Roses and Ribeye. . .Perfect

To me, this photo is the perfect Valentine’s dinner. I’m a simple gal.

But my husband likes things a little fancier. He’s a fantastic gift-giver and he’d put a fourth mortgage on the house just to buy me something sparkly for V-Day.

He’s a sweet man. But that puts a lot of pressure on a girl to come up with something nice to give him on special occasions.

This year, though, I’ve got it all worked out.

We went to visit some dear friends in Boston this fall. Our trip was amazing. They actually live in a seaside town right on the water and the fall colors were beginning to pop around their property.

We watched the Red Sox win the World Series on TV during our stay and almost every night we went to a new place for steak and lobster. It doesn’t get much better than that.

You’d think we’d tire of the same meal, but we couldn’t get enough.

Sadly, we haven’t had lobster since.

So. . . this Valentine’s Day, I have ordered this steak and lobster tail combo. Since we can’t go to the lobster, I’m bringing the lobster to us.

My husband will be thrilled and I get to pat myself on the back. Finally.

My order should arrive tomorrow (or is it Friday?) So I’ll just have to enforce the “no peeking” rule when going in the freezer.

I’ll let you know how it works out!

Steak, Glorious Steak

Behold the beauty of a perfectly-grilled ribeye.

I first seasoned it with Liz Lansing’s seasoning (see post from Jan. 28th) before grilling and then sprinkled a bit of oregano on top right off the grill.

I liked the kick of the oregano. It was a bit unorthodox, but I loved it! Then, I dipped each bite in a bit of Teriyaki.

I just can’t live without it.

The satisfaction of putting together my own flavor creation and its utter, shameless beauty almost made this ribeye too good to eat.

Almost.

Winter Grillin’ . . . Had Me a Blast

(Headline sung to tune of “Summer Nights” from Grease.)

Now that’s a well-used grill.

Wintertime does not mean you have to close up shop and let the grill collect cobwebs.

Just put on your coat and gloves (no mittens, please) and get on out there!

That’s what my dedicated husband is demonstrating here. This was our project last Friday evening. We live by the post office motto of “Neither rain nor sleet nor snow . . .” around our house.

Nothing will stop me from getting my fix of tender, mouth-watering steak. Ribeye to be exact. Not even 29-degree weather and snow flurries.

What’s a little pain when the payoff is so great?

Tomorrow, the fruits of our labor . . .
