I guess that's a little misleading. We went to breakfast at noon, stopped at Home Depot for a few items to make repairs suffered by our house in a recent storm, ran a couple of other errands including a Sonic run for limeades and slushies, and then came home to be lazy. Some friends of ours stopped by to chat before they headed over to City Park to watch fireworks. That was the second most exciting part of the day.
The most exciting, or maybe it was the best, was dinner. We had flat iron steaks and scallops for dinner. I grilled perfect flat iron steaks, which is kind of a feat for me. I was going to marinate them in worstershire but I didn't have any. I did have a generic steak and chop marinade with garlic and black pepper, which worked great. I guess the key is to put them on the grill at room temperature. I have a new favorite cut of meat - and they're cheap! This site has great directions for grilling flat iron steaks.
Other excitement includes a little mini vacation. Both Rob and I had today off but I also took tomorrow off work. The only thing I have to do between now and Monday at noon is lead a group on Saturday morning, which is comfortable and fun for me. The rest of the time is mine. There are a few things I'd like to get done and maybe a couple of errands I should do but without a crazy-busy schedule to keep up with, I should be rested by Monday.
