done. I'm glad the knife was sharp.
Sounds like the steaks my parents liked.
Steak is pretty much out of my price range. Heck, hamburger (73% lean)
is on sale this week at only U$2.99/lb. And bottom round steak is U$5.99/lb. Just a few years ago ground chuck (80% leans) was 99c/lb
and top round (a much better cut of steak) was U$1.29.
We don't buy it very often any more either but do, every so often.
Other times we'll just head over to TR and walk away from the clean up. (G)
We've got a Texas Roadhouse located on an outlot of our main shopping mall. I've never visited them. Last cooked-for-me steak I had was from Goloden Corral's buffet a few years ago.
Good thing I like pork and chicken. Bv)=
I'll have to post the recipe I got last week from AllRecipies--Pork Tenderloin With Figs & Balsamic Glaze. Made it Friday night for supper; it's a keeper. It makes enough for about 8 servings so we're going to
bag and freeze a couple of meals' worth.
Was it anything like this one:
Title: Pork w/Figs, Pearl Onions & Mustard
Categories: Pork, Fruits, Condiments, Poultry, Wine
Yield: 8 Servings

Our GC shut down in 2020 and reopened as a ghost kitchen for several
take out only eateries. We looked in once, didn't see anything that
struck us as "buy me for supper!" so left and have never gone back. One thing I didn't always like about GC was having to search the buffet
lines for what you wanted to eat, and then it wasn't as good as when
food was ordered, then brought to the table. When I go out to eat, I usually would rather not have to hunt down my food; I pay to have it brought to me.

No, but this one does look interesting as well.

Our GC began as a GC (pre-buffet), then trsansitioned to a Maverick
Steak House (a quick-serve cheapy w/food/salad bar), then back to
Golden Corral Buffet in a new purpose-built building. Same owners.
They closed, of course, during the pandemic. I seldom go any more (to
any AYCE) as my appetite has shrunk with my increasing age. It's hard
to eat enoough to feel I've gotten my $$$ worth without causing major gastric distress.

It's on my short-list to convert from "archives" to "kitchen".
Made this yesterday and sent half to by brother's house. Ms Vicky was all-over the phone wanting the recipe. Bv)=
Next go I will add some steamed broccoli.

I know, I don't eat nearly as much as I used to, even 10 years ago. Usually with buffets, I'll get a small salad (easy on the greens), some sort of protein (maybe 2, depending on what they are), and some vegetables, then come back for a taste or two of dessert. At the last RV/radio rally in May, we went to an Amish buffet. I got a piece of strawberry/rhubarb pie to go, not that I didn't have room for it but I didn't want the extra carbs and calories as the last meal of the day.

It does look good. We went to Costco after my doctor's appointment
today, had lunch before starting to shop. They have a new item out, an Italian calzone with basically the same meats as on their meat lover's pizza. One calzone is big enough for us to split--and be well fed. We'd tried it a few weeks ago and liked it, so got it again today. There was
a time I could have eaten a whole one but now, even half was pushing my limit--it was, however, quite good. (G)

My favourtie Asian buffet is the lunch buffet at Flavour of India.
They don'thave abominations like strawberry-rhubarb pie (not my
favourite)
but they do have mango ice sream AYCE. I have to pull a gun on my self
to keep from doing stupid amounts.

I'd probably take some of that. The pie is a treat for me; I grew up
with my dad growing a patch of rhubarb every spring and mom making pies from it. One summer I worked at a camp and during our training week or
so, somebody had donated some strawberry shubarb pies. I like both strawberries and rhubarb, both together and separatly--those pies were yummy!

That's why we ate lunch before doing any shopping. Lots of folks out
for pre Labor day shopping so there were a lot of "try it" stands scattered thruout the store. Of the different things we tried, we
brought home some strawberry granola and a triple pack (3 different
kinds) of Kind granola bars. We didn't try a lot of stuff as we were
full from lunch but those were something we might have bought without trying anyways.

That's why there are choice. I've eaten S/R pie and find it overly
sweet for my taste. I prefer my rhubarb (and gooseberries) slightly
tart. Not "puckery" but not tooth-achingly sweet either.

I avoided the Labor Day shoppers by ordering my groceries on-line and picking them up at Hy-Vee. With my "Perks+" membership I can do either pick-up or delvery if I order more than U$25 worth. And given today's
$$$ getting to U$25 is very easy. I only order staples this way. Non-packaged meat and fresh produce I select in person. Bv)=

I like rhubarb both with and without strawberries. Just depends on if
the berries are available or not as to which way I'll get it. They're usually available around the same time in the spring here, tho finding
the rhubarb can be a bit of a challenge sometimes.

Rhubarb is pretty easy to find around here except in winter when it is dormant. It's easy to grow and does not take much tending. Suttil's
Garden has it fresh cut as well as several of the grocery stores. I'll
be able (or should be able) to harvest it in my own yard next year.

Hy-Vee's curbside pick-up has cause all of the supermarkets to offer
some form of "curbside" pickup or delivery. As they say "A rising tide lifts all boats". But things like that and their outstanding produce

them the #1 grocery store in America in USA Today's poll. #2 was Fresh Market and #3 was Wegman's.

This past spring I had to go to several grocery stores before I finally got some at Food Lion. Wegman's had it a few weeks later. I made a
rhubarb and cherry pie filling pie, couldn't really taste the rhubarb
tho. The sweetness of the pie filling overpowered the sour of the
rhubarb.

I've shopped at Fresh Market a number of times, Savannah was our first encounter with it. I was glad to see them in Raleigh and Chapel
Hill--when we first moved here, I had several medical appointments in
CH, on the UNC campus. The Fresh Market was just off campus so we
stopped there from time to time on our way home.

Which highlights my problem with strawberries mixed into my pie. I
like both. But, separately.

I've not experienced Fresh Market as all of their Illinois locations

We keep breakfast fairly simple 99.99% of the time. Easier to get up
and going after a light meal with not much clean up than something
that'll take halfway to lunch time to clean up from. Since we're
basically retired, we usually have breakfast around 9 am and then lunch around 1 pm. Lunch is usually low fuss and then supper will vary from
left overs to all out gourmet.
