Sunday night adventures in Stas's kitchen:

(1) My woke AF dinner entree for the coming week: pork chops with raspberry-orange sauce (what red blooded American eats pork chops with freshly squozed OJ and raspberry jam???)

(2) While I was cooking, I listened to Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA LP for the first time in a while, and noticed a great couplet in the song "Darlington County": "Little girl, you're so pretty / Come with me and you can have your way." So contrary to the usual pickup lines, and coming from the Boss, I believe it. Not enough to turn me straight, but I was tempted.
