Since my favorite wife is doing R&R in Pennsylvania and contemplating her navel, I ate my porterhouse all by myself--and it was good. I sauteed it in the style of steak au poivre, something I learned decades ago in the Time-Life Series in another thread.
Accompanied by tender-crisp oven fries, sauteed onions and mushrooms, salad and a glass of leftover burgundy, I ate everything but the bone. And my friend's dog will get the bone tomorrow.
If I'm lucky, I'll have the house back in shape by the time wifey gets back. I've spent almost a week cleaning out one of our lower rooms (which resembled the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark) and using the rest of the house as a staging area. But much easier without a wife giving directions (I mean suggestions). I'm pooped, although it's cheaper than going to a gym and lifting things. We'll sort through some books when she gets back and get rid of a thousand or so.
