Today...round steak WITH the bone and mashed potatoes and gravy.
YES...FINALLY! I have searched high and low...left and right...inside and out for a round steak with the bone. I remembered my Mom used to make it for us all the time but I never, ever see it in the stores anymore.
Where did I get it? My Slightly Older Sister brought it all the way from PA for me! She know's a butcher that raises his own cows and well...you know...next thing you know, it's steak for everyone! Gotta tell ya, this steak had the flavor you never find in store bought meats. She brought us some ground beef and I have another round steak in the freezer. Man-O-Man, that was one tasty steak. You can even tell the difference when it was cooking...you can actually SMELL it cooking throughout the house. I told my Dad before, that I can never really smell meat when it's cooking anymore...if I had the freezer space, I'd have my Slightly Older Sister bring me a side of beef the next time she visits.
I think Alain was able to smell it all the way up the tree.
My Dad and I are happy little campers today...with visions of Lucy locked in that big old walk in freezer!
