I'm not sure why I did this to myself. I had work yesterday, a game last night (after which, I slept for shit) work this morning, and then a game at 2 and a game at 7pm. What was I thinking?
I'm going to be unconscious by 10pm tonight. I will live, but damn, it's going to be rough. Hopefully the cat will let me sleep in tomorrow.
Oh well, I'll just be having all the coffee in the meantime.
I'm sitting here listening in the hallway, because it's milk delivery day. I'm hoping they get here before the dog wakes up. We'll see. I didn't order as much this week, mostly just some milk...and gnocci, and cookies and yogurt. Okay, it's still a bit of an order. The milk is just so damn good. A little bit more expensive than regular, but not a whole lot. I really should just get it from the store, but it's the one little luxury that I'm holding onto.
Work was slower yesterday. But steady. I ended up at around 45 calls. Then, I went into a flurry of cooking for Valentine's day dinner. First, the potatoes and brussel sprouts went in. After 45min, I turned the burner on high, and put my cast iron fry pan down, and pulled my giant ass steak out. The steak seared nicely, despite the tomahawk of the steak hanging out. It was mobile enough that I could push the steak down to get a nice sear. (It looked so pretty and smelled amazing.)
Then, the sprouts came out, and the steak went in. While that was baking, I sliced strawberries for dessert, only to find that they were basically just vaguely strawberry flavored. Not sweet, and not very strong a flavor. So, I dumped them in a pan with sugar, and started stirring until I had a compote. Potatoes came out, and the steak was about 10 minutes behind.
It all turned out very well. I was very pleased with everything. The steak was tender, the brussels were garlicky and well cooked, and the potatoes were actually done. For dessert, I used (store bought) poundcake with the strawberry compote and whipped cream to make a pretty decent strawberry shortcake.
Then it was time for game, which is a battle against a god. It's not going great for the god so far, so I'm going to need to do some adjustments between this and next session to make it more challenging.
Okay, time to go forth and get myself together. Steak and eggs for breakfast? Don't mind if I do!
Everyone have an amazing Saturday!!
