Glad to see the place still offers the low sodium special! Looks tasty!

Went back to Lupita in Lisboa and ordered a carbonara pizza for takeaway as the wait for a table was extensive - went to a nearby park to eat and was approached three times by different folks wanting to know if I wanted coke - sadly for them, I don’t drink soda:

I think we will take our son and his friends to the mall and maybe get Kuwa conveyor belt sushi for supper. Exciting!

Fun that you had the same carbonara pizza for both luncheon and supper. Yum.

Grass fed prime tenderloin tonight with hen of the woods mushrooms. Reverse seared the tenderloin and did the mushrooms with ghee and Sauternes. Drizzled Villa Manodori dark cherry balsamic.

Cast iron? It looks perfect.

so it’s kind of a process. I do a quick dry brine - salt then refrigerator on a wire wrack for 2-3h. Then reverse sear - oven at 225 until 120 internal temp. Pull and rest for a bit, then sear on carbon steel (or cast iron) with ghee (can do a high smoke point oil), turning every 20-30sec. Let sit on the rack another 5 min when searing is done, pepper to taste.

really need a dry surface to get a good sear.

I find that when working with chocolate and cream, it's better to go low and slow. Depending on the consistency desired, a double boiler is highly recommended.
