Hmmm, I see I have already collected a “disagree” on my legit inquiry…so do tell me what your “disagree” cook is? A clown burger? A cow flop pie? Chicken shizt on a shingle? PLEASE enlighten us, Mr disagreer! 

SGH

Ron if things go as planned:
Tomorrow, all you can eat catfish and hush puppies. 

Sunday going to break in the new carbon steel Detroit pizza pan. Going to try a pepperoni, sausage and a very special mystery meat Detroit style pizza on the BGE. 

Monday will probably be anus or chargrilled oysters.

@SGH - Just save the anus for dessert and hammer the chargrilled oysters.

It's the reaction you give them each time someone disagrees with you.....

If someone opened up an all-you-can-eat grilled oyster and anus joint, I'm thinking we'd probably never hear from you again.

@RRP. My freeze-tite showed up this week so going for pizzas tonight.  Any tips on how to get the dough not to stick to this stuff?

Last night was leftover Tri tip fajitas.

Last night went out with friends to Salvino’s local Italian restaurant 
Today I will be doing a butterflied leg of lamb 
That’s as far as I have planned
Everyone have a great Labor Day weekend

Peppers and sausage tonight, burgers tomorrow, brisket chili Monday.  All cooked outdoors because we’re on the way to Shenandoah.

Pulled some plate ribs and ribeyes from the freezer last night. We’ll see what else is in store

What would the name of such a joint be?  The Fried Hushpuppies, Anus, and oysTer Amazing Snack Shack, or The FHAT-ASS, for short?

It won't stick.

BigGreenKev

Fish fry is only thing planned currently.  Maybe save the oil and do a Vietnamese fried baby squid recipe on Monday.

EzraBrooks

Chili tonight, pork chops tomorrow, then some experimental pork banh mi burgers for Monday.

SWMBO made dolma and eggrolls.  I cranked on the flyer and it's been boiling the water out of it for 20 minutes.  Guess that was the storm

Hoster05

It worked to perfection @RRP

From your earlier pizza threads I know you like thin crusts. Without rolling them with a pin which is the reason I thought you wanted the Freezer-Tite then I’m curious how you got them thin using sticky dough in the past. BTW those were beautiful pies!

Summer rolls, with peanut sauce. Rolled skinny, liberties taken re: rolling them. 

Turkey + eggplant burgers (with pimiento cheese!). Yeah, it’s hard to get excited about turkey burgers, but this Serious Eats recipe was a game changer. Homemade buns. Friends brought pasta salad, which was pretty tasty, too. 

Mango Dream icebox cake (no pics), made for a nice summer treat at the end.

Oh man.  I have some vague notion of what that could be like, and now I want to make one.  

All the rest looks amazing as usual, but the sound of that cake… damn.

Its pretty simple. Found this not too long ago:
https://amandascookin.com/strawberry-dream-dessert/

That turned out well, so made some mods for the mango version:
- Subbed frozen organic mango chunks 20 oz for the strawberries. Costco was out of the ataulfo mangoes that I like (out of season). 

-When mixing the cream cheese and butter:

• Decreased powdered sugar to 1 cup
• Added strawberry syrup 2 TBSP
• Added lemon juice 1tsp , and a pinch of salt

Put it all together, per recipe. Refrigerate for a few hours... done!

Not fancy, but everyone enjoyed it.

And, don't hate on Cool Whip.

I haven't bought burger buns in 4+ yrs. Started with the recipe from Hamelman's Bread a few years back, , but Joshua Weissman's recipe for brioche-ish Japanese milk bread-style buns is mo' bettah. Tender crumb, but with enough structure to hold up a good burger. 

Here's the recipe I used. Basically the Joshua Weissman recipe, but higher hydration. I liked this one even more, and will be baking these going forward:

Thank you, kind SIR!

that gives me yet some MORE baking challenges! 

I will have to cut that recipe down!  Do you still feel it is worth the effort for just 2 burgers for the 2 of us?,

Yep, it’s worth it. 

You can make half the recipe (4 buns). Freeze the extra 2, or eat them as bread. They toast up well, and are pretty darn tasty.

I make that recipe often.  There are only two of us so I wrap the extras in  plastic wrap for the freezer.  They keep well and are great for a lunch sandwich. I find about 90-100 grams is a good size.

I had no idea that they could be frozen! Yup…I WILL be trying these soon! Mind if I ask you another question or two about them once I get the time to try making them?

Ask away! I make these somewhat regularly. 

Re: freezing, as @GlennM mentioned above, wrap each bun in cling wrap, then freeze. For extra credit, vac seal them, after they have frozen solid. 

Disclaimer: I've never frozen these, because we finish them within a few days. They easily last a week or two in the fridge.
