Oh damn this was good. I slow cooked the Chuck Roast in Sweet Baby Rays BBQ in a La Cruset for 5 hours at 250* Steamed then sauteed the green beans in olive oil with fresh chopped garlic and sliced olives with salt and pepper then topped it with Feta. The beef just fell apart no knife needed.

For a second I though that was pork liver. :drool:

Pizza on point today. Prosciutto, yellow peppers, habaneros, pepperoni, onion, black assholes, so good.
Also, made with imported Czech wheat flour that I ordered at a great risk from Long Island.

I caved. Stopped and got some jerk pork and rice and a box of patties. Haven't been to this place in a few years after moving away.

My friend Amy came home from her Hospital assignment at the VA in the Bronx. She brought us these kick as Jamaican patties. The delicious kind with the Orange dough (Tasty Brand). Pimento cheese from the 6th ave deli also. OG Kush... Bagels from Essen.

Sourdough starter finally started sourdoughing, the smell and taste of the wild yeast is very pleasant. I am trying to rapidly grow it today so I can bake the first sourdough pizza later tonight.

I recommend autolyse (pre-hydrating without actually kneading) your flour when making any kind of sourdough bread (pizza or otherwise) as it 'relaxes' things when you get to kneading...

Thank you @Montana rider . I managed to do without autolyse today, but I can see how it could help.

One thing I've learned about sourdough is that it is very sensitive to temperature. Too cold (68-70F) and the wild yeast won't do jackshit, too hot (slow cooker on low) and it gets crusty. That said, the sour flavor and mild aroma of the starter are fantastic, and so is the baked product.

Here's my 1st attempt at sourdough flatbread pizza today, with roasted chicken, bacon, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, sweet bell peppers and a bit of leek for wifey. I can and will improve but it was suuuper tasty and we both overindulged tonight. Burp.
