We're having cheesesteaks again tonight, and now I look forward to inappropiate jokes. Fantastic! And I was planning on doing the pounding (shut it!) before The Husband got home...but now maybe I'll wait and we can see how grateful he really is! Ah, thanks, Sid.

I told her she made me sound all ungrateful, and she was like 'oh no, nobody will take it that way' (said in my best cute squeaky voice). And thanks for reminding me about all the innappropriate jokes I should be making! Thank you Sid.

And the husband.</blockquote> You're husband should feel grateful for you providing such excellent food. ;) The temptation is almost too much. Meat? Pounding? So many jokes, so inappropriate a place. Sound’s like a great time, Bridget!

In the land of apartment cooking, you piss off the neighbors. And the husband.

You’re husband should feel grateful for you providing such excellent food. ;)

The temptation is almost too much. Meat? Pounding? So many jokes, so inappropriate a place.

Meaning I basically like whatever is put in front of me and I have trouble discerning small differences in food. I was brought by a single mom who worked 2-jobs and was forced to feed us whatever was available, cheap, and quick. So I grew up with a palette trained on Steak-Ums, Froot-Loops, and Kraft Mac & Cheese. So basically anything Bridget makes for me tastes great! The philly cheese steaks were really good! Yes, the meat was burnt in one place and we had to open up all the windows and doors when the apartment filled with smoke. I'm just glad I didn't accidentally hit her as I was swinging the door in and out while she was coming back in from the cold with the steamy pan in her hand. So far with Bridget's cooking there's basically good, and better. Since she said these Philly's weren't her best then I'll call them good. I can't wait for the 'better' redo!

I definitely under-utilize the butcher. Hmm…that’s a good idea. I definitely under-utilize the butcher.

I've never actually tried it, but I read they will. I've had the butcher cut up steak into cubes or strips for me and debone roasts. You just need to go by the meat section first so they have time to do it while you do the rest of your shopping. Bridget,
