We are visiting family in Massachusetts. They had bought a whole beef tenderloin and I was asked to help get it ready to grill. I remembered having read just that morning a recipe for a spice rub for steak in a magazine I brought with me on the plane. I found the magazine, and found the recipe, which was titled "coffee spice rub". They didn't have all of the ingredients that the recipe called for, but had most of them, and the results were pretty darn good. I also made a mushroom sauce to top the steaks and a vegetable lo-mein side dish and a mixed green salad.

Snow flurries!? ugh. It's chilly here this evening after a sunny day. Altho throughout the afternoon I couldn't make up my mind if I was hot or cold. One minute I needed a coat, the next I was sweating. Drove a neighbor to a greenhouse to get some flowers to plant her containers, came home and then drove my Mom to a different greenhouse to buy the begonias she always plants in front of her fence. We ended up at a second greenhouse where she bought three large hanging boston ferns which are gorgeous and some plants for her garden urns. I bought two flats of annuals, which I don't want to put out right away as we expect an overnight temp of 35 Sunday night or Monday morning. But I was afraid the plants would all be sold if I waited. Anyway, I fried sausage, potatoes and onions, and had corn as a veggie. Then Raspberry sherbet swirled with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

A new chicken dish for me. Donna on Cooking forum posted a recipe for Peruvian Chicken with a green sauce a couple of days ago. I have it prepped and ready to put into the oven in about another 45 minutes, green sauce made. I think rice and steamed carrot sticks for sides.

We went to Popeye's, for the first time, last night. Finally. We've been seeing the commercials for at least 15 years and one finally opened in a nearby town. Everything was too spicy for me. I ate a couple of bites of chicken and the biscuit. Gave everything else to hubby. He liked it, but the portions are so small. After he ate both of our dinners, he came home and had a big bowl of cereal with fruit.
