Nice looking prime rib!

I have been trying new things whenever I get a chance lately. This time it was lamb chops. I got the full rack from costco, cut them into chops, marinated over night in olive oil, minced garlic and minced rosemary. Tossed them on the grill, and a little salt.

I was expecting to eat them myself, my kids are 9, 6, and 4... I was mistaken. I only got one bite, the kids devoured these things. My 6 year old ate 2 chops and then asked 'is this cow?' I said no, its lamb. She replied 'I don't want to eat a cute little lamb...but its SO good (and she took another bite)'

I had a choice of orange or purple. I always choose the purple. Adds some flair to the dish.

I just can’t deal with the smell when cooking lamb. I can eat it, just can’t cook it.

I did a preparation that I have read about but never seen done.

These are Branzino (european sea bass), I put slices of lemon, slices of shallot, and a sprig of rosemary in the cavity.

The interesting part is making a salt dome over the fish and then putting it in the wood oven.

This is a great way to cook a fish, the moisture is locked in, but you have to be careful to not drop pieces in the salt.

Next time I will do a bigger fish, a little less surface area to the volume of the meat (I intended to get red snapper, but it was out). Two other things I will do, give the pan a coat of olive oil, or better yet a piece of parchment paper (Cleaning the pan was a bitch), and give the fish a coat of oil before packing it with salt. The skin did come off nicely, but I could see that being a potential problem.

In related news, I have been feeding a sourdough culture for the last few days, I think its about ready to produce some delicious loaves of bread.

Its a lot like having a pet, feeding it every 12 hours and such. But once its fully active, you can slow it down in the fridge.

We'll see how it goes, I have done loaves of bread in the wood fired oven before, but not from a 'natural' starter, I did a poolish (for anyone whis interested). I also think I have a good idea on how it 'inject steam'

We shall see.

Keep me posted, I’m getting ready to do the same thing. I thought I’d follow THIS since I’m a neophyte.

This is my first success (so far) at a sourdough starter, but not my first attempt.

I did something similar to your link, twice. The first time it just did start, I think I kept everything too clean, you are supposed to get your hands in there, and let it be exposed to the air. I kept it pretty covered up because we have a cat running around the house.

The second time I was 'less' clean and it started but got funky and I threw it away. Knowing what I know now, I think it was doing what it was supposed to be doing, but I didn't feed it often enough.

This time I bought a dry package of (what is advertised as) Original San Francisco Starter, the procedure is basically the same and it takes about 4 days to a week it get it going. Feeding it twice a day etc.

I would be more confidant doing one myself again, now that I know what I am looking for, and what it should smell like etc.

My understanding, from reading a couple books on this stuff, is that eventually "local" yeasts from wherever you are will take over your culture. Maybe just one opinion, but it makes some sense.

Looks like it’s well on it’s way! BTW, I thought this was especially well done:
