Because of the intense overtime Joe and his coworkers have been putting in, they decided to treat themselves (and their significant others) to a good steak dinner. Courtesy of the company.
The steak house we went to was one of those old school places, with brown leather chairs and carpeting and waiters in suit jackets. The special of the day was Antelope, sliced thin. Mmm, jumpy meat. So who orders it? Joe, of course.
Unfortunately, a few minutes after we ordered, the waiter came back and said the kitchen was out of antelope. Boo. Their substitute was venison. I'm sure it was delicious, but not nearly as exciting, so he just went ahead and got a regular old porterhouse steak instead.
I ordered the filet mignon rossini, which is filet mignon with a slab of foie gras on top. It hurt me to order something that expensive, even when someone else was paying! Once it came, though, it was totally worth it. Even if I was paying for it. It was possibly the best thing that anyone ordered, and Joe kept trying to steal more and more bites off my plate. Wow.
We also shared 2 bottles of wine (between six of us). A very nice treat, though even a dinner like this does not make up for the RIDICULOUS number of hours Joe has been putting in. His boss called at 8 a.m. this Saturday! Not cool!
Today is the first day of Passover. Joe and I are going to host a seder and Christy is coming to share. I wish Luke and Aliza were here--that would be perfect--but they flew to Vegas to spend Passover with her grandma and parents. So we will have a small, low-key affair this time.
