Creating and Creator

Have you ever been watching a cooking show 

(PBS) and realized you had everything they 

were about to prepare in your fridge?

It has NEVER happened to me before.

I jumped up and grabbed these:

a skirt steak, sprouts, a lemon, almonds, and butter.

Rough chop these and dry roast in skillet

 for a few minutes, just to enhance flavor.

Remove from skillet set aside.

Meanwhile in separate skillet over high heat throw

 ( forgot to photograph)

 in the skirt steak and brown 3-5 minutes each side.

 Rough shred some sprouts using a knife, 

and toss into the skillet where you prepared the almonds,

along with 2 TB butter.

Saute a bit, as they begin to soften, 

throw in some squeezed lemon, I only

 used 1/2 and some Kosher salt.

When steak is medium rare

 (for me a total of 6 1/2 minutes)

remove and set aside.

Finish up sautéing sprouts and toss in the almonds.

Slice steak thinly.

All told less than 8 minutes from start to finish.

I do love me some brussel sprouts as you can see,

and I am getting bored with oven roasted...finally.

An unusual Saturday lunch for me,

I rarely bother, and it was delicious!

So now I settle in to watch Lawrence of Arabia

 because I have an unending love affair with Peter O'Toole.

I may have to watch Creator and 

My Favorite Year this evening.

sigh*swoon*sigh

if you are unfamiliar with these 2 films,

well do yourself a huge favor and get them somehow

The BIG PICTURE

and if Peter does not ring your bell Vincent Spano just might : D
