Or sautee the filet in a little unsalted butter, and add some herbs, lemon and capers at the end. Delicious.

*bows down* Sounds like I know what I'm doing tonight for dinner. You must be one helluva cook. Cheers.

Oooo post pictures!

I'm making surf n turf tonight, I'll try to remember to post as well.

I forgot to take pictures, but it was absolutely delicious. Tomorrow I'm going to try doing it a little bit different, but will definitely be taking some pictures then. Just had so much going on today.

BTW, your surf and turf looks like it is to die for. When are you inviting all of us over for grub!?

Oh... My... God...

Anderj and Ophie... Your food looks perfect...

It's almost a shame to spend an hour or two to prepare it and present it on the plate, just to totally wreck it in <10 minutes.

Well at least you can spread the joy by sharing the pictures!

I have to stop looking at the main thread... Anderj's food always makes me so hungry... then i realize that i only have some yogurt and sandwiches at home...

I see cheese and more cheese and is that bacon on the pizza? Come on give us a full photo Zoe. Don't be a tease.

Oh bacon... if only

It's actually minced meat with cheese, tomato soup and different spices We used to make more traditional pizza for a while, but then once we tried this one and ever since it's the favorite

I didn't post a full pic because i had one like that already in the thread and it looks the same

My memory's been failing me. But I think I've seen it before.

My grandma used to make pizzas when I was really young. Like when I was 7 maybe. She doesn't do it anymore because it's a hassle. In fact she's trying to keep most of her food simple. She's getting on her years.

Hmm in my opinion pizza is fairly simple... We have one on each Saturday ^^

No oven?

You don't need an oven to bake a pizza?

Well we do... But i didn't understand if you meant that you don't have an oven or if you asked whether we have an oven or not ^^

Ah.

I meant we don't have an oven. We used the stove for everything, except for owning a rice cooker and a slow cooker. So my grandma uses the stove to steam overnight rice and it usually becomes really soft.

Oh okay, then i get it why is it a hassle

Patrick, you fried the cheese?

detailzzzz....

Planning to make some sirloin and baked potatoes with red wine (merlot or sauvignon probably) soonish tonight. If it looks good I'll post.

Don't tell me you've never had fried cheese before, Lisa!

Fried mozzarella is one of my weaknesses.

One of my favorite dishes is baked portabella mushroom with mozzarella or asiago cheese, bell peppers (assorted colors looks the best), maybe some random herb/spice and topped off with balsamic vinegar. Sooo good.

Yeah, I guess you'd call it frying? Not sure what else it would be. Just got a griddle pan really hot and cooked each slice for a couple of minutes until they were golden brown.

Griddling maybe? :p

But yeah, it makes the halloumi nice and soft.

Oh totally, I love that stuff. I could just tell from Patrick's picture that it didn't look like it was battered and deep fried. It looked pan-seared, griddled, whatever.

Ooooo, that kinda reminds me of when you get grated parmesan and "griddle" it and flip it over to make crisps. Holy crap those are heaven. You can even mold them:
