Buried Treasure

How to put closure to last week? Something to tie together a hurricane and pirates…?
Heh. I found it.
While preparing for what I assumed to be the inevitable long-term power outage, I made plenty of ice (empty 2-liter Diet Coke bottles are darn handy) and transferred the contents of the indoor freezer to the chest-type freezer in the garage (yes, that freezer. Trust me – it’s better now.)
I really wanted to save as much as I could, even though what was in the freezer was of no particularly great value – frozen veggies, various sausages, chicken breasts….
And….
Buried deep in the back of the freezer… a pack of filet mignon. Four of them, which I’d cut myself from a whole beef loin bought on the cheap, back around March.
Beautiful, tender, savory filets. 2-inch thick filets, perfectly preserved. Can you guess what I’ll be having for dinner tonight?
Thanks, Isabel.
