Lobsters are on sale all over town this weekend. These were $6.77 a pound, live or precooked. I am a total sissy when it comes to the live ones, so I was glad when our out of town friends opted for the precooked. (They assured us that they had just cooked the live ones that day.) Then they had rib-eye steak on sale too, so we had lobsters for an appetizer, and steak with garlic mashed for the main course. I have a headache too this morning from the various libations we indulged in. (Saturdays are for libations.) The steaks were awesome. I watched as the boys put garlic, lemon juice, basil and soy sauce on the steaks and let them sit for a while like that before they went on the barbeque. I'm writing it here so I won't forget because they were DELISH.As I look at the photos from last night, I think, "we certainly are in our cups".
After the boys left, I called back mommy, and since I've brought her up, Happy Mother's Day. I think my words might have been a little slurry. I'm sure they were when I called back em. I'm grateful now that at least I didn't drunk blog. At this moment, I need aspirin. It's gonna be a long day if I don't 86 this headache.
At long last I get to be FIRST! (Silly distinction for some of us, I know...)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fab dinner and I will jot down the marinade for future reference.
I see extra-strength Tylenol in your immediate future.
Surf and Turf is a popular meal but a lot of food. It looks like Serge really enjoyed himself.
ReplyDeleteI have a headache this morning too. I think it is from this crazy weather. 70's during the day and 40's at night. Happy Mother's Day all you mothers out there, and you know who you are. Ed
I love the look on Serge's face.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good weekend...good friends, surf n turf, and a jar of freesia on your table! Hope the aspirin works and that you have only quiet things planned for the day!
ReplyDeleteAfter a night of heavy libations, you need to take aspirin and drink lots of water before you go to bed. That is my remedy to fend off a hangover. Have you had coffee yet? Coffee helps a headache.
ReplyDeleteI love basil.
ReplyDeleteMy head is also a little achy this morning too.
Sounds like a good time was had by all, as is said of these occasions. The dinner and preparations sounded delicious.
ReplyDeleteHydrate ( with water ) ;-) ...and a few more hours of sleep may help with your headache.
My word verification: hoouxp
( sounds like the sound of one having too much to drink? ) ;-/
Dude. I didn't know you were drunk. And you were so nice to me too.
ReplyDeletedinner sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThe way to my heart is through a plate of Garlic Mash. Although I don't know why I'd give away such intimate details online....
Happy hangover. hope it goes soon.
Oh man, those lobsters looked delicious. Not fair. >:I
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers day!
ReplyDelete(Insert whistles and cheers in the background)
Drunk people have no business looking that cute. It's not fair.
ReplyDelete"we certainly are in our cups"
ReplyDeleteIs that a French or Canadian expression? I'm not familiar with it.
Mark :-)
Oh man, Torn, I referenced your steak marinade for over the weekend and have enjoyed my prime rib steaks marinated and BBQ'd twice! Delicious. I have used parts soy sauce and worstershire sauce as a marinade but would never have thought of lemon juice. Thank you for sharing it - it will become my staple. In truth, I have yet to add the basil in the mix as I don't have it in my cupboard. Will change that next grocery run...
