Aside from the recipe, that pizza video is great. The little brother having a fit when he doesn't get the piece of garlic bread is very familiar

Kids slumber party, they get to make their own pizza and so do I

Buffalo chicken pie



Pepperoni, jalapeño, mushroom, garlic

Jack....
....go on....

I made a pepperoni/bacon pizza for dinner tonight and after seeing that pic I am kicking myself for not throwing on some jalapenos. Good looking pie!

Also kinda jealous of Hoagie's stove, one of these days I'll justify the expense of a switch to gas.

Stew & Parmesan grits:

Jack you're on a roll lately, great looking pizzas

btc's cooking making my mouth water per usual

Wow I want this so bad. Not exactly what I expected but no complaints here.

Lazy shaping, the dough is 65% water AP flour .5% yeast 2% salt, bulk ferment with stretch and fold for about 5 hours.

Buff chicken is kens blue cheese salad dressing as a base sauce smear, chopped chicken thigh (boneless skinless Sous vide at 145F), Franks red hot, sliced white onion, minced garlic, blue cheese crumbles, low moisture whole milk mozzarella.

Other pie is tomato sauce, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, diced slices pepperoni, sliced crimini mushrooms, diced red bell, pickled mezzetta jalapeños, sliced onions, the same mozzarella.

Both pies baked on pizza stone in well preheated 500F oven with convection on.

Cheese recommendations per the NYC pizza YouTube videos posted above.

Jack,

Great looking pizzas. Throw some pepperoni and onion on that second one, and it would be my all-time favorite even untasted.

last year when my brother and his family visited i fired up the pizza oven. we baked several pies and later in the night he mentioned there's a place in SF that puts hummus on their pizza instead of sauce. we tried it with the hummus i had in the house but it was way too dry (great hummus to eat, just not great for pizza).
has anyone else tried hummus as the base for a pie? my brain thinks it has potential, just haven't had a good one yet.

Not traditional hummus but similar idea

yim, that looks comforting and delicious.

jack, pizza's look great, but muenster > polly-o

Did we ever get the trip report on the third date meal?

My grandma from rural Tennessee, R.I.P. used to make a 12hr stewed ox-tail and grits that reminded me of this. Amazing job. I can almost taste it!

Ty sir, I bet your grandma's stew & grits was off the charts tasty! Grandmas seem to always have a special touch they bring to their food, I know both of mine did.

Cooking rolled lamb breast sous vide. Because it's a tougher meat it needs a longer time (thinking in the ballpark of 18 hours). My question is that what considerations do I need to make with salting the meat for longer cooks like this? Do I run the risk of extracting too much moisture and the cut drying out?

FIL gave me the Easter Ham Bone iykwim so I decided to make Nana's Epic Navy Bean Ham Bone Soup








Would bone again.

Smoked a couple birds

Lemon brine overnight, hit with some “big time bbq” rub

Medium ~275F charcoal fire in the tamale pot/Weber Smokey Joe homemade smoker, about 2.5 hours

The daughter pointing at food or eating with a jacket over her head are extremely annoying and just weird. I get that you don’t want your child’s face all over social media and the internet, I’m a nobody and feel the same way. I also get he’s trying to post how he has his child exploring food with him and how involved of a father he is I get that. However either put her in the pics or leave her out, can’t have your cake and eat it to. He’s like Micheal Jackson for Christ’s sake.

I don't care one bit about just having one hand in the picture.

Reminds me a lot of a bean soup my dad use to make.

just posting for the navy bean joke...i would smash some of that soup.

Can anyone recommend a good instant pot cookbook? Got an instant pot for my mom, and I know she won't go online for the readily available recipes. she'll use it way more if she has an actual recipe book.

Baked some ribs. Meat is much more expensive up here but the cryopaks get deep discounts on occasion. This was probably $7 usd in meat?
