Wow! Now this is news.
Yesterday was our 33rd
Wedding Anniversary. We went to
see a movie and to get something to eat.
When we started this new whole food diet we decided that we could have a
treat on special occasions. This
being one we thought we could try some meat or fish. After the movie we talked and settled on Sushi. We started out with a soy roasted green
beans… delicious. Then it was
Tempura Scallop Skewers no big deal… in fact the taste kind of put both of us
off. Next we had Roasted shrimp,
again neither of us really liked the flavor, and last we had Caterpillar rolls
which we both like. I couldn’t eat
them and Kathy ate the rice and avocado. Hmmm!
What can this mean?
Well, we both wanted to really
enjoy this meal as it will be a long time until we have animal protein
again. On the way home we talked
about how disappointed we both were with the meal. Kathy suggested that I buy a really good steak and grill it
myself, so I could enjoy that roasted meat flavor that we both were craving.
The news gets worse.
On the way home we stopped at our
local Bashas’ and bought a beautiful, Black Angus, Ribeye, Beef Steak out of
the case. I took it home, let it
come to room temperature and lit some pure Mesquite chunk charcoal. When the coals were good and hot, I
blistered two Poblano chiles and while they were finishing in a paper bag I
grilled the steak to perfection!
After letting the steak rest for about 12 minutes I cut into the steak
and it was just right. I took a
bite and thought, hmmm… no big deal.
After a few more bites I gave up and let my dogs have the rest of the
steak. This is quite a change for
me as I have always loved a good grilled steak. I have to admit my tastes are changing. I enjoyed my oatmeal with a little honey
and a few nuts this morning much more than anything I ate last night?
What it means… I’m not sure but it
certainly is worth some extra thought.
More to come, Mad Coyote Joe
