My son is home from Africa for a wedding and his girlfriend is here with him.  She is a pescatarian, so we've been eating a lot of seafood this past week.  Grilled up some Sea Bass, Halibut and Salmon.  They were downtown last night, so the Mrs. and I had some smoked chicken breasts.  My wife, who would eat beef everyday is going loony.  Good thing there is some steak on the horizon next week...

Red wine braised short ribs of beef.  Disaster!  After the ribs were cooked and placed in the oven to stay warm, I got distracted while reducing the braising liquid.  I returned to the stove to find the liquid reduced all the way to dried black char in the skillet.  Necessity being the mother of invention, I found some teriyaki sauce, poured it over the ribs, and made a meal of it.

Spinach manacotti, pecan pie al a mode,

If you look at CNN map, it shows Dorian passing over our house!!  Oh $hit
