Veal Chop with Succotash and High-Toned Mac 'n' (Humboldt Fog Thank You Very Much) Cheese

When the kitchen's testing a veal rib roast...

And they give you "a rib" to take home...

And it's already perfectly cooked...

What do you do?

I pre-heated the broiler, set a rack in a sheet pan, carefully removed the bone and sliced the hugely thick chop in half, then broiled it for about 40 seconds a side... just to heat it a bit.

Next I warmed some plates until they were almost too hot to touch, and served the veal unadorned but for a sprinkle of salt, alongside some succotash...

and...

My latest obsession.  I know I've mentioned this before, but it must needs be repeated:  boil some ORZO, drain it and, while it's hot, add a fair bit of butter, salt, and a lot of pepper... and then toss in ridiculous amounts of HUMBOLDT FOG...

...Let it melt in and prepare yourself for joy!  Cheesy goaty moldy joy!

PS.  I can do this only because Charlie's generous co-workers gave him a pound of that glorious cheese!  I rewarded him by returning the veal bone to the plate for him to gnaw on.
