After enduring the public humiliation of having to admit the use of canned sliced potatoes, I struck out to redeem myself with homemade tomato sauce and meatballs*. 

 

 

 

 

 

* Full disclosure: the tomatoes came from a can, the pasta from a box, the tomato paste from a tube, and the meat and onion from the grocery store. The garlic was homegrown.

IMO actually tomatoes in a can beat grocery store tomatoes. Not home grown though.

Agree! I just never buy a store tomato. Canned are always available and consistent. These were Cento whole San Marzano. I use them in this and in pizza sauce. We like 'em!

Edit: I will buy a plum tomato to dice and put into guacamole.

Homemade Almond Windmill cookies are stinkin' up the house tonight at Casa de'la Wrench. 😋 

If you've never had one fresh out of the oven, you haven't lived.

No pictures but.  Dinner was good tonight.  Roasted some yukon gold potatoes and carrots in oven - really simple.  EVOO to coat, then kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.  400F for 45 minutes in a big skillet turned a couple of times to even out browning.  They get pretty that way.

Found a nice looking thick piece of wild Atlantic Salmon.  Seasoned it with EVOO, a little Lowry's and a little garlic and a little fresh ground Italian herbs.  Did it on a blazing hot blackstone on the flesh side first.  Got it nice and brown almost blackened.  Turned it to the skin side, moderated heat and covered it with the basting dealio.  Maybe ten minutes later it was perfect.  Just good and warm but not quite flaky in the middle.  

Next time, pics, I promise to try to do better.

Why don’t you do the skin side first? Sounds backwards

nevermind…flesh side = skin
