The steak was approximately 4 oz. left from a larger raw ribeye I'd cut
in half and frozen a few months ago.  I seasoned the steak with salt and
let it set, then seasoned it with pepper and garlic powder.  Cooked it
in hot cast iron skillet in butter to get a nice Maillard browning
reaction on the outside yet still very nicely red and juicy inside.

The fries were from frozen, cooked in the oven, sprinkled liberally with
salt and then drizzled with a little malt vinegar.  The limas were
frozen baby limas zapped in the microwave.  I would have preferred the
larger Fordhook limas but I already had this bag of lima beans open in
the freezer.

All in all, quite a nice dinner!  What's for dinner at your house
tonight?  Leftovers? Eating out? Anything cooking?

A few weeks ago I posted a NYT recipe for shrimp and bean stew. I made
it again tonight but substituted a bag of scallops instead. They were
past their BB date and were showing some freezer burn so this seemed
to be a good way of using them.
Delicious!

I bought some frozen burritos from the drugstore. The woman at the
pharmacy was trying in vain to read the best before date but was having
a hard time. I tried to read it too but found it illegible. After a
while, I told her that I don't care about it. It doesn't matter to me.
I'll eat anything.
