It's my birthday.... almost

So, rather than an expensive night out, look what we bought:
Yes, they cost $26/lb, but for 3 people to have a steakhouse meal, with wine for 2, for less than $100, a steal.

Plus I loooovvveee these carrots, pan roasted with thyme:
The steaks were expertly cooked to the rare side of medium rare, and were absolutely sinful.

Tensley syrah from the central coast to balance out the meal, capped off by a visit to the neighbor's hot tub.
A perfect pre-birthday celebration (since my birthday will be spent watching my 6th grader play in his first flag football game before trucking of to a baseball tournament in Nevada).

Tomorrow... Dodger dogs @ Chavez Ravine!
