The other night I had to come to terms with the fact that there are some things I just can't do. Starting a wood fire is one of them. Tonight I had another realization. No matter how nice the cut of beef is, I can't make an edible steak. I either overcook it and it becomes something like really nasty gum or it is so rare on the inside that it is still chewing its cud.
Today I hauled scrap metal to the dump on my lunch hour. This may not seem like much, but it's another of those things I have never done before. Each one gives me a lift - like maybe I can do this on my own. Maybe I can make a good life for my children. Maybe I can provide a nice home and meet their needs. And maybe, just maybe, someday I will be able to make a steak.

Just cook your steaks slow and steady. A good marinade with pineapple in it helps too. And take it out or off or where ever you cook it just before it is the perfect doneness as it continues to cook a bit after it is done. Waalaah!
