Hey, a few days without rain!\u00a0 As a matter of fact, a few very nice days of weather.\u00a0 It’s not going to last if you’re to believe the weatherman, but we enjoyed a\u00a0couple of\u00a0days of respite from the monsoons.\u00a0 Friday we had some friends over for a little steak taste test.\u00a0 Very fascinating experiment, if perhaps born of sheer boredom.\u00a0 I stopped by the store on the way home from work and got a tenderloin and a ribeye, as close to the same thickness as I could.\u00a0 I then seasoned them identically, and grilled them to the same internal temp, over the same part of the grill.\u00a0 I then sliced them up and passed them around.\u00a0 Somewhat to my surprise, the tenderloin was the unanimous favorite.\u00a0\u00a0My Valentine’s Day menu has been thus altered by this earth-shattering \u00a0bit of scientific polling.\u00a0 Tomorrow night it shall be filet mignon and lobster, instead of our usual annual ribeye and lobster.<\/p>\n
Well it’s hard to top that bit of steak madness, but we got out a few times more over the weekend.\u00a0 Saturday night we walked over to the neighborhood clubhouse for a comedy show they were putting on.\u00a0 I may have mentioned that Donette is a member of the “Social Committee.”\u00a0 If I haven’t, well now I have.\u00a0 Remarkable as it may seem, I am not a member of said committee.\u00a0 At any rate, they had put together this fine evening of entertainment, complete with a comedian that had come in from out of town.\u00a0 He was pretty darn funny, it was a good show.\u00a0 He must have been good, because we stayed until the unheard of hour of 10:30, gasp.<\/p>\n
Sunday we participated in our weekly “Sunday Funday” activities.\u00a0 We kicked things off with a quick drive up the hill to a few wineries.\u00a0 Sunny weather has been long overdue, and it just sounded like the thing to do.\u00a0 As it happens, it usually sounds like the thing to do when it’s rainy and crummy out too, but we’ll overlook that little fact for the moment.\u00a0 We hit one new spot, and one “favorite,” which was just about right for the day.\u00a0 After that we headed over to a friend’s house nearby for one of his kid’s birthday parties.\u00a0 He has a lot of kids, it seems we go to one over there at least once a month.\u00a0 (That’s barely an exaggeration.)\u00a0 I’m not even too sure which one was actually celebrating the birthday this time, I just showed up for spaghetti and meatballs, which was delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
