How’d this turn out?

Last night I made pork chops with this bourbon-brown sugar-apple topping. Mashed potatoes and green beans on the side.

Tonight, though, I'm making a call for delivery pizza.

Fuck yeah.

It turned out perfectly. SO fucking good.

I was listening to "Small Change" on vinyl while I cooked. I give full credit to Tom Waits.

Killer. Lots of aromatics: saffron, ginger, cayenne, cumin, etc...Nice kick and great for my head cold.

Sounds tasty

There’s nothing like that feeling of having a dish come out as good or better than you had worked it out in your head.

It's true. And it's not something I understood until relatively recently. I was never much of a cook/meal planner. But over the last few years my wife has really helped guide me to a pretty comfortable place. Still learning all the time, obviously. I think that never stops.

But, yeah, you're right. It's a great feeling.

Heavy cooking day for weeknight dinners:

Took a batch of chili out of the freezer yesterday and it’s thawing in the fridge.
