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.

Internal model: pitch classes 0–11, intervals from root. Note names are pragmatic (flat keys spell flat, sharp keys spell sharp) — occasional spellings will not match strict functional theory. Core scales carry curated character/usage; raw-tagged exotic scales carry verified interval data only and are not given invented jazz-usage claims. Compatibility is computed by chord-tone containment, then ranked only where a hand-authored association exists.
