I think the baking is part of the flavor.. the cheese does brown a little bit, and I wanted to try it.  I've been roasting whatever leftover tomatoes I have with herbs, OO, etc as an easy sauce base for years, family taught me the technique.  I recently read an older post on this forum where someone posted the technique a few years back :)

I read a super simple recipe someplace on the interwebs: bake feta with cherry tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil, then stir in noodles with a little cooking water and basil.  Tastes great, but texture was a little grainy.

I've made that recipe a few times and whether it ends up grainy or not really does depend on your feta. My daughter, who dislikes feta makes it with Boursin and that is a great variation.

It is hot today at 100ºF.  

A perfect day for dinner in the crockpot.

Chicken Adobo, an easy meal with few ingredients to toss together. 

Now I can just relax and be cool.  

Time for a chilled glass of white wine (I added a big ice cube to my glass).

Charlie asked for a BBQ party for his birthday.  The party will be tomorrow. I have been making dishes for it for the last couple days. I will post pictures tomorrow but today I did a brisket. The target temperature to pull it was 202. It got to 199 and stalled there for two hours.  Then it took only twenty minutes more to finish.  I have heard of it taking longer but I hope this will be the longest I will ever have.

Due possibly to @KennethT I experienced a craving for arctic char.  When I got home from work tonight, I consulted amazon and they had two fillets on my doorstep within the hour.  Expensive addiction.

Curious what it ran you through Amazon...

 

We had some super fresh Char and Spigola last night, I love doing the char med-rare when it's that fresh - just cook on a med-low grill for about 10-12 minutes, no flipping - divine.  Sorrel sauce as icing on the cake.  I think for 2 whole sides I paid $35 CDN.

Made a big batch of sauce so I could start building up my stash in the freezer.  So spaghetti and venison meatballs happened.

Ronnie came home with some beautiful pork belly on Thursday so had to have that with tomatoes sprinkled with onion, a bit of rice vinegar and dash of sesame oil.

And Asian salad

My egg rolls and frozen potstickers (that are surprisingly good)

Yesterday I did another cold smoked turkey breast in the SV.  Turned out much better this time.  Had to make bread for the sandwiches.

I always have an ice cube or two in white wine or rose when it's hot out. Didn't know I was cool! (When ordering in a restaurant, I always ask for a side of ice cubes as I don't want 6 ice cubes in it.)

Fried chicken, potato salad, panzanella. The purple cabbage slaw looks weird, but wasn't.

Some of the pork shoulder char siu (Noh powder) meat off the charcoal grill.   Pork was sous vided and then grilled.

We had some super fresh Char

 

Farmed? I used to live in the Northwest Territories back in the 80's when I was very young and knew people who went out and fished for char, believe they can be tricky fish in the wild, it was considered a bit of a challenge. I had fresh, frozen and smoked from wild stock that people shared. Farmed char seems to be the norm these days. Iceland claims to have sustainable farmed char but I keep looking at what we are doing to wild salmon stock due to fish farming and I can't help but wonder (despair?)

I want to try this. I have some of the Noh char siu powder. Yours really looks lovely!
