My friends were "serious eaters"; *they loved truly good food and scorned the snobbism of self-appointed "gourmets"* and one-dish amateur cooks. They didn't consider themselves gourmets, but they would confide to each other, with the air of brokers divulging something hot in the market, the addresses of good restaurants. - Joseph Wechsberg 1949

Earlier this evening we had a couple of visitors. As I'm catching up on the evening news (and by news I really mean playing BF2 Bad Company on xbox 360) I hear a little tapping coming from the sliding glass door. When I pulled back the blinds I was greeted by this little fellow and his gal. Well, I know that I startled him a bit, because he was halfway back to the lawn before I could get my camera out to take the video.
Anyhow, as you can see in the video he came waddling back over to the sliding glass door to check me out. I think I took some two minutes of video and then realized that I should probably just leave them alone. At this point I closed the blinds again and went back to the news and picked up where I left off. However, the duck had other plans. He pretty much nestled right up against the door again and proceeded to tap at the glass for a few more minutes.
I thought that was an awfully nice way for Spring to say "Hello!"
So, here's the run down. We made a special out to Green Valley Meats and picked up a killer flank steak. After that we swung by 'ol Trader Joe's for the veggies.
I have to say that the end result was fantastic.
ingredients: yellow and orange peppers, zuchini, flank steak, salt, cracked black pepper, and olive oil!
