The calm before the storm.

It is supposed to get nasty the next three days, in the low to mid 30's and possible freezing rain. It should be one of the coldest fronts so far this season here. We spent time in the yard because it was beautiful today, about 78 and just a light breeze out of the south. I cut back my roses and peony and harvested the last of the jalapenos and tomatoes before cutting down their bushes.
It was a good day for grilling. I went to the store yesterday and had picked up a couple of tenderloin steaks, I must be spoiled because it's the only kind of steak I'll eat anymore. I had the butcher cut them to order, God I am spoiled! I wrap them in bacon and grill them medium rare, something I learned at an early age from my late sister Patty, Mom always cooked steaks well done. I think I learned a lot of what I consider spoiling myself from her, she sure knew how to live to the fullest!
I made twice baked potatoes and spinach salad to go with the steaks. That should satisfy me until it gets nice enough to grill out again. This being Texas, grilling shouldn't be too far in the future. The only thing you can count on with Texas weather is, it's going to change quickly!
