The last steak-out



Again from M & M Meats in Jim's Farmers Market, downtown Chambersburg: was gazing longingly at some beautiful ribeyes I spotted through the display glass. Was asked: see anything you like? I said: the ribeye looks great, but the price--$12.99 a pound? I suppose with the cost of beef skyrocketing you can't keep prices the way they were, and--what's that? You're letting me have it for $9.99? Really?

Two steaks then, please, two inches thick each.

Summer again, and beef cheeks in a chocolate-wine sauce

 Summertime!

Shopped at Hess Farms and managed to score the gorgeous fruits and vegetables seen above (down PA 316 between Stitely and Poe Road--drive on Wayne Avenue past Giant, past the new Sheetz gas station, past the intersection between Wayne and New Franklin Road till you see their sign). 

The zucchini and broccoli were turned into a chop suey with prawns; the strawberries were insanely sweet, far more flavorsome than anything from a supermarket; the shortcake was for cutting into chunks, to be layered with sliced berries and whipped cream (as if! The fruit was gone before the day was done).
