There are places you don't ask what the fresh catch is.

Fascinating recipe. Could have edited the video (it drags a bit), so jump ahead when you're ready to see the next step.

The video won't embed here; just click on 'Link to video'.

Jeez. That is by far the worst cooking video ever.

[Mik]

I couldn’t get to the end because I hated them so much for dragging it out.

[wtg]

It looks really good. The finished product, that is. The video is bad.

Crispy cauliflower cheese shell filled with bacon, onions, mushrooms in a cream sauce, topped with some more cheese. What’s not to like?

[Mik]

Indeed. I don’t suppose you have a recipe?

[wtg]

The ingredients are listed in the description but no instructions.

I’ll take one for the team and try to put together an actual recipe while watching the video again.

Wish me luck. And don’t wait up for me.

Cleaned out a corner cupboard last week and ran across the pasta machine that I haven't used in many years. So, I made pasta earlier today, cooked it up for dinner. One forgets how easy it is and now I'm retired it's no big deal to make pasta around noon and have it ready for dinner. It will remain secured to the work surface for now, where I intend to use it regularly.

Nice!

I'm baking today, which I NEVER do. But we have to bring a dessert to a neighborhood patio crawl. So...

Cookies are my Kryptonite. I cannot resist them.

Plum torte! The little Italian prunes are in season, and they make delicious tortes. My recipe is a mashup of NYTimes, Smitten Kitchen, and Food52.

Plum delicious!

@AdagioM I think I read that the NYT recipe for plum torte remains their most popular recipe EVER!

[Steve Miller]

The plums right now are spectacular!

Looks great!

[AdagioM]

@RealPlayer There’s a good reason for that! So good.

My version subs in cornmeal for 1/4 cup of the flour. Nice texture.

[Mik]

I saw the NYT recipe. Yum!

I'm marinating Huli Huli Chicken for the grill tonight. Started marinating yesterday. Should be delish.

That sounds like a great idea.

[AdagioM]

@Mik Just a little more rustic!

A bit like a polenta cake

I have an abundance of potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes from my garden. So I made potato, green bean, and tomato salad!

I used some Fishwife anchovies...they are delish!!

aside: It's October. I don't ever remember picking green beans in October. It's been in the 80s for the last several weeks...

Plum torte!

Thanks for the link, I am definitely going to try making it

[wtg]

That plum torte recipe is great. I've made it with and without the cornmeal and we prefer the no-cornmeal version.
