On a daily basis, I receive
a new group of recipes on my e-mail. I
must have signed up for this regular mailing, but I do not recall. Usually, I just delete that particular
e-mail. I already have plenty of recipes
from which to choose.
Yesterday, the
grouping was for Southern-Style Dinners.
I decided to take a look. Along
the side, not the featured dinners, was a recipe for Country-Fried Steak. Hmmm…I occasionally order this meal when
Glenn and I go out for a ‘better than Burger King’ night-on-the-town dinner. I really do enjoy Country-fried Steak covered
with thick, creamy gravy.
I decided to try the
recipe.
First, I made a
potful of mashed potatoes from the potatoes that are still located under the
ground in the garden. Glenn was nice
enough to dig me up a pail. He knew the
effort was worth a home cooked dinner.
As I prepared, battered
and fried, the cubed steaks, Glenn heated a packet of green beans that I had
put up (frozen) during the summer harvest.
After the quick frying, I added both chicken broth and milk to make the
gravy. And, you gotta add that pepper!
Oh, did I mention…
since we recently had one of our South Poll beeves butchered, I naturally used
our home-raised beef, cubed steak in particular - that is some terrific beef.
Well, it was a good
thing that neither of the kids was home…Glenn and I polished off a dinner for
four in one seating.

Unfortunately, the
leftovers were mere hopes that I would not have to cook the next evening.
