Chateaubriand

My mother has a pet peeve. 

People will say they are going to

"make a turkey," or some other such thing,

to which she will respond, 

"you are going to prepare a turkey. Only God can make a turkey."

I have heard this so many times over the course of my life

that I now say the same thing. 

So I have been hesitant to say that I 

made a Chateaubriand.

But, I did.

It's an act of butchering. 

Not an act of God.
