I mentioned this in the BBQ thread but finally posted the photos to share

Before and after of our chicken bacon ranch pizza.... came out sooo good

[lonestar]

You lost me at the ranch drizzle.

it wasn't a perfect drizzle, just like the shape

Tonight's dinner....


Potato gnocci, Smoked Dakota Bratwurst, squash, heirloom tomatoes, Fiscalini Bandage Wrapped Cheddar...

[black_biff_stadler]

H*ck yeah!

[cramx3]

Oo that looks and sounds delish

[lonestar]

Honestly it was something I just threw together with in house ingredients and some pre made gnocchi from the store. Really came out well though, the sweetness of the brats paired with just a touch of chili flake was quite nice.

Fucking show off.

Cinnamon toast is what I just “throw together”

[cramx3]

 

speaking of just throwing something together with what you have... here's another "high idea"

I call it shellception, jumbo shells and mini shells mac and cheese

I mean honestly, if anyone spends 40+ hours a week cooking for 30+ years in a wide variety of high end professional culinary environments, and can't just "throw together" something amazing out of fridge extras, they seriously wasted their life.

[jingle.boy]

Great, so the fact I can’t do anything with my career means I’ve wasted my life.

[King Postwhore]

No Chad.  You're just not creative you poor soul.

You can still eat.

It's not every day when Red Lobster even likes your breakfast 

We made the homemade cheddar bay biscuits yesterday to use for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich... that Red Lobster actually tweeted me back

Good recipe, might have to try it. Also love how the website presents it, and how it's not preluded by some bullshit, overly sentimental story about her grandmother.

[King Postwhore]

Going to bake some haddock today with panko bread crumbs.

Yes. Why does most every recipe have to have a backstory blog?

I saw one site that had a 'skip to recipe' button right before all the bullshit. I read the bullshit out of respect hahaha

Awesome AF! I’m going to need a bigger smoker!!

Is anyone else familiar with Sam The Cooking Guy's YT channel? I've been binge watching him the last several days and I find him hilarious and quite informative about cooking. I enjoy watching him way more than the TV chefs.

Yes!
He's great, he has this sarcastic irreverence about him that I find endearing.

Tried a reverse sear with my new cast iron pan. I'm no Lonestar so my ingredient list was extremely minimal: Beef, Himalayan pink sea salt (marinate for 24 hrs+), and butter applied just before searing after a 250F oven bake to 130F internal temp.

[Podaar]

Looks perfect!

The only thing I would have done different is add a layer of black pepper just before searing. But, like you say, I'm no lonestar.

I'm not sure what the difference would be, but I do mine quite a bit hotter. Off the top of my head I think I'm preheating the cast iron in a 450° degree oven, something like 1 minute per side on the burner on high, and then back into the oven for about a minute or so. I know the whole process takes all of about 4 minutes or so. No idea where I learned that, but I've liked the results.

Interesting, I've heard of throwing the cast iron in the oven to evenly heat the pan, but the time in the oven at 250F gives the stovetop plenty of time to distribute the heat through the cast iron.

I'll have to try your method to compare the value (if any) to taking the time at a lower temp.

Sorry I don't remember the specifics. I just recall that it was very hot and very fast. Like, have everything else ready before you throw the steaks on. Also, you obviously can't use butter with my method. I usually have ghee around so that's what I'd have used.

[lonestar]

Had a craving...turkey roulad, sour cream mashers, maple sausage stuffing, bacon braised brussels. I'm so fucking stuffed.

[TAC]

What did you start with for a turkey? A breast or a full bird?

It's a store bought roulade, dark meat rolled in breast meat.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Nothing special but I made a burger today. I devoured it 2 mins later. Now i'm a happy man.

[Spiritus]

 

[cramx3]

yum yum

[Podaar]

Had burgers yesterday myself, MrBoom_shack-a-lack (fuck that's awkward to type), but they didn't look as awesome as yours. Mmmmm.

Came in here to post Friday night's creation. Pistachio crusted cod fillets. Sorry I didn't get a picture after baking them, but honestly they looked much the same with a few of the bits browner.



This was good enough that I wrote down what I did, so I'd remember the next time.
