Moe has a lot of favourite meals. I had a top sirloin Sterling Silver roast that I presalted yesterday and was intended for tonight's dinner. I offered Moe a choice. Roast beef, mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding for dinner or roast beef, scrambled eggs and Yorkshire pudding for breakfast. He choose breakfast. I made mini Yorkshire puddings.

@Anna N, I've always grilled year around even the five years we lived in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Just had to keep a path shoveled to the grill.

@blue_dolphin, Outside. On a gas grill. Thanks @rotuts.

Yesterday I spatchcocked Quail and marinated them in olive oil, garlic, fresh oregano, salt, pepper, lemon zest and hot red pepper flakes. I had intended to grill them for dinner last night. Plans changed and I grilled them this morning for Moe's breakfast. Greek style with roasted potatoes and a Greek Salad.

Today's lunch. Baked this morning.

Moe's breakfast. Pork (tenderloin) and baby bok choy stir fry. I'm working today so taking the same thing for lunch.

Working today so got a head start on dinner. Still had half the puff pastry left that I made for the Lobster Newburg. So individual Beef Wellingtons on the menu tonight. Edited to add the finished dish. We were eating in less than an hour after I walked in the house.

Stouffers made Lobster Newburg?

@Franci I wish you could do. That cake looks amazingly good. So light. Need to find a recipe. Happy New Year!!!! Our New Year's Eve dinner. Homemade Puff Pastry and Lobster Newburg.

Thanks @Duvel. @Kim Shook, I love the idea of your cute little Quiches. Made dinner for breakfast again this morning. Had planned to make one of Moe's favourite meals, for dinner but we weren't hungry so I made it this morning. Spatchcocked a large Cornish Game Hen for Italian Rosemary Chicken served with Pasta Aglio E Olio. I mashed the roasted garlic into the drippings and made a sauce with a little chicken broth and juice of half a lemon.

Pizza Night. Still waiting for the table I ordered for the Ooni to arrive so still baking pizza on the grill.

Moe wanted leftover tourtiere for breakfast.

Dough started yesterday morning and baked last night. 1000g batch at 72% with three grams of yeast. Sliced this morning.

We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner - Tourtiere. Moe grew up with Tourtiere served after Midnight Mass. I've been making it for him for almost 47 years, without the Mass.

@Shelby, you can find the recipe on this blog post. https://thibeaultstable.com/2018/12/18/homemade-chile-sauce-for-christmas-eve-tourtiere/ I cheated this year and scaled the recipe down and used two 28oz cans of tomatoes instead of starting with fresh tomatoes. Tasted the same to me and Moe loved it so, I might make it more often for him year around.

I put a pot of old fashion Chile sauce on to simmer early yesterday morning. I remember my grandmother canning this sauce. Moe loves it with his Christmas Eve Tourtiere. This recipe came from a Cooking Forum friend. It is one of those sauces that can be used as a condiment for burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and of course Tourtiere. Not something that I've ever cared for, but then again, there are very few condiments that I like. Moe had it on his scrambled eggs yesterday. And he had more Chile Sauce on the sandwich I made him this morning from leftover pork. Homemade baguette, pork tossed with gravy and served with chile sauce.

Perfection!!!! I needed gravy for our Christmas Eve Tourtiere so I roasted a small pork roast last night with cracklings just for the gravy. We ate the cracklings as an appetizer. Love cracklings.

CSO - Best Buy Canada - $198.98.

Best Buy Canada has the CSO on for $198.98.

Tonight's dinner. Easy dinner. We were eating an hour after I walked in the house from work. Roast pork tenderloin with a mustard gravy.

Platter for two.

@Kim Shook, I used the Steam Broil setting at 500°F . I didn't really time it. But it was about 8 to 10 minutes. It will depend on the size as well. These were not overly big.

Sable fish (Black Cod) and lobster tail. Fish was pan seared and finished in a hot oven and the Lobster tail was cooked on the Steam Broil setting in the CSO.

Baked two small baguettes from the same dough as dinner's pizza. Sliced this morning and made Moe a tuna sandwich for breakfast.

Started two 500g batches of dough on Tuesday. 80% hydration. Both went into the fridge for a cold fermentation. One taken out yesterday afternoon for pizza. Enough dough left to bake two small baguettes. Baked both together on a stone in the CSO. Sliced this morning.
