This takes distressingly long to make -- 22 minutes in convection oven.

That's minute as in 60 seconds, not minute as in tiny.

Leftover, I mean, moved forward scalloped potatoes (on the sidebar)
Baked beans that started out white beans but turned reddish brown along the way (on the sidebar)

Frozen pork loin thingie whatchamacallit. Pounded just a little because I like hammering things.
Pasta left over from previous day, dried on the counter
Tomatoes on their last leg
Spinach from a bunch purchased last week
Totally overdid it with chili powder, this loin was hot.

spaghetti pesto pecans tomatoes

Pesto came in a tub. Come to think of it, so did the tomatoes, small but not cherries, still on a branch inside a plastic box, they lasted a week but they're not going to be around much longer. Pecans, because I like them, heated in microwave for .45 minute.

Trying hard to not over do it with vegetables -- promotes leporidamorphia.

roasted duck

The duck was brined and roasted on low for hours until meat began to pull away from bone. Finished on med high heat.

Honestly didn't know what we were doing so simply roasted it unstuffed over water -- the water to collect excessive oil if there was to be any. No vegetables, no herbs, nothing but the brine which contained a large amount of dried herbs, chiefly rosemary, and an old piece of ginger, grated.

This plate of duck pieces might not look like much heaped unartistically, but I tell you the flavor is addictive right past it becoming cold. It's very hard to keep off it. I'm already imagining a million things to do with these pieces starting with eating them straight up. Cold. Right out of the refrigerator. Using fingers. Right now.

Dressing; olive oil, lemon, with a speck of Dejon
Salad; Romaine, tomato, avocado, mushroom, cucumber, feta.

The meal looked like this.Robb made mashed potatoes like this.

All three things are cooked separately in the same little pan.

A warm plate shows you know a thing or two.
Cook potatoes before eggs, they take longer to cook and longer to cool.
Warm tortilla a few seconds.
