(*One of the many perks of working at the Argentinian restaurant, La La’s, in LA was learning all the inside tricks of how the people of Argentina eat.  This item wasn’t on the menu, but if you were a part of the family,  then you could order your steak al caballo.  And if you’re familiar with the Spanish language, you know caballo is the word for horse, but there is nothing horse-y involved in this dish.  Al Caballo, in this case, refers to a sunny-side up, fried egg placed on top of your grilled steak…like a little Egg Cowboy riding atop your beef.  It’s amazing and I’m so thankful I was able to learn about it from the masters!)

    Abbey, this is an awful lot of (delicious-sounding) cooking for one week; do you never re-purpose leftovers?????

      Thanks, Gail! And I do repurpose leftovers but we rarely have a lot outside of lunch the next day. I make sure to only buy what I know we will eat..the smallest roast or tenderloins, etc. and only make small casseroles or boil the correct amount of pasta. But when I do have a lot of something, I will either repurpose it or freeze it for another time.
