Since I have never watched or listened to an inauguration before, my record stands unbroken. Instead, I cooked dinner the new cooktop. Installation was completed yesterday and now I have to learn to cook on a gas stove again.

Dinner was carrots and parsnips in a butter/honey/mustard sauce, green beans, and very thin pork tenderloins seasoned with very little salt and a bit of pepper. Dessert was fresh strawberries with creme fraiche served on slices of toasted pound cake.
