My Heroes

Finally our favorite show is coming on T.V tonight! My kid and I have been waiting on the edge of our seats for weeks, it seems for Heroes to return. Boy does this world need some saving!

So I galloped off to Whole Foods for a nice cut of meat. Thank goodness my favorite meat man was there because I had questions on how to prepare dinner.

I knew that I wanted steak. The weather is prefect for firing up the grill.

We decided that a porterhouse steak is best for the time that I have to spend cooking.

What is a porterhouse steak?

The Meat Man:

It is the best of both worlds because you have the tender fillet and succulent strip steak. The bone increases the flavor.

How long does it take to cook it?

MM:

Depends on how long you like to eat your steak. What you are getting here is 1 and 1/2 inch thick steak.

Get your grill hot. You’re going to be cooking it 8 minutes on one side, and 7 minutes on the other.

Don’t forget to season it first, rub it with olive oil and use our Toranto steak rub and then the grill!

ahh I can’t wait

Ann Ponce- Painter

I had a vivid surprise in the waiting room of Illinois Masonic Advocate on Ravenswood in Chicago.

Ann Ponce has her vibrate beach paintings hung there. I  have to say that her website photos don’t do her paintings justice.

Every summer, I miss the ocean and Long Island. For a moment I slipped back in time and experience the most peaceful calm.

nature coursed through my veins

refreshing my soul

I heard waves crashing against rock

the gentle salt breeze

of evening and a private beach 

thank you Ann Ponce for taking me back to a place in my life where I witnessed Purity.
