We did the usual with the lobster tail and the NY strip steak ... melted butter and paprika on the lobster and broiled for 7 minutes - teriyaki, honey and pepper on the steak. The onion was drizzled with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled 6 minutes a side just like the steaks. The spinach was wilted in a large frying pan and tossed with a touch of butter, salt and pepper. The green beans were steamed for several minutes and tossed in a small frying pan with the same. Most of our veggies came from a new farmer's market that opened in Culver City called Sprouts. The lobster tails were on special this week for $4.99 each. The green beans we grew ourselves from seed in our outdoor patio garden. They were delicious!!
Our meal deserved a killer wine. We paired it with the Mesa Reserve Syrah from Zaca Mesa, an incredible central coast winery on Foxen Canyon Road in Los Olivos. This particular vintage ... 100% syrah, ...726 cases produced ... 93 points from Wine Enthusiast .... delicious and smooth as silk. Deep and dark in color with flavors of blackberries and smoky oak, it retails for $42 a bottle and can be enjoyed now or over the next 10 - 12 years.Simple, easy, and delicious.
Now we're off to the movies to get our minds bent by "Inception"!!
