We had a roasted chicken with roasted potatoes, roasted heritage
(yellow) carrots and steamed asparagus. Luckily we had lots of cranberry sauce left over from Christmas, and chicken is always infinitely better
with lots of cranberry sauce.
I had a large slice of my coconut cake and that squashed any thoughts
of supper tonight.

Gawd no. I hate the canned stuff. This was home made. I love that stuff
with chicken and turkey.

I think you are supposed to have some real food before dessert. I hope
that you enjoyed the decadence.

Well, that certainly is an opinion. Here's another one:
Meat is always infinitely better without fruit.
My wife would agree with you. I love cranberry with
turkey and chicken and applesauce with pork.
My wife won't even try it.

This I can grok. But mint jelly on lamb I cannot.
Actually, mint jelly on anything, but I digress.
And to round off the discussion, what about
ham and pineapple?
I have sometimes thought
to make a pizza but instead of pineapple
and ham all around, purchase a can of
'fruit cocktail' and then demarcate angular
and perhaps radial divisions to try out,
for example, ham & peach, pepperoni & pear,
bacon & maraschino cherry, &c.
Unfortunatley, my wife always vetoes this
idea, and she's the only one of us who knows
how to make pizza crust.

Me too on the canned. Comfort food of my youth. The 'real stuff' just doesn't taste right to me.
I don't want it on my meat, but pork and apples go well together. Last night I made fried apples with my pork roast. No, I don't want them
with my steak.
I sometimes put some grapes in a salad.

I was raised on home made. I just can't get used to that sweet canned
stuff. I prefer cranberry sauce to have a nice tang to it.
Speaking of which, it is time to think about lunch so I am thinking a
chicken sandwich with cranberry sauce.
I was raised on the jellied, not whole berry, canned cranberry sauce.
Love the stuff and it still has a twang to it. Homemade is ok if that's
all you have and I've had some pretty good homemade versions as well as
some simply awful ones, too.

Many years ago there was a TV show called Over Easy hosted by Hugh Downs and they used to have recipes for seniors. One of the recipes involved pork shops stuffed with pitted prunes. It was a one pan meal. Slit a pocket in a nice thick pork chop and pop a prune or two into it. Seaons with salt and pepper and sear it on both sides and add a chopped potato and half an onion. Add some apple juice and cover it for about 20 minutes. It was really tasty.

I like my canned cranberry slice on the side with Turkey, and tolerate pineapple on ham but I pull it to the side and eat it as a small side.

No apple sauce with roast pork? Prunes and pork? No
duck a l'orange? Persian chicken with apricots?
Pity.

If he survived heart surgery he deserves wings. I had a consultation
with a dietitian after my heart surgery. She told me not to ever eat
Buffalo wings. She explained why they are so bad for you. The fat in
chickens is under the skin and there is a lot of skin for the small
amount of meat. Then it is deep fried in fat which has likely been
heated and cooled repeatedly so likely to have some transfats. Then
there is the sauce, which is high in fat and salt. If that was not bad enough, there is the high fat and high salt blue cheese dressing and the beer.
To never eat wings translated in my head as eating them only once a
year. I did that for a couple years but then one time we were at a
place and the wings sucked. They were such a disappointment that I
figured they just weren't worth it.

Do you have a food processor? This recipe makes excellent dough
and is very easy. But it requires advance preparation.
https://www.seriouseats.com/new-york-style-pizza
You can freeze the excess, but I find the dough is more difficult
to work after defrosting. Then again, I don't make yeast dough
often enough to get really good at working with it.
My husband requested a "I survived heart surgery (again)" pizza
this week, so I think I'll be making this on Friday.

Wings were always my favorite until some jackass in Buffalo screwed
up the market. Many years ago, you could buy a 5 pound bag of them
for 5 cents a pound. I once went into a KFC and they had a special
of a dozen wings for dirt cheap.
Suddenly, Buffalo Wings became a craze and the sell for premium
prices. I like them, but I'm not paying close to $3 when thighs sell
for 79 cents.

That's why I switched to condor wings, they last much longer!

Oh, do you mean the low - cost German airline...???
I traveled with my 7-months pregnant wife and my two young children. After 9 hours my youngest finally fell asleep and laid his head down in my wife's lap. He was careful not to put the bottom of the shoes on the seat, only the sides. A male flight attendant approached my sleeping wife, woke her up and reprimanded her saying "Fuesse vom Sitz! Sie sind hier nicht zuhause" and then proceeded to repeat the insult in English "Put the feet down! You are not at home here!" We paid $7,000 for our flights, about the same as for 10 nights in all 5-star hotels in Frankfurt and 3 other cities in Europe on our trip. It would have never occurred any of the hotel staff to treat us this rude. Condor flight attendants treat guests like cattle. Never ever will I fly Condor again.
