    Lots to pick from.  Expensive way to eat but with the lockdown it is a cool idea.  Sending some to friends as well.
    If you want to do it let me know as I get $50 free for referring 2 buyers. ;)
    Yeah man, that pizza you snagged looks amazing. I think I'd be down. My wife is checking it out now.

    Wow man that is fucking spectacular.

    I ordered a treat as well, from goldbelly.
    Ordered Tony's Pizza Napolenta.
    Needed a food treat with no restaurant action for a month.
    3 pack of gluten free and 3 pack regular.

    Goldbelly is a sweet site....anyone ever do this?

    I ordered a treat as well. Got BBQ burnt ends brisket today - with baked beans and coleslaw. After I got all masked and gloved up, I went to pick it up.

    Gallows humor is usually the way I go.  Have to.  

    Juggler, yum!  Medium rare I hope. No potatoes though?  Tsk tsk. 
  • The JugglerThe Juggler Posts: 48,812
    Medium. New iPhone, yes.

    Yeah, some roasted potatoes would've been great. However, we are living in hell and have to make due with what we have, hedonist!

  • Medium steak is near hell.
    Rare, as rare as it can be.
    At least medium-rare!

    I don’t think I could not mess up cooking octopus.
    Please post the finished product!!
    Heres my first attempt at sour dough. Next time I think I’ll put it on a baking sheet not a loaf pan.


  • Love tako!
    Octopus, forever.

    Bread would be good right about now.

    Such good presentation always...amazing.

    This inspired me to do octopus a few years ago and do it about once a year now.  Never done it like that though, Eddie. Might have to.

  • Great stuff, as always!

    Not much to look at, but it's a local country sausage that is just damn good.

    Anybody else here a sausage nut?
    I dream of sampling the full range of local German/Austrian/Polish sausages the way sushi nuts want to go to that one guys place lol

    I want to try all the sausages of the world, in one day.

  • I love sausage but no way near how I feel about sushi.  
    Are you referencing Jiro?

    That does look good, though.

    I don't know who I'm referencing, just that guy who lives on top of sushi mountain lol
    Sushi doesn't compare to sausage for me.
    I mean, a great piece can be exquisite in a way sausage never is, but cutting a piece of fish is not equivalent to a recipe that's been fine tuned for hundreds of years of tradition.  

    I know, in many cases, there's more to sushi than cutting a piece of fish, but from what I've seen, the use of actual ingredients is often frowned upon and the entire endeavor is a matter of starting with the best ingredients and letting them shine through simplicity.  I have no problem with that, as a food philosophy...hell, I'm an heirloom gardener, so it's the food philosophy I most align with, but I don't act like slicing a tomato and cucumber perfectly and pairing it with just the right balsamic vinegar is an art form or pinnacle of culinary skills...

    Alright, I completely suck at remembering to take pics. Here is the filling for our spice tuna roll.
    Inside: spicy tuna, avocado, shrimp tempura (frozen, from box for shrimp).
    Outside: Ahi, green dragon sauce and spicy mayo.
    I'll remember to take more tomorrow!

  • Haha.  Watch Jiro Dreams Of Sushi.  Amazing stuff.
    I know very little of sausage, except I like pretty much everything I have eaten.

    I think I would enjoy that movie, but I've never had the opportunity to watch it.  I know I heard an NPR piece once about how a guy barfed because they serve you 20 courses in 30 minutes and you aren't allowed to slow down, you have to eat it in seconds or they take it away.  Some ridiculous reasoning about freshness I think?

    I don't recall that but I 100% prefer sushi bar and it really hurts the experience for me if I get a shitload of warm fish on a platter while sitting at a table
    Also, I'm a giant pig when eating sushi so that would not phase me.  
    Can understand that it is a different thing for many.
    I would cut off a pinky to go there.
    I think you would appreciate the movie.  Guy is hard core dedicated about trying to find ways to improve his craft every single day.  Very impressive.

    There used to be a German deli in South Central LA that served my dad sausages just like home. Good god they were amazing!

    We stopped going once the gangs took over.

    Good morning to those in the States and, elsewhere, good day. This is how mine is shaping up. Temps at 275, using a mix of pecan and cherry, around 14-15 lbs trimmed and on at 5:18 this morning. Now just going to sit here for the next 12-14 hours. Hope you all have a good one today.

  • Oh boy.  I would like to see the pics once cooked and then served.  Beautiful!
