Journal 34 Allergies, Steak

Hello! Thank you for stopping by.

About three minutes ago, something set off my allergies so bad. Haha. My eyes are itchy and my nose is runny. Allergies are funny. Some days I’m totally clear, on others they come on schedule, and once in a while, I get a really bad day that tempts me towards taking an allergy pill. But at the last minute, they clear up.

As I regain my vision, let me tell you about my meal yesterday. We treated ourselves to steak, and also made mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, and green beans. This was only the second or third time we had steak in the past year, so I was super excited, especially because I had full reign over the steak cooking!!!

It came out really nice in a stainless steel pan. Ideally, I wanted to use cast iron, but ours are were too small and too big. We were even a little extra decadent and did the thing with butter, garlic, and rosemary. But I forgot that the butter was salted. It still tasted so good...

Next time, I don’t think I need the butter, but it was fun to try. The mashed potatoes came out great and the other vegetables stood on their own.

Today, I made limoncello for the first time. Super excited to enjoy it in a little bit.

Thank you for reading and I hope you had a great start to the new year!
