March 17th, 2012

March 17th is St. Patrick's Day but we did not celebrate that this year. Our basement tenant, Tyler, turned 21 on the 16th and we had him up for a birthday dinner on the 17th.

During the afternoon rain storms I saw a rainbow. It looked like it was coming right out of our shed.


A few seconds later I noticed it was a double rainbow. Since I was talking with friends in Florida at the time it was hard to hold the phone with one hand and shoot the picture with the other. If you look where the rainbow ends on the left, just above the Shepherd's hook you can see the faint second rainbow.


Tyler was wearing an interesting shirt when he came up for dinner.


I made Flat-Iron steaks, marinated in balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard and a little bit of thyme, once cooked they were topped with glazed pecans and bleu cheese crumbles. We also had broccoli and roasted garlic mashed potatoes.


For dessert I made a strawberry cheese cake but forgot to take a picture of it,,,,must have been the fault of the wine.
