I was tricked into cooking tonight. Auntie went to the store and bought asparagus. Apparently I made a statement earlier that led her to believe I was cooking tonight if fresh veggies were available. So after I got the “we scored asparagus” text, I had to figure out what to cook with it. And since I bowl on Tuesday late afternoons, it couldn’t be anything that required a lot of time. It seems that ribeye steaks fit that requirement…
Simple was the word of the day. The steaks got a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then the butter treatment at the end of the cook. The asparagus was drizzled with EVOO, salt, pepper, the juice from half a lemon, then grilled for a few minutes while the steaks were resting.
Apparently I did good. Even though Auntie couldn’t describe how she wanted her steak cooked, I managed to get it the way she wanted it. I must have, because she ate all of it.
Don’t tell her I cooked it to just slightly over medium rare…

Jealous.
You’re just mad because you missed out on funny smelling pee.
Yeah, but you don’t have to announce it to the whole world.
You really think the whole world reads these comments?
Some of us do…. funny smelling pee ???
Asparagus does something to your pee that makes it smell funny (assuming you eat it, which I don’t think you do). And if you can’t smell it, then perhaps you don’t have the gene that allows you to do so. Just be glad you weren’t part of the research team mentioned in this article. I would imagine that conversation was akin to “pull my finger”. “Here, smell this pee…”
Beef and asparagus, nothing can be better in my book!
