My parents were dairy farmers who didn't have a lot of money when they started out. When the cows couldn't produce milk anymore, they were slaughtered, frozen and we ate them. The oldest one that this happened to was Gentle (nearly 29 years old), so you can guage how tender they might have been. When we became a little more successful, we were able to buy Aberdeen Angus steaks. My mother continued to treat the meat in the same manner. First, sear the meat in a frying pan at high temperatures to seal in the juices. Second, pour water over the meat. Third, turn down the flame to a simmer. Fourth, go out and rake a field of hay or (insert other activity taking between 1 and two hours). We had the most wonderful gravy - and string. :laugh:

I concur - customers are thick... I swear this is true - I had a customer for a software product phone up for support. He was absolutely *furious* because he could not get a report for the 31st April!! Chris Bray

That's hilarious. You gave me a mental image of Groucho Marx's, "Say the secret woid and win $50", with a duck dropping out of the ceiling with the "Don't Panic" sign attached and a flashlight, already switched on. Thanks! :laugh:
