 ML>> So what did I do? Went to New England, where I am now. Still

It's been a winter for record-breakers...  We've had a number of low
records broken here, in the last few weeks... probably Boston's snow
record will be broken, too...  :)
 
 ML>> Didn't do it. Eventually took my brother to Texas Roadhouse
 NB>> Where at least you got some real protein... ;)
 ML>> and then flew ont and on the way paid a dreamed-about visit
 ML>> to Sam & Harry's, where the steak, though good, was not as
 ML>> good as before (the place also now has a fancy menu with
 ML>> pictures instead of the computer-typed one of last year).
 ML> Report to follow. This became a meat orgy embedded in a mileage
 ML> run (with detours) that was mostly enjoyable and rather costly.

At least it was mostly enjoyable... ;)  Report read and enjoyed.  :)
 
 NB>> Humph... spending the money on the menus instead of the food.. not
 NB>> good... ;)
 ML> That's what I was thinking.

Doesn't hurt to have a pretty menu, but the food should be more
important...  :)
 
 ML>> I've been getting 12-ouncers or better at every opportunity
 ML>> since, thus putting my budget into worse jeopardy than before.
 NB>> Understandable reactionary actions... but buying them at the market
 NB>> would be a little easier on the budget, no...?   I know, that not
 NB>> being one of the options available... :)
 ML> Actually, not so much. If one wants steakhouse quality meat
 ML> from the supermarket, one pays near steakhouse prices, then
 ML> there's the issue of how to cook it. All of the steakhouses

Unless one eats it raw... but still the pricier meat, granted...

 ML> in the report to follow have grills or broilers that cook
 ML> far hotter than what I could with the ancient electric coils
 ML> at the house - not to mention the lack of a proper cast iron
 ML> skillet, not to mention the issue of smoke detectors.

Ok, good point..  :)
