My Adult daughters always make a point to take my wife and I to a nice restaurant on our birthdays or any special days.
They came over today about 2 and gave me some Tadcaster Sammy Smith Oatmeal lager, and nice shirt, then asked me which restaurant would I like to go to. But I said honestly every time we leave a nice restaurant, I can't help but think what nice beautiful steaks we could have bought at a high end butcher shop/case and grilled them at home. So they took me to a nice butcher shop off Cordova road and we got three nice 2 inch NY strips and a nice 2 inch Rib Eye steak and they bought me a new grate for the Weber grill. As it's been getting ratty sagging in the middle and the wire grates are about 1/2 as thick as they are supposed to be from heat and rust.
I got the fire nice and hot, then I seasoned the new grates and put those steaks on, at the peak of perfection heat. Nice barq on the steaks, and perfectly pink and juicy in the middle. Normally I get them more red and colder in the middle, which I will eat just fine. As well as one of my daughter's likes them rarish as well. But we all agree on a perfectly medium(as long as it's pink and juicy) and this turned out prefect with nice burnt crust which we all also like.
Sure I had to play grill master, but we couldn't have had a better meal if we ate at the Four Seasons.
My Daughter's are class acts.

Did fajitas on the grill today - extra beefy flavor. The wife did all the sides - all in all, a good day.

We used to go out to eat multiple times a week out of convenience. We're kind of done. We still do, but it's less frequent. This definitely is grill season at our house. I'll grill in the winter, but this time of year it's almost nightly depending on kids activities.

I'm also not a fan of made up days. Basically any holiday... lol. Even religious ones. Why do you "need" a day to celebrate something that should be done everyday? Valentines day is probably the worst.

Anniversaries and birthdays I guess are fine. As a father with school aged kids though, every day is fathers day in non-black communities or mothers day. Having a black nephew we took in with his baby daddy in prison saying happy fathers day Uncle Tom is slightly awkward....

Indira Gandhi

One of the worst, most brutal and corrupt leaders of any major nation.

She was a brutal dictator ordered to kill so many thousands of innocent people to keep her position. Her actual name was India Khan with first marriage, India (Mohammad) Yonous with second marriage. Since pedophile Gandhi became popular by commie press, her father barrow his name for her political life.
