My first attempt at restaurant style filet mignon. Seared in cast iron with whole garlic cloves, rosemary, and (of course) butter. Finished off in a 400 degree oven to medium rare.

I was watching an interview with Scott Gorham from Thin Lizzy. He talked about how "The Boys Are Back in Town" did not make the initial cut to be on their 1976 album "Jailbreak." Their manager pushed to have it included and it ended up being their best known and most covered song.

Fantastic Franz Ferdinand concert tonight at the House of Blues in Boston. They always bring great energy. #SupportLiveMusic
In the last 4 days, I've had a chance to catch a game at the two oldest #baseball stadiums. #Fortunate
We'll miss Luis for many reasons. You could see and feel the defeat in the #NATS' players and coaches yesterday. This trend continues for a franchise that is incapable of retaining their best players. More trades to come. The annual rebuild cycle continues.
Luis Garcia Jr. debuted at 20 and played with Soto, Turner, Zimmerman, Scherzer and Strasburg. He departed today as a beloved clubhouse leader and teammate. "If everybody's going to be sad that I'm leaving, that means I've been doing things really good." natsjournal.com/p/grown-up-g...
The #NATS have not been able to strung together a winning streak this season. They will win 81-82 games which is a huge improvement. But could likely be sellers.
Final: Braves 5, Nats 4. Daylen Lile hit 2 homers and Luis Garcia Jr. came within a single of the cycle. But the team went 0-for-9 with RISP and that dropped them back to .500 at 55-55.

Please sign him long-term along with the other core players. Do not let Boras do this to the DMV anymore. #NATS

Today In 2020 - Bill Withers died from heart complications at age 81. His hits include “Just The Two Of Us,” “Lovely Day” and “Use Me.” His ballad “Ain't No Sunshine” earned him his first Grammy award.
I made a dark chocolate almond bark. Dark Lindt chocolate and roasted unsalted almonds.
Last night I made a Chana Masala with basmati rice and garlic naan. My first attempt. It turned out really good!
I'm watching some old videos of the band Chicago. Terry Kath was such a great guitarist and singer.
Just purchased tickets to see Franz Ferdinand in Boston in August. They put on a great concert. #SupportLiveMusic
Willard had a great personality. We always looked forward to seeing him on local TV in the DC area. He eventually went national, but kept close ties to his native Virginia.
Born 7 Mar 1934, Willard Scott was a US weatherman, radio and TV personality, actor, narrator, clown, comedian & author, whose broadcast career spanned 68 years, 65 years with the NBC network. Scott was the creator and original performer of McDonald's mascot clown Ronald McDonald. #WillardScott

I was sad to hear about the recent passing of John Hammond Jr. I always enjoyed his concerts. This photo is from 2015 when John received a BMA for Best Acoustic Blues Album called Timeless. RIP. #Blues
