Pan fried grouper cheeks with roasted fennel

Those grill marks are pretty impressive

My wife likes fish above all the rest, so for V-Day I made Cobia in a lemon grass flavored coconut broth with Patagonian scallops residing under the surface

I think what went into the barrel to start with is more important than the voyage . But where a barrel is stored in a rickhouse does make a difference in the final product so location has its merit

In a basic form. Halava is flakey

To appease the sweet tooth, tahini and honey

Bottom browned rice was a common growing up. Love it i remember a good dose of oil in the pot before adding the rice.

Feel better. Soon!

A quick tapa dinner. Had a garlic loaf that was sliced, oiled, seasoned and pan toasted then topped with sliced avocado, sliced seared scallops and topped with peppery greens tossed with olive oil a squeeze of orange and salt . Hard to get color on the scallops with out drying them out. Pushed my buttons

Elsie, frozen is ok but needs to be squeezed of excess water when thawed. Learned that once like you did. The good thing is it can take up more fat, oh I mean flavor

@liamsaunt wow, so colorful. Looks great

Made my first pizza tonight. Used a steel tile on the grill. I didn’t check the steel temp before sliding the pizza on. It had been under 400f before I had to changed out the gas tank. Must have been in excess of 600f when the pie slid on. Carbonized the bottom pretty bad but outside of that (roll eyes) it turned out good. Used Lahey’s no kneed dough recipe.

Chicken sandwich from harvested tenders when breaking down chickens and baked potato while watching the Olympic’s opening ceremonies

Tossed a couple chicken leg quarters on the smoker a little while ago. Seasoned with S&P

As much as I like a nice thick burger med rare, a smash burger with all those crispy bits is a real good thing

I butterflied a chicken breast, pounded it even and seasoned. Pan seared and cut it into 4 medallions and made 2 chicken sandwiches tonight. Oven fries as a side simple yet quite good

@chefmd okra, yum

@liamsaunt great spread. Yum!

Your duck looks fabulous

My Juicy Lucy turned into duxelle and a little gouda stuffed burgers. Sounded more appetizing than a lava river of yellow cheese ozzing out.

One year I corned my own using Rulman's recipe and bought a prepared corned beef which I leach salt from before smoking. Ok they were both made into pastrami but in the end there was not enough difference to make from scratch again

Had a grouper sandwich at a Tampa restaurant before heading to the performing arts theater

Are you doing the whole loin or medallions?

yikes

Neither finger shows much of a visible scar after complete healing. Sometimes it depends on location. Some areas may show residual effects longer. Most scars never vanish but they do lessen with time
