Stealing More Recipes
My new favorite cooking blog is Last Night's Dinner. She makes the greatest looking food almost every night. Tonight, I stole a recipe from her and changed it only the tiniest bit.
It is Halibut with at Tomato, Leek and Fennel sauce type thing. It was good. It would have been better if I would have been willing to open a bottle of wine, but I've been drinking Mojitos pretty exclusively and will be out of town 5 of the next 6 days, so it would have been a waste. I subbed White Wine Vinegar, and there was just too much tart.
I over cooked the Halibut a tiny bit. I do well with fish like Salmon that you can eat rare, there is a lot less perfection needed there. But I don't know if you can eat Halibut rare, or medium rare. I need to use this fish more, because it is so tasty.
Oh, and I need to learn to plate things better, this is obvious.

I did some experimenting this afternoon, with great success!
Steak and bleu cheese pizza.
Prepare a crust of your choice. Sear a cut of steak to medium rare (I used sirloin, on a George Foreman grill; the oven will later cook it some more), cut into cubes - remove fatty pieces. Mix a can of pizza sauce with garlic salt to neutralize sweetness. Spread on crust. Place steak cubes on sauce. Put crumbled bleu cheese in moderately light quantity on next. Spread mozzarella over it all, bake.
DeLISH! The bleu cheese melted and mixed with the sauce pretty evenly.
