Day 5.289: Smoke...and fire

On Sunday, to my shame, I was unable to cook the pictured steak to the required medium-rare. I did manage to give it some mesquite smoke flavour and a good sear in places.

On Sunday, to my delight, my two children who were eating (Exile #3 had just got back from a birthday party) ate first and second helpings of said - unintentionally very rare - steak without any complaints.

It's been fire safety week and our kindergartner came home with lots of fire-safety-related things - and was very cute about showing them off!
