    Last night’s pasta all’Amatriciana.  Gonna make duck breast, cheese grits, and roasted beet and carrot salad for dinner tonight.  SWMBO Jr did most of the work on a German chocolate cake that’ll be desert.

    Whole lot of awesome right there.

    Thanks @gatraveller!  SWMBO Jr has been working through All About Cake by Christina Tosi, this is her 3rd cake (the dulce de leche cake was amazing), and she’s making chocolate cupcakes for the second time today, but those will get walked over to some neighbors.

    The recipes are involved, but all have been phenomenal, and if I need to have cake around to keep her off her phone for a few hours every weekend, that’s a sacrifice I’m ready to make.

    Tri tip going in the sv. Hit it with a couple favorites of @YukonRon and @Foghorn

    That looks like a winning combo right there @ColtsFan.  Let me know what you think of the Chupacabra Steak rub.  I look forward to seeing the result.

    Lobster tails - blanched in boiling water 60 seconds, ice bath, and removed from shells. Sous vide in butter for 30 minutes at 138. 

    Next time I’ll give them a little char on a raging hot grill. But overall, texture was perfect. And I liked having all the shells off ahead of time.

    Glad to see her still engaged and nailing every cook she takes on.  What a passion and skill-set.  
    Better to be lucky than good but I suspect she is getting pulled in a few more directions now.  Good luck with that... B)

    Had a pack of those tomatoes on the vine that were about to go bad.  I cooked them down and threw them into the fridge thinking they will come in handy.  And they did.

    @Acn, that looks like it deserves its own thread.  At a minimum, we need some words to 'splain it to us simple folk.
    Thanks @foghorn!  I won't do a full thread because my part (the dinner plate) was pretty easy and straightforward.  Score the duck fat, season both sides w/ salt & pepper, sear fat side down, flip, and into a 350 degree oven until around 135 IT.  For the grits, I just cooked quality stone ground grits per package directions, and finished with about 3/4 cup of mixed pecorino romano and white cheddar.  The veg was roasted beets and carrots, dressed with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, shallot, honey, and cumin; finished right before serving with lemon zest, parsley, and chopped pistachios.

    Now the cake was done primarily by my daughter.  She made all the components (and there are a bunch), with an assist from my wife when it came to assembly.  It came from 'All About Cake' by Christina Tosi, of Milk Bar fame.  It is German Chocolate, and goes, from bottom to top - cake layer (brushed with chocolate cake soak),  coconut crack, pecan crunch, frosting, cake layer (brushed with chocolate cake soak), coconut crack, pecan crunch, frosting, cake layer, frosting, toasted sweetened coconut.  It is outrageously good.

    Here is the full cake recipe should anyone be interested.

    Wife made a bolognese spaghetti sauce last night with ground turkey. Was the gamiest turkey ive ever eaten (even more so than a wild turkey). It was so bad no one would eat it except me.
