cheers

Cheers to summer.

Cheers to a wonderful salad topped with farmer's market tomatoes and sweet onions.

Cheers to Wednesday night.

Cheers to farmer's market beans, with their crunchy, meaty texture and their sweet flavor.

Cheers to beef tenderloin on sale for $5.87/lb at Basha's. If you have a husband that likes to moonlight as a butcher thanks to Alton Brown's whole beef tenderloin episode, you can have 3 1 lb tenderloin roasts, 3 dinners of two filet steaks, a pound of stew meat, and more than a pound of scraps for beef broth out of a 9 lb side of beef. (Search youtube for how to clean a whole tenderloin, or set your DVR to Alton's Tender is the Loin episode.)
























Cheers to enjoying most of your filet mignon before remembering to take a picture.

If you're really lucky, you're toasting with some wonderful cabernet franc from Sunce in Sonoma County, a great winery run by a really cool Croatian winemaker named Frane. Join their wine club. It's the best deal around.
