Last night was: Salad Steak Fried egg Mushrooms Asparagus Corn on the cob Fudgesicle I keep saying I have to eat through what I have in my freezer, but I found some sirloin hitting its Use By Date at a good price, and I didn't have to defrost them.

Right. Cleaned up the following day. After the jerks vandalized anything that looked like a white guy from that era, and someone came behind them to reverse their stupidity.

In leading up to the Civil War, the North offered to preserve slavery but to not yield on high tariffs and other economic policies that were detrimental to the South. Lincoln even said he was ambivalent on the institution. To claim that the War was all about slavery is inaccurate. You can...

Here's another BLM-defaced statue:

That blanket statement is just untrue.

Probably revenge for what was done to Lee's memorial: Not justifying, merely offering a possible explanation.

Other than roasted with mint jelly (35 years ago), the only way I've done lamb is in a marinade of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, thyme and rosemary. Then broiled. It's so good I've not had a desire to otherwise experiment. The veal I've done with cabbage, onion and apples in chicken broth &...

It was a Walton's episode. Right after they paid off the radio, they bought a Breville.

I bought some lamb chops on sale a while ago and really enjoyed the change of pace. I've made them maybe 3-4 times since then, and also tried veal for the first time. They both make a nice change from the routine. You just gotta remember to leave enough time to marinate them properly.

Breville Oven Update So I dropped the damaged over off at the UPS Store yesterday and got my replacement via UPS today. Everything seems to be OK with this one. I've already done the inaugural "burn off the newness" drill. Now I have to wade through the manual!!! This is killing me. Last...

I discovered Mountain Dew when we moved to Virginia in 1963 and would vacation at a campground outside of Ocean City MD. They had it in a vending machine there. I drank tons of it because the water was so darned soft I refused to drink it. All that Mountain Dew couldn't have been good for me...

In the spirit of being intellectually honest, I had to look this up: The article went on to say that backyard chicken growers can ensure sanitary conditions better than the factory farms, so don't need to wash the eggs. It jives with something I read earlier when this topic was first posted...

I tell you what I discovered last year...Cowboy Cut Ribeye steak, about 1 1/2" thick. I salt it and let it sit overnight uncovered in the fridge on a cake cooling rack to "dry age." I forget what the grilling process is, with the thing being frequently turned so the heat radiates inward from...

Never tried the chicken or turkey burgers. I'll have to give it a shot. I've got some boneless breasts in the freezer. It seems that whenever I do chicken parts for dinner, it's always thighs, so the breast meat just lingers. I keep telling myself I gotta change my diet, but then I see...

I have a stand mixer with the meat grinding attachment and have ground my own chuck roast for burgers. As you know, it's like anything else you make fresh...it tastes just so much better. I forget what I added to get the fat content up. Regarding that cold shot of vodka, when I was drinking...
