    I give you his and hers pizza.

    I used the remaining half of the dough from last night. I opted to try a sheet-pan pizza as I had so much trouble making a circle last night. Ironically, I started out making a pretty good circle this time!

    Toppings were the same for me.....pepperoni, Italian sausage, and serranos. Her side had just Canadian bacon cut into triangles along with pineapple. Both sides had shredded mozzarella and the Muir Glen crushed tomatoes mixed with a head of garlic I roasted earlier in the day. I did change the dried basil in the sauce for dried oregano, which I think I prefer.

    Into a 500 F oven it went for twelve minutes. As expected, the crust wasn't as crisp as it was last night when I did it in the cast iron. (I also upped the temp 25 degrees to see if that would help, but I don't think it had any appreciable effect.)

    It's also the right amount of dough (~9 oz) for a 1/4 sheet pan pizza. I tend to prefer thinner crust pizzas.

    Still, this is really good pizza. I don't think I'm going to be touching Papa John's again.

    BTW. the sausage is amazing. It is Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausage and you slice it down the back and peel it out of the casing. Crumble it into a cast iron skillet. Dust with crushed fennel seed and hot pepper flakes. Cook until mostly browned (as it will finish cooking in the oven on top of the pizza.) Incredibly tasty!

    Here it is precook....

      Interesting on not pre-cooking the sausage. I will need to try that....

      Looks good Michael. Just an FYI, Johnsonville makes that hot Italian sausage ground also, as well as links. Take a look for it next time, you won’t have to mess with slicing and emptying cases. Also, Kroger sells a store brand hot Italian sausage, almost as good as Johnsonville…..also in links or as ground sausage.

      But, in a 800 degree oven, with 90-120 secs total cooking time, raw sausage may not cook sufficiently? I need to try, as an experiment. Next time

    OK this is not a SUWYC post... rather a rant...for the past month + my deck and my cookers are invaded by Chinese stink bugs. Awful creatures.. Each time I try to cook I am greeted by 2+ dozen of the miserable malodorous bugs from hell. My grill gloves lately have 6+ of the ugly insects inside which deposit their stench on my hands in my rush to cook a weekday meal. Each time I try to cook I have to brush them aside and in the process get to enjoy the stench they emit. Tonight I got to grill Great Lakes salmon and they seemed driven to ruin the dinner. Fortunately dinner tasted good though cooking it was miserable.

      That's terrible but I am laughing at the image of me trying to deal with that.

      Gonna try the peppermint oil. We heard that whole cloves (the spice) works as well.

    Ok, it's not BBQ or smoking and it's cooked indoors, but it is grilling! A while back I picked up a Ninja Foodi Grill with temperature probe from Costco that is an indoor grill, oven, air fryer, roaster and dehydrator. I actually quite like it. Not so hot on steaks and burgers (but OK) but I am really loving what it does with pork chops. I find that cooking them plain and adding salt and pepper after tastes the best. Here is dinner tonight, all made on the grill. 1.5" thick pork loin chop with grilled squash and carrots. I put the carrots on with the chop and the squash on about half-way through. Probably should have also put the carrots on at the same time as the squash, but they were still yummy if a bit overdone. (My first attempt at carrots on this.)

    This thing is fast! About 17 minutes cook time (including pre-heat) plus a five minute rest for the chop (it times it for you). They have you cook it lower than eating temp and allow for carry-over cooking. So the chops are cooked to 130F and come out nice and juicy.

    It's also an excellent air fryer, but I haven't tried any other modes yet. I also grilled some bone in, skin on chicken thighs and they came out great.

      So, once I was at a deposition and the client was digging himself a big hole, despite my usual excellent prep. Defense counsel, who was a friend of mine, was ex-military JAG Corps. It was a fall down case. Client said he fell backwards and even to "laying on the ground prone." Defense counsel asks: "So you tripped, fell backwards and ended up on your stomach?" Client (with a "wuderyou stupid?" attitude: "No, on my back!"

      Cont'd: Defense counsel: "Oh, because you said you landed prone." Client (still with attitude): "Yeah. . . Prone. On. My. Back!" Defense counsel: "So you mean supine?" Client, with glazed over eyes: "Huh-wha?"

      You can't make this shite up.

    I microwaved some rice, so this still counts right?

    This is the tuna I got from wild fork, tastes good. Not great, but that's fine. I will get this again for sure.

    Served with avocado, pickled ginger, and a wasabi mayo.

    The rice is a small bowl of Japanese brand microwave rice from the BX Asian section. It was actually very good sticky rice.

      That is some fresh tuna!!!!

    Tres fini.
    Turned out really well, I kinda surprised myself.
    Temps yo-you’d on the Keg all day was constantly chasing a steady temp.
    Flat was dryer than I wanted but that was to be expected.
    Point just a little further than I’d like but still tender could have been juicier.
    Give it a B-

      Love it

    Weeknight pulled pork chile verde. Took advantage of some pulled pork in the freezer from a recent cook, along with some roasted hatch chiles we had in there, as well. Add some of the last tomatillos from the garden and it makes for a pretty good, quick chile verde.

      I would have three tortillas on the side. My issue would be deciding how much to eat straight and how much to put in the tortillas. Delicious.

    Did Braciole on Gasser. A variation of bbqpitboys.com recipe. These are some good ol' boys. And they can Q'. Happy with results. Will tweak a bit. Mainly have all the ingredients on hand. No regrets. Sorry no plating pictures. Hopefully you'll get the idea.

        If your in Hamilton ask a football fan, Oskee Wee Wee the start of the cheer for the Tiger Cat football team of the CFL.
        Hamiltonians love they're Ticats, blue collar players that give they're all for a blue collar city.
        Do not even mention, I mean this, the Toronto Argonauts....they'll be boilin tar and pluckin chickens for your bath!

        smokin fool Ok I get it now...I have been visiting friends in Hamilton, Toronto and Mississauga for many years now. I remember when Doug Flutie was an Argonaut. Anyhow, I'm almost Canadian. In 1997 my Ex and I took a trip by car from Hamilton to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, to Grand Manan Island, Then to PEI and finally to Newfoundland. One of the greatest trips of my life. I thought of Farley Mowat the whole way.

      Wild Fork Prime Strips. Not the best knife skills I’ve seen from a butcher, but steaks were pretty dang good. Front seared on the WSCG with Weber briqs.

        I second what Panhead John said!

      I give you broiled (hey, it's an upside down grill...sorta....) spicy salmon: Salmon and broccoli brushed with a mixture of gochujang (Korean fermented hot chili paste), soy sauce, garlic, toasted sesame oil, and brown sugar. Beyond amazing. (I had to eat the broccoli first as I misjudged how fast it would cook verses the salmon.)
