Bricklayer Tacos

So I don't often use beef in this fashion because it's so expensive.  Don't get me wrong I like me a good steak here and there, but the price per enjoyment doesn't come close to pork.  Though I'm much more of a pork fan then Shannon is.

Anyways, these were quite good.  I think next time around I will add another jalapeno pepper, since it wasn't as noticeable as it should have been.  I had to adjust a bit, since I didn't feel like roasting tomatoes.

Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry

So I delayed making this cause I thought it would be so hard to make.

It wasn't.

Quite good.  Though I may not have layered it right, nor did I reduce the size of the puff pastry.  Joseph may have given me a little crap for using store bought puff pastry...  I admit I wish I could have had better puff pastry (without making it) because I did put $20 something in there of prosciutto and cheese.

Leek Mac & Cheese

So leeks vary quite a bit in price based on seasonal availability.  Luckily they were cheap this go round.  Sautéed long, it brought out some nice flavors to it, where it was good, even cold, which is how Joseph ate some as he was dropping off a boule for me to split and give to some friends.

Deviled Ham

So this is pretty much a spiced ham salad.  I used some of the Wild Yeast Bakery DSM sourdough, toasted.  So this sourdough is a bit different then the one I had previously.  Joseph is playing around with the ratios.  So it wasn't near as sour as the first one.  I suggested that perhaps he could do a mid-sour, and full-sour which has the added complexity of having the different processes for the same general type of bread.  Anyways, it was a nice counterpoint to the ham spread.

Greek Chicken Meatballs

Delayed.
