2 Things I Like
Yesterday at Costco Jie and I decided to go out on a limb and get some beef tenderloin steaks. We’ve tried their regular steaks and pork chops, and I wasn’t really a huge fan of either. Though inexpensive, the meat tended to be a little tougher than what we could get at our local grocery store, Shaw’s. The beef tenderloin was only around $11/pound, which is about what a strip steak would go for at Shaw’s, so I thought it was worth trying out. I’m glad I did, because those steaks may just make the Costco membership worth it all by themselves. They had about the perfect taste and tenderness, even though I slightly over-seasoned and overcooked them. I will definitely be buying more.
Watching football is really nice on our new HDTV with the HD/DVR service from Comcast. Last night we watched the Patriots game and during commercials I paused it and watched the Steelers game as well. In order to avoid getting hopelessly behind I just watched the actual plays in the Steelers game and fast-forwarded through everything else, but it was still nice to see substantially all of the action of both games. I really can’t wait for football season to get here.
I read on FMG’s blog today that she’s been working on only 3 hours of sleep recently, which she thought would be good prep for getting back into school. I honestly don’t know how anyone can do that. If I don’t get at least 6 hours then I’m pretty much useless, and I can’t go more than 2-3 days in a row without at least 7 hours/night. That’s one reason I’m really looking forward to this semester, no classes until 10am.
