I do my main grocery shopping at Safeway. For those who have a
Safeway to shop at: they now have grass fed beef in the meat case at a
really good price. If you're a "localvore"... sadly, it's from
Australia. I bought slightly under a pound of very lean rib eye
steaks today and used a cast iron pan to cook them.

Now I'm wondering if Australian cattle get any exercise, because that
meat was SO darned tender!

Served with it: Chinese broccoli, baby boc choy and button mushrooms
(what's a steak without mushrooms?), tossed in EVOO, sprinkled with
chopped fresh garlic and roasted . Everything was served with a baked
sweet potato. Yes, it was a LOT of food... but oh man - it was good.

Hubby will be a happy boy tomorrow morning because breakfast for him
will be - steak, eggs and hash browns. There's plenty of leftover
steak and I have some leftover boiled potatoes that I didn't use to
make potato salad a couple of days ago.

He'll cook for himself. I don't do breakfast/brunch unless it's a
special occasion and even when it's for entertaining purposes, I'm not
happy about being drafted for duty before noon.

I got the mayo today that you recommended. Oddly enough, the only store
that sells it here is Safeway. It was much cheaper than I had envisioned.
The large jars were $4.49 and the small squeeze bottles were $1.99. I
bought two jars. Checker said they are flying off the shelves and everyone
is raving about it. I also found Heinz less sugar ketchup which claimed to
be new but seems to me to be the same as the old Low Carb stuff. Sweetened
with Splenda. We did like that so I got a bottle. And lots of nice
produce. Went to a different one as I was in a different city. Seems to
have better produce than the one near me.

Glad you could find it. I like it and it's nice to know I can just
pick it up at Safeway when I need to replenish. Oddly, I haven't
noticed it on the shelf of the store I usually shop at. I know I've
looked at the mayo selection recently - just not specifically for that
particular one. You'd think it would stick out like a sore thumb and
I couldn't miss it, but apparently I did.

That's good news!

The Safeways in your area might not have it. I checked the store locator
and they are the only places that sell it here.

Is that like chicken fried steak? Was the gravy white? If so that's
one of my favorite meals, minus the fruit tea.

Sounds like you whipped up a tasty meal.

I completely understand that. When John visits he absolutely has to
have scrambled eggs every morning. He cooks breakfast for himself.
(Always offers to make some for me, too, but I usually decline.) I
doubt he'd go so far as to make hash browns, though. He has no great
interest in cooking. But he does know how to make great scrambled eggs.

Very similar with the exception the cubed steaks are slipped back into the gravy to lightly simmer for about an hour before serving. Gooooooood stuff!

Thanks. I prefer the wonderful, flaky crusts on good CFS and my gravy
on the side.

That's the way I make my country fried steak. Gosh, I haven't made that
in a loooong time. Might be time to do it again.

What sort of fruit tea? I had never seen the phrase before a few minutes
ago. Seems like a decent idea. I certainly love half tea, half lemonade.
I make it with green gunpowder tea, fresh squeezed lemons and sucralose.

For anyone that likes broccoli, try broccoli tea sometime and you
drink it plain with no sugar or lemon or anything added. I guarantee
you'll like it.

Put one coffee cup full of cold water into a very small saucepan.
Throw in a bunch of chopped broccoli, put a lid on it and bring to a
boil. Cook only a few minutes. Drain the water into a coffee cup, and
put the steamed/boiled broccoli into a bowl and immediately stir in
some cheese.

Eat the bowl of broccoli and cheese and enjoy the cup of tea.

Most of the fruit teas I've seen are either peach flavored or raspberry
flavored.

I dislike broccoli, but I usually drink the spinach water with nothing
added but salt.
