Thanks I am going to try that. I took the photo using my tablet. When I pick it up I sometime touch the lens so I probably dirty it in the process.

A tablet is a little heavier so it might be that too or a combination of wiping the lens as well.
Nice to see you here @ottawaoperadiva

We are in Kuwait until August. And Thursday is their Friday here. But this pig took a day of prep and two days of cooking. About 12 hours and we had to start the fire the night before. So, we had 3 nights of prep as well. And there ”might’ve” been some booze involved.

It IS labor intensive. And I am not skilled enough to build the box and all that went into it. My husband is the star of this dish. Because without him, we would not have had the pig.

OK, that is a sure sign of a GREAT whole pig party! Looks amazing!

A very recognizable dinner last night — Swedish meatballs with mushroom gravy, truffled mashed potatoes, and lightly-dressed tomatoes.

@articshark what a show-stopper of a WFD!!! I absolutely love the variety of sauces you made! A friend does a pig roast every October and I will try to remember to bring a few of the sauces you made when I go to it this year. His wife makes a heavenly chimichurri but having some choices would be nice.

I only cook pizza at home a few times a year since don’t really have the correct setup. But the best is a pan pizza, then once I have the oven cranking I’ll usually do a fake neo-neopalitan style, which for me means heating up a comal on the cooktop and finishing in a preheated, hot oven under the broiler.
Pan (pepperoni, pickled jalapeño, olives):

Love the video of the pizza in the oven with bubbling cheese starting to brown.
That is one of my absolute favourite things.

I can’t even begin to describe how awesome AND exhausting it was. I feel like I had a baby!

I choose two themes- Asian and South of the Border- for the sauces. I could’ve gone a Hawaiian route as well. But I thought I did enough!

IF I said I was the lucky one, I would sound totally like a suck a cheeseball. But it’s true.

A quick and easy dinner before Providence College’s game tonight (Go Friars; I am a native Rhode Islander and a huge basketball fan…I played point/shooting guard in high school).
Fridge dive found broccoli and lemons. And we always have garlic, onions, beans, capers, and pasta in the house. NYT’s white bean piccata pasta with broccoli was a no-brainer. I used whole wheat casarecce from a one-woman local bulk food operation. B added grated Parmesan. I gotta get ready for my game.
