[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The Fathead (Page 1 of 2)

Well, thanks to XCR who loves posting her food photos on Facebook, I finally made the FatHead pizza.
The true test is how it tastes. 
If it will cool off this weekend I bought a new grill pan for veggies to use on the BGE. I may try some shrimp in that. Heat index today of 119. |
|
So here's the scoop on this--
The crust is cheese, cream cheese and almond flour. I figured it wouldn't taste worth a crap but I couldn't have been more wrong. It's good--better than the cauliflower crust one as it tends to hold up better to having sauce put on it. The trick is melting the cheese on top without overcooking the whole thing. So I broiled it. Next time I'm going to "meat up" and put more stuff on top. It will need to be precooked but I'll broil again to melt the cheese. As for the onions: You should see how much garlic I put on this thing. Just trying to keep the vampires away and all. 
Waiting for the heat to break--it's 111 outside now and I really want to grill tomorrow. The rain has gone to our East and West and missed us entirely. |
|
We got a quarter of an inch of rain last night. The heat broke this morning.
Spent an hour or so at the Farmer's Market. Squash, zucchini, local red bell peppers. Fresh Shrimp from the gulf. Two pounds flank steak from the local butcher shop. Pioneer Woman marinade. 
Hope you guys are preparing to eat well on Father's Day. |

I gotta work. Probably grill myself a nice steak when I get home. I'm going to fire up the Egg at about 6. Hopefully the weather will be pleasant around that time. I'm going to get to try the new grill basket so I'm hoping the veggies turn out nice. Mmm!! 
Worked great cut thin and put on a soft taco wrap. |

Quoted:
Looks great! Nice looking lobster as well.  I ate a few of them with my taco. I wish the marinade had more bite to it. I threw red pepper flakes in there but obviously not enough. 
The cheap grilling pan I bought worked well for these. $7.99 at BB&B. Much easier than using a skewer. |

Much easier than using a skewer. Those look great! Part of why I love living on the coast and working in New Orleans. I can't get away from shrimps, and it's a problem worth having! I get what you're saying about skewering shrimp, but may I ask, do you use one skewer or two when do it? Not saying don't use the pan, use what works! I just would tell anybody, if you're going to put a shrimp on the barbie, for goodness sake use two skewers so they shrimp can all be flipped at once and not spinning around like drunken sailors. |

When I skewer, I use all I have--four. These shrimp were so big I doubt I'd have used but two. This is the first time I've bought from this vendor. But he will be seeing me again. I paid the same for these as I do at Fresh Market and his shrimp were larger than theirs. |

Quoted:
Where are you getting your seafood around here? You in DeSoto? There's a guy at the Hernando Farmer's market who sells fish and shrimp from the gulf. I paid $12.50 for a full fillet of redfish, and $8 a pound for huge shrimp two weeks ago. There's also Paradise Seafood who comes to Overton Square in Memphis once a week. He sells by the pound and has a huge selection in season. |

Yes. It's gotten pretty big in the last few years. Saturday morning on the square. Quoted:

Is that the market that they setup on the square on the weekends? Yes. It's gotten pretty big in the last few years. Saturday morning on the square. I'm going to fire my wife. She goes there about twice a month, and has never mentioned seafood goodies.

I am going to have to check this out. So you people have been crashing my farmer's market and I'm there almost every weekend in a Glock or DSU shirt and nobody says a word? Really?? I'd post the map of the market but my photobucket is still FU'd. I'm on the mailing list so I have a list of the vendors and their locations. |

Quoted:
If there's not a Farmer's Market in Tate county, I know why. I'd say a good third of the vendors at the Hernando one are from Tate county. Quoted:

No I have never been, I always speak if I see someone in a Glock shirt though, we gotta stick together

So apparently Photobucket has issues uploading from my phone only.
Here's a map of the square--Booths 85 through 94 are where the bulk of the meats are--beef and seafood. The Ice Cream lady is also over there (Bliss). EDIT: If you don't like the pricing at the grass fed beef guy's booth, I HIGHLY recommend Red Square Meats beside the doughnut shop and Farrell Calhoun Paints in town. He can custom cut you a ribeye for about $20-25. It's generally where I get mine at if I don't get by Fresh Market during a sale.

Sorry we can't get it to y'all any cheaper I don't go north enough to make a seafood run for our northern members.

Sorry we can't get it to y'all any cheaper I don't go north enough to make a seafood run for our northern members.$8 a pound IS cheap by most standards in this part of the state. Fresh Market sells theirs for $7.99 a pound when it is ON SALE. Paradise charges more for theirs--but they have Royal Reds and other kinds. |

Since I didn't cook this weekend (had to get my roots covered yesterday), I can't leave any photos.
However, I did find a great shower cleaning hack last week and I'm impressed with the results. 1 cup Dawn 1 cup vinegar, warmed enough to where putting your finger in it doesn't burn you. Put in a spray bottle, and roll the bottle to mix. Cover shower and scrub with a scrub sponge. Let sit 30 minutes. Rinse slowly with cold water. I swear, this has my shower cleaner than it has been since I moved in. No residue, no streaks. |

At least I do attempt to clean it.  . I see a lot of bitching in GD about women who don't cook, don't clean, and don't put out.
You know, "the trifecta of fail." Quoted:

You know, "the trifecta of fail." I laughed the first time I saw someone in GD use that term. Seriously, I'm a bit OCD about cleaning, and this little concoction works better than Tilex, Soft Scrub, or Scrubbing Bubbles. All those left a residue on my fiberglass shower. It does smell though. |
