Hi Michael,

 RH> OK, maybe 5 or 6 cuts done up in different ways.  I do remember the
 RH> sirlion steak, tips and filet mingon fom Western Sizziing, plus I'm
 RH> pretty sure there was a chopped steak varient.  Too many years since
 RH> those places went all buffet to remember it all.

 ML> I can't recall the last time I went to a steak buffet such as
 ML> the Golden Corral or the Sizzler or Ponderosa - the circumstance
 ML> that caused me to go to Hooters was that the only local alternative
 ML> was one of these. I have experienced regular buffets with a "steak"
 ML> station, though; those steaks aren't very good, in my experience.

Golden Coral, Ryan's, Sizzler, etc all have an extensive buffet with
steak as one of their meat choices.  Usually you can catch a cook
grilling at one of the stations; the meat is variable in quality
however.  Sometimes Steve and I have hit it within a few minutes of each
other but wide varience in the steak.  This was at the GC in Savannah;
after we found another buffet place, we stopped going to GC.  The other
was about all Southern cooking (read Paula Deen's but less expensive)
and very popular, especially Sunday noon meal time.

 RH> We got a good rib eye from Lowe's on Saturday.  Grilled it part rare,
 RH> part medium. Saved some of the rare and heated it with pepper & onion
 RH> for fajitas for lunch today.  It was just as good on the reheat as the
 RH> original cooking.

 ML> A tough cut will suffer more from reheating than a tender one.
 ML> Ribeye can suffer many tribulations and still be quite edible.

This piece had no tribulations at all; we treated it well and got 2 good
meals each out ofit.

 RH> I've seen movies more recently but none in a while. We're debating
 RH> going to "UP'; the newest Pixar one.

 ML> To my knowledge I have never seen a Pixar movie, unless Shrek
 ML> was one (I saw part of it on the airplane). Actually, I might
 ML> have seen parts of Pixar movies, but I'm not quite certain what
 ML> Pixar is.

Pixar is a studio, now merged with Disney but still very independant.
Looking over at our DVD collection, I see "The Incredibles", "Cars",
"Ratatoulle" and "Wall-E" right off with the Pixar label on them.  I
think the "Shrek" movies are out of the Dreamworks studio; we don't have
any Shrek movies so I can't say for certain.

 RH> Lowe's had mangoes, buy 2, get 3 free the other day so we did so.
 RH> Steve's talking about mango sorbet.

 ML> Do you have an IC maker, or is the laborious freeze partially
 ML> and then scrape with a fork method in your future?

We got a small freezer last month at Khol's.  They were having a sale on
something we needed so we browsed the new (opened in April) store here
in WF when we went over.  Saw that, it was on sale and we got an extra
savings.  We've made plain vanilla and vanilla with chocolate chips;
both have been very good.  It uses a liquid filled base that is frozen
before you put the ingredients in, no salt or extra ice needed.  We keep
the base in our chest freezer between batches so it's always ready for
use.

 ML>       Title: Easy Freezer Strawberry Sorbet
 ML>  Categories: Desserts, Ice cream
 ML>    Servings:  6

 ML>       2 pk Unflavored gelatin                       -about 3 pints
 ML> fresh       1 c  Sugar                               1 c  Cranberry
 ML> juice cocktail       3 c  Water                             1/4 c
 ML> Fresh squeezed lemon juice       1 qt Pureed strawberries

This is different, using cranberry juice.
