Gender Differences
So I think I discovered another gender difference. Yesterday was one of the seven days out of the year that it rains here in sunny So Cal. And last Sunday when my husband heard it was supposed to rain on Friday and that we had the day off together he got a gleam in his eye and he said,"You know what I want to do on Friday?" I am thinking hmmm cuddle on the couch or go to the movies or ok he is a guy we all know what he is thinking of, but alas all of those are wrong. Nope he wants to BBQ he tells me. Really? You want to BBQ in the rain?
Yesterday morning I start looking for a BBQ steak recipe and I keep thinking to myself I am so getting stuck with take out pizza because he is so going to change his mind, but whatever. However, I started thinking about the last 6 years together and I started thinking about other rainy day bbqs in our past. This is not a new obsession of his as I remember his bachelor days when he was living in his apartment and he would bbq in the rain on his balcony/patio area. Ladies, does your men have this same obsession? And don't you think this is a gender thing? Because the last thing I would have thought of yesterday was "dang it is raining cats and dogs better get the galoshes so I can bbq."
So last night at 7pm he gets his flashlight so he can hook up his new propane tank. Yes, he was probably the only person at the gas station yesterday filling up his propane tank as well. He moves the bbq as close to the patio cover as possible without being unsafe and grabs his bbq tools and starts grilling the steak...with a glass of wine and a smile...as the rain comes down around him. It made me laugh as I stood in the comfort of my kitchen warm, cozy and shaking my head.
All joking aside I do have to say the bbq steak recipe I found was really good. And the good news is you can also make it on a sunny day-like today. Enjoy!
Here is the recipe link: Spicy Skirt Steak with Avocado Dipping Sauce
Side note: After growing up in Nor Cal where it rains for 40 days and 40 nights I love how it rains for a day here and you wake up the next morning and the sun is shining and everything is beautiful.
