My recipe called for olive oil but I wound up using half olive oil and half ghee.

It's true. The darker it is, the richer and more flavorful, but the less thickening it can do.

Interesting. Mine came out the color of the one on the top of that plate. My recipe called from making it the color of the circle in the middle which would have been the final stage. I couldn't bear the thought of taking over an hour and a half to make it though.

I had a pizza for lunch - ground beef - ham and mushrooms.

This place 'Pepperonis' in Duluth - It was sort of like funhouse - but I tell ya what - Even though it's my cheat-day - I'm still fasting tonight - that was a super heavy lunch.

Not the prettiest plate, but a tasty chuck eye steak, fresh peas, and fresh corn.

No worries (and thanks lewdog for pointing out my explanation). We constantly walk a tightrope between overcompensating for kid1's issues and trying to make him independent. I question myself often about it all the time. The funny thig is that food is one of his primary interests, so he will eat crazy stuff and loves to cook and watch food docs and such... He just has weird issues with textures (I think it has to do with fine motor inability to bite off and chew things). Tons of therapy but if I could get one OT who could teach the dude to eat withot making a mess and tie his shoes, that therapist would earn his/her weight in gold.

And yes: my parents would have said "eat this or don't eat" as well... And believe me... That's my first inclination which I constantky have to battle as I'm not inherently sympathetic to this kind of shit.

I think there's plenty enough regular kids without sensory issues, that have texture issues with food as well. My kid wasn't picky, but she had foods she wouldn't eat solely because of the texture. Like applesauce. My cousin's kids are 5x worse—or they're just very picky. My older sister was like that growing up. For me the shape of the pasta is part of the pleasure of certain pasta dishes.

Not sure what's for dinner, but since I've had to change my diet pretty drastically, the wife and I hardly ever eat out anymore. We've been out to eat four times since April.

And I'm apparently really jonesing for pizza, which is probably my favorite food. Last night, I had some full on food porn dreams about pizza. Closeups, slowmo, the works.

I picked up some sirloin steaks yesterday at Hy-Vee $3.99 a pound and I'm going to cook them in the cast iron skillet. Normally I would put these on the grill and cook for about a minute, flip once each side and they come out medium rare. Never cooked steaks on the cast iron before, recommendations?
