4th of July Feast (No Picture)

Sorry! I didn't think to take a picture of this one...

Living in the dorms, I always thought of my lack of grill as a huge impediment. Steaks and kebabs could never be as good when prepared stovetop. However, on the suggestion of a co-worker I looked into broiling.

Following this link to a tee, I produced some of the best steak I've ever had in my own home. Really!! I bought two rather pricey Boneless Rib Eye steaks from Whole Foods and put a very basic steak rub on them. They were flavorful, tender, and more than enough for the 3 of us.

I also made mashed potatoes: 2 very large potatoes, a stick of butter, a dash of pepper, and an excess of garlic salt, and a House Salad. Brian took care of the garlic bread.

All that and a nice red wine and we were in business for a fabulous Fourth of July feast. If only the fireworks had been as nice as my cooking!
