It’s not bad, it’s not great either. I likely won’t make it again unless it’s for a specific reason, it’s good poverty food though, can make with a few cheap ingredients. DH was not a fan. And he never complains about my cooking 🤣

I have a story about a friend who decided he was going to make spaghetti for everyone one night. Yes he used jarred sauce but I'd have dealt because he was truly trying to learn to cook. So at some point he decided he needed to fancy up Ragu. He added a bunch of ground cloves.
To this day it will come to mind occasionally and I'll message him saying I saw some Ragu and thought of him.
He also had read about people eating sweet meats in a fantasy book. So he tried cooking steak covered in honey. Why yes there was smoke involved.
I did have him cooking basic stuff fine after a while. Taught him a simple soup/stew that you could just toss everything in a crockpot and eat later. He lived off that and the breakfast burritos I taught him to make and freeze for a long while. At least it was healthy and not junk food.

Beef roast, asparagus spears with a garlic butter sauce and homemade applesauce.
The roast was so tender it shredded apart.

My wife and I had pear sake, noodles, vegetable medley, chicken, filet mignon, sea scallops, lobster tail & salmon.
Today was our 34,000 years wedding anniversary.
I took her out to Fukuyama's Japanese Restaurant, we had a great time.

Last night we had leg of lamb, cut into round steak and tenderized. I seasoned it, floured it and fried it in hog lard. Garlic mashed potatoes and gravy, that was good! Tonight is leftover fried steak and potato patties. The dogs just got the leftover gravy.

tonight was an easy one: I browned some skin-on chicken thighs, then covered them with pesto and baked them YUM! Had some steamed broccoli and cauliflower with it.
