Because Red Meat Alone Just Is Not Fatty Enough...

I DID go to the gym today, so I DESERVE some dry aged USDA Prime and Maytag Bleu . A bit of weight lifting followed by fourty minutes on the treadmill while watching a Laguna Beach marathon. Here is a pic of tonight's dinner. When I'm working, The Lovely S and I don't often have a lot of time to cook, so we are gourmeting it during vacation week. Tonight was a New York Strip Salad with Maytag Bleu Cheese, mixed olives, roasted red peppers (from the garden), arugula, and a lucious pan sauce made with reduced red wine. Here are some pics of dinner in progress and the finished product.

Incidentally, the cats seem to love dry aged USDA Prime. Cosmo went particularly crazy. He showed some interest while we were cooking, but after the first bite, there was no restraining him. Jumping, begging, trilling, crying. He has no shame ;)
