Last night I went to Publix to get some breakfast and lunch items for the week. Imagine how far my jaw dropped when I walked out with 3 bags after paying $86! Ok, so there were also 3 12-packs of diet coke, but they were buy 2 get 1 free, so that’s only $10. I shoved the receipt in one of the bags and headed home. I was annoyed, but figured Chobani and fruit and that $10 Orange Roughy were to blame.
Receipts generally just collect at the bottom of my purse until I clean it out every week or so, but this time I decided to look at my receipt and see what the hell cost so damn much. And then I saw it – $19.99 for Grouper. Grouper? Didn’t I get Orange Roughy? That’s the fish I like. And it was $9.99, not $19.99! I ran walked slowly to the freezer. Earlier I’d cut open the bag and put one of the filets in the fridge for Monday’s dinner and the other in the freezer. I’d noticed that for $10 I wasn’t getting much fish, but figured I’d just not make that mistake again.
But there it was on the sticker on the bag clearly labeled GROUPER…$19.99. Only the 1 in 19.99 was suuuuper light, so it wasn’t a wonder I’d thought that shit was $9.99. I was pissed. I couldn’t take back open fish, so I just had to cough it up and consider it a $10 mistake. That fish better be the best thing ever to touch these lips!
Once I was over it I made a steak and damn was that juicy red meat delicious! I’ve never mastered the art of making a steak, so I generally only eat them when I’m out. But my iron must be low because I could not tear myself away from the beef last night. And shit – it was amazing. Mastered? Maybe not. Better than any other steak I’ve ever made? Damn skippy!
What else?
I am obsessed with buying cute things for my new niece, Mallory (thankfully still all snug up inside The Canadian). Pink galore. I feel bad that I’m getting nothing for her twin brother, Mason, but boys are so not fun to buy for.
Watching LaLa’s wedding last night and getting all teary made me realize that I only cry at weddings because I am afraid I’ll never have that. Except when I’m watching My Big Freakin’ Wedding (or something like that…) and then I’m glad I may never have THAT.
I’m pretty much over Marilie beating me in Words with Friends. But she’s also the fastest player, so I will continue to take the beating.
Yum, steak! There is an amazing steak marinade we make and the meat just falls apart in your mouth like butter. Wow, I want steak now. Thanks…
Care to share? I would love to try it.
You aren’t even sharing? Jeeeeeeeeez. You are SupaUnCoo!
Hi, I’m a lurker, but I must share with you, I have been following a steak recipe I stumbled up on at Publix.
Savory Steaks
Ingredients
3 fresh garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 3/4 lb grilling steaks (such as strip, ribeye, or top sirloin)
cooking spray
Steps
1. Crush garlic, using garlic press, into medium bowl. Use knife to remove garlic from bottom of press. Stir in seasoned salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Place steaks in marinade, turning to coat all sides; marinate 10 minutes. Wash hands. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; then preheat on medium-high.
2. Place steaks on grill (wash hands); discard remaining marinade. Grill 6–7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.)
My notes – I use minced garlic and a George Foreman grill, it’s the bomb.com.
