Got a new cast iron grate for Father’s Day. New pizza stone too to replace the one we shattered last year

Mrs Manic has been doing well at the farmer’s market.
This week’s highlights included a trip to the mushroom guy, so tonight was grilled portobellos.
Super fresh, and amazing looking.
I took a chance on fixing what ain’t broke and tried a marinade on them.
Spoiler: it worked just fine.
Tesla mushrooms sliced up over Tesla greens, and various ingredients from mars. Dressing is a vinaigrette with some maple syrup (her jam lately).
Amazing how much you can eat when not hungry when it’s good.

What passes for a balanced meal on bachelor’s night:
Non Tesla fat strip, leftover potatoes and veggie straws. Lol.
Was gonna be potato chips, but Mrs Manic pointed me to the lefties and I felt obligated.
And yeah, flare up, so it was more doneded than I intended.
Just that kinda day.

That butter doesn’t get into the grill and flare up?
From the other night
(I think- who can tell anymore???)
Found a recipe for grilled cauliflower steaks.
Tasty, but tryna keep a slab of cauliflower whole on the grill is a fool’s errand. Don’t do this.
Then another night, not tonight, lady called for Mexican pizza.
Quesadillas it is.
Half mushroom, half chorizo.
Lo and behold, mushrooms won the day. To be fair, they are local Tesla shrooms.

And the end product.
Salmon was a little extra done, but still mad tasty.
Paired with a shallot vinaigrette on greens and a cold lemon potato salad.
All many yummy, but would have been better to reserve some lemon to dress at the table.
How do I know this?
Cook’s Illustrated of course.
(@Patrick get in here).
It’s an amazing publication, imagine scientists nerding out on cooking.
I read their 5 page article on cooking with lemon. (tl/dr: lemon flavor terpenes(?) are fragile and short lived above room temperature. Add it at the end for best results).
So all their recipes are like that- about 5 pages long, detailing the scientific method they used in their test kitchens, trying every possible variation of a recipe and weighing the pros and cons.
You can nerd if you want, or just skip to the last page and make something awesome.
Check for access in your local library- I get access via Zinio.

Pulled out the skillet last night, keep forgetting to use it, since it was raining outside it was perfect timing
