How is it possible that the same hand manages to produce two frankly unwatchable pizzas and then serve up a plate of pasta that looks good and strangely also well plated....

Perhaps you could make us all a good pizza to watch?

Pizza is eaten in a pizzeria, I prefer to cook. And for this reason the difference between the two plates, for being made by the same hand is remarkable. After all, it's better to know how to make what looks like a very well cooked and presented pasta dish than a pizza that leaves many doubts! In the end, it's better to know how to make pasta than pizza.

Well, my pizza gets great compliments from all who try it and as for its appearance, several folks on this site as well as many on my cooking group page seem to think it’s rather appealing. Are they all wrong? Is there something specific you object to?

@imec I like that there’s always a bottle of wine to go with these meals!

It's the difference between "eating" and "dining".

I'm surprised a certain poster hasn't criticized the pairings.

The Pit Barrel is a great device, no doubt! Best bang for the buck for smoking

Truth. Had mine for 7 years - it's never failed me and has turned out some fantastic meat.

Good gravy (pun intended). Please tell me you are a trained chef (compliment intended).

And your pizzas looked amazing too.

Thanks but, just a guy that likes to hang in the kitchen.

Damn, that could make Vegans play for the other team. In the closet, of course.

Thought about becoming a vegan once - move to Nevada, become a Las Vegan.

Made some Stromboli last night. (Responses expressing ill will toward poor old George gratefully declined)

Ahem @imec it's been over a week since you posted a meal pic. We're going through food envy withdrawal here.

Damn that looks fine. How do you bake your naan? And if the answer is in your custom-built tandoor oven, well then... you know... just lie.

Made creamy mushroom soup a few days ago

Thanks! I'll give you a link to the recipe I used. I baked it by throwing a slab of cordierite (I normally use it in my oven for pizza) on the gas grill and cranking all burners (including the rotisserie burner) to high.

Homemade Naan

Homemade naan bread is soft, chewy, and simply delicious. It's an easy side, perfect for pairing with any meal.

Yours look like naan should look. If I had only her pics to go on, I wouldn't have gone near that recipe.
