I will not rant yet again about my love affair with caramelized onions ( Hodgepodge and The Onion) - which I suppose are kind of like my new cereal and milk. I will, however, rant about the combination of the savory and buttery steak, sharp blue cheese (or Gorgonzola) and sweet onions that play off one another in perfect harmony. A forkful of these three components is so completely to die for that my pace of consumption halts from its typical wolf mode to the way a cow savors a pile of grass with, well, the opposite of urgency. I always poke fun at the commercials where a woman dressed in silk takes the most painfully slow bite of a chocolate morsel and then stares away in space for a ridiculous 15 seconds. But, though entirely unintentional, it is quite possible that I actually look like that when I eat this feast. Wow, did I just admit that?

Roasted Asparagus
Peanut Butter Pie
I decided at about 4:00 sitting at my desk at work that I wanted this dessert to put the exclamation point on our celebration that same evening. As such, I did a speedy online search to locate a simple, but acclaimed recipe and took a second to peruse the reviews. Why not garner wisdom from those that have done some homework? And if you find a recurring theme from their commentary, look at it as a probably reliable and free nugget of insight to make your life a bit more delicious and perhaps easier. The nugget I located was to jack up the peanut butter quantity and ease up on the whipped topping to give it some more richness. Seemed like a no-brainer to turn up the decadence, so I made this modification. Given the time crunch, I took the suggestion of the recipe and opted for a pre-made chocolate crust at the store. http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/no-bake-peanut-butter-pie/Detail.aspx
