Thats a nice Crumb. Do you frequent any pizza related forums?

Not really.  I post occasionally to the Ooni Community on Facebook. 

Otherwise I just post on facebook and my blog Thibeault's Table.

Roasted a couple small pasture raised chickens a couple days ago. Last night had a second meal with roasted golden beets, salted potatoes, and a fresh sliced slaw/salad. Batch of chicken stock. 3 pounds of roasted chicken necks, and lots of aromatics and veg. Leek tops, etc. 3 pints with chunks of chicken for semi quick soups.

Tonight's dinner. A pepperoni mushroom pizza baked in the Ooni Koda.

 

Dough had been in the fridge since Saturday.

Jeeze!!! That crust ❤️

The on-going saga of hubby's health 😉
He had carpal tunnel surgery on the left hand on Monday. Probably the right hand a few months down the road. He may well be able to play guitar and touch type again one day!
To make eating easier, I've been trying to have no-cutting required foods.

Day before surgery: Char siu baby back ribs and cauliflower fried rice.

                                                                           

 

Bratwurst with mushroom gravy            

 

                                                                           

 

Small lamb chops - finger food size - from the small Chinese grocery stores. These were 3.99 / lb, and not the best, but the flavour was good. The rest of the bag I bought will be for long simmered curries!

 

                                                                          

 

Made a Keto version of Lamb Muossaka. Would have been better with out the cheddar cheese on top. The dish was small enough to fir in the Ninja Air Fry Oven. I have made a Weight Watcher's version as well. Nothing beats the original with Bechamel!  

                                                                         

 

Fall is in the air - cool temperatures in the evening already! MaPO Tofu with Eggplant too. Grocery stores have had cilantro with root ends. I love that part of the herb and add them to everything!

 

                                                                         

 

This afternoon, hubby is seeing the optometrist on the progress of his cataracts. Sigh....

Splendid early autumn fare.  My compliments!

$3.99/lb for lamb chops??  I just checked Whole Foods:  $22.99/lb for rib chops from New Zealand.*  $9.99/lb for shoulder chops that may or might not be fine for braising.  No country listed.

 

I am fond of MaPo tofu and I am fond of eggplant.  How do you prepare your eggplant for adding to MaPo tofu?

 

My approach to worsening cataracts is to avoid appointment notices from the optometrist.  Soon I won't even see them.  Hope this helps.

 

 

*Shoprite lamb prices are about the same as Whole Foods.

Adding eggplant to mapo tofu? Unheard of. Sacrilege

 

I beseech you to make yuxiang eggplant instead!

 

Are you using the long thin Asian eggplants? They need no preparation other than cutting to size.

Thanks.  I'm not using any eggplants at the moment.  Here the eggplant selection varies from time to time.

Colorado lamb shoulder chops are better tasting than New Zealand lamb rib chops! Ask any American myologist!

I made carbonnade as well. We usually eat it over grits. There were no grits on hand. So I put it in the fridge and will get some grits so we can have it tonight.

The chops were brought in by one of our local small Chinese grocery stores. I think they may be "discards" when the butcher was cutting the loin chops. They are very irregular in thickness, most were about 2 cm thick. They were packed in bulk. I was so surprised that I bought a bag for $30.00. I may try a Cumin stir-fried lamb with some soon.

I usually can pick up lovely thick lamb chops marked down a Day Before Best if I make Safeway in the morning. I then either stockpile or enjoy that evening. I think lamb loin chops (Alberta raised) usually run about $15.00 / lb.

Guess I was pushing the boundaries when I called my dish "Mapo Tofu". I will from now on call it Spicy Tofu with Pork, Eggplant and Toban sauce;-)
I will try your suggestion : Yuxiang Eggplant; somethin g I would enjoy, but not so sure about hubby.
I tossed in eggplant as it was leftover from the Moussaka. It was just the regular ones. I just cubed and sauteed first, then combined at the end, where as in the Moussaka, I salted and rinsed first.

Fettuccine with shrimps (briefly seared with cherry tomatoes and sliced garlic) in a sauce made from parsley, mashed feta and avocado and pasta water.

Last Night's dinner.

Italian Roast Chicken. This is a favourite that I usually make a number of times a year.

But the last time I made it was back in January while I was recovering from the accident.

The recipe is my recreation of a dish we use to order in an Italian restaurant when we lived in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario back in the late 90's.

 

Served with Spaghetti Aglio E Olio.

[liamsaunt]

Saag paneer (made with kale and turnip greens from my CSA), chicken masala, rice, naan, and pappadum.

 

[kayb]

Would you share your recipe for pappadum?

[TicTac]

Took a drive to one of my favourite fish mongers - when he tells you these were off the boat yesterday in Greece - you buy!  

sardines and baby red mullet 

 

spring salmon 

 

 

 

all cooked/touched with smoke on some Argentinian hardwood and hickory/cherry

Tonight's dinner.

 

Coconut Crusted Prawns with a Spicy Pineapple Salsa.

[Dante]

Slugburger (no slugs involved, but the urge to call it the Slug Melt was strong)/onionburger hybrid patty melt with sauteed summer squash on the side
