....shower, & shave, & eat a STEAK as big as yo back.

im not too much of a steak eater, but i mean if i get a FREE chance to eat/cook one, then definately aint gon turn it down. i thought of my Bro Mike (Patrick) when we cooked yesterday because he LOVES steak. He's actually part of the reason why i dont like eating it so much lol. I just remember him always talking about steak! steak! steak!!! and so it just made me not wanna eat it. weird huh? lol

 Pepper Steak: This was so good i had never had pepper steak before. so easy to make too. the potatoes i just diced up and cooked in a little oil, butter, garlic, salt, &white pepper.
Gratin Dauphinoise: Thats the side dish. ive made a post about it before. its just sliced potatoes layered in a pan with cheese ,cream, s&p, nutmeg, milk, and baked until potatoes are done.
 Cote de Boeuf Grillee, Buerre Marchand de vin, Tomatoes Provencal:
With this dish i grilled the steak (medium rare). The tomatoes (tomatoes provencal), i just cut them in half and carved the seeds and stuff out , the filling is breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, olive oil, s&p. and then put in the oven just for a few minutes. they actually were good.
the slices on the side is the Beurre Marchand de vin. what i did was reduce some shallots and red wine in a pan until the wine was almost gone. then i mixed that in butter (butter must be soft, not cold). added some parsley, lemon juice, s&p. then you just roll it in some plastic wrap in the shape of a thick sausage. put it in the refrigerator for about 25 minutes (at least) then slice it up. That mixture actually went really well with the steak! i love being surprised. i be thinking, ugh what we finna do with this??!! haha and then when it all comes together at the end, it goes perfectly. =) oh and the garnish is Water Crest. i had dipped it in some olive oil that had seasoning in it. it gives it a gloss and a little flavor so you can eat it with the steak.

So glad school is coming along really well. God is too good. He is working with me in so many ways. I know I am growing to be a better person. Life is aint' easy, but with God, its so much easier to make it. I have Peace & Joy.
&& it all comes from Him<3
