Good morning, everyone!
Nice to have it at -24 instead of -40!

Had a decent day yesterday, dealing with same old - plus the new blisters which burn because they have the magical silver meds on them. I know it helps so much, just must deal with the pain.

Milan came over for supper last night - food from a new Texas BBQ place here - most amazing ribs, really good smoked wings, and first time having pork belly - all were yummy. The sauce for the pork belly was quite spicy for me, but I still had to taste!

Cake had to wait until much later because we were all full, but it was a fab black forest cake.

Take care, everyone! Hope your Thursday is terrific!

My throwback Thursday pic - one of my sisters had put it up on FB with greetings.
I was four months ,- pics of Milan at the same age show him as identical, crazy!

A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Natalka!

Good morning gang. I will also submit and resist the urge to head out to a grocery store, as we don't NEED anything, I just want to get out. Thank you @Lynn49 for mentioning the Mongolian beef you made the other day.
It's weird but I don't think I have ever seen Flank steak in my travels. I have certainly never searched it out for any recipe.
I just looked up the other names it can be sold by in stores. ( skirt steak, London Broil )

Anyways, I made a batch using your recipe last night. I had not planned on doing that but....yesterday I only went out to buy gas and hit ONE store....No Frills.
In the fresh meat section I see these hard clear plastic containers with " grass fed, la-dee-da Australian Flank Steak " in them.
Was this a sign that I was meant to make some? I bought just one pkg. Yikes...it was 35.00 per kg!!, so in good conscience I only picked up one $14.00 pkg.
I cut the sauce recipe in half to match up with the meat and reduced the sugar as you had recommended. We had it over plain Basmati rice. So darn tender ( the meat ) and yummy. It will be all gone today, DH is taking a serving in for his work meal.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend...we will be living it up here as DS and I are banding together to sing HB to each other....lol!!

Good day everyone! After wanting to pull out my fur yesterday I am finally back in SC. Something about password not being right,too many tries,grrrr!!!
Happy Birthday week! @Natalka glad that you were able to enjoy your special day despite your ongoing problems. I hope and pray the coming year is better than the last. I was going to rant on about the temperature until I saw your post that you were only at -24 and not -40. That said, I am will complain instead as it's indeed too cold to go out and yet I need to so I won't seize up and hurt more than I already do!! grr!!
Anyhow I will endeavour to explain to the cat why my chair is my chair and not his, and will move him to only have him say something and then need to watch it all day. It's kinda like the Flintstones ending where Fred puts the cat outside and then the cat puts Fred outside.
Fellow people I notice that there are many visitors to this thread and I'm wondering if it's because it's like a soap opera here or a smidgen of what life is like in the outside world.Not complaining or criticising just pondering(Pinky are you pondering what I'm pondering?...)
Anyhow that's enough for me right now. Everyone stay warm and keep safe and well!

Was I even here yesterday? It's a blur. So sorry for the lateness @Natalka !
Happy that you were able to have a lovely dinner with your family
Happy belated birthday
