When I was in high school eons ago when the world was new and all….I was not known for being cutting edge. I was the very last one to break down and try to style my hair a la Farrah Fawcett.

It’s not as bad as you may think, the leftovers are grain fed beef brisket from the dinner last night.

But they are so sweet…I needed some elusive flavor..but what? Aha!
