What's for dinner tonight?

[wolc123]

Shepard’s pie, it was so good that I had to go back for a second helping.

My mom has had a house on an island in Croatia for 25 years. The first time I had octopus was there. Mom retired this year as a teacher so she is living in Croatia 6 months out of the year. Today she sent me this, caught and cooked within 30 minutes she said. 

Lots of vino with every meal lol even when I was a teen.

Love Octopus what is the recipe?

Not sure I'm not on the island. I will say octopus stew is the best ever but everything must be fresh

Why don’t you WNY guys char or grill your corn?

Because that absolutely ruins the taste of properly grown, harvested and cooked, fresh picked that day sweet corn. Anytime after ther day picked, you can grill it or fry it or whatever. But truly fresh sweet corn is boiled for a short time, served piping hot, slathered in butter, salted and eaten off the cob. And no pepper for the love of God!!!

So when I grill my corn… I leave in husk and soak in salt water. Then I grill still in the husk. Essentially steamed corn

No thanks. I don’t love salt or butter and definitely nothing piping hot. I drink iced coffee even in winter and rarely ever order soup since it’s too hot. Maybe I have soup once every few years. I also never buy corn that was picked that day, so I guess that’s why my corn is fine. The char mix of black and yellow corn is awesome.

In the end, corn isnt much nutrition wise. It’s like a snack with dinner. I think some people are overthinking it

I do venison, steak, lamb all medium rare. And no dipping sauces! Room temp with salt & pepper for 30-40 min then on the grill Hot & quick.

I have no problem shooting a doe for someone else’s enjoyment. I shot a bunch as a kid.

Went to New Haven for some pizza on Saturday. Went to Frank Pepe's, Sally's, Zenelli's, and Abate's. Wanted to go to Modern but didn't have time. Pics are: the original coal oven at Pepe's; mozz pie at Sally's; potato and rosemary, tomato pie and mozz slices at Sally's; sausage and pepper and grandma pies at Abate's. We also had the mozz, tomato and clam pie at Pepe's and the marinara and margherita at Zenelli's but didn't get pics there. For the Pepe vs Sally's debate, I definitely preferred Sally's but both were awesome. I thought the best tasting pie of the day though was the sausage and pepper from Abate's.

Quite the pizza adventure! Time to head to Brooklyn and hit Spumoni Garden for "squares" and Sal's on Court Street for the most traditional slice IMHO
Pepe's white clam is solid!

We actually took an organized tour otherwise there was no way we could have done four places in one day considering the wait time at each place. For $75 we got to try 2-3 different pies at each place and included beer and wine. The white clam wasn't for me but I don't like seafood. Brooklyn and Northern Jersey are being kicked around for a future trip.

I like my pizza paper thin. Sicilian or Chicago thick nonsense is gross. So usually street pizza type places I like best. Topping-wise I'm simply. Pepperoni or Breaded Chicken.

Hahha breaded chicken is not a "simple" pizza topping. It's a metro-sexual topping!
Pepperoni, meatball, sausage, peppers and onions (which I don't like) are the core 4 (and anchovies I guess) - everything else is sissy new age!!!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When I kid only ate white pizza! Because I hated tomatoes and sauce. Now I eat raw tomatoes daily

Smoked ribs and crockpot Mac and cheese and collard greens and fresh green beans from garden. Sweet baby Ray's and Stubb's sauces. Potlicker for collard greens is delicious.
