 Here are some helpful hints for low-fat Grilling!

Starting The Fire

Temperature

Beef should be grilled at medium temperature. To check the temperature of coals, hold the palm of your hand 4 inches above the coals. If heat forces you to pull your hand away...

Actual cooking time will vary depending on the position of the meat on the grill and the degree of doneness desired.

Beef Doneness Guide

The best way to determine doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Always cook ground beef to medium doneness (160 degrees F). If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook ground beef until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear. Test burgers by cutting them in half.

It's perfectly safe to enjoy steaks while they're still pink in the middle. Use the following guidelines to determine your preference:

Best Beef For Grilling

Grilling is a low-fat cooking method, because as the meat cooks, the excess fat drips off the meat and into the fire. Of course steaks and burgers are the standard grilling favorites, but don't forget about beef kabobs and ribs! Grilling even gives beef roasts a great smoky flavor.

Blonde Cook Book

MONDAY: It's fun to cook for Bob. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls. TUESDAY: Bob wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Bob brought a friend home for supper. WEDNESDAY: A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kinda of silly but I took a bath. I can't say it improved the rice any. THURSDAY: Today Bob asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Which is what led up to Bob asking me why I was rolling around in the garden. FRIDAY: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put all ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left. SATURDAY: Bob did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Bob keeps counting to ten. SUNDAY: Bob's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast. All I could find was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Bob. If we could just get a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with Chocolate Moose.

"Veal Marsala con Funghi"

If Quark makes it, will it become "Ferengi Veal Marsla con Funghi"?

Quark is the Ferengi bartender on DS9. The Ferengi race, as seen in The Next Generation, are ugly, sexist, greedy little aliens who are interested only in profit and getting theirs hands on anything of yours they happen to fancy. Quark runs many of the entertainment concessions on DS9. He has a bar, a restaurant, a gambling house (dabo), and the holosuites upstairs where your every fantasy can be played out. He spends most of his time behind the bar. If there is some scam being run in the sector it often involves him. But beyond that, he is a charming host, in a Ferengi sort of way. He forges interesting relationships with Captain Sisko and Constable Odo. He lends a hand to dissolve problems as long as there's something in it for him. His completely sexist attitude makes Kira an obvious adversary and he is consumed with passion for Dax.

Well if it's a real authentic Oktoberfest you'll want big soft pretzels, salted white radishes, and Festbier.

Of course there also Schmalzbrot which is essentially lard with little pieces of crumbled bacon smeared on a piece of sturdy bread. It tastes like, well, lard on a piece of bread but it does line the stomach nicely for a lengthy round of bier drinking.

When I was a kid we used to smear butter (the real stuff!--not that fake oil and water hydrogenated stuff they palm off on us now) on a slice of bread and then coat it with sugar. Or we'd take a slice of bread and sprinkle it with sugar and pour milk over it for a real treat. Maybe that's why I'm not much of a bread eater now...over kill as a child!

We used to just sprinkle sugar on our bread. If we were feeling particularly energetic we'd make cinnamon toast- just well-bettered bread with cinnamon-sugar on it, toasted on a cookie sheet.

And French toast in the morning... egg and milk-soaked bread with cinnamon sugar, fried in butter in an iron skillet. We'd drizzle it with maple syrup.
