Imagining the guy asleep right now who before bed said "the world really sucks right now but at least my favorite team, the Dallas Mavericks, still has their star player Luka Doncic" before pulling on their Mavs Man sleeping mask.

He's going to have a great morning

Giving myself a pat on the back. This is the best pizza crust I’ve made so far. Still learning so room for improvement, but overall pleased. Pics show progression from homemade dough to finished product. Recipe and description in alt. 🍽️ #homecooking #pizza

I really wish I could do pretty plates, but for now happy to settle with ugly delicious lol. This was mushroom and truffle risotto, topped with shelled, freshly steamed Dungeness crab. 🍽️ #homecooking #foodsky

So here is mushroom-stuffed roast pork loin with gribiche. Forgot the pic of the sauce. 😖 I should’ve cut the pork into thirds for the stuffing instead of just half and trying to jam it all in. Cooked to 145 and rested for 10 min, but I’d probably go to 140 next time. 🍽️ #homecooking

Today we have sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. Crust crispy and airy, but middle soggy. Precooked crust for 3 min on pizza stone in a 550 degree oven, then topped and finished for 9 min. Sauce too watery, should’ve just crushed the tomatoes and not used the juices. 🍽️ #homecooking

Gotta share the bad as well as the good. Made lemon poppyseed muffins, but forgot to add eggs to the batter. 😖 They came out a little denser than usual, but not too bad probably thanks to the cake flour I used. Also was flakier than usual and didn’t rise or brown as usual. #homecooking

This is so disappointing. I guess I’m the naive one since I believed it when Apple said they’d value privacy. www.cbsnews.com/news/siri-ci...

Christmas roast came out pretty well! Actually, pretty medium rare. Little too salty on the edges but otherwise tasty. 🍽️ #homecooking

Homemade salmon eggs Benedict for my elderly neighbors. Not sure why the husband chose to put it on a chair before taking a picture lol. 🍽️ #homecooking

Y’all, this is a great time of year to go through canned items that are within a few months of the expiration date and donate what you can to your local food pantry. They do amazing work! #giveback #ifyoucanthelpdonthurt #feedpeople #food #foodie 🍽️🍜 #payitforward #foodpantry #warmbellies #eat #give

Tonight I present Japanese chicken curry rice bowl, with chicken breast, onions, carrots, and potatoes. A lovely accompaniment to a great Packers v. Lions game. Very traditional NFL tailgate food. 🍽️ #homecooking

Dinner tonight: Mongolian Chicken, which is velveted chicken (breast this time) quickly stir-fried with bell pepper and onion. Crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and local king mushrooms for aromatics, and a primarily oyster sauce-based…um…sauce. Over jasmine rice. 🍽️ #homecooking

Woo hoo made it to the feed! My first contribution: Last of the Thanksgiving turkey added to fried rice. 🍽️

The last of the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers, in fried rice. Now, what to do with the cranberry sauce? #homecooking
