Keeping It Simple

Sundays are usually the days I make a fancy dinner comprising of three courses. Four, if I'm feeling particularly Johnny-on-the-spot. Last weekend, Johnny was nowhere to be seen. I felt like streamlining things - just the main course and sides. You know how it is, sometimes you just don't feel like cooking, especially when you're in the midst of an interesting cross-stitching project like I am right now.
However, streamlined doesn't mean slip slop. That evening, I grilled some black pepper steaks for the both of us. For the obligatory sides, I made french beans and sweet peas sauteed in garlic butter, brussel sprouts in Hollandaise sauce and potato wedges marinated with Italian herbs and panfried to crispy perfection.
My son got a dinosaur shaped schnitzel, at which I caught my husband giving it furtive, longing looks. I don't think men ever do grow up. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive and that's about it. 
And that was the weekly Sunday Dinner at Cookalot.
The Dutchess of Cookalot whipped this up at 10:49 am

LOL@steak.
The dinosaur's really cute too. You really put in the effort to please your boy, I must say. I've a bear one in silicon for frying eggs in, but never got round to using it coz too lazy to dig it out.
But out of curiosity, doesn't your Prince eat steak like you and your Hubby? My 3 kids are all crazy about it, they like it really rare like us and with loads of crushed black pepper...
Beau Lotus: My son likes steak too but draws the line if it's spicy. And he's got to have his food cooked through an through. Any hint of 'blood' he'll protest.
