Re: Recipe source

Wow Kitty...I felt like I was reading a romance book...*sigh*...he
sounds dreamy. And I could almost SEE the smile on your face when I read
that.

  I grew up with different eating habits from the rest of you. All 
vegetables were canned - as in DelMonte canned. Most meat was cooked until 
grey, had something to do with my dad's ulcer. So it's no wonder I didn't 
eat much meat; besides, there was always potato bread to fill up on. I 
remember going to my first steakhouse on my first real date in the late 
60s - I ordered a ham sandwich, explaining to my date that I don't like 
steak. In my house steak meant roundsteak, cooked forever in onion soup, 
tough as shoeleather. That's all I knew.
Then I met the love of my life. He'd been a chef. When he offered to make 
me a steak I said I don't like steak. He decided to change my mind. How 
about a salad to go with it? "I don't eat salad." (lettuce was my mother's 
bread - no one else ever touched it because we liked real bread) He made me 
the most delicious butt steak, medium rare, and a fantastic salad with his 
own recipe Roquefort dressing. I was in heaven! (heck, even without the 
food I was in heaven back then, but the steak! the salad!, ohhhh....those 
were the days!
