Is Steak. . . Sexy? You Be the Judge.

This is a family blog, so don’t get too excited. 

People Magazine’s 2007 Sexiest Man Alive issue featured Bravo TV’s Tom Colicchio from their reality show “Top Chef.”

He has some funky ideas about what is sexy. But I will have to agree with his number one pick.

Come On, Sun

Did you “spring forward” this weekend?

I did. Only I forgot to spring forward this morning when it was time to get my kindergartner up for school. He was 10 minutes late.

Mom of the year.

I really, really want it to be spring. But all this snow that keeps covering my world is bringing me down.

I ordered some steakburgers last week to officially kick off spring grilling season. Even if it’s not quite time for short-sleeved tees and capri pants. (Are those still in style? I feel like I’ve been buried under an avalanche for 5 years.)

My steakburgers arrived on Friday and I did something a little different this time. I ordered the tried-and-true classic steakburgers, but also some sweet Vidalia onion steakburgers.

I like that oniony flavor and I’m excited to try these out.

My plan is to blast “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles up into the sky until it starts to brighten up. Then, I’m gonna slip on my capris, grill me up some steakburgers and enjoy my meal on my patio furniture.

I might have to wear my parka while I’m doing all this, but I’m going to think positive.

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes . . .

Home Sweet Steak

Well, I finally got my celebratory steak dinner last night.

My husband and I waited until we put the kids to bed and we (okay, he) grilled up 4 yummy sirloin steaks.

Even though our part of the world received 7 inches of snow yesterday (so bad that schools were delayed 2 hours this morning) we grilled outside, darnit!

We really just wanted some old school steaks. And we got them.

I ate 1 and my husband ate 3. Um, he told me he skipped lunch and he was really hungry.

We turned off the lights, lit some candles and just talked about the difficult week we just had. Some good steaks and some good company always seem to make me feel better.

We decided that we never want to see the inside of a hospital again and that Will Ferrell’s new movie “Semi-Pro” is probably really bad — but we might go see it anyway.

(It was kind of a stream-of-consciousness discussion.)

Good food is the elixir for all the world’s problems. I hope you have some this weekend, too!
