Steak

I love herbs, especially rosemary. I love rosemary mainly because it's such a hardy plant AND it smells so good!!!! It's especially good if you want a "meaty" taste to your food. I grow some herbs in my garden, rosemary being one of them, and I've to say that it's the best kinda plant for the lazy gardener in me!!! I have so much of it that I don't really know what else to do, so sometimes I would cut off a sprig and steep it in hot water...it's supposed to soothe headaches....hmmm....



Well, Ed decided that he had a craving for some steak. *Sigh* I'm not a big steak fan. But anyway, I decided to make some using some rosemary(anytime I get!!) for the marinade. I marinaded the steak with some crushed garlic, 1 sprig rosemary, pounded, and olive oil for about 30 mins. Broiled it to medium rare, topped it on some smashed cauliflower and potatoes with roasted garlic and deglazed the pan with sweet vermouth and mushrooms and top that on the steak. All ready to chow down!



Ed likes the steak but not too keen with the mash...hehehe..he was never a fan of cauliflower....LOL...or vegetable....And know what, Ethan's the same way with cauliflower...he's ok with vegetable on the whole, but he wouldn't eat cualiflower nor broccoli. Thank heavens he loves his peas!! Phew! :D

Weather wise, winter's not really winter....it's 20F above the norm temperature for a Texas winter. All the trees are sprouting buds!!! And I've yet to plant my tulip bulbs!!! Ok......I think I better start getting these lazy bones out in the yard...hehehe...
