What's for Dinner?

[sour_grapes]

Roasted artichoke with lemon/butter dipping sauce; sauteed spinach with EVOO and garlic; seasoned roast eggplant; Salisbury steak with mushroom sauce; salad with olives and sunflower seeds. Washed down with a cheap Mendoza Bordeaux blend (Malbec, Cab. Sauv., Petit Verdot) that is punching above its weight.

My fridge/freezer down in the winery died over the weekend. I had 3 chunks of brisket frozen along with quart containers of stocks and sauces that had to move to the kitchen fridge. The smallest flat of brisket didn't fit so I put it in a stainless pan, seasoned, covered and baked at 200 degrees for about 18 hours then another 6 or 8 at 210. The fat melted and I ended up with a Confit Brisket, awesome. No replacement for a smoked brisket but worked fine on a snowy week day. Chocolate cookies (not burned hamburgers) on the cooling racks for drive to California this week.

Had leftover doughs from last weekend in the freezer, so thawed overnight and made a small stromboli for my daughter. Didn't know what to do with the second dough, wifey perked up and said "make me some pizza" so I accommodated, but warned about an impending pizza cook on Sunday.

Making two poolishes tonight for the pizza on Sunday.





Dough made with a poolish, so "soft, yet clunchy" (aka Vito Iacopelli). Oven set at 500*F, stone read 515, 10 minute cook.

The Deitz and Watson stuff I get has gone up at least by 1/2. Normally more expensive than the other options before price increases.

Have to support those who support the Eaglettes, lol.

I hear ya! The house we rented in OBX last summer was up almost 20% this year (as were most places). Food is nuts, gas is nuts. Thank goodness the mortgage is locked in!

I'm gonna have some extra dough left on Sunday (making two batches, ie. 10 doughs). Need to research some Detroit pizza, wondering what car parts I have to buy for it, lol.

Edit: Vito Detroit style....

Double edit: Mike, I did my research...did you cook it in a blue steel pan meant for oil or spare parts from a car, lol.

 

[ibglowin]

LOL I snagged this pan about a year ago. It's perfect for this type of pie.

Note: this pan is up 23% since I purchased a year ago......

My wife who works at Costco and sees prices fluctuate daily tells me she doesn’t remember such a climb, everything is higher in price since a year or so ago.

I wonder about the meat price now and will be checking later today but assume it’s gone way up
