My wife left me earlier this month with my birthday being today. Just me and my dog here to celebrate a very lonely day. Oh, I don't mean she left me for good. She is in MA visiting the daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. I stayed home to keep the dog company.
Anyways, I figure that officially I'm a year older I would treat myself. Made some bacon and french toast for breakfast, nothing special really but I normally just have a bowl of Total and a banana, so just a bit special. For dinner I picked up a ribeye.
I'm a simple country boy with simple tastes. Grew up on home cooked meals, nothing fancy. Toss in 26 years in the Navy, and that chow is nothing to write home about. I seasoned the steak with coarse ground black pepper and sea salt and tossed it on the grill at 550 degrees for a minute or so on each side to get a good sear. Turn the heat down on low and did each side for 3-4 minutes. Comes out med to med well every time, just the way I like it. For the side a can of Bush Beans, original. A can of beer and I was in heaven. My dog even watched me the whole time, which he never does as I have never fed him from the plate. Probably why he always watches my wife eat and not me. Guess I was the only show on this evening.
Anyways, if you are still reading, here is the one and only pic. Again, nothing fancy but mighty fine vittles!
