I drove down to West Bend , Wi. to get a Christmas s redo with my mom seeing I spent it in the hospital. Went to a fancy grocery store to get fixins for dinner and bought a beautiful ribeye steak , and I mean beautiful!!! One big steak for the both of us and thought they were $19.99 / lb. Got to the register and it rang up to $33.00 .
Turns out the price per lb. was $29.99 and the meat case was for angus steaks and the one I picked was Prime cut. Oh well, I had moms credit card and it was “Christmas “.
Well, it was the right choice and one of, if not, the best steak I ever had.
Kosher salt , cracked pepper and a little garlic powder……….Damn!!!
Almost killed me to pay $33.00 for a steak I have to cook but it was the best mistake I ever made. My compliments to the cow!!!

I happy to eat a sandwich or soup a couple of days later, to offset the steak meal cost. But we usually get two meals from a big steak. So that makes the cost tolerable.
I have begun to watch for sales at our big grocer for quality ribeyes, in their fresh cut or cut to preference butcher area. I usually find I can pick out a higher than labeled grade steak amongst the row of you-pick-em cuts in the counter. We usually buy one big steak, that I always cut up into strips about 1/2 inch thick on the board, then the pile gets treated to a scoop of herbed butter. Then we each pick the pieces we want, and usually have enough for a leftovers meal with the remaining. Yum.

Resipie..please..!

Brad, there is flour in the custard mix that settles to the bottom forming a thin soft crust that is thicker than the custard. Like a crème brûlée but different.
For my breakfast dessert this morning I brûlée’d the top of the pie with sugar and a torch. OH MY !!!

Liz here:
We went to our favorite pizza/pasta joint last night, only to discover it had been backed into and damaged by a hit-and-run (presumably) drunk driver. So we won't be going there for a while! We went to our second favorite instead, and had a nice dinner.

Few things beat a good pot roast.  It was a weekly fare at our house growing up.

I finally got back home. I took a pick of the table display for the family Rabbie Burns dinner. Brad

What would we ever do without those packets of onion soup mixes on hand?  Magic in a packet!

Those various German "Maggi" brand packets are handy as well.  Sorry, Europe, you do it too!

Brad

Variation on that:

Slice the garlic cloves & insert them in small cuts in the roast
Add some red skin potatoes (quartered-skins on)
1 cup red wine
half dozen, or so black peppercorns
more water as required
When done, remove potatoes & mash them with half & half minced garlic, & scallions
I used to do this in a crock pot, letting it cook all day while the kids were in school & I was at work.
Crock pots were a blessing for single dads
