Gert’s Mistake

I love my wife, but I scold myself sometimes. Until she met me she had never had lobster, lamb, or filet mignon. There are a few other high-end foods too. She loves these now. Of course, these are good foods.

Gert went grocery shopping this morning. We don’t eat a lot of steak at home these days. She wanted a steak. She apparently had something in her hand but asked the butcher for filet mignon. Without checking the price of what he gave her, she came home with two beautiful steaks. And she wanted it for lunch. Sigh . . .

But one must turn lemons into lemonade. I grilled those steaks to perfection. Just a little salt and pepper on the resting steaks. I seared them on both sides and then turned down the heat on the open pit. One was larger than the other; it took longer.

Medium-rare to perfection. When the knife cuts a fillet it should cut like butter. These were so tasty!

As I commented to Gert, we had the best lunch on the block today.
