It's my wife and my anniversary today. I worked from home so I could take her to a doctor appointment in the afternoon, and my mom came down to watch the kids. She was feeling okay and on the way to the appointment we were actually talking about going out to dinner. But by the time we were there she had a full blown tear-inducing headache. Maybe it was the car ride with me.
So we stopped by the store on the way home and I bought a couple 2" bone-in ribeyes. Threw them on the grill, went inside for a few minutes, came back out and the grill was billowing black smoke. I opened the grill to a huge ball of flame, burnt some arm hair, the entire grill was on fire including the grease-catch pan underneath. Outside of steaks were close to scorched but not quite. I turned off all the burners and let everything calm down, then put the steaks on indirect heat for a few minutes.
Best ####ing steaks I've ever made.
Things I learned today:
A. Shuke and I have the same anniversary.
ii. Prescriptions are for 3 months (12 weeks) but 3 month checkups are apparently scheduled for 3 months (calendar), hence my wife has been trying to soldier through a fibromyalgia flare up for a week and gradually getting more miserable. (Got a short term prescription filled today, so she should get more back to normal by the morning, but suffice it so say she had a ####ty day for our anniversary.)
!. Neither of us is getting any tonight, but Shuke had a steak dinner prepared by the Reds' arsonist bullpen.
(Happy Anniversary and best wishes, Shuke!)
Friggin' GENIUS!!!!
