Steak Night with the BFF's

What are the elements of a great outdoor dinner?

Number 1:  A perfect piece of steak
Number 2:  Yummy sidings
Number 3:  The best friends evuuuurrr
Number 4:  A bottle of tequila

and

Number 5:  Fireworks

All these were evident last night when Arnel invited our friends over his place for steak.  We had filet mignon and ribeye steaks good for grilling.  We each had our generous slice of beef that was cooked exactly how we wanted it - i always want my steak medium rare; my filet mignon was perfect!  Most of them preferred it to be well done. Either way, the steaks were oh-so-good! :)
my plate
Melissa cooked baguio beans with garlic while Lyndy brought baked potato topped with creamy ham.  Aside from setting up the table, i also brought locally grown corn and some potato chips.  Our sidings went so well with the steak - we even had to cook a second batch of the veggies!  Lyndy's potato dish was so good, too, that we finished all of it in a jiff.
We laughed over old school games from Nintendo, Filipino movie stars of the 90's (and where they are now), unforgettable declamation pieces from grade school, etc.  We finished a bottle of silver tequila before shifting to brandy.  Since it was the eve before Chinese New Year, we heard fireworks as we stayed out under the stars 'til past midnight.

The highlight of the night for me must be the scene when Lito sang Sukiyaki in Nihonggo.  This was probably the first time i heard a tipsy Ilocano man sing in fluent Japanese. ;p
