Simple

Today was my first day off in March. I stayed in bed until noon, (thanks daylight savings! I would have seemed less lazy if it weren't for you,) had a wonderful lunch with a wonderful lady, and did some scrubbing of the bathroom and kitchen.  When it was all over, I really wanted a steak. It has been a while, and normally I don't really crave red meat but it was intense.  So I grilled a bison fillet, topped it with balsamic glazed onions, roasted some potatoes and carrots, and sided it with wilted greens.

I loved the sides.

Spring is almost here!

On my days off, I like to take walks.  There is something so relaxing about it.  I will walk around, get an iced coffee, go visit nearby friends.  It's why I love living in the city!

Today on my iced coffee walk, (yes I realize it's cold for iced coffee, but I prefer it!) it dawned on me that we are almost at my favorite time of year.  The snow is starting to melt.  And it will be a bit chilly for a few more weeks, sure, but the warm air is coming.  And so are the buds.  I love the smell of everything coming to life again. And the added bonus, open air restaurants become open air again. There is nothing like having brunch outside on a warm spring day.
