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.

Anne - did you make the chickpea flatbread?- that sounds like something I would enjoyHeidi, yes, the flatbread is homemade. It is quick and simple to make. The recipe is on the blog or you can Print It from Here.

Bruce, what is a "slipper burger"? Steve everything looks good. Love the idea of the Eggplant Croquettes. Also, love your serving dishes. I've only made Tahini sauce once, about 20 years ago and out of necessity. We were living in Northern Ontario and I couldn't find Tahini Sauce in any of the grocery stores, so I made my own. Last night's dinner - Pork Souvlaki with Greek Salad and Chickpea Flatbread.

Steve, sorry, I meant to thank you above.

Rotuts, Pretty simple and a lighter alternative to the gratin that I make with cream. Just saute some thinly sliced onions in olive oil and/or butter until golden, add fresh thyme, and some chicken broth. Add the sliced potatoes,(Russets) salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Pour into a buttered casserole dish sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese and bake until cooked.

Thanks Rotuts, yes a little Parmesan grated on top just before it went into the oven. Some of the broth is absorbed and the rest evaporates. Thanks Baselerd, No one will ever confuse me with a vegetarian.

Franci, Yum!! Rabbit livers. Local restaurant use to have rabbit livers as an appetizer. So good. Grilled Pork Chops with julienned zucchini with tomatoes, garlic and basil and a Potato Gratin (Potatoes are cooked in chicken broth with onions, fresh thyme and a little parmesan cheese.

No raisins in rugelach -- absolutely not! I make the most delicious rugelach and never use raisins.I agree. I hate raisins and currants.

Nicolai, Great photo. Small presalted Prime Rib. Grilled. Just big enough for two.

Ann, I read your earlier posts and realized Moe is your husband's name. OMG, there is a restaurant chain called "Moe's." Every time a customer walks in, they say "welcome to Moe's." Yes, I am excited to take the class; it's in September though. Pquinene, I refer to our home as Moe's Diner. Today's breakfast Egg Biryani.

That's a nice presentation ... are the croutons homemade? Thanks Shel, Yes, homemade croutons.

Potato Leek Soup is a family favourite. I use chicken broth rather than water. I saute garlic in with the potatoes and leeks and I season with fresh thyme. Finished with heavy cream.

Robirdstx, beautiful presentation. Patrick, the green beans are simmered with a little garlic and a couple of strips of bacon, in chicken broth. Dcarch, nice photos. Panaderia, Rich gravy and mashed potatoes. YUM! Bruce, another meal of yours that I would love. Cookalong, what a lovely three course dinner.
