Went to see the Dodgers last weekend

The Dodgers totally choked!!

But being at a game is always fun. We had special box seats thanks to Scott and the gang at Koyo. Free fancy food and super close seats. Our area was in the foul ball zone and we must have gotten 90% of them… there were maybe 15-20 balls caught in the seats around us. It was hard to relax with all these balls flying towards my face. That’s what she said.

Here’s my view from my seat. The dude in front of us (lower left in the pic) was some kind of teeny bopper heart throb cuz the little ones kept walking over from everywhere to get his autograph.

Ever have an old picture come back to haunt you?

How about haunting you in a good way? Logan just showed me an old picture of Nadine that Steve Demmitt took back way back when… it was definitely my favorite photo shoot ever.

Turns out Steve Demmitt was featured in a Digital Photographer magazine and he proudly presents that infamous photo of Nadine!

Old Pics from Last Father's Day Dinner

For Father’s Day, I REALLY wanted a good steak, but with our current money problems I knew we couldn’t afford a good steak. So what’s the next best thing? Going to my favorite butcher near San Marino who dry ages their own Harris Ranch beef. Still really expensive ($20 per steak) but cheaper than high grade steaks at a steak house!

We got 2 very healthy sized New York steaks. Look at the beautiful fat in the meat!

First time grilling my own New Yorks… I learned my lesson – sear for a shorter amount of time and then cook with indirect heat longer.

Ate outside with a Malbec (<3) and some roasted new potatoes.

I gotta say… even though I didn’t do the greatest job cooking the steaks, the flavor was just so awesome. After I had my first great New York steak at Houston’s last year… I pretty much never want to eat any other cut of steak.
