For my wife........

[Alan]

I don't know what I'll be having tonight. I'm getting together with some guys that run an ISP to talk about network design. One of the guys had his wife volunteer to cook for us.

Ended up having a great meal, and not anything close to what I was expecting. We had lamb, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, roles, and chocolate pie for dessert.

I know.. but my wife loves to cook also. I can't even take her out anywhere because she loves her food over restaurants.

We have the same problem. We, the wife and I, like our own cooking better than almost anything we get at a restaurant.

However, there is one meal that we can't do very well....that is grill steaks. Somehow, they are never tender. I suppose we over
cook them, as neither of us like rare meat. So, we go out for a steak once in a while.

Also, we can't make good ice tea. I don't know if don't purchase the right kind of tea or just don't know how to make it. We like
restaurant tea better.

Any suggestions, (anyone) on how to make good Ice Tea?

What In the microwave... That sounds awful...

We use a mixture of Green Tea and Lipton Tea. We use a small pan to boil the water on the stove. After sugar is added. Excellent... We love it. Thanks Mom for the Green Tea idea.. It's great..

LOL! So long as it boils what difference does it make? Is it unamerican to boil water in the microwave or something?

Yeah... I boil the water with the tea bags in the pan. Is that what you do in the microwave? I guess you can do that in the microwave. To me it just doesn't have the same taste. But that's just me.

No, I take it out after it's boiling and THEN add the tea bags to steep. 'Twould taste the same if I boiled it on the stove.

Glad to know the dinner went well.

We went to J. Alexander's for dinner with Regie and Londa and the kids. I had a great turkey club and gave the french fries to my grandson! He is too cute eating fries. But he will only eat them if "Poppi" gives them to him...no one else's will do.

My wife had chicken salad and rice....found out they had almonds in the rice and we had checked with the waiter and told him she was alergic to almonds. Her dinner was free........love that alergy trick....works every time.

Seriously, great food there.
