Dinner tonight
Pork roast: Delicious. Perfectly cooked, and my seat-of-my-pants brine was awesome. Nice and salty, tang of clove, and the mustard was just a background note that brought it all together.
Orange-chipotle sauce: My lips and tongue are burning, but in a good way. Since I was only cooking for myself, I tripled the hot peppers to made it spicy to my tolerance, not to normal human tolerance, and that was the right move. Clovey, cinnamoney, smoky, with that hint of maple that goes so well with savory. Oh so good.
Roasted brussels sprouts with bacon: After a failed trip to TJ's, where I could not find any chestnuts, I said screw it and decided to go with just brussels sprouts and bacon. Little salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon and rosemary just for the smell. It's great, but then it's brussels sprouts and bacon. How could it not be great?
