Chicken and steak

 Two delicious dinners


The other day Kim made chicken πŸ”πŸ“πŸ” with Ceasar salad πŸ₯—πŸ₯£πŸ₯—.  It was delicious πŸ˜‹, she made it with olive oil and did an excellent job with it.


She put to much oil in then, drained some of it.  Turned out moist and tender.

Today

She makes steak fried in butter with spices, salt and pepper.  I asked not to have any BBQ sauce with mine and it turned out fabulous.  A meal that you'd get at the Keg a $100 dollar meal.

Kim cut up a roast and cooked up the fat for Dixie, she really enjoyed her dish of kibble tonight.


Mid day we have a game of cribbage before we cut up our beef.  I won, so Kim gets the crib first next game.

Clean vehicles and two good meals.  I think this warm weather is a nice reprieve from the cold, hard to start a vehicle weather.


Dixie is even enjoying our longer walks, and got a special Saturday meal with her kibble.


No pictures of steak and garden salad πŸ₯—πŸ₯£.

We ate it up, we even let it sit to soak up more juices, which we never got a photo.  It looked good 😊.


A nice treat for Saturday, I picked up pops for supper and Kim is vacuum sealing the rest of the beef into small roast for us and stewing beef πŸ– also some long tenderloins for jerky.



What did we give up to become consumers.

Kim makes a steak πŸ₯© like the Keg. Chicken better than any restaurant πŸ‘πŸ˜‹ all at home.

While food prices are supposed to double in the next decade from over population.

I find home dinner as is.  Exceptional.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
