mj's bizarre creation of the 'Confessions' thread to confess that he ate Subway reminded me we might want a food thread. I'll leave his thread as is, but it seems like that should have just been a food thread. In Flush's opinion. I have nothing interesting to say about food at the moment, but I'm bored so here's a new thread.

Can confirm there should be a food thread here.
Along that line--I have attempted to make deep dish pizza a couple three times in the last couple months. Homemade sauce, dough, the whole works. First time the dough kinda tasted like something out of a Pillsbury can but this last time the dough was much closer to something you'd get at Lou Malnati's.
Highly recommend trying this at home if you're a deep dish pizza fan.
I happen to like the taste of dough out of a Pillsbury can, TYVM. Although tbf, I only use the thin crust variety. It's probably not actually that good when there's a lot of it, but it makes a perfectly cromulent vehicle for toppings/sauce/cheese if you're looking for cheap and quick pizza at home.
I have never even considered making homemade dough. Sounds like way too much work when you can get pretty decent store-made dough at every grocery store. But I am impressed with your efforts, and pleased to hear that you en-joyed your results.

As a poor, I chose to go with a strip loin rather than a tenderloin (also they didn't have any tenderloins, but I probably wasn't gonna pay for one anyway; that's more of a special occasion meat in Flush's opinion). It came out pretty delicious, but I have 2 complaints:
I took it out of the oven when my probe read 122 degrees (it suggested 120 for rare). Maybe I let it sit too long before slicing it, but it was at least medium rare, maybe even more like medium. Kinda disappointing, but it still tasted good. That probe is usually very accurate, so I don't know what's up with that.
The sauce/gravy made enough for approximately 18 people. That was a little wasteful I guess, but it was delicious.
I served it with wild mushroom risotto and roasted Brussels sprouts (carrots for my wife and children; they don't eat sprouts because they're... children).

Balls, how bout a couple minutes on that?
That looks yummy. I may try that recipe.
TY. Twas. In the interest of full disclosure, I made one other modification to the recipe. Rather than a simple salt and pepper seasoning, I went a garlic and herb crust. I minced several garlic cloves with fresh rosemary and thyme, mixed it with olive oil to create a paste, and covered the outside of the roast with that. Really made for a nice outside texture/flavor when I seared it. This also left some yummy browned bits in the skillet, which helped to deglaze the fuck out of that fucking pan to finish off the sauce.
