I am battling a nasty cold - at least I hope it's just a cold - and haven't been able to sleep for the past couple of nights. I've tried laying low and avoiding alcohol, but I think today maybe I should try working out and drinking wine since the other approach isn't working! I cooked - barely - last night.

Steak Caesar Salad
I grilled two of the new Safeway Organics NY strip steaks - even though I have local beef I wanted to try them to see how they taste. Although they had great flavor and texture, I'm still unsure how the cattle were raised (free range, grass-fed versus confined feeding operation) so I would need to research their supply more before endorsing it. I sliced the steak and served it over a bed of Romaine tossed with Caesar dressing, Parmigiano Reggiano, and garlic croutons.
