    Oh no... you know what happened the last time it snowed up that way:

      Well, it's stopped now. It gets down to `16F tonight, so we have a 2-hour delay in the morning to let the ice melt. And so poor kids don't freeze to death and their bus stops with temps in the teens before sunrise with no coats.

        Had some leftover dough so we fired it up again last night. Big improvement in our dough slapping technique. Starting to get the hang of it.



        My daughter came up with this next one. Olive oil, moz, figs, bacon, caramelized onions, gorgonzola, and arugula. It was incredible. Great blend of sweet and savory.

          Dang that looks pretty good... My offer is still good to take that smoker, that is just taking up room in your garage, off your hands!

              The arugula pizza looks super delish.

                Ok, I cooked some steaks today with the sous vide and seared them in the new pizza oven. I used my new low profile cast iron pan and heated it to 675 degrees. I tossed on the steaks with a long set of tongs:



                Things were popping and sizzling and smoking. Having never done this, I assumed that the radiant heat would sear the entire steak evenly, but after a bit I noticed that the bottoms were generating a more distinct crust. So I used the tongs to turn them over and then after another 30 second or so took them off. They definitely got seared:



                There was still pink in the middle but they were more done than normal (my wife loved them, ha!). I think with this high heat you have to be really careful with the timing. If I were to do it again, I would use a lower temp, maybe 550 degrees and rotate them more quickly. On the other hand, if that is the case, then I don't see a real benefit over my portable Iwatani grill. That thing heats up in 2-3 minutes and does a great job. So I think I am going back to the Iwatani and will stick with pizzas for the pizza oven. This is the model I have (15,000 BTU):

                Furthermore, I can use my new wider cast iron pan on the Iwatani and have more surface area for searing, so win-win.

                  Did a four-cheese white pizza last night. Outstanding.



                  Also I finally remembered to take photo of a bottom for Walter. From an Albuquerque special:

                          Ack! Was this a new year's resolution? If so, this is almost as dumb as that yohio thread exerting everyone to be happy.

                                Hang in there Husky.... just think about how skinny you'll be by summer and golf season, and you'll finally be able to fit in those lycra shorts you've been eyeing at Khol's.
