It's Friday night! What's for dinner?

Pork chop and broccoli. The last peach developed a groady interior so had to make do with a plum.
Seeing the Boston butt post up there reminded me of something. Back in the day when I was learning to cook and be a good wifey, I settled upon preparing a roast for dinner. Figuring how hard can it be to shove a hunk of meat into the oven and leave it there until it looked like the pictures. I found a recipe for Boston butt in my trusty Joy of Cooking and set about finding out what part it was so I'd know what to buy. Looked high and low, even went to the library to search their cookbooks -- no luck; couldn't find a single mention of Boston butt.
Wasn't about to give up now. This was a challenge and I was going to climb that damn mountain. Finally it occurred to me to call the grocery store's butcher and ask, duh. I was a lot chattier in those days, so I related my long efforts theretofore to discover what part of the cow Boston butt came from, and could he please help me, pretty please? There was a long pause, and the man said very neutrally, "Ma'am, Boston butt is pork."
Live and loin.

Friday night again, just put on a boneless beef rib goulash stew for a 3-4 hour simmmer. Will make home made spätzle before serving.
Wine for the evening is rioja. Don’t ask me why match Spanish wine with Hungarian goulash. Call it international cooperation at its finest. Like this.

Because delicious wine goes with delicious food. Rioja and stews is a great match. I finished off the end of a nice Mencia last night. Absolutely great and only $10.

We are having Dragon's Breath grilled salmon. We had pizza last night (Papa Murphy's) so we didn't want to have it tonight, too.

Silly George.
Well, here we looked at Doordash but decided to cook a couple Wild Fork filets and
bakednuked potatoes.A recipe I want to try is sea salt crusted baked potatoes. Had one from Firebird's last week and it was fantastic. But it takes a couple hours, so not for tonight.

I've gotten away from nuking spuds. Nuking tends to steam them, whereas baking them, well, it bakes them. The texture is just a bit different, and I prefer baked in the oven - no foil, nothing.

It was good! Just the right amount of heat from the spices and herbs on the salmon. Had mashed potatoes and broccoli as well.

Great picture of the Finley!
Friday night dinner for me was salad, mixed with pear Gorgonzola, mixed nuts, wasabi peas, dried cranberries, crushed Sun chips.
