I realized that I never made pizza by myself. Which is weird. Then, since I seriously wanted pizza, I made some! First shot at pizza and man, it certainly won´t be my last! Dough and sauce are so easy to make too!

Home made pizza rocks! FYI there is a whole thread devoted to this wonderful delicacy.
 
We're brewing today, so dinner is leftovers - took the pressure-cooked pot roast, removed bones and extraneous "parts" and shredded up the meat, added it back to the mushroom gravy. It is now called "Beef and Mushroom Ragout" LOL and will be served atop panfried polenta rounds from a tube of ready-made rosemary polenta. Easy peasy and should be super good - things like that gravy/meat are always better a day or two later anyway.

Pretty pizza! Yes, pizza dough and sauce are a breeze and the results are worth every minute of effort!
 
I've a craving for Goan so I'm doing an easy one using pork tenders. Pork Balchao. Masala is garlic and ginger fried with cinnamon, dried chilies, peppercorns, cumin, and cloves. Pork goes in for a bit followed by tomatoes for a bit longer, the a little liquid to cover and a 30-40 simmer. After which pre browned onions, vinegar, and a little sugar will go in.

This is the pork after it had cooked in the masala when I added the tomatoes.

Finally had a quiet weekend where I wasn't going non-stop. Yesterday decided to do turkey dinner with the chilly, wet weather - definitely hit the spot.

This morning make a sausage & cheddar omelet with some more sausage on the side.

Masstoberfest was yesterday so I smoked up a ton of BBQ.
Two briskest went on at midnight

Two pork buts went on at 8 when I wrapped the briskest (should have gone on at 6).

It's not a BBQ without sausage.

Wow, the food looks great and thanks for the last picture! What a cool crowd to have together and it's just great for me to see faces for people I "talk" with almost daily. Thanks Paul!
 
Brewed yesterday. All day because my stovetop doesn't boil a large batch as hard as I'm used to on my burner. I brewed extra so I can have some hop loss!

And during the boil I made up a batch of Zuppa Toscana for my daughter's boyfriend. She told me his dad is a homebrewer. His mom dropped him off at our house, my wife opened the door and his mom steps in and says, "I SMELL HOPS!"

Then she came into the kitchen to introduce herself and check out my homebrewing. If this batch recovers from the bonehead mistake I made, I'll have to share some.
