Pork loin
So other than the fact that they totally cheated when they sold me this (it's two loins, stuck together to look like a single one, which is why I had to tie it together), it came out pretty well.
I rubbed it down with salt/pepper/sage/thyme/cumin, and then seared it with my cast iron pan. Once it was seared, I put it into the oven for an hour to roast. The end result has a bit too much cumin flavor, but was moist and tender and all that good stuff.
I decided to pair it with some cider stewed apples (choppy choppy, fry in a bit of butter, then add miscellaneous spices and about a quarter cup each of cider and woodchuck. Cover and let sit until you're ready for them.) and cheddar mashed potatoes (which I could have cheddared up about 40% without much trouble).
Nom nom!

Shrimp!
This actually worked out pretty well for being the first time I've cooked shrimp. I marinated the shrimp in:
Lime juice (2 key limes)
Vermouth (enough to make the liquid level reasonable)
Garlic (2 cloves)
Green onions (about 2ish)
Old bay (I don't know. Maybe 2Tbs? I didn't measure.)
I had 8 shrimp (about a half pound or so before peeling), so scale accordingly. Once the garlic mashed potatoes were done, I made sure the cast iron pan was appropriately "sear-tastic," and added them. I let them cook for about 5-10 minutes (flipping halfway through), but they were a bit overcooked. Still, not bad for the first time cooking shrimp.
I think this means that I'll have to try again soon.
