On the Plate Tonight: Thursday, August 28, 2025

Bone-in ribeye, topped with butter-sauteed, sliced shitake mushrooms; steamed asparagus; baked yukon gold potato. Olive oil rather than butter over the veggies. Light salt, generous black pepper. Liberal use of Tabasco Family Reserve. I seasoned the meat with a dry rub of salt, garlic power, onion powder, and cayenne pepper about 3hrs before grilling, and let it get to room temp. Asparagus in the InstantPot. Potato cooked in microwave, and then a few minutes more in the air-fryer covered in olive oil. Rating: 65/100 Delicious but basic. That I wasn't actually cooking until 10pm (on a work day) probably accounts for the mediocrity.

8th of December

Today is the second of two anniversiaries that make me remember two great guys, John L. and Larry V. The other one is their mutual birthday, October 9. It's funny that my three main heroes are all Libras. I burned a sentimental CDR of recent favorite Beatle songs to commemorate the day, listening while taking a leisurely ride on Harrison Ave., through City Park., to the stadium where Mom saw the Beatles in 1964. There, I ate a Quarter Pounder.
