Interesting! That's the first time I've seen a chop with cherry preserves, although I know pork goes very well with fruit like pineapple, apricots, apples, etc.

We had Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.

That’s coming up here soon…first the pot pie, now the cheesesteaks - you should just send me your menu so I can copy it.

I got it from an internet presence that called herself Ol-blue. She had a lot of simple recipes that added something extra. A lot that worked well when camping, also.

Pear and Gorgonzola Risotto is quite common in Italy, especially in the North. Someone add walnuts as well.
I only added balsamic glaze for an unusual variation

Pear and Gorgonzola I’m familiar with but not in a risotto, better get myself to northern Italy!

At the beach. Found a local place that got a trip advisor award last year. It was a dive. Good food. Large portions. Good service. Had a crawfish pasta that was very good. Wife and I should have split it. Sister in law got the fried shrimp dinner and couldn’t eat it all. Brother in law had the sword fish and he ate most of it but could not eat it all.
