A local supermarket's "gourmet" store had delmonico
steaks (my favorite) on sale in the value pack for
$5.77/lb. So I splurged and got a package which contained
3 steaks. It was a last minute, spur of the moment,
decision and since I stopped after work and had to make
another stop and then get home and cook dinner before
Jeopardy started I forwent (is that a word? ;-)) the
traditional baked potato (takes too long to cook and I don't
like them microwaved) in favor of some Ore-Ida crinkle cut
french fries that can be baked. (Well that's what they claim
but I tried baking them - it was supposed to take 3 minutes
for one helping, spread out in a single layer on a cookie
sheet - but after 10 minutes they had not browned at all
so I put a little oil in the skillet and browned them on
high - about 3-5 minutes to get them crisp and browned.

I broiled one of the steaks for about 10 minutes, very
rare. But this steak was a little tough for rare. The
next one I'll move closer to the flame and broil it longer.

I also bought a bag of Dole coleslaw mix and made coleslaw
using Marzetti's Southern-style Slaw Dressing.

To accompany my fancy feast I had a bottle of Flathead Lake
Monster black raspberry soda. (I got that at the gourmet store
also as it was on sale, too.)

Pretty dame good meal. I only buy steak every few years. I
only like the best and it's too expensive to buy it too often.

For dessert I had a piece of the pecanless pie that my aunt made
and gave to me this past weekend.
