High Plains Shenanigans - w/ Pr0n

ShadowDriver · May 18, 2019

For those that may be cornfuzed, the High Plains refers to a portion of the country at a higher elevation (it's about 4300ft MSL here in Clovis, NM) as the land climbs up toward the Rocky Mountains. It's between desert and prairie... with a bit of scrub land and few trees (except where folks have settled).

So, there I was ("Where were you?") at work when The Outlaws asked for steaks on the grill for Friday night.

Not one to back down, I brought home baby bellas and made stuffed mushrooms as a starter.

Hit a couple of ribeyes with Oakridge Santa Maria / Carne Crosta, then added some steamed green beans and a really nice spinach/strawberry/walnut/blue cheese salad from Mom-outlaw.

Tonight, the Outlaws asked for some UUNI/OONI pizza... as it's been a while since I last exercised those skills.

Traditional Margherita Pie:

Really nice "Shroomer" Pizza a la Roosevelt Brewing Co down in Portales:
- Homemade ale braised baby bellas really make this one...

Outlaws wanted a dessert pie with sliced apple, blue cheese, and honey. Yes, please!

More shenanigans to come. CINCHOUSE comes home tomorrow night.

The mice will play while the cat's away!

Thin blue and kind regards.

This is how I decompress: cook for family and (after-the-fact) share it with you folks.

Thanks, Josh. I've been wondering why it's been so long since I last fired up the OONI.

That food looks EXCELLENT and i will take a slice of those pies any day of the week. I spent a few years in Portales and learned about the area. I only knew of one of the landmarks by its old and disgusting nickname, but it is a crazy story. Between that and Blackdom there is some cool history in this barren part of the world.

Great looking spread Marc, maybe pass on desert, but I would hammer that Salad.
For a long time my Wife added Strawberrys to ours

Cheers, Titch.

I'm not a sweets guy. That said, the greens with the blue and the fruit really offset the "heavy" hand of the parmesan on the Shroomer. (That's my own heavy hand, thank you).

That said, we're also a huge fan of raspberries or blackberries on the front (Heck, yes!).

Norm · May 19, 2019

Everything looks delicious Marc, well done!

Stingerhook · May 19, 2019

Yeah Marc that's some fine cooking.

ronbrad62 · May 19, 2019

You are definitely the "High Plains" Master. Nice offerings all the way around!!

Big George's BBQ · May 19, 2019

YUM You definitely have not lost your skills
What do you stuff your mushrooms with I take the large bellas marinade in balsamic and EVOO cook on the grill and place tomato and cheese in the cap- soooo good

I mix up some mayo with some granulated garlic, onion powder, and good parmesan cheese (pretty much all to taste).

From there, it's a good basis for experimentation.

Now, that is what I call a good time.

Looks great! Marc! :thumb:

SonnyE · May 19, 2019

OH!
