I don’t recall whether I’ve shared this before but my wife and I have a regular Saturday night ritual. Saturday night is steak night. Every Saturday we have approximately the same dinner: steak, baked potato, and a vegetable dish or salad (occasionally both). We split a small steak, no more than about 4 oz. for each of us, split a baked potato, and I usually prepare some sort of vegetable dish.
Last night’s vegetable dish was green beans and cherry tomatoes. I started by blanching about a half pound of fresh green beans for four minutes, then drained them. I then sauteed about twenty fresh cherry tomatoes in olive oil and garlic until the cherry tomatoes just started to brown and added the green beans, continuing to saute them for about two minutes, then turning the heat off and covering the pan until I was ready to serve. That’s it. It’s simple, delicious, and very pretty, the green beans still bright and the cherry tomatoes adding color.
That and a glass of wine makes for a darned nice dinner.
Sounds lovely. I’ve missed your recipes.
Sounds lovely to me too. Guess we’re both Mid-Westerners.
I just found this recipe:

You, know, Mr. Schuler, you often complain of pain. You might consider the Thumper, a chiropractic massager, as a tool that you and/or your wife could use to help you:

I bought one for my mother to help release mucous caused by COPD. Just a thought. It’s not expensive.
Why don’t you start another additional blog. Mr. Schuler? Call it Saturday Dinner. Your commenters could talk about casual topics. Guarneri could talk about rehab, Andy could talk about the road, etc. You know I always have a story.
My wife uses something of the sort. For me such devices are torture. But thanks for the thought.
Diluted horse liniment? Hot baths?
I’m trying here.
And I appreciate it. No. Neither of those do anything for me. Neither do NSAIDs. If they dope me up to the point where I’m incoherent, it helps but I’ve decided to live my life with pain rather than be absent from it without it.
Meditation?
Massages using pure castor oil?
Black Jamaican castor oil.

It’s hard to find your recipes. I thought you used to have recipes in a drop down link. I want to have access to all of them and browse.
