His and Hers steaks.

His; New York Strip.  Hers; Rib eye.  The steaks are marinated in garlic-Worcestershire, then grilled at very high heat and topped with a horseradish-green onion sauce.  The skin-on red potatoes are mashed with sour cream, butter, and ranch.

Mixed greens and peach salad.

Mixed greens including Swiss chard, radicchio, and arugula tossed with sliced doughnut peaches, sesame seeds and dressed with a fresh honey-balsamic vinaigrette.

Bumps on a log: revisited.

Bumps on a log:  Celery stalks with blueberries and dark chocolate floated in a peanut butter-honey-cinnamon mixture all dusted with confectioner's sugar.

Old Bay meets honey.

Chicken breast spent a few hours in a brine, then butterflied and glazed with an Old Bay and honey mixture, then grilled and re-glazed.  Corn bread stuffing with leeks and thyme.  Green beans and fresh corn.  Belly is happy.

Rabbit

Rabbit  thigh and tenderloin;  pan seared, then braised in an oniony lemon-garlic chicken broth reduction.  Served with rosemary potatoes and carrots.  Me thinks it may be time for a new camera, some lights, and maybe a photography lesson or two.
