My first inclination is to say that I would walk right past most of those desserts for almost any of those breads, but I just went back and looked at the desserts again.

I think my first inclination might have been wrong. While the breads are definite food pron (esp the ryes), many of the desserts pictured are maybe just too amazing or me to stick to my guns.

I mean, damn.

At least you didn't merge the preggo thread and the politard drunk thread.

Fresh local albacore is one of my seasonal treats. The boats are in so I went down to the dock and bought a 16lb. fish. $40 later I left with ~9lbs of albacore and headed home.

3 small onions, a stick of butter, 1.5 loins of albacore, salt and pepper wrapped in foil and cooked covered on the grill.

A little food porn.

Breakfast at Bouchon.

Pics of french toast, pastries, Lyonnaise potatoes.
Muffin was heavenly, and potatoes were onioney and crisp.
house made peach jam was a touch of gold.

OK, Cookie. Tell me what to do with a leg of lamb. I know what to do with chops (duh), but not really with the leg.

Note I will be the only one in the house eating it, as my newly-impregnated wife won't touch the meat products right now. Second trimester, probably, but right now...no.

Keep it simple. I want it to be steeped in deliciousness, yet not require any skills whatsoever.

This:

On top of this:

?

I think the wet rub is thyme, garlic, salt and whole pepper and a little olive oil, mash it all in the morter, rub onto lamb.

I make beans/bean soup in mine on occasion but mine seems to be a little too hot for braising meats, even on 'low'. So I just lift the insert out and use it as dutch oven.

I want to make a braciole but some recipes cook it like a roast and others braise it low and slow. Anybody got a preference and any tips? For filling I was gonna use bread crumbs, pine nuts, mushrooms, garlic, herbs, parm, and sliced mozz. Served with/braised in homemade marinara. This will be my second attempt, first one looked good but was too rich (imo) because recipe had sausage in it.

Got a slowcooker a few weeks back and first thing i did was a porkneck. Filled slowcooker with potatoes and onions, filled up with 1-2 bottles of dark beer and stock until all veggies were covered, put marinated meet on it and go for 9 hours. Sauce is very tasty but thin... but i think that is a problem in general that you wont get a thick gravy.

Yeah slowcooking is all about big chunks of meat in my eyes. I remember my dad doing it alot for our sunday roast back in the day, usually beef iirc. Don't possess one myself though.

Cooking homemade pizza tomo for the first time(!)...will try and get pics

As somebody noted, chili is a good idea, and as someone else noted, some brands cook too hot these days. I had to do a lot of research to get one that doesn't just boil everything even on the low setting.

I'd suggest lentil soup. I have a recipe you can try toward the beginning of this thread and in the Health & Fitness recipe link in their FAQ. It's more of a tomato-based soup than a pure lentil soup, but whatever.
