A tip o' the hat to Richard Chrz for his recent pizza posts. I tried Tony's recipe and had good results using one Baking Steel in the center of the oven 'cause I only have one steel. The crust came out a bit on the chewy side of crisp, but was very tasty after ~ 48 hrs in the refrigerator. I was a bit nervous checking it from time to time because there didn't seem to be any rise. Other refrigerated doughs do rise for me. However, it did rise a lot once it started to warn up.

My wife prefers a very thin crust while I prefer a NY style crust. So after stretching hers, I used a rolling pin to get it as thin as possible and she really liked the results. For mine, I just stretched it until it was as thin I I thought it should go while trying to make sure there was a small cornicione. (If ya get a big cornicione, it's time to break out the butter and eat it like warm bread fresh from the oven...)

Here's what I did. Set oven to 550° about an hour before cookin' time, (Baking Steel read 585° just before I placed the first pie on it.). Loaded pizza in oven and rotated a bit every two minutes or so. I pulled it when I thought it was ready with dark brown spots on the bottom of the crust. Second pie was then stretched and dressed while the steel came back up to temp. I then baked the second pie the same way, but it took a bit longer, (didn't really time either).

Inspired by Panhead John's profile in courage I ventured out into the arctic abyss this morning and started a pork shoulder

Just some pan seared salmon. Finished in oven. Nothing special but it was tasty.

Was watching an episode of Milk Street yesterday morning on PBS and got an inspiration. I normally just smoke heads of cauliflower (which is fantastic if you haven't done one). In their case they oven baked one but went further and brushed on a binder made from Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and some garlic. To that they added a combo of crumbled cheese and cilantro.

I went ahead and smoked mine with pecan as usual then applied the binder and cheese/cilantro. I only had queso fresco for the cheese and it didn't melt the way I wanted it to, but all in all it came out fantastic. Milk Street has some pretty great recipes that are relatively easy and quite good, check them out.

Rest of the meal was pretty good as well. Cranked up the heat in the kettle after the cauliflower smoking and grilled some red snapper filets over Meyer lemon slices. Served the flits with tartar sauce, some tomato and onion risotto and of course a wedge of that delicious cauliflower. Even the wife licked her plate, which was totally unusual for her.

Found a recipe on Serious Eats for Cuban style pollo a la plancha. Served with grilled onions and plantains, Cuban black beans and rice.

Got a couple things going for an early dinner today. Overnight brisket cook is now resting in the cooler. Wife asked what I was doing for sides. So I just prepped some armadillo eggs.

Happy Sunday everyone!

My first long cook on my new Lonestar grillz offset. It's a work out learning to use this beast of a smoker. I'm have questions on the Lonestar channel later.
