What's Cooking?

I haven't had much cooking to post but tonight I made a meal with more of the ribbonfish. I kept the skin on and slathered the flesh side with sesame miso paste and then rolled them. Cooked 14 mins at 450. Tried some with eel sauce and some without. Liked it better with the eel sauce.

Glad to see you post here again! I always find your Asian twist on things interesting.

Birthday pizza party here yesterday. Prep Saturday to give folks what they want, go time Sunday.

I didn’t get the sourdough started soon enough to go that way, and really I didn’t want the added baby sitting that requires, so I was happy to do yeast.

Second pizza was done and I was walking in the door when… I got stampeded by Rusty Ray D. Dog. I stopped, the pizza didn’t. Splat! Sorry grandma Bev, let’s try this again. 

All went well but I was worn out after it all. Second weekend in a row with a big to-do. 

One of the highlights was a BBQ chicken pizza. Pre-cooked chicken, thinly sliced red onion and a big dose of Marty-Q sauce. I haven’t made this in a long time. Folks really liked it. The downside is that’s the end of the Marty-Q sauce. Hint hint @BilletHead

Pizza parties are a lot of fun but they suck for the guy making it happen. We have an annual pizza and pumpkins event coming in October that I’m not looking forward to.

We can get everything prepped in advance, but when it's go time, it's make a pizza, cook a pizza, repeat. And cooking in an Ooni requires attention, so there's that too. When future SIL is here, we'll split duties but that wasn't the case for this.

Make it easier. Make and divide the dough in balls. Prep the choice of ingredients. Then have your guests stretch their own dough and dress their own pizza. Pressure off you. All you have to do is advise your guests when to take their pizza out.

Sounds good, but not in this scenario with a bunch of people. It's a little tricky to get the skins right, and I'm not going to make a bunch of extras to allow for screw ups. Then, over at the pizza oven, it's fairly tricky. If you tear one or slide the ingredients off it messes up the 900 degree stone, possibly to the extent that I'd have to shut the operation down. We've done it with just a couple folks over though.

We had four nice bananas that were ready but not quite over ripe.  And a nice bag of frozen pecans from this last autumn.  So I have banana nut bread in the oven, with a LOAD of pecans in it.  Plus there's cold 2% milk in the fridge and butter.  Guess what's for dinner tonight?

Pizza parties here include peppers split, seeded, stuffed with seasoned cream cheese and shredded cheddar, baked at 450 for about fifteen minutes.  Jalapeno, Anaheim, the sweet baby ones you name it.  They're popular.

Recents.

All three are repeats of previous posts, but hey, we cooked 'em again.

Roasted beet and goat cheese salad with dried cranberries and pecans. Cylindra beets from our garden.

Bourbon, brown sugar and pecan glazed salmon. We've been getting good salmon from Aldi lately. I'm not really a salmon fan, but this is delicious. Italian green beans from our garden and a boxed mushroom risotto that wasn't too bad.
