Dinner!

Tonight we had that on sale T-bone steak Hubby had bought at $8.99 a pound at Publix grocery a while back; it usually sells for $12.99 a pound; it was put on the grill/barbecue with just a bit of salt and pepper on it, since that's all she needed, and WOW!

A couple of Idaho bakes and that is all that was needed for an old fashioned style great meal! Of course we had mixed veggies as well as a concoction of onions, mushrooms and garlic to use on either the meat or the potatoes… Neither really needed a thing, and the meat was done to perfection, rather rare…but we know where it came from.

To eat this same meal out would have been quite a bit more I do believe; most likely for that entrĂ©e around twenty-five bucks ala carte a piece if not more…Doing it at home, ourselves, it came in at just a little over five bucks a piece with everything…Well worth the splurge for us.

Our food desires are diverse, we also enjoy seafood quite a bit too, and surprise we are about to get a brand new seafood restaurant not even a mile from here. The Goal Post sports bar restaurant owned by the people who also own Smuggler’s at Fisherman’s Village and the elite Captain’s Table above it, as well as the Crab House at Laishley Park have decided to turn the Goal Post into another seafood grill restaurant, and Geez it is just down the block practically.

In the old days I could have walked there!
Something to look forward to and be sure to hear it here first my own personal critique!

I love the hustle and bustles of building and businesses choosing here to do that, and quite a few renovations up and down the Trail, i.e. the Tamiami/ route 41, named for being the original route from Tampa to Miami, but of course you all knew that…
So much good going on for the area, and we live amongst it all!

Sure there is some bad things, but tell me where there isn’t, really?
I am not living here looking through rose colored glasses I can see all the good though above and beyond the bad.

“If you'll permit me to smash two idioms together shamelessly, what a cockeyed optimist really needs is a pair of rose-colored glasses. Both idioms suggest the same basic premise, that a perpetual optimist may not be viewing the world very realistically. By wearing rose-colored glasses, a person's grasp of a situation or circumstance would be unnaturally filtered or soft-pedaled. While a more optimistic worldview is not a bad idea in itself, deliberately failing to acknowledge unpleasant or negative aspects of the human experience can be a form of delusion or denial.

The origin of the idiom "rose-colored glasses" is still a mystery to this day, although there are a few interesting and plausible theories. The idea of a idyllic rose-colored worldview can be traced back to at least the 17th century. Quite possibly the popularity of romantic imagery in artwork inspired viewers to associate optimism with the rose gardens and deep reds they saw. Victorians certainly were familiar with the idea of a "rosy glow" or "painting a rosy picture." Viewing the world through rose-colored glasses could be an extension of painting extraneous roses to liven up a painting or decoration.”

At times perhaps we should have a pair, better than saying to your male partner to grow a pair, hmm?

On that note, allow me to blush in a rosy glow… as I wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
