We’ve been blessed with many perfect days this October, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t need to seize the opportunities we have to make the most of each one. I came home with some nice steaks in our grocery pickup today, so we decided to get them right out on the grill.

As usual Watson wanted to come out and survey everything he could from the deck while the coals burned down, and to ask to go in and out repeatedly while the meat was watched and turned.

Tracy made her special mashed potatoes, and a kale salad to turn it all into a feast.
