I was about to help you with your dinner and then, after additional thought, I choose to resisit the temptation . I suppose the image below came to mind JUST about when I thought of "helping". This was a result om my attempt to do a "gourmet" grilled cedar planked Salmon dish. However, I have determined that such should NOT be attempted while consuming vast quantities . To wit.....................................
Thank GOD for Spam. ( and more vast quantities)
Acorn squash = melted butter in the center, then sprinkled with paprika.
how did you get those charcoal bricks to have the bone ribs? quite a trick!

I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

Dinner was a flop. Next time she cooks. I thought everything tasted great but my other half didn't like it. So for right now, I won't do this again. Even if dinner was great, it will fail if your date doesn't like it, no matter how long you've been married to her.
Joe, for many years my wife always said everything was great when i cooked. Since then, more honesty has come into our relationship even at the risk of hurting each other's feelers. That said, after many, many years and what must have been almost unbearable suffering whilst choking down my cooking, my wife...again, we are more and more honest with each other these days...said that my cooking sucks.
I thought everything i cooked was fine, but then my taste is different than my wife's come to find out...dang...only took 30 or so years before the truth came out. Downside? I don't get to think my cooking is anygood. upside? I don't have to cook anymore ! Think silver lining.
Of course you could keep trying but on a smaller scale. For example, i'm good at putting the cream in her coffee and bringing it to her in bed, i'm good at tossing a bag of popcorn in the micro and my piece de resistance? I can whip out my credit card at dinner faster than she can, plus i open the door and slide her chair like in the movies. Who knew !
Keep on keepin' on Joe,

Lotech,
Sorry I missed this coming out of the gate. I like to grill. So I would have started the squash and the chard on the stove, shocked it with an ice bath to stop the cooking and finished it on the grill to get a nice soft, smoky flavor with the grill marks on the squash. Then I would have finished it off with:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/4 teaspoon of fresh ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (divided)
1 teaspoon of fresh parsley minced
Heat it up in a sauce pan drizzled over squash and chard then a touch of the salt and pepper to taste.
This is also very good with carrots. In fact I think I would have gone with just the carrots and passed on the squash.
How did you cook the meat and what beverages did you serve?
