Momma made me an awesome marinated steak with a Merlot mushroom wine sauce, cauliflower, and asparagus . I’ll let Momma comment with more details…. So yummy! I believe this is the recipe. Did you tweak it at all, Momma?

Medea just ran in from outside and told me that Momma was hurt real bad! Turns out, that the trunk hydraulic broke and the trunk lid itself fell on her head! It was pretty scary to see Momma lying on the ground holding her head…

Who knew a trunk could bite so hard?
