My wife and I grew up in Texarkana, TX. Her family NEVER made sweet tea. When I first got invited to dinner at their house, that was a big surprise. But I got to where I liked it.

So what is your marinade on them there steaks?

OLD family secret. Very complicated and labor intensive.

Put 'em on a platter or shallow pan and pour Kikko-Man soy sauce on em and let 'em sit for a couple of hours, turn 'em every thirty or 45 minutes, hit 'em with a touch of garlic powder when you throw 'em on the fire. Wife and I don't care for pepper on our steaks. I figure if somebody wants pepper on theirs they can add it at the table.

I have also poured the soy sauce in the freezer bags I pack the steaks in and froze 'em with it. By the time they thaw for cooking, they're marinated nicely. Whether or not that happens depends entirely on where the wife has hidden/stashed/covered up the soy sauce that week and how motivated I am to look for it at that particular point in time.

Tomorrow night it's going to be beer brats, corn on the cob and Green Flash IPA! Expecting another 80 degree day screaming for the BBQ!

Fast and easy.

BBQ chicken, potato salad
and a good wine.

So I took the fetching Mrs. GI out to dinner tonight. A good rib eye steak with lobster tail a huge salad, a baked potato and a large draft Sam Adam's Summer Ale. A wonderful feed no doubt. Now off the lanai for a Swisher Sweet King. If the world were a perfect place I could afford to eat like this at least once a week and smoke four or five Aroma De Cuba cigars a day.

Did you have loads of butter,sour cream and chives with bacon bits on the spud? It's little things that make the perfect day

Skin is the best part
