Weekend Plans

[piemma]

Fish someplace. Gonna cook a steak for the first time in 3 weeks. I've been doing this NutiSystem for 3 weeks and while it works, I hate the F&^%$#*ing food.

LOL. It works, the food stinks, and it's expensive. Want a treat, cook that steak outside over charcoal. Last year I got rid of my gas grill, no comparison in taste.

Coaching my baseball team of 6-8 year-olds. Looking for schoolies with my 6 year-old son and the puppy. Taking delivery of a new camping trailer. Making a few reservations for said trailer at Fishermans Memorial in Narragansett. Finishing a wood-fired, brick pizza oven in my backyard. It's not nutrisystem-compliant...lots of other yard work, spreading 7 yards of mulch, etc...

I WILL cook it outside over a WOOD fire.

Make it a ribeye, best steaks in my opinion...

[piemma]

Ribeye does have the best taste.

Make a fire, then let the flames die down to where its just super hot glowing embers...fan off the white ash with a paper plate then lay the steak right on the embers....

That there is called a "cowboy steak", and man is it good.

Take the steak, rub it with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper (or Weber or McCormick seasonings). Let it sit at room temp for 20 minutes before grilling (equates temp between inside and outside of steak, so that you can cook the middle to desired doneness without burning the outside).

Cook outside over natural lump charcoal (which is nothing but pre-burnt wood), not briquettes which have artificial fillers. And never light the wood or charcoal with lighter fluid.

My favorite non-seafood meal. Best with corn-on-the-cob, also cooked over wood or charcoal, and of course an ide cold beer. Me thinks that's what I'm having tonight...

Big gatherinhg for Mrs. Stewie's birthday party Saturday, otherwise I'd be at a bye bye bachelorhood party.

I bet I wake up in better shape than those guys.

I think it's also called a "dirty steak" but whatever it's called I'm doing it.
In defense of Nutrisystem, if you don't buy extra food and stick to exactly what they provide, it's no more expensive than going to the grocery store and buying regular food. As far as it working. I'm down 15 pounds in 3 weeks which is a lot more than they advertise but I have been off the road and cutting next years firewood so I'm burning a lot more than I'm taking in. The tough part comes next month as I will be traveling for 3 weeks and "road food" will kill the diet.

I am home alone with my 17 year old daughter who has just texted me to ask if "we" can go fishing together tomorrow, likely freshwater, local stream. I don't know how many more opportunities like that I have left to look forward to.
And my gut instinct is telling me that on the way home tonight I should (would be a fool if I didn't) pick up a small grill, bag of charcoal and a steak.

[jredfly]

Going to provide course support (energy drinks and food) for a friend that is running a 30 mile trail race tomorrow morning (5 - six mile loops).

Try to clean up the yard and do a burn Sunday, last day we can do it in our town is May 1st, so I gotta get it in.

In between going to run 10 miles on Saturday and 5 miles on Sunday. Trying to get ready for a half marathon that I signed up for on Memorial Day weekend.

Little League game tonight and Sunday and two practices Saturday.

Other than that not doing much this weekend.
