Recipe one!

I once had to FaceTime my mom to ask how to cook rice - I was in my late 30s. Cooking is not my strong suit...I have a few go-to recipes that I rely on. That and take out. On the positive side, my ineptness generally means that I don't have to help prepare dinner when visiting family or friends. On the negative side...pretty sure that this inability has contributed to my weight gain. This is one of the reasons that I am determined to try and learn some of the basic things that I enjoy...I started big today...steak! (I know not the healthiest thing out of the gate but when I head off for my next work contract...steak will be hard to come by!)

I googled a few different recipes...and voila! I had to return it to the pan a few times to get the desired medium-rare but it was...edible by the end!

(the potato is a frozen potato that I just had to put in the oven)
