I agree with you. But I had a bunch of it while I was slicing. LOL

Once they go ripe - you gotta eat them. Avocado salad for lunch today!

I was chemically inconvenienced by bourbon and had the munchies. Oh don't act like you don't get the munchies from drinking.
Diced up some leftover smoked beef, poured out some olive oil in a pan, dropped in some anchovy fillets, an obscene amount of grated garlic. Let it bubble gently.



Got the beef in there, let it get happy while I boil some pasta.
Hey this looks dull!



Aaaaahh, a hand full of arugula. Much better



Let's eat

Would love to hear more about the mushroom Marsala sauce

Easy!
Dice an onion,
Slice mixed mushrooms. Here I used shiitake, oyster and Bella.
Grate a bunch of garlic.
Ghee or butter in skillet, medium heat. Saute onions until tender, add garlic, season with S & P mix. Add mushrooms, increase heat to high. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Lower heat to medium,  season with salt again, add a good amount of sweet Marsala. Cook until most of the liquid is gone, add fresh thyme, mushroom or chicken stock. Let that cook down slightly then add a touch of heavy cream, reduce to your preferred thickness. Taste for season. Enjoy!

Don't worry about amount of liquid used but don't add too much. You want some fairly thick sauce.

My seasoning technique is a little unconventional. Everytime I add a solid ingredient when I'm cooking, I add a pinch of salt.

Pizza night
My pizza dough is really simple.  10 ounces bread flour mixed with 2 teaspoons yeast. Extra 5 ounces of flour set side for kneading.  1 Cup warm water, a squirt of honey mixed in the water, a teaspoon of course sea salt mixed in the water.
Mix 2 cups of flour with the water, then dump on a board and knead with SOME of the remaining flour. Dough should be slightly sticky and smooth.

Toppings: sauteed mushrooms (just until all the water is gone)
Halfway cooked breakfast sausage.
Secret ingredient Chinese sausage diced and mixed with cooked sausage.
Whole milk mozzarella cheese and freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Now, that's a pizza I'd drive for. What is your address?
