A Little Treat Tonight

Because sometimes you just have to treat yourself a little bit...
I mean, between the both of us we have been working a lot. We make good money. We save, we invest, we've dramatically reduced other expenses recently...
So, the wife was just leaving work and asked what was on the menu tonight. We have been eating a lot of pork, and a lot of chicken. Pork more than chicken.
So, I told her to pick up some ribeye steaks and I will cook those up tonight for dinner. I told her I don't care what they cost. Just get them. It's not like we eat them every day.
Besides, today was also a MyLot payday and I did very well last month setting myself up for a nice little payout for this month.
So it has been decided. Time for a treat. Ribeyes on the dinner menu. They should be delectable.

Rib eyes are delicious. I don´t eat red meat often now but when I do, I like good meat.

@marguicha Me too. Man, that even sounds really good right now, but I have some leftover smoked pork butt roast from last night's Christmas dinner I made for the fam, and my wife suggested I should make a soup with some of it. So, soup tonight it is.

DELICIOUS! Better than that, my wife was able to find some in the manager's special bin in the meat department. They were close to expiring and so they were dirt cheap, and she got to get her employee discount to boot making them even cheaper. What a deal.

Potatoes and salad always go with a steak in my opinion. In fact, someone just wrote about Longhorn's lobster loaded baked potatoes and it sounds awesome...might try to make my own version of this at home. Although I might use imitation crab or something.

I do this sometimes with seafood, I know oysters are $10 but what the hell, every now and then I will buy them and fry`em up.

They look scrumptious! We all need a treat once in a while. My favorite is a good T bone, especially that little round piece.

Oh, you bet it is. And sometimes better. To be honest, I rarely ever buy steak out simply because I can cook this very tasty and so easily at home. I usually opt for salmon when I am out since I don't cook it much at home since the wifey doesn't care for it.
