As you might have thought, judging by my lack of presence in this section for the last 3 months, I haven't been around to cook much. Days off have been met with rain, prior commitments or laziness. So I really looked forward to introducing yesterday mornings ribeye purchase to the high heat of the Egg. No rain, fairly warm, got the leaves blown from the deck and yard, only got 2 guys on the job to babysit from afar, bottle of brown liquor on hand.
Then...crap. Gotta hit Bass Pro Shops to supply for this weeks trip to the coast. It's okay, plenty of time.
Then...crap. Got a call to take a friend somewhere (he can't drive yet due to a bike wreck). "And can you pick me up, too". It's okay, plenty of time.
Then...crap. Forgot I had made plans to catch up with another ONSC'er. It's okay, just one beer; plenty of time.
Then...the wife and I pick up the friend on our way home when she states that she needs to eat now - the hour in the bar, smelling and seeing food, drove her past the limits of waiting for me to cook. Crap.
One moderately mediocre mushroom pizza later, it's almost 9:00pm and I'm full. BUT, it's okay, I'll grill it in the morning.
Then...oh, fudddddddddddge. But I didn't say fudge. The skies opened up as I was waking. Yes, both of them. That's how much rain there is. Slated to continue all day. Crap. And now I'm heading to work. I guess it's cast iron on the stove for me tonight. I wonder if those brussels sprouts I bought about 10 days are still good....
EDIT: I forgot to add that I spotted this thing at the grocery store in the morning before normal people were even awake. Made the day worthwhile.
