Random Esquire

How do two people spend $250 at CostCo? Being crazy helps.

We purchased a beef tenderloin which I then trimmed and cut into perfect 1 1/2 inch filets which I would love to grill. If I had a grill. (Insert frown at Boss.) Instead, my plan is to sear them on my new 10 inch All-Clad stainless pan, get some good frond going, deglaze with some brandy, add cream, and serve. Maybe. Who knows, really. I am a tempermental cook. I might just serve Frosted Mini-Wheats all week long.

Last night, I made a beef curry dish. Surprisingly, Boss ate some. This is surprising because when I met Boss, she would not eat anything more exotic than a turkey sandwich. Speaking of turkey sandwiches, I just packed Boss’s lunch. I started packing her lunch when I realized her knees were getting larger. Then, of course, I realized that her knees weren’t growing. Her legs were getting skinnier. So I started a Random Household Government program and each morning, she is issued a cup of coffee in a to-go cup, a turkey sandwich, piece of fruit, pretzels, cheese stick and a package of daily vitamins.

Little Filthy got tenderloin broth on top of his dog food. And baby carrots.

We take care of our citizens here.
