@blue_dolphin, I love all of your breakfasts. One of Moe's breakfast earlier this week. I baked a bone in ham the other day and made Moe a pot of beans with the ham bone. He has had the same thing for breakfast two days in a row and isn't tired of them yet.

Started a Biga Saturday morning and it went into a batch of pizza dough Saturday night. Using the stretch and fold method. Dough was at 65% hydration. Dough went immediately into the fridge for an overnight cold fermentation. Matt took it out of the fridge at 1:00 PM today and I made pizza for dinner. Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Olives. Heated the oven to 950°F at the back of the stone. When the pizza was ready to slide in, I turned the burners down to as low as possible using the hack method. My best attempt yet.

I also made Sausage gravy, but forgot to take a picture.

This makes my mouth water. I don't have elk but I do have some ground pork in the freezer. Need to make this.

I love a beurre blanc sauce. Like the idea of changing up the flavours.

Made the dough for pizza Friday night and left it in the fridge until yesterday. Matt took it out of the fridge around noon so it would be ready to use when I got home around 5:30. Neither Moe or I were very hungry so I made just a small pizza and baked it in the Ooni. Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Olives.

Moe requested a ham and tomato omelette for breakfast. With toasted just out of the oven baguette.

Moe decided after smelling it simmering that he didn't want to wait for dinner and would have his Salisbury Steak for breakfast. Since we had mashed potatoes last night, I cut up some russet potatoes and baked him potato wedges in the oven using the air fry setting.

@Shelby, now that is a meatloaf I would eat. No ketchup in sight. Getting a head start on tonight's dinner. (unless Moe decides he wants it for breakfast) One of "Moe's Diner Specials" Salisbury steak simmering in a mushroom and onion gravy. A dish I have been making Moe for many years. Making enough to freeze for a couple of quick worknight dinners.

Roast beef dinner with our favourite sides. Mashed potatoes, peas and Yorkshire Pudding.

I had a small piece of dough left from the pizza dough batch. Just enough to make a small round. Baked it last night and slice this morning for breakfast. Lots of shine.

Pulled the dough made yesterday for pizza out of the fridge at 12:00 and left it out on the counter to warm up and rise. Wasn't ready to use until almost 4:30. Decided to bake today's pizza in the Ooni. I haven't used the Ooni oven since a couple of months before the accident. Still not that enamoured with the Ooni. But was happy with tonight's Italian Sausage and Mushroom Pizza. I love my crust.

@shain, your buns look amazing. I keep coming back to the one stuffed with cheese. Started two batches of dough yesterday morning before leaving for work. Using the Stretch Fold Autolyze method. One 1000g batch of dough with 2gs of yeast, at 70% hydration. Left out on the counter all day for a slow rise and a second 600g batch at 72% hydration also with 2gs of yeast. This one went into the fridge for a longer cold fermentation and will be used later today to make pizzas. Baked eight baguettes last night. Last one came out of the oven around 9 PM. Sliced this morning. Toast and tomatoes for breakfast.

Baguettes out of the oven just before bed last night. Toast and tomatoes for breakfast this morning.

Copied @liamsaunt, and made Moe a pasta with oven finished halibut. Didn't have cherry tomatoes, so drained a can of plum tomatoes and cut in half. Used Kalamata olives sauted in olive oil with garlic, the tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Halibut seared and then finished in hot oven.

So thanks to @rotuts, mashed potatoes won out. I vacuumed packed two dinners for two and next time we will have noodles.

Yes, beef stroganoff and also goulash, and I do like these meatballs with wide noodles too. But the gravy is wonderful with mashed potatoes.

Thanks @rotuts, mashed potatoes it will be.

Got a head start on tonight's dinner. Swedish Meatballs. Browned and simmering in their gravy. Moe had to do a taste test. Still trying to figure out whether we will have them with mashed potatoes or noodles.

@Margaret Pilgrim, makes my mouth water. Perfectly cooked leg of lamb. @liamsaunt, your pasta is so pretty with all the colours. I need to make your pasta for Moe using some of the halibut I have in the freezer. @Duvel, you make the best pizzas. And with my favourite toppings. @Tropicalsenior, thanks for sharing your cottage cheese recipe. Matt loves cottage cheese. @Kim Shook, Happy Anniversary Kim and Mr. Kim. Last night's dinner. Beef Tenderloin Kebabs. Cooked on the grill.

Honey Garlic Chicken. This was suppose to be last night's dinner. But after I got home from work, Moe said he wasn't hungry so instead I made it for his breakfast and I'm working again today and will take the same for lunch.

Never cared for meatloaf until many years ago when I had it in the Magnolia restaurant in Charlotte SC. Up until then I wouldn't eat any meatloaf because they were always either coated in ketchup, tomato sauce or bbq sauce, none of which appealed to me. Magnolias was a veal based meatloaf served with a gravy and the meatloaf was grilled before serving. I came home from that vacation and recreated their meatloaf. Haven't made it recently. Need to do that soon. I would be happy to try Kim's meatloaf since it is smothered in gravy. No ketchup in sight.

Kim, me too. Can't go all winter without tomatoes. Pulled one of the Belfast Bap buns out of the freezer and made Moe a breakfast sandwich. Bacon and tomato.

Tonight's dinner. We were eating in less than an hour after I walked in the door from work. Steak and Frites with a wine sauce. NY Strip cooked on the grill. Fries double fried and steamed buttered zucchini.

Last night's dinner. Fresh halibut. First of the season.
