There's something about a juicy steak and a baked potato that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. Maybe I got that from my dad's side of the family. They were undoubtedly hard-core carnivores. On a Friday night when I'm still winding down from the work week, and consciously trying NOT to re-live it, it's comforting and easy to throw a good steak on the grill and open a bottle of good red wine. If I can immerse myself in a good movie, even better. I earned it.
And if I get an invitation to dinner at Steak Knife on a Friday night (like I did last week!) that's the BEST way to end the week.
NOT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT BUT I'VE BEEN PAIRING WINE WITH PEPPERIDGE FARM COOKIES LATELY. SO FAR THESE ARE MY FAVORITE PAIRINGS:
