In the past two weeks, my boyfriend and I have dined on steak, bacon wrapped filet mignon, teriyaki chicken and burgers.
At the grocery store the other day, we stocked up on meat rubs and marinades.
The other day I took advantage of a discount deal for The Meat House.
Can you tell we got a grill for Christmas?
I’ve always loved steak, and as my love of cooking has increased, part of me always longed to be able to cook it properly myself. In the last year, a budding friendship with a neighbor enabled us to take advantage of a few grilled dinners, but it wasn’t anything to count on. Now I’m looking forward to trying new cuts of meat, different and creative recipes.
Our new grill, a Stok brand, is a four burner with lots of neat accessories, including a removable griddle, pizza stone and vegetable basket. So many possibilities!
I’m looking forward to properly grilled summer meals, but Steve hasn’t been able to wait. He’s eager to take on more of the cooking duties. Even on a frigid evening, he was willing to bundle up to put burgers on the table.
I can’t say I can argue with coming home to a set table, music playing and nice steaks and potatoes coming off the grill. Even, or maybe especially, in the middle of winter.
