Yes I do. The one in the middle was at a restaurant though

Cod
Cauliflower

Charred octopus with mango salsa.

A nice meal at Sfoglina in DC;
Fishermen Octopus
Grilled Callamari
Spinach Tonnarelli with spring lamb ragu.

All dishes outstanding; corkage $35 a bit pricey and they only accept it Monday - Thursday. 2007 Il Carbonaione was outstanding.

Tuna tartare 3 ways. The favourite was avocado base with tuna,wasabi and toasted sesame topped with a fried red onion/flour combination.Yummy.
Served with a nice albarino.

Crab & shittake mushroom ravioli in a corn lemon grass sauce.

Doing a rib roast on the pellet grill tonight, with some smokey potatoes au gratin.

Chicken flautas (fried chicken tacos topped with cream, letucce, queso fresco and salsa

Rice and beans

Made a Pepper Stout Beef yesterday, ostensibly for dinner last night. The chuck roast stalled at about 150* for almost two hours, which delayed everything after. By the time I got the beef pulled and the sauce reduced, it was after 11 PM. Guess what I'm having for dinner tonight? This dish really needs to be started in the morning, not the afternoon.

stir fried taro with beef tongue

Roast chicken
Roasted taters
Broc

Fettuccine Alfredo

My first try at tri tip. Used too a high a heat on the grill. Next time will be better.

Next time, try hot at first to sear and then medium-low to finish.

Thanks, I'll try it, but with my grill once I get it hot, it doesn't cool off quickly. I'd have to remove the meat after searing and wait five minutes with the grill open.

Ribeye on the grill with a salad and a 1982 Chateau Calon-Segur

Burgers and asparagus on the grill.

last night...First use of the grill this season.
I have a charcoal Weber. Don't care for gas and I don't care for standing outside in the cold. I know many of year grill all year 'round.
Anyway, Ribeyes.

Red, green and brown lentils with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and a chopped jalapeno pepper and a chopped serrano chile.

Funghi pizza
Quattro Formaggio pizza

Had a great meal with Ernie Els and crew last night

La Masseria - tons of pastas, fishes etc. Sorry they did not carry Ernie Els wine.

Last night prime rib caps pan seared and finished in the oven with a 2003 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (Le Vieux Donjon)

Bolly NV.

Bloody Marys.

French Toast with thick sliced bacon, good maple syrup, pan fried potatoes and properly scrambled eggs.

Breakfast for dinner.

You sorta did it the traditional Santa Maria way, which would be highish heat but over red oak, cooked to mr. It's tricky to nail that way and get tender because it's pretty lean and gets tough easily. You could get fancy and sous vide to r-mr or mr then sear and rest. The old ranch type people in SM would probably consider that too fancy for tri tip but it would work.

Last night at local place:

Hamachi summer roll - outstanding dish
1/2 roasted chicken with crispy skin

Wild mushroom flatbread, duck nachos and smoked wings while watching game seven.

Wild Alaskan halibut.

I much prefer Pacific halibut, as you incorrectly refer to as "Alaskan Halibut", absolutely, to it's southern counterpart, California Flounder, as many, mind you, refer to as "California Halibut", understandably!

Do, pray tell, tell us how you prepared this fine seafood, as I can assure I may improve your technique and recipe, mind you.

Additionally, if I may, I will suggest a "perfect" paring provided you reveal all side dishes, accompaniments, herbs and sauces, absolutely!

Cheers!

If you have multiple burners, just turn one off and move the meat to that side.

Real simple tonight, but still yummy. Carrots, snap peas, hummus, olives, baguette, fig jam, Fontina and Jarlsberg.
