    Grilling some jalapeno-lime marinated skirt steak. Trying to use what we have in the garden (so many peppers) before the first frost hits. Lunch was leftover brisket for sandwiches. As @butt [great name] said, grilling season is on the way out so trying to maximize the few weeks left.

    The best argument it seems a lib can make is “The Courts.” If he wins (and crucially the Senate flips) he can at least replace Ginsburg (87) with a much younger justice. With some luck, maybe Thomas (72) or Alito’s (70) seat too. Maybe also fill Breyer’s (82). Arguably, since FDR, the courts have enacted more liberal policies (abortion, gay marriage, LGBT rights, desegregation) than any other branch of government. Basically, the argument is not that he will make things good, it is he will prevent things from becoming very very bad.

    Tomato Pie [picture]

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup cornmeal
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp salt
    • Stick chilled butter, cubed
    • 1/4 cup sour cream (I used light, but either should work)
    • 4 tbsp ice water (cold works fine)
    • 4 oz Neufchatel (low fat cream cheese, regular cream cheese OK)
    • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 1/2 onion, very thinly sliced
    • 1 tbsp oregano (have used dill and also works)
    • 2 or 3 large vine ripened tomatoes, sliced (can use cherry or whatever is on sale)
    • 1 egg, beaten (or butter)
    • 3 tbsp torn basil leaves (dried basil works too or Italian seasoning)

    Directions

    1. Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and butter together by hand in a mid-sized mixing bowl. Leave some clumps of butter.

    2. Mix in sour cream and water with hands. (will be a bit sticky on one's hands, this is OK)

    3. Wrap the dough in cling or plastic wrap. Use 2X as much wrap as one would think to use to wrap the ball of dough. Put in fridge for minimum of 1 hour (have had good results when leaving in for 90ish minutes, have not left in longer than that)

    4. Preheat oven to 400 F (recipe also works when halved so probably could use a toaster oven if one lacks a a full oven)

    5. Saute onion and oregano (or dill) in oil for a few minutes until a bit softened.

    6. Put three cheeses and the sauteed onions in a small bowl.

    7. Slice tomatoes and salt (try to remove as many seeds as possible. Bit of a pain, but looks and tastes better).

    8. Place parchment paper on cookie sheet (works well with pizza stone too). Place dough on parchment paper, leaving plastic wrap on top (prevents dough from sticking to fingers). Push through the plastic wrap to spread dough in a circular shape with roughly 1/4 in thickness (can use rolling pin, hands, or side of a wine bottle). Remove plastic wrap. Fold or push in dough to create a little crust.

    9. Microwave cheese and onion mixture in 30 second intervals (stir with spoon between each interval) until a dip like consistency is reached.

    10. Spread cheese and onion mix on dough.

    11. Blot tomatoes with napkins or paper towels and put on top of onion mixture.

    12. Brush crust with egg (can also use melted butter)

    13. Bake 30 - 40 minutes until crust begins to brown (I like to broil for a minute or two at the end to crisp up the crust and get a little char on some of the tomatoes. Be watchful if using parchment paper because it can eventually ignite under the broiler)

    14. Sprinkle basil on top.

    15. Can serve fresh out of the over or when cooled.
