Just reminding every one to look for these economy Rib eyes. They will not be in the big chains, but in your smaller IGA type stores. ( Piggly Wiggly for me). It cuts into very tough steaks but some of the best burger you ever had. I aged this one around 3 weeks. I'm guessing this ground to...

Spam on the grill. I hang at a little bar about 1/3 mile from my house. Here lately we have been seeing these Spam commercials on TV that have been driving us nuts. They make the Spam look so good. So I told everyone in the afternoon crowd, I was going to BBQ some with some light sauce and...
