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.

Back from Houston

I wish there were something truly happy and surprising to talk about. We spent New Years Eve and Day in Houston, to see IKEA, the Rothko Chapel, and of course the old family haunts from the early 1970's. Tragically, we received news on the return trip that our Aunt Rosalie Grass, Stanton's little sister and the loving matriarch of a wonderful family, passed away this evening. I knew her as the adorable lady that impressed everyone with a lifetime of service and devotion to her faith. What impressed me was her absolute positivity - in my eyes, she was incapable of a hurtful word to anyone. - posted by Adrien @ 9:29 PM
