Steak is Best with Blue Cheese!!

This is the first weekend in living memory when Craig and I were home AND with no huge bike ride, so we celebrated with a nice dinner on Saturday.  I went to the farmers' market and got a couple of grass-fed local t-bones, some baby squash, and country bread from 7 Stars.  First, though, the appetizers.  We had Dogfish 90-minute and Food Should Taste Good jalapeno flavor chips with Megan-style guacamole.  I like my guac super simple, just avocado, cilantro, lime, garlic and salt, no fancy-addins.  Those chips are sooo good.
Craig did an excellent job manning the grill with his headlamp on.  While the steaks rested he grilled the squash and the bread.  I sauteed some of our home-grown golden chard with currants, and we topped the bread with garlic, salt and good Spanish olive oil.  The steaks were a perfect medium-rare, and that bit of Danish blue on top made every bite wonderful.  We drank another wine club selection, Green & Red Vineyards Zinfandel Chiles Canyon 2006, an excellent zin for a meal, really nice and full without getting in the way of the food.
