Remove the green stuff on the right side of the plate and replace it with chips for that authentic Scottish experience.

Yesterday was Mrs Zombie's birthday, so the annual tradition begins...
Amuse Bouche - Polenta with a Italian tomato sauce (made by an actual immigrant Italian grandmother, and the mother of one of our players), topped with salmon roe
Appetizer - Fried calamari rings, with a spicy tomato sauce dip.
Salad course - Baby greens with blue cheese crumbles. It was supposed to have fried shallots but my sous chef had to leave and the shallots were left in the oven
Main course - Smoked spaghetti in a light cream wine sauce, with pancetta and wild mushrooms
Dessert - Chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache, served with homemade ice cream
...and the damages
Don't worry, she's not standing at the sink doing dishes. She's licking the ice cream mixer clean.

Made some wagyu tri tip for the games and some blueberry lemon zest scones for the adults and chocolate chip scones for the kids.

I've never made a pizza with sliced cheese that looked that good. Well done.

When you say "Local Indiana Scallops", all I can think is that they pulled something meaty out of Lake Michigan, somewhere near Gary.

I’ve been looking at recipes to make this. I believe you have inspired me to do so soon.
Ribeye and green beans
The one I had was great, but it was.missing the French Onion soup punch. My next attempt I'll add white wine and some Worcestershire sauce.
What?? Don't you make the soup from scratch!?
It's fresh sliced mozzarella cheese from the deli. This was the first time we made our own dough too vs buying some premade kit.
Next time we need to add a bit more flavor to the dough. Maybe more salt and garlic powder.
In that recipe it was onions, flour, beef stock and some spices. It was more like a French onion gravy. I'm going to adjust to more of the soup ingredients.

Top notch cook on that ribeye! What method did you use?

Out for snack after dinner last night! Rainbow roll for dessert?
@Poker Zombie Actually nothing fancy, I use a carbon steel frying pan, about 5 minutes on each side, then 5 minute in alluminuim foil for a short rest and cut.

I have been toying with picking up a carbon steel pan. This won't help me save any money...
You are right, but they are great and not as bad to maintain as people say. I have a couple that I bought years ago and they are fantastic. If you clean it quickly after using it and put it back on the stove to dry it, they are ready to go. Also leaving in AZ rust risk is really not an issue...
