    MFR is out of town so tonight is bachelor night. All of which means I can fix something spectacular she would not like. Since I brought back a couple of my very favorite Oregon pinot noirs and have lots of cherries (my very favorite snack), I thought this was in order:

    Seared duck breast with cherries and port wine.

    You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you skip the duck and put the cherries in a big snifter and pour the wine over.

      I love cherries. But if I eat more than 2 I get the galloping twitches......

      Not me. I can eat a couple cups at a sitting. Cherries, peaches, blueberries, blackberries. All yum.

        No. Just no. 😆

          Looks great. I used our air fryer over the weekend for some delicious brined chicken, and today I'm using a similar brine to air fry some random frozen pork I found in the freezer. I'm using some good maple syrup for the sweet part of the brine.

          I don't have one of those yet. Might consider it. Things turn out well?

            We have been underwhelmed but the brined chicken was a high point. We tried fried chicken once and meh.

            Education is extremely important.

                It's 2 pm here, but the plan is for tri-tip and grilled veggies; leftover apple pie for dessert; and Legent whiskey to wash it all down with.

                  Chicken shawarma, most likely.

                      Once I had my nap I was not in the mood to cook a spectacular dinner so I went freezer diving. Found a ribeye cap roast I had forgotten about. Probably in there at least three years. Defrosted it, cut it into three 4 ounce steaks and pan seared one. Ambrosia.

                        Fried catfish, fried eggplant and tater salad.

                        Yeah, heart healthy. First thing I've had fried in two weeks....

                          Fried is not the same thing as unhealthy. It all depends how you fry it.
