A Celebration - The Greatest Steak Of My Life

 

Song:  Nothing Else Matters Medley

My life took another leap today...

as it smoothly tracks upwards and forwards once again...

and so...

I just had to celebrate by going to a steak house in Cripple Creek...

not even 20 minutes from home.

I had always wanted to try it...

and on this evening...

try it I did.

Shortly after exiting my mountain ridge road...

there was this small herd of deer crossing the road...

and so...

I stopped to let them cross as I took some photos.

The wildlife is used to people...

and so...

they amble about without a care.

I continued on to the main road on the way to Cripple Creek...

and to Saltgrass Steak House in one of the casinos in town.

The restaurant is at the end of one of the hallways in the casino.

I had never before been here...

but I had heard good things about it.

This was near the restaurant entrance.

As I waited for a seat...

I took some pics inside the rotunda.

I first received some complementary fresh and hot bread with creamy butter...

along with my Raspberry iced tea.

And from my seat in a booth...

I just started taking more photos all around me.

My appetizer arrived...

battered mushrooms with Ranch dipping sauce.

I loved these.

They were just so tasty...

and had arrived quite fresh and hot.

I then had a Caesar salad.

And then my delicious 21 0z Porter House Steak arrived (.60 kilos).

OMG!!!

I had bitten into steak heaven.

It was so juicy and well spiced...

as I chewed...

some of the meat juices actually spurted out my mouth!

There was absolutely no need for any supplementary sauces...

as the steak was so perfectly cooked and just filled with juicy goodness.

You can see the meat juices on the plate.

The outside flame sear added such flavor.

It was the best steak I have ever had in my life.

And...

this restaurant is less than a 20 minute drive from home.

On my way back home...

with a full belly...

with the wind in my hair...

with a song on my lips...

and with a smile on my face.

I was about 10 minutes from home here.

--------

My life is steadily falling into place...

with even more heavenly things to shortly come.

--------

I am so full...

so deeply satisfied...

that I am going to bed early...

to just watch some DVDs until I get sleepy.

Life is so sweet...

just so wonderful.

This is how life is supposed to be.
