Dinner, In the News, and Enjoy

Dinner - Last night's dinner was simple yet superb: Laura selected an especially fine-looking tri-tip at the market. I seasoned it with garlic-pepper seasoning, ground black pepper, and Pappy's. Laura washed a large Idaho potato, wrapped it with a damp paper towel, and placed it in the microwave. I preheated a Calphalon grill pan to medium-high, sprayed it with Pam, tossed the steak onto it, and covered it loosely with a "tent" of aluminum foil. Laura washed a quantity of broccoli and tossed it into a Calphalon pot of boiling water. She cooked the potato for five minutes while I tended to the steak. I had shopped and cleaned the kitchen prior to Laura's arrival at our nest, and I felt weary. She gracefully assumed the completion of the dinner preparation. She cooked the potato for an additional 5 minutes, drained the broccoli when it had cooked for 7 minutes, and finalized the grilling of the steak. The dinner was superb.

One Is What One Eats

One Is What One Eats - Laura continues her vacation in Tucson, where she is visiting with friends and family. I miss her, of course, as do the kitties, Zeus and Thor. We must eat, however, and with Laura away, dining chores fall fully upon me. Last evening’s dinner was tasty indeed. It featured a New York strip steak that I marinated overnight with minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic, and ground basil. As the steak grilled, I sautéed sliced white mushrooms and baby sweet peppers in extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and Pappy’s seasoning.

The kitties enjoyed their usual dry cat food. For a dinnertime treat, I gave them a serving of Seafood Medley kitty treats. I have no photograph of this to offer. I did, however, photograph last evening's dinner!


This morning's meal was not nearly as succulent as last evening's meal, yet it was very healthful and tasty!

I enjoyed a banana, four huge strawberries, and a toasted Jalapeno bagel with cream cheese.
