Sam's Club had some racks of lamb in the markdowns today! You can bet that followed me home!

Made a keto pizza Monday night. Aside from the fact that there isn't a perfect substitute for a chewy yeasty pizza crust, this is a reasonable facsimile thereof! Leftovers will be served cold tonight.

^ I have been wanting to try either a chicken crust or a cottage cheese/parmesan crust. But I had the gut feeling nothing would compare to a chewy, fermented, doughy crust.
Nope. Nothing does. However, if you can't/don't eat wheat/gluten, and you keep as low carb as possible - this is an OK substitute. At least I can have all the yummy meaty cheesy toppings I like! 
Brat simmered in beer and onion then grilled, homemade sauerkraut, and a baked tater because it’s too hot to stand around to make mashed.
Summer salad greens the protein is tuna salad and hard cooked egg. I think most of the other toppings are identifiable. The homemade bread is a rosemary olive loaf which is very tasty and has an easy soft texture.

Mmmmm that's my kind of salad, Merry. The bread looks excellent! I gotta skip it sadly....
A little late, but this was Sunday
brunch and dinner.
A couple chicken tacos.
Cajun braised chicken gizzards in dark roux gravy, black pepper grits and skillet cornbread . This is tasty if I say so myself!

Nopales!
Grilled B/S chicken thigh salad with bleu cheese crumbles and little chicken skin chicharrones for crunchies. The salad had multicolor grape tomatoes, black olives, hardboiled egg, avocado dices, green onion, red cabbage, carrot shreds, and homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
This brunch dish is leftover pastrami sandwich prepared with scrambled eggs and smoked cheddar.
Dinner is roasted chicken, greens and käsespätzle.

Made carne asada again, at the suegra's
Glad the pups have their beer.... 
It has been unpleasantly hot, so cooking hasn't been a lot of fun lately. Yesterday I caught a case of the clevers and decided to utilize some leftover roast chicken to make a triple batch of fried rice so I that wouldn't have to cook for the rest of the day. Not terribly healthy, but I did enjoy the reprieve from cooking in the worst of the heat. Being a bit of a simpleton, the inverted bowl trick never gets old for me.
Speaking of fried rice, it’s at 9 o’clock and not as beautifully plated as @Bramling Cross ’s. At 3, is a grilled chicken breast covered in a coconut curry sauce. This was a leftover meal.
Sliced steak quesadilla.
Did a crab boil for 35. My wife’s family had a reunion and a few of us went on a charter fishing trip and came back w a bunch of Dungeness crabs and a few rockfish.
Some of the group are sensitive to spices so the boil had garlic, paprika and salt. We then made a dirty butter w Cajun, old bay and a touch of Franks. That butter was poured over the whole plate.

Well, that little fellow (my son) is in his second yr residency at Vanderbilt Med in Nashville, and shortly starts his GI fellowship. So wow. I called it.
It was too hot to cook this evening, but not too hot to roll.

Jicama shells and one real tortilla, air fried fish, and some slaw
Now that's a great idea, jicama to replace tortillas! Thanks! I'm gonna try that.
@AzOr that is one of the very few things I dearly miss living on the Pacific Ocean - Dungeness crab. So nice to just wander down to the fisherman's pier and buy them right out of the big cooking pots. Hard to get in the middle of the desert, LOL!

Yeah they are pretty special. Quite a few people from the reunion had never tried dungies. The night of the boil, four of us shelled the extra crabs for over two hours. The next night we had crab pasta with homemade white sauce.

Make sure you have a mandolin, slice thin(ish). I also kept the slices soaking in water to keep them more pliable and then dried off before using. Lol, be cautious on the mando - I nearly sliced off a chunk of my thumb a few days ago on ours, sure bled a lot.
I hear you, Temptd2! When I moved to the Mid-Atlantic from the West Coast I was thrilled to learn that my grad school held an annual crab boil for the incoming class. That was my introduction to Chesapeake blue crabs. As a Dungeness fiend my first impression of blue crabs was, "WTF are those?! I thought we were having crab?!" My classmates had a hoot teaching me about blue crabs.

Easy dinner
Not really cooking but I made a batch of hot honey. I love this stuff. Pizza, chicken etc, but my favorite is vanilla ice cream w honey drizzled on top. That heat starts to tingle your tongue, forcing you to shove more ice cream in your face- good stuff.
I stubbed a toe this AM, so a burger cooked inside with slaw and baked beans.
Hoppy,
The burger looks great! I am sorry you stubbed your toe.
Now that there is some good toe-stubbin' food.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I hope it's not too painful.
@beermanpete and @BongoYodeler, thank you, the toe is bruised, still pretty sore, and I’m certain I’ll live to cook more good food and brew more good beer as well. 
Today we grilled some chicken and corn. Austrian style potato salad (Erdäpfelsalat) on the side.

I googled Australian potato salad. It seems like the only difference is cilantro, or is there something else that makes it different? Looks delicious!
Sunday brunch was homemade sourdough rye, kielbasa and a nice basted egg.
Dinner was a slow roasted Boston butt. Had some slices with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies before putting it back into the oven to become fall apart tender for pulled pork.
I didn't use cilantro. There is onion and chives. I used homemade chicken stock and homemade white wine vinegar.
This is the recipe I used:
