One of my degrees is in culinary arts,  the study of which, strangely, runs the gamut from accounting practises to ice sculptures and everything inbetween. I was mentioning in chat this evening what I was cooking for the wife and I so I thought I would throw up some pics. Cooking also helps me to relax if I'm feling wound up or stressed. The full belly at the end sure doesn't hurt either lol...

So the pictured dish is fairly simple but oh so tasty. pan seared then oven roasted boneless pork loin roast, oven roasted mini potatoes,and green/yellow beans with carrots, steamed  over water with a splash of lime citrus and pink salt!. The potatoes and pork are seasoned with rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper and the pork is finished/served with a reduction of the pan juices, apple cider, shallot, skyr yogurt, and a small pat of butter for flavor and a nice sheen.

The warm, happies, as my wife calls how your stomach feels, is the best relaxation tool ever, lol!

Actually, believe it or not, that wouldn't phase me a bit...I thrive on that shit. When I used to work in the industry it was common for me to show up with a couple helpers and turn out a 200 seat dinner thing for say a political party office after an election or some corporate event. When you know what you are doing and put a couple competant sets of hands in support roles doing the grunt work, you really can do an awful lot solo!

 
It’s called order from a 5 star restaurant and before she gets there put it in your pots and dishes
