Steak was a wonderful medium rare with a lot of flavor and a good amount of heat (back of my head was sweating). Cobbler was great mix of sweet and hot with a bit of smokiness.
 
Buddy - that steak is a work of pure art! Does it just melt in your mouth too?

Thanks. I was really pleased with everything. The steak really turned out well.
 
Yeah Buddy, that's an awesome looking steak. That kind of searing with that much pink on the inside looks crazy good, nice job!!!
 
Yep, buddy - steak looks done to perfection. And I'm drooling over the peach cobbler. . . . where's the screen cleaner when I need it?
 
MGOLD - EPIC. That is a beautifully plated and prepared dish man. Oh, and let the baby wait. After he/she comes, your life will be filled with sleepless nights, spit up, dirty diapers, screaming/crying, and dread. Enjoy Your freedom while you can man!

Did somebody motioned BREAKFAST? :lol:
Shortly after I move to this area I was invaded for a breakfast by my next door neighbor who was so nice, patience and understanding of my short English. She was eager to learn everything about my culture, cuisine, language, history, geography that she did not noticed when I told her that Eastern Europeans don’t use potatoes for breakfast. Needles to say how surprised I was when a big plate full of food landed in front of me with cubed potatoes sitting right on middle of it. After that day Eastern Europeans do eat potatoes for breakfast. :rofl:

Beautiful Ela! Scovie's gonna be so proud of you!!!!

Your bread has magical properties, doesn't it? I can tell from waaaaaaay over here!!!!! ;)
 
Thanks CJ and everyone else. I LOVE to bake. I could spend days around oven baking,cooking,mixing,spoon licking etc. :D Whish to have more time to do that.
 
I'm hungry again already.

Oh, yeah, Ela - be sure to add the cooking methods to your final post. It's in the prep pics, yes, but needs to be spelled in the final, too.
 
Hey Ela, that post looks amazing. I just stuffed myself with sushi and that makes me hungry. Also, I ain't that worried about my future kid. I hear they aren't much trouble. Quiet, well behaved, and all you really need to do is give him a TV dinner every once in a whole and you are good. Just like a dog.
