Can confirm :joy:

Lunch today at a new-ish Pho place one town over. We started with shrimp/pork fresh spring rolls. A little over stuffed but very fresh with a good peanut sauce. Spicy beef soup for me and a a pork/shrimp vermicelli bowl for DH. Both were very good, the pork was excellent and the heat in my soup was perfect, not overpowering. Thai basil, mung beans and 3 different sauces to add. He ate all of his, I have left overs which I will suplement with some left over grilled flank steak.



Dinner was grilled chicken thighs marinated in a gochujang sauce/teriyaki sauce combo, served with Thai cucumber salad and sliced tomato. (and wine)

I finally, finally made matar paneer, which has been on my meal plan for ages. I combined this recipe with this one and was pleased with the results over brown rice.

That pizza is perfection. I forgot - do you grill your pizza, have a steel, or a designated pizza oven?

What a lovely char on that pizza. Bravo!

Thank you! It was so good, we’ll have it again tonight. :yum:

Thank you!

I bake on a stone in an electric oven, set at 550 degrees convection. Preheat the stone for at least an hour.

Ok, that’s what we do, too. Maybe the dough recipe? Forgive me if you’ve already shared it :slight_smile:

I use Lahey’s No Knead Pizza Dough. It’s simple, and I’ve had consistent results.
