It&#8217;s been a pretty quiet and somewhat productive 1st day of the year. I am reaching the end of my annual holiday break and I am really not ready to go back to the usual routine in a little more than a day. I don&#8217;t think any of us are. It&#8217;s going to be a rough 4 days getting back into things&#8230; also establishing a &#8220;regular&#8221; schedule with the dog who&#8217;s only been with us since just before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just shouted &#8220;EASY!&#8221; for the 100th or so time today as the dog has leapt\u00a0off the couch at full speed and charged across the house. Our previous dog died a year ago and it&#8217;s been really nice having canine companionship again. It&#8217;s also been downright frustrating as we are dealing with a full sized dog that acts like a puppy with very few puppy manners. But we adopted so&#8230; yay for us.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I managed one final achievement of the year: I topped myself with cooking the best steak of my life (so far). I have this thing where I love to cook and I have personal pride in my ability to cook a really really good steak (among other things). I have a well established indirect grilling method that I use in conjunction with a spice blend of my own creation. Last night&#8217;s creation was done using a combination of Sou Vide and cast iron pan. Turned out beyond amazing. It wasn&#8217;t even fancy meat either.. just some basic Costco choice cut tenderloin.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibit A:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrisonjian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FB_IMG_1483234212699.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-93\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chrisonjian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FB_IMG_1483234212699-744x419.jpg\" alt=\"fb_img_1483234212699\" width=\"744\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chrisonjian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FB_IMG_1483234212699-744x419.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.chrisonjian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FB_IMG_1483234212699-420x236.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.chrisonjian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/FB_IMG_1483234212699-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am really not ready to go back to work.

It is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>So new year, new projects&#8230; I&#8217;ve got a dog to train, a house to work on, and a web magazine to build (more on that another time). I also have a new musical thing in the works but we&#8217;ll see how that goes. More than enough to keep me busy. Time to get going on all that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But first..
