I can't suggest anything to him. He just doesn't "get" it. The more I say,
the worse it gets, so I'm trying not to mention it. I just keep telling her
she did nothing wrong.

I have since looked up the seasoning and she didn't use too much. He is
claiming he only likes his steak with no seasonings whatever on it. Which
we know is not true. I always season the steaks when I make them and I know
restaurants do too.
