    Roasted some cherry tomatoes in the wood-fired oven this weekend, along with some Portobello and Artichokes.  Vegetables roasted over high-heat are on another level.  This kids enjoyed it, so mission accomplished. 




    love steamed artichokes, never once thought of roasting them.  Added to "the list".  :triumph:  


    I steam-roast them. After they get some color I pour in a little white wine then cover the skillet with foil and let it ride until they're tender. Then remove the foil and re-crisp them up for a bit.

    Used the salamander broiler for the steak.

    I’m really enjoying mine too. It’s so damn convenient for a couple steaks. It still freaks me out how insanely hot it gets, so quickly.

    That looks awesome, John.  It would be extra complete with a pineapple upside down cake for dessert.... =)

    @Mattman3969- where do you find Cobia in flyover country...asking as I had fresh in FL in may (first time with that fish) and it was mild but quite tasty and enjoyable. 
    BTW- diamond plate for the presentation of a great cook!

    Judging by the cut of that filet and the size of it, that was one big cobia! We catch them in the 50-65# range fairly often, I’ve never seen a hunk of it  that wide

    I’m guessing it was 6-7” at the wide end.

    Mattman, did you know that Beef & Bacon carries wagyu now?  It is on hwy 56, mile or so inside Daviess Co line from McLean Co.  They post on facebook what they have available.  A Keugle father and son own the land, cattle, and the processing facility.

    That was my thought too.  I didn't think there was a commercial harvest of cobia other than fishing guides that also carried a commercial license (they will sell a big cobia to a restaurant like Redfish Grill for $300 bucks.

    My buddy took my boat out today to do some solo fishing....caught a bunch of reds.   I was working at my shop and realized how nice it is without a huge boat in the middle of the floor so I asked him if we could just keep it at his house (next block from me).  He said hell yeah and he'd even buy a good lock for it.  So that's ordered and I'm about to order a boat cover...hurricane tore up the last one.  He's going again tomorrow, so I told him to just keep it connected to my truck overnight.  Down side is I'm driving a Prius in the interim and my head hits the roof unless I slouch.

    @Ike - I actually had one of their ribeyes at a buddies house. Good stuff!  I plan on a purchase as soon as I get through my last purchase from Hillview Farms. Their stuff was top notch too.  I ordered 20 Tbones and 20 Ribeyes. Both were bone in and cut 1 1/4 thick.  I really liked dealing with Gilles.

    From last night...
    My stepdaughter, Crystal, has been staying with us the past week or so, back home to Tampa on Sat.  She whipped up this appetizer, tomatoes and basil from the garden with mozzarella rounds and a balsamic reduction...
    I made ABT's, japs from the garden, dusted with brown sugar and DP Spicy Pineapplehead.  Crystal requested the dustings, typically make them naked...
    Slow cooked some burgers along with peppers, baked beans and cukes/onions...
    Of note, Crystal is a vegetarian.  During her time here she's requested, and I cooked, the above meal, spares, pulled pork and jerk chicken.   😁
    Certainly doesn’t sound like a vegetarian to me.
