The Forgetful Photographer

Sunday and Monday nights The Lovely S and I made one of our regulars, a steak salad from a Tyler Florence cookbook. We forgot pictures on Sunday, but thought we would just take some Monday. Forgot Monday. Tonight we made pizza, but you've seen that.

We planted loads of flowers on the balcony over the weekend. Well, S planted loads of flowers over the weekend. I carried potting soil bags and cheered her on over a few G&Ts. I keep forgetting to take pics of the balcony before the sun goes down.

So just imagine it: rare, prime, dry-aged NY strip sliced over arugula, olives, roasted red peppers, and bleu cheese, with lemon, EVOO, and a red wine reduction dressing, served on the balcony in seventy degree weather with the Potomac as a backdrop and lots of geraniums, verbena, and marigolds freshly planted. Ah, spring in D.C.

I will defnitely post some pics soon. Grandmother will enjoy getting a card with those garden pictures, so I can't forget!

PS- Sad news in D.C. Eastern Market, along with Bower's Dairy, burned almost completely on Monday. They are vowing to rebuild, but all that melted cheese! What a waste. And not a tortilla chip in sight! Good luck Mr. Bowers. We hope you rebuild.
