@rotuts M of E is pretty popular down here. WaWa,  Rolling Rock (which nobody not in Jr High drinks) and Yeungling (which we all drink) mentions go a long way.

THANK YOU. I recently met someone who, as a middle aged adult claims Rolling Rock to be their favorite beer. I’d rather drink bud lite. RR was the first beer I ever tried so it’s shocking I actually enjoy beer. 
  I probably wouldn’t even use RR to cook with. I do love Yeungling though.

A major (the major?) strength of RR is that it comes in half-sized "pony cans" which stay cold just long enough for a half inning in the outfield.

Never leave the bench without one.

A last minute celebration was called for, so dug out my old Emergency (same day) pizza recipe (from pre-baker's percent). My current dough uses 572 grams flour (mix of semolina and bread flour) for TWO dough balls. The old recipe on which it was based used 421 grams flour for ONE dough ball.

 

The dough was soft and pillowy. Brushed with olive oil, granulated garlic, shredded Fontina, sliced/shaved garlic scapes, pineapple (slightly dehydrated in APO), red bell pepper, chopped basil, Mozzarella, Parmesan. Chopped jalapeno on the side.

 

I cooked it longer because the dough wasn't darkening, which made the crusts quite dry. As you see from crumb, the centre didn't get sufficiently cooked.

 

Thought it was going to be great. It wasn't. My friends, however, have called for one of my regular pizzas very soon, so they can compare. 🤣 🤣

Moe loves scallops. I've never been a fan.
Walcan Seafood, the company that I have been buying all the fish and prawns from  that I have
been cooking recently, had Hokkaido Scallops available. I ordered just one box along with some LingCod and Black Cod (Sable fish) and it was delivered first thing this morning. These scallops are sashimi grade.
I took 8 out of the box to defrost for dinner. Found a recipe for Lemon Butter Capellini with Scallops on line that sounded good so that is what I made. I used spaghettini rather than capellini.

Moe loved dinner. Said they were the best scallops he has eaten. So, I ordered four more boxes.
Will be nice to have them in the freezer for a quick dinner. I've promised to make him Coquilles St. Jacques one of these days.

Polenta, chanterelles, U8 scallop.

Beautiful scallop. Not a polenta person but it sounds like a good taste combo. Your dark chanterelles intrigue me. How prepped?

I've been jonesing for ravioli (for some reason), and since I don't really make fresh pasta (for some reason), my trip to Formaggio Essex yesterday was quite successful, as they started carrying a very good product...

 

IMG_4255.thumb.jpeg.9d412a87ff88938bbd0e058cf758f428.jpeg

 

Wild mushroom and ricotta ravioli, with a butter/olive oil/parmesan cream sauce.  A side of sautéed corn off the cob, which was quite sweet.

 

The ravioli is made by an NYC institution; for well over 100 years, Raffetto's has been selling pasta, in all it's iterations, on W. Houston St. in Greenwich Village. And it's good. And at well under $10 for 48 pieces, the price can't be beat. Next up - classic meat or cheese in red sauce.

Inspired by a suggestion from @liuzhou - I expanded slightly on it....

Not much to look at (besides a bit of yolk porn) but....certainly tasty!  Hash browns, with Lions mane mushroom steaks and a fried egg.  Little chicken jus and fresh picked spinach.

It's been a very rainy and chilly few days.  I don't mind a bit!  Glad I wasn't at a lake, though.  The garden is extremely muddy so I can't get in there and weed...hopefully they don't overtake.  Still getting gorgeous radishes and asparagus.

Pork chop, BBQ-style with grilled squash and carrots, all done on the PAG.  Corn, microwaved in the husk.  I expected to be disappointed by the corn since "early season" corn is usually never any good, but it was actually quite good and sweet.

Okay oh, I had to ask Mister Google but they said that this is an 'everything but the kitchen sink' type Russian soup. Yours looks delicious. Would you mind telling me what is in it?

I've been dying to make this dish at home but couldn't because of a lack of a primary ingredient - the grachai (aka krachai, finger root or sometimes labeled 'rhizome'). Over the long weekend we made it down to Chinatown and my favorite store, Asia Market which specializes in all things SE Asian (Sorry Bangkok Center Grocery who was out of stock). They had both the jarred version 'in brine' and also frozen which I had gotten previously. I had heard from online sources that the brined was just as good as fresh (which I've never seen) - but tonight I will say that while it's ok, I think the frozen one is a lot more pungent. I didn't get it this time because I didn't bring any ice paks with me...

I have been banned from ever cooking with squid ink again after pretty much the whole kitchen ended up stained black after I used too much when I tried. Looks good though.

Interesting. I most commonly see it dried here. It isn't great. I did bring back a bunch of fresh, young krachai from Cambodia a few years back. That was wonderful
