Jill,

Great advice! Eat the steak and leave the potatoes! Thanks!

ASIDE: Mom was such a lousy cook in the beginning. Pop bought her the
two 1950's volumes of Gourmet magazine's recipes. She became a gourmet
cook. Then, Pop started having heart attacks.

He was never overweight, but his cholesterol went through the roof and
eventually did him in (R.I.P.).

Now I have those cookbooks! :?
