    I went out today. I boldly went where nobody (from this property) had gone before. I risked death to get fresh food.

    Like BREAD.

    I spread mayonnaise on two slices of floppy white characterless BREAD! And slapped on two slices of bologna that tasted of tires (cut to fit, I wasn't raised in a barn). On the BREAD! The BREAD! And chopped fresh iceberg lettuce, bane of vegetables! (Okay, second runner-up bane after kale). I had mustard but was too impatient to slow down for it. I cut the sandwich in half (on the diagonal, of course, thrilled that I hadn't forgotten the essentials). The whole thing drooped in the middle when I picked it up, just like old times!

    Ah, God . . . heaven. Heaven, I tell you. I nearly slid to the floor with my back against the kitchen cabinet from sheer cross-eyed bliss.

    I hesitate to ask what you had for your dinner, loath as I am to force upon you the awareness that whatever it was, it perforce failed miserably compared to my own.

      Aw, Friday, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

            Tonight's dinner: bullshit!

            I do this sort of thing All. The. Time: look in the fridge, find shit to get rid of, make a meal.

            Tonight it was pears and chicken breast. So, add in some veggies, thyme, vinaigrette, brown sugar, serve over rice. Perfect bullshit "recipe."

              Grilled strip steaks with mushroom demiglace. A wonderful Janesse Cotes Du Rhone I bought a few years ago the has developed into an incredible wine.

                Last night it was chicken schnitzel.

                Tried a new recipe for potatoes:

                https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Crisp-Oven-Browned-Potatoes-350913?utm_campaign=yummly&utm_medium=yummly&utm_source=yummly

                INGREDIENTS

                3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
                1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
                3 tablespoons olive oil
                Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

                PREPARATION

                Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in upper third. Butter a 3-to 4-quart shallow baking dish.
                Peel potatoes and thinly slice (about 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Toss with butter, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to dish and cover tightly with foil.
                Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and increase oven temperature to 450°F, then continue to bake until top is browned and crisp, about 25 minutes more.

                          I had the jumbo lump crab cakes from Whole Foods and grilled some zucchini with garlic, lemon zest, and a splash of balsamic.

                            Good idea! We have been grilling zucchini lately and should give that a try.

                              @89th here’s my recipe. I don’t bother with the salt or pepper (it has red pepper flakes already and who needs more salt?) and I use just a splash of balsamic, added on the serving dish not the grill.

                                    Looks great. We're having Steakhouse Blue Cheese Burgers, corn picked this morning and a caprese salad. Weather is gorgeous, so dinner on the deck.
