for a four day cold fermentation. Pulled the dough out of the fridge early this morning, before the day started to warm up. Three large baguettes , out of the oven before 10:30 AM.

Robirdstx, thanks for the link. Ashen, that is my kind of dinner. One (or two) cinnamon buns would be perfect with my morning coffee. Wings, TBQ Sauce and local Vancouver Island corn.

Mr. Holloway, Great idea to grill the peameal bacon "roasts" Kim, you have been eating well. Everything looks good. Your Korean Beef really appeals to me, as does your fried chicken and sour cream potatoes and the Ruhlman’s yeast rolls. Bruce, lovely colour combination with the shrimp and green rice. Rarefollingobject, I think I am going to have to get on the beef cheek bandwagon. Huiray, your steam fish is so colourful. I just can just imagine how the green onion, ginger and garlic perfumed the fish. Robirdstx, Everything looks delicious. What a great idea - loaded cauliflower. I have to steal that idea. Keith, beautifully plated. I stopped at the Duncan Farmer's Market on the way to work yesterday and at Cowichan Bay Seafood on my way home from work. Vegetables from the market and handpicked shrimp and fresh halibut for dinner. Shrimp Cocktail Grilled Halibut.

Furzzy, perfectly cooked lamb. I'm imagining how wonderful duck fried potatoes would taste. A few of our meals this past week. Pizza Margherita, baked on a stone on the grill. Grilled Chicken Breast with Chipotle Mayo. Caprese Salad with local heirloom tomatoes, basil and garlic.

Homemade Kaiser Buns Shaped and rising.

Ashen, beautiful burger. Franci, I would love your dinner. I need to to ask one of our local butchers to get me calves liver. Hamburger and fries for dinner. With homemade Kaiser Buns.

Buttermilk Biscuits Scrambled Eggs (farm fresh laid yesterday), local sausage and fried potatoes.
