Pan seared chuck steak. Simply seasoned with S&P and some minced
garlic, cooked in a cast iron skillet in a small bit of oil. Medium
rare. Mmmm!

I made quarter fries. I par-cooked a medium size gold potato in the
microwave until almost tender, cut it into quarters and rubbed the
quarters with neutral oil, sprinkled with S&P and a bit of dried thyme.
Roasted it in the oven with the split yellow squash and zucchini (which
were also rubbed with oil and seasoned). Delicious!

Happy New Year!

I just ate some chili. Would have preferred it without the meat. Had only
cheese on top. Tiny flour tortillas with butter on the side. Was very good!
Need to take out some meat for tomorrow.

Do you make the base too?

Of course. I'd made enough dough for two meals a few weeks
ago, and froze half. Hard to say if it was any better or worse
than the first go-round.

Roast goose, spuds, carrots, sprouts and cauliflower, gravy/apple

Not only that, but pan cooking a steak gives different results
from grilling. A person might feel in the mood for one over
another.

Very sinful, but once a year is allowable. Basically, pastry blind
baked, layer of sliced bananas and then the 'toffee' which is
condensed milk which has been boiled in the can for about three hours
to turn it to a toffee like mix.

I asked because I want to start making our pizza bottoms with
sourdough. Ideally, I'd freeze them rolled out, ready to go. As
convenient as when you buy prefab pizza bottoms. Could be a bit hard
to do.

I didn't ask it to check on Cindy or to tell her off if she used
prefab bottoms, as you probably think, knowing you a little bit.

Nothing wrong with a bit of well timed, well dosed obstreperousness.

My condolences, lucretia. I know you're a big animal lover and the
death of this goose must have really upset you.

I make my own. If I make more then I need, I just freeze the dough in

would need to keep it flat to freeze.

It comes out fine.

That sounds good. We use home made pizzas as quick dinners when we
don't have time or energy to cook much, so I'd like the extra
convenience of ready to go bottoms. That probably beats prefabbers.

No point if you don't go our much or don't have outdoor activities. I
always check the weather radar before heading out on kayak excursions or
on the motorcycle.

I don't go kayaking or things like that. My outdoor activities include
sitting outside to read or occasional grilling. I still don't rely on
some weather radar site that isn't anywhere near me.

If you are just hanging around the house you don't need that sort of
weather information. I don't like to get caught in the rain. The radar
may not be in your neighbourhood but they are close enough to get cloud
and precipitation information. The weather radars I look at are 30
miles or more from me, but they are remarkably accurate.

The stuff I see on TV is in Savannah... I don't live in Georgia. I can
check weather radar on the computer but really, it's enough for me to
look out the window to know whether or not to fire up the grill.

Savannah is less than 50 miles from you, well within Doppler radar range.

The weather here is so flakey that we sometimes have to check the
radar before we go for a walk. We live on a point of land in Lake
Ontario, and rain or snow streamers can come in from either side of
the point.

Ah, well. Not everybody is a nerd. I forgive you for being normal.

One of my favorite weather sites just has a big graph:

<https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.2112&lon=-83.5999&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical>

The models used by the National Weather Service aren't very good at
predicting for this area, so I only use them for the next day or two.
For a longer-range forecast, I use this:

<http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USMI0904>

It has radar, so I can see what's coming.

I know where Savannah is, Dave. Doppler range be damned, the weather in
Savannah is not necessarily the same as it is here. Sure, it gives me a
general idea. Still, it might be pouring down rain there and sunny here
(or vice versa). The Weather Channel at least shows me conditions and
forcasts for Lady's Island, which is much closer to where I live.

Don't worry about it, Wayne. Doppler out of Savannah gives me a general
idea, sure. But when it comes to cooking outdoors the best indication
for me is to go outside. Even if it's not raining, it's been very windy
lately. I use a Weber kettle charcoal grill. I *never* use the grill
when it's windy.

Thanks, I think. Mostly I'm not desirous of getting soaked just so I
can say I cooked something on the grill. It's also been very windy.
It's really not a good idea to deal with hot coals when it's windy and
the house has wood siding. Not to mention all the "tinder" around.
Fallen pine needles and the like. I do keep the stuff blown or swept
off the driveway but I'm not tempting fate with errant sparks when it's
windy.

I get it, you're a weather nerd. Nothing wrong with that! You do a
lot more grilling that I do.

Gary once mentioned it's odd I use my grill on the driveway. I store
the Weber kettle in the garage which is right off the kitchen. I roll
it out to the driveway when I want to use it. It just makes sense to be
right near the kitchen when going in and out to check on things. I have
a patio but it's on the other side of the house. I'd be carrying food
through the living room to and from the grill. I don't see much point
in that since I eat at a table in the kitchen. Logistics.

I use NOAA on the computer, my husband uses the Weather Channel. I
find it so interesting to follow the weather. Really interesting
stuff to see what's coming, where it is going. We keep track of
family and friend's weather to see what is going on in their world.

we live right at the base of some foothills. There is a road that
travels along the base -- in and out, up and down. On a particular 20
minute drive you can go in and out of snow, sunshine, rain -- all in
the same trip.

The Rockies play hell with the weather forecasting here. The TV channels
waste time showing 5, 7 or even 14 day predictions that are rarely
correct beyond 48 hours.

Doesn't matter where we've lived, the saying "Just wait a minute, it
