Steak & Chips

I'm really not a steak person. As a wee carnivorous toddler, I used to eat all sorts of meat ranging from Swiss Chalet ribs to cow tongue. But, now? No thanks.

I'll eat what's given to me though, and in the quite recent past that's been steak, steak and more steak. I've eaten probably more steak in the past 3 weeks then I have in the past 13 years.

Tonight I had to cook for a 15 year old boy, and steak 'n chips was the menu.

This was the first time I've ever cooked steak (beef even), but I must say it turned out quite alright!

- Steak cut in "half", fried in olive oil, onions, garlic and chilli oil.
- Chips straight form the freezer, to the oven, to the plate. Some sea salt.
- Watercress/Red Chard, Rocket, Spinach mix with cherry tomatoes, olive oil and vinegar.

Fresh

The need for Fresh hit me suddenly and sharply, almost as soon as I got to the Spandina streetcar stop. I got a small pang in my stomach, and then I heard a little voice speak to me "Sweet Potato fries... Peanut sauce...". I didn't even bother to fight that little voice, it would have been useless. 


Once it had been decided that Fresh was what's for dinner, I gave my BFFL (and FDDFL - Fresh Dinner Date For Life) a call to see if she was interested. She said no, she had to go somewhere... I knew this already, but thought that maybe I could probe her own little voice into coaxing her into a Fresh date. 


Anyways, I made my way to a completely jam-packed Fresh On Bloor and ordered the following:



$3 Cup of Floretine Bean soup
$6 Sweet Potato fries
    + $1.50 Peanut Sauce
$10 Baby Energy on Soba noodles


After having my food given to me, I made my way home and made the awful mistake of munching on some sweet, sweet, sweet potato french fries. Causing me to want to curl up into ball and weep due to the overwhelming craving.


I finally got home and sat down with my food, only to look in a see possibly the world's biggest "Baby" Energy. I have this feeling that they accidentally gave me a full size, but maybe it's just the packaging.


In conclusion, my Fresh was great, as always.

Oh, and I also stopped by DavidsTea and picked up a Toasted Walnut to go!
