Who are we?

[Chewy]

A buddy of mine took his first college teaching position in Houghton,
he and his wife made it 3 winters, she came south, he followed.
His sons had gone off to college and he had to shovel the snow by himself.

I lived in Kalamazoo for 1 1/2 yrs, Hubby and I got our degrees at Western.

I'll be on the Western campus for the next two years (roughly). I actually go to Ferris State, but pharmacy students get divided up between K-zoo and Grand Rapids for the last two years.

[MikeyBK]

Have you ever seen Frank Caliendo's Farley impersonation???

I do remember seeing someone imitate Farley and it made me laugh soo hard because he did it so well, must be what you're talking about ! Farley was a Gem, he'll be sorely missed.

Paglamon: Over here Indian food is a delicacy. You wouldn't believe how much money it costs. One day after paying $80.00 U.S. for a take-out order for 3 , I figured there must be a better way. I found an Indian grocery store and the women there was generous and showed me how to cook what I liked. The same $80.00 meal for 3 costs about $12.00 when you do it your self. I would love to take a trek to the mountains.

@ZeroG

Marinate steak in red wine, I prefer chiraz, and Dale's or Moore's marinade. If you don't have access to the marinades you can dilute worchestershire sauce to accomadate. Fill up container with wine until it cover half of the meat and then top off with the other marinade. I like mine to sit for a least 3 hours, but an hour will do.

I have a nice little rub and mixture I use on my steaks. A few hours like you say and they are ready to throw on. Super high heat on grille for a very short amount of time and they are just right. Nice rare/medium rare.

I also have one for enchilada soup it is very good
