I scored two nice Filets Mignon wrapped in bacon already.



I can't burn on the outside grill, so I must use the black skillet. That's fine.

But I have a quandary here. I do have baking potatos, so I will do one of those. But, I need to make up my mind about the side dish and presentation.

Here are the choices because I have the ingredients:

1. Do the filets in a balsamic glaze.
2. Skip item #1 and smother the finished filets in Gorgonzola.
3. Make a Gorgonzola sauce and lay that on the steak, but have the balsamic glaze, too.

then...

1. Lay the steaks on a bed of fresh spinach.
2. Lay the steaks on lightly broiled asparagus.
3. Lay the steaks on Arroz (golden Mexican style rice)

I could use some suggestions. Vote in the comments below and choose one from each group of three.

I am trying to accomodate the Humane Society's wish to take the web site from my hands (Along with many friends here and abroad I saved the damn site and domain name from extinction... and now they want to have it all to themselves. So much for working pro bono (FREE)... ah, well.)

The problem is that in order to switch all the pertinent items I must give the site host a payment method. I do not wish to continue using my credit card numbers, and they must have a plastic number on file. It's how the world works. The Humane Society objects to giving me the number, so I suggested they call the hosting people and give them the numbers instead of me relaying them. The problem encountered is that since I own and operate the site, I must be the one to input all the changes.

Life gets more complicated each day.

On Facebook this is "Doppelganger" week. That means you put up an avatar photo of someone who looks like you (or you think that you look like them.) First, I put up a pic of Kurt Vonnegut. I have been told many times that I resemble him. He is dead. I ain't. Well, I no longer have curly hair so I switched my avatar this morning. It is a man walking toward you on a rainy NYC street. He wears a long rain coat.

When I was younger I did look like him, and that was great because I believe he was a superb actor. Unfortunately he drove a Porsche into a fatal accident in the desert.

But I did look just like him.

If you don't know who he was, then you are a very young person. Go on NETFLIX and rent GIANT.

Today would have been my first wife and my 42nd anniversary. I sent her an email and said that I would toast to her good health, which like my own, improved after the divorce. LOL. We are friendly, and that is sort of amazing. Age mellows or doesn't, depending on the people who age.

Ray LaHood, the transportation secretary, said Wednesday morning during a House Appropriations panel hearing that owners of recalled Toyotas should stop driving them and take them to their dealers to be repaired. Lots of parked Toyotas soon. I have a 2001 Solara, and I tore out the floormats years ago. That was defect number one. Now the newer models have a sticking gas pedal. I'm "safe," until a new problem comes up. I really like my car. So do deer. It might not be a chick magnet but it attracts deer like flies.
