Steak in a Package
Chicken is on the menu for dinner. Good choice. Everyone happy. I guess not because we ended up with a chuck steak that had been in the freezer, longer than I would have liked to be. Hubby was getting me something from the freezer and he innocently, asked me, if I knew that there was a chuck steak, in the freezer. Sure, I knew. I am not a big beef eater and chuck steak just did not appeal to me. I got my frozen peaches, which is what I asked for with a small chuck steak, just enough for the two of us.
Bye bye chicken. Hello chuck steak. Hey, isn’t there a song like that? Thinking………..Yes, there is……Everly Brothers, “Bye Bye Love”. I wonder if that love ended up as good as my chuck steak did. Now, I am going to be humming that all night.
I did not have my heart in this meal so I went through the motions. In the end, I had salmon and hubby enjoyed this. None is left, so it had to have been a success.
