Took the week off to move. Finally prepared something in the new kitchen. 
 

Nice!
 

I haven't seen those cherries. Are they good and reasonably priced?

I'm too cheap to drop $20 for a jar of Luxardo cherries, so a few months back I bought some cheap maraschino cherries and replaced about half the syrup with brandy. I won't bother with that again.🤪

A friend suggested to swap out maple for simple syrup, and I like that too.

Yes they are very good. No they aren’t reasonably priced. But a jar goes a long ways! These were a gift from Princess #1 or I would have never tried them. But I wouldn’t be opposed to buying more when this jar is empty.

The lady that owns West Bottoms Whiskey was telling me that. I haven’t tried it yet.

This afternoon,

  Sous vide venison back strap with blueberry sauce. Boxed rice and ooof more wild asparagus. 

  This box of blueberries was so tart like really tart. Pat just put them in the freezer for later. Later was today and with some sugar turned into a yummy sauce.
