That's why I love to eat ostrich. I certainly didn't grow up with wealth - 6 siblings and my dad was an enlisted man. By the time I got to the stew at dinner, there often wasn't meat left in it. This is mainly why we had lots of dear and moose. My dad hunted.

Ha! Sounds similar to me, but fewer siblings. My brother and I used to fight over who got to use the hand-crank grinder to grind the deer meat for burgers.

Do you have a good recipe for ginger beef? My husband has tried a batch and they aren't working for me.

Beef stew with ginger is all I could find in my card index box

half a pound of cubed chuck steak, two ounces of flour, one pinch of freshly ground pepper, one pinch of salt,
1.5 teaspoons of ground ginger, three tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of grated fresh gingerroot,
one clove crushed garlic, two sliced onions, half pint of beef broth, one can of diced tomatoes, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and one can of drained kidney beans - this serves four people - have not made it in quite a while.

Last night I selflessly () supported my favorite local pizza place by getting a few pizzas delivered (with a huge tip, of course!!). Now I have pizza for 3 days

Today, my neighbour asked if he could bring steaks over to grill at our house. Always love a free steak dinner

Last night for dinner: Spicy crawfish boil with corn on the cob, potatoes, heads of garlic, and andouille sausage.

Today for leftovers: crawfish omelette for breakfast, and everything else for lunch and dinner!

My daughter's boyfriend once did salmon for us - steamed in parchment in the oven. He topped it with a lovely dill sauce.

Incidentally, we recently started roasting almost every vegetable rather than steaming. We did a meat fondue a few months ago and wanted simple to prepare sides. Put baby potatoes, cut up squash, mushrooms, cauliflower on a baking sheet with olive oil, salt and pepper. They were delicious. We did that with broccoli last week and I will never eat steamed broccoli again. The taste was so different.

When I steam vegetables I always put herbs and spices in the water, which makes all the difference to the taste of the vegetables, should have mentioned this. Also important not to over steam vegetables. Also love roasting vegetables the same way, with olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Just wonderful....

Yesterday for dinner - beef roll ups. Beef, sliced thin and pounded sort of flat. Marinated in soy sauce, brown sugar, chili paste. Then wrapped around pepper slices and green onions and grilled.

We generally bring it as an appetizer - bite size. But you can easily make them larger to serve as a meal. We had them by the pool - appetizer size

Tonight, along with the chicken - I'm doing sauteed swiss chard (picked from the garden) with garlic and bacon
