This has been a rough week, full of hard work and two days spent with the main client who I do work for at MindComet.
Thursday was one of those days that sums up the sort of life I live. I was up and at work early, arriving close to 7:30am. Then I pushed hard with two other people working over my shoulder, something which is never comfortable and is quite trying.
I then stayed at work an hour late and from there headed directly to film two episodes of ManaNation. Lee, Darren and I knocked out two great episodes for this month, and headed home earlier than expected.
Once home I grilled up two grilled cheeses and then worked on Tritter for another hour and a half. And after midnight I finally turned in, only to wake up again at 6:30.
Steak and Scotch
So Friday night, I did the wonderful. When I left the office around 6:30 I headed to Whole Foods and picked up some necessary elements, New York Strip steaks were on sale so I snagged some real beauties, along with some veggies and mac and cheese, as well as some soy ice cream sandwiches K asked for.
Once home I primed the steaks, rubbing them down with olive oil and sea salt, and letting them sit and raise to room temperature. I put on my recorded episode of Leverage (a great new show on TNT) and poured myself a wonderful glass of scotch. Dewars on the rocks, a rare treat I allow myself after tough days or weeks.
I then proceeded to lay out the game plan and attempt to time it all for when K got off work and arrived home. As I tweeted last night, the secret to a good meal is timing. If you get all the pieces to come out together or at least all be hot when they’re done, then I call that a win. I timed it nearly perfectly, everything was ready at the same time, but unfortunately it took Katie a little longer than expected to leave work and get home, so I left it all warming in the oven.
Oh but once she arrived home, wonderfulness was had. We cuddled, caught up on the DVR and then put in ‘Dark Knight’ for our nightcap.
And then of course my body woke me up at 6:30. *sigh*
