Happy New Year to you and yours and everyone else on the list who celebrates 
this one!

I laughed at this one.  At the local tavern we have been spending too much 
money on food at, they offered up a special of flat-iron steak.  Their's was 
far from pounded, but another incredible inch plus thick steak rather 
reminicent of a tenderloin steak / filet mignon.  Man can this place cook 
steak!
