Sorry for the late notice on this but I just read the email in my inbox and feel compelled to post this here for a family going through some tough medical issues.
For Sam
No pics, but I made a funky risotto, tonight: miso, beets, garlic and dry Huangjiu, made with sushi rice. Topped with a knob of butter and some excellent parmigiana.
I'm not grilling anything at the moment, but I did clean my Genesis inside and out. When the grease and grime below grilling surface started catching on fire, I figured it was time. The Genesis makes it very easy to take out all the parts and scrape/wash them down that I really should not wait so long.
Thanks guys, it was very good, better than the first one for sure. I let it get to a solid 205 internal before pulling it. Didn't have quite enough rest time but that didn't seem to impact things negatively either. I guess that I am going to have to get up earlier next time, which is unfortunately but on some level I'm happy to suffer for the craft.
The tomato pie was good but almost too sweet. My tomatoes are super sweet so I should not have included even the small amount of sugar she has in the recipe. I'm going to try a leftover slice today to see how it has aged.
Last night, but when a cigar bar that has good food and 2-for-1 drinks is on your way to symphonic band rehearsal, one must do one's part to stimulate the economy.
Took most of my remaining ripe tomatoes, but I made a tomato pie from the Farmer and the Chef's recipe and I am desperate to eat it even though I have to wait awhile.
