Lol, I think that sounds great too!  That way if we want to, it's no be deal.
I'll dig up some of ours as well... I think I have them up in the attic (g).

Oh, that's good.  You don't want to give your back any grief with something
like this ..

Sounds like a really nice mix for this chilly weather.. :)

Here's a recipe for you to safely try your hand at somewhat Italian cooking
:)  It's not really Italian, but uses Italian seasonings (and more (g)).

====Italian Stuffed Roast Beef===
1 roast beef, whatever size you like. 1/2 cup grated Locatelli Romano Cheese
1/2 cup chopped Flat-leaf Italian Parsley 4 cloves garlic, minced
Preheat oven to 500F.
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper

Put the Roast Beef in the roasting pan and use a sharp knife to make 1" gashes
all over the beast (er roast).. maybe 4 or 5 across the top, 4 or 5 down the
sides, etc. Mix the grated cheese, parsley and minced garlic well, and with
your fingers, stuff some of the mix in each of the gashes.. With a good salt
and pepper grinder/shaker, cover the roast with Garlic Salt and then black
pepper.  It should be covered pretty evenly. Put the roast in the pre-heated
oven, and immediately reduce the heat to 350F.  Roast according to you tastes,
we like RARE roast beef, so I generally cook it for 20-25 minutes a pound.

Take care,
Janis
