Thanks Johnny, I just opened a thread today talking about how we all cook our pizza and asked what others use for an oven. That pizza of yours is spot-on & a perfect example of how we all can put deliciouspull pizza with or without a high end oven. as long as you get the results you wanted. That looks like a pie that anyone would be proud of, good job!.

Turkey meatloaf with leftover aji verde tossed in and cheese inside and on top, baked sweet potato with butter, broccoli with oo and herbs, and peas with basil oil. Was good!

@ChristinaM; looks like you have chile chops, including Aji Amarillo (based on a much older post, and shout out @WeezieD!
I need some help. Looks like I’m growing at least two varieties; maybe three. The most prolific so far is “Baby aji Amarillo” from Artisan seeds; moderately hot, and moderately sweet. I initially intended to make and freeze paste, but read that I should peel them, so I might save that for the Aji Amarillo “grande” and generic Aji Amarillo . The "baby " Aji Amarillo seem too small to peel, sweeter, earlier, and prolific. I’m thinking of making a fermented hot sauce.
Do you peel yours?
Yum. Your pic has me craving meatloaf.

Missing my cooking mojo after a summer of guests and eating out way too much.
Tonight’s dinner was mixed legumes (green garbanzos, green and red lentils) with cherry tomatoes and herbs. Plus corn with butter and chile-lime salt.

Fried chicken, corn on the cob, Mrs H’s cornbread. And a big dollop of HP BBQ sauce.

Sorry - they weren’t that variety. Hubby thought he planted poblanos, but these have no heat at all and are pale yellow-green. I subbed yellow pepper plus habañero for the aji amarillo in the recipe.

I don’t think it’s unnecessary complications - but it does allow others to find info about those restaurants when searching at a later time. Someone who lives in NJ isn’t going to search the entirety of HO for a restaurant in Perth Amboy…they’re going to search the New Jersey board. And if a phenomenal meal was posted on WFD, the review and pictures won’t be seen by later users.
Which is why I suggested the actual ‘review’ or dinner and pics be posted on the appropriate locale board, but a linky-link and brief description can be posted here on WFD.

Your meal looks heavenly, Eli @paryzer.
I always enjoy reading about my former home state’s restaurants in my old stomping grounds of northern Jersey. Things have definitely changed since I left in 1983…or maybe my parents (and later I, when I was out on my own?) couldn’t afford the “nice restaurants” that I’m sure were out there. I’ll have to ask Mom the name of the (probably closed) seafood restaurant that was my parents’ favorite - and the first place I was served an alcoholic drink at a restaurant :::whenIwas16yobutIwaswithmyparentssothebartenderdidn’tcareandbesides…itwas1976::: 
I thought it was a big deal having an “expensive meal” of seafood vs. going to the a local pub for steak or a burger and fries.

Linking that thread here for those who want to read it, respond to it, be jealous of it. LOL
Everything you say is correct, but conversations tend to veer off in various directions. The last thing I need is some Marssy or Pat Sully rapping me on the knuckles. And besides, when someone is searching for specific information, the search function is the way to go.

Again, if not posted on the locale thread, the search function is useless.
And HO mods don’t rap knuckles. They just move that portion of the thread to the appropriate board.

Much as I am in favour of restaurant reviews being posted to their regional board (I just think it’s tidier to have that protocol), HO’s search function works across all boards. So, if I search on, say, “Vancouver” (as i’m planning to visit the city), I might well get slightly different results if I searched forum-wide as opposed to regional board only. The problem is that my instinct is only to search the regional board, becuase that’s where I’d expect to find stuff.

I was unaware that HOs boards are searchable forum-wide. (Although with a “Vancouver” search forum-wide you’d get both Washington State and British Columbia, Canada! LOL)
I guess posting the actual review on the regional board is “cleaner” to me and, as you said, many like yourself are more inclined to search the regional board vs. forum-wide.
There are many other boards on this site. Moving regional specific posts to the appropriate board can help grow that area. When a board has no activity it becomes effectively invisible. Moving posts where most would logically search for them has many benefits. When this is done there does remain a notation with a link to the new home. This notation is made where the original post was and allows those interested to find it.
Guiding a new site is much like gardening. You can let things go willy-nilly but eventually it may become so overgrown that few will have the desire to try to explore. Or you can have a plan that allows for growth yet still maintains clear pathways. Transplanting and careful pruning are tools which help each area achieve it’s potential.

And with some other towns/cities, several more hits. Try “Manchester” and you’d get my regional centre and potentially hits in Australia, Canada, Jamaica, Bolivia, Suriname and 33 in the USA (and I’ve visited passed through three of them in New England)
