What We’re Eating I found more steaks in the back of the freezer earlier this month and since it was cold and dreary outside, I encouraged Rob to try cooking them inside instead of out on the grill. I guess some of you folks call that a BBQ. Down here in the south we BBQ is a meat you eat not a way of cooking. Anyway,…
