Pride goes before the fall

We went out to breakfast (brunch, I guess) this morning and I had a Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. My response was, "Ryan, you make better waffles." (He makes really good mixed berry waffles that are excellent with kiwi and/or strawberries and whipped cream on top). Then we went to the grocery store later to get a marinade for our steak and we had sample brownies. My response was, "I make better brownies." Then we had a real American meal: steak and potatoes (I think I once told Ryan that I would probably never make a meat and potatoes meal--so he had to do this one). We started off with a really good salad, and the steak was pretty good, but the potatoes, which were my baby, were not so great. Apparently grilling them is not the best way to go. I'm sure there are many places out there that make better spicy potato wedges than I do!

Grilled Steak and Potatoes

We decided to contribute to the smoke by grilling steak and potato wedges. The wedges got a little burned and a lot dry, but they were ok with catsup. Albertson's gave us a coupon for a free bottle of Kikoman's Teriyaki sauce (and we got another coupon when we checked out) so we marinated our steak in it for about 30 minutes. It was very tasty, bringing back memories of teriyaki beef jerky when I was growing up (not because the meat was over done and dry, it was just right ... ok, a little over done). Our cat Missy used to go crazy over that stuff. We would come home find the bag with bite and claw holes all over it. Speaking of cats attacking bags, it's Mobius' favorite thing to do now. The other day when we got up in the morning we found bite holes all over our bread bag. She doesn't even like bread!
