I have not been writing my blog this week due to not really cooking. It has been so hot, over 100F!, all week. We have been eating take-out and leftovers from lunches out all week. Last night we waited until after it was almost dark to grill the steak and potatoes. It is unfair to ask John to stand over a hot grill in the blazing sun. We still have three more days of extremely hot temperatures but I think we are just going to turn on the air conditioning and cook, electric bill be damned.

Anyway we had the flank steak on Friday and although it turned out a little less rare than we normally like it was tasty and went well with the grilled Russet potatoes and steamed broccoli.
