\"\"<\/p>\n

What a glorious day to awake and head for the garden with the love of your life and do battle with bugs, weeds, and varmints!\u00a0 We took our coffee with us and began bright and early at 7:00 am.<\/p>\n

First things first, we placed some of the Independence Day bunting onto our front yard fence.\u00a0 All we have to do is the garage tomorrow, and the decorating for the 4th will be complete!<\/p>\n

Bunting, in the context of decoration, refers to fabric or other materials used to create festive displays, such as flags or streamers.<\/p>\n

On the way to the vegetable garden, I overheard Mary saying to herself…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We spent a couple of hours planting the new veggies and did a pretty good job.\u00a0 Then thunder<\/span> hunger struck.\u00a0 Yes, it was time to tackle the two-and-a-half-pound Porterhouse.<\/p>\n

Bringing it from the fridge using a small hand truck, I powdered its behind with a dose of salt and pepper and waited for it to come to room temperature.\u00a0 Using a nice bath towel, I gave it a rub-down and then applied a little more salt and pepper!<\/p>\n

Into the very hot pan with olive oil it went!\u00a0 Poor Domilita, she will have to clean the stove on Wednesday!<\/p><\/div>\n

The steak sizzled under the 450-degree pan for about four minutes per side.\u00a0 On the second side, I added two tablespoons of butter, making basting the steak easy!<\/p>\n

Please listen below while the steak cooks!\u00a0 We had smoke in the house, so we turned on the whole-house fan, and the smoke cleared up within seconds.\u00a0 The roar in the background is our stove fan running at full speed!<\/p>\n
