only because it's easy...

Yet more steak.

This is dangerously becoming our default meal.

These new grills are doing nothing good for our health or waistlines, but it's oh-so-convenient and tasty.

iceberg wedge
I think that if people knew what went into blue cheese dressing, they'd stop ordering it. I made this with some blue cheese that was hanging around our fridge and it's just decadent. The benefit of making it yourself is that you can make it as cheesy as you like.
[iceberg lettuce, blue cheese dressing: sour cream, mayonnaise, heavy cream, blue cheese, white wine vinegar]

steak & mashed potatoes
We tried to replicate a classic steakhouse meal, and I think we did a pretty good job. One day we will buy real steak knives (we're using my paring knives as they're the sharpest and most easily wielded), and that might enhance the experience.

new grills!

Get used to seeing variations on this. Since the new grills have gone in and become operational, we'll be spending a lot of time down there.

rib-eye, zucchini, tomatoes & onions
Having a grill is really the best!! We're still getting used to it, so these weren't quite so fiercly seared, but pretty tasty nonetheless. The quality of beef at Ralphs is ok, but I can imagine that a nice aged piece of beef would really be great.
