i got a stew going right now with pork shoulder and sweet potatoes and parsnips and red peppers and onions and dried apricots and garlic and aleppo pepper flakes and cumin and cilantro and white wine and i think im gonna put some greens in there near the end For My Health but its been simmering for an hour and i just tasted the broth and it is gooood. I went a little heavy on the aleppo flakes very cavalierly like "these arent even that spicy" but then i was second guessing myself worrying i might have ruined it but nope. its got heat but with all those sweet potatoes in there i think it will be pretty mellow by the end.

Made a nice prime rib dinner but I only ate a respectable single serving because I have a doctor's appointment first thing tomorrow and I don't want to eat too much and wake up feeling tummy achey. Which is unfair because I spent all day on this i should be allowed to give myself a tummy ache if I want to. But I digress.

Had some nervous energy to work off and my basil plant was kinda going crazy so I made pesto the old fashioned way and grilled up a chicken and some cherry tomatoes and made a nice little dinner.
