Mr. Sir Loin

First Bacon, and now Steak. I am a whole new woman this week. Seriously, what is happening in my kitchen? Good things I tell you...no...GREAT things!

I haven't had a steak in gawd knows when and it was about damn time! 

Plus, a couple of years back they closed down my favorite steak place...not a happy camper when you erase one of my childhood memories of a thick, juicy, mouth-watering steak with the family.

No, you didn't.

Anyway, today I have a man's meal for you...no, a woman's meal...hey, it's both, cah-peesh?

Steak...

gawd...I feel so cave-woman-ish right now.

Now, some roasted veggies...

that's more like it.
