She said, "You put coffee in that?"

The recipe for tonite was pan fried round steaks, about 3/4" thick- and Cottage fries.

The steaks came from a round roast @ $4.27/lb.
Salted and peppered on both sides and left to mull their fate.

The potatoes were sliced on the thin side (around 1/16"), and the onions at about 1/4".
The lard was just right on medium high heat, and in went the taters and onions with a dash of garlic powder and salt.

The steaks went on the lard at a high medium heat, just to get that charring taste---ummm burnt flesh!

The fries and steaks finished at about the same time (for once), and they were introduced to each other for the next step.

Using the steak pan with the good stuff stuck to the bottom, add a good splash of coffee, enough flour to make a gravy, add to taste garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Mix until the stuff on the bottom mixes well with everything else.

Let a Brit taste and see her expression that those ingredients taste so good.
I would call it Red eye gravy, but I think that's reserved for ham.


I also got most of the lawn mowed today.
Maybe the wood will be dried out enough from all this rain to finish the new entertainment tomorrow.
