Roast Top Sirloin. Tuesday night`s dinner.

Breakfast. Recipe based on the Vegetable Soup with Meatballs from the cook book, Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking, with some minor adjustments. So good. Moe described it as delicate and perfumed.

Moe's breakfast (I'm taking to work for lunch). Beef Black Bean and Black Pepper stir fry. Thinly sliced a thick NY strip steak that I had planned to grill last night for dinner and didn't. Instead of using the wok, I used this big round cast iron griddle pan that covers two burners on the stove. I forgot about this pan, probably because it is so big and heavy. I like it better than my Wok. Seared the beef, removed and then added the vegetables, onions, peppers, red and green, and thai chili peppers, fresh garlic, julienned ginger. Fin

Split one of the baguettes I baked early this morning and made Moe a toasted bacon and tomato sandwich.

Fed my two starters last night before going to bed. Poor babies had been neglected. Hadn't fed them since the first week of November. But they are very forgiving. They had almost doubled in 7 hours. I'll feed them both again tonight before using some of the discard in another batch of dough. I also made two 500g flour batches of dough with just the remnants from the container that I fed the starters in, along with 1g each of yeast at 72% hydration. Matt is going to make pizza with one of the batches and the other batch I baked this morning.

@blue_dolphinthank you for the link to the recipe. Will definitely be making these. Reminds me of the scones we had in Scotland.

I really need to try your scones. Breakfast is served. Warm biscuits and farm fresh hard boiled eggs (steamed).

Moe had mentioned that we hadn't had clams in a while. So after the last baguette came out of the oven this afternoon, we headed over to the fish counter at Thrifty's and picked up clams. Love when the clams are little. Served with pasta and bread for sopping up the sauce.

@jimb0No, but I rubbed it with butter right out of the oven to keep a soft crust.

Love the size of your rolls and the shine on the crust. @AAQuesada great crust and crumb. First bake for 2021. A couple of Home-Style White loaves. Reminds me of the bread my grandmother use to bake. Matt loves this bread for sandwiches and French toast. Moe was hungry and wanted a couple of slices while still warm. I also baked 10 baguettes. Dough was started very early this morning.

We started the morning off at 3:00 AM with cappuccinos and warm red currant scones with brown butter glaze Moe requested hot chicken sandwiches and homemade fries for a late breakfast when I told him I still had the chicken breasts to cook that I didn't cook last night.

Top Sirloin Roast two ways. Yesterday morning I roasted a little Sterling Silver roast and served it rare. Last night I put the left over roast in the Breville PC along with the leftover au jus . This morning Moe had a sandwich on homemade baguette, of melt in the mouth tender "pot roast".

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.
