re: Best sauce to compliment a steak
Posted by Sugarbaker on 12/26/25 at 10:21 am to GeauxTigahs92
My BIL had a demi-glace on a filet earlier this week and said it complemented very well without overwhelming the steak flavor.
He does not like sauce on a steak either.

re: Peanut Butter Pies
Posted by Sugarbaker on 12/22/25 at 4:06 pm to iwantacooler
Finally made it today! Went right by the recipe other than adding another 1/2 cup of peanut butter.
Just popped it in the freezer and I will add chocolate ganache after it sets up. I ate the bit left in the bowl and cannot WAIT for the final product!
I feel like I will be kicking myself for waiting so long to try.

re: How many adults do you buy Christmas gifts for?
Posted by Sugarbaker on 12/22/25 at 1:38 pm to dyslexiateechur
We only have one child in our immediate family and she is 16.
The rest of my family are adults and we all exchange gifts. Add in bosses and close friends and we buy for about 12.

re: Is it OK to Have Two Christmas Trees?
Posted by Sugarbaker on 12/21/25 at 5:30 pm to deeprig9
I have three. Main one in living room, one in kitchen/breakfast room with all food-related ornaments, and one in the dining room because I wanted one that could be seen from the street.
I am neither weird nor heathen.
It is ok to have as many trees as you want, I would think.

re: Trashiest thing you did this week?

Went for drinks with my former boss and left him with the tab intentionally. (Tbh, he would likely have picked it up anyway. And he owes me…)
And shopped at Dollar Tree.

Complete departure this year, as everyone coming decided they want snack/game food. So…baked ham sliders, dips, cheese balls, charcuterie, and meatballs. Plus cocktails. We are all pretty pleased with the prospect.
re: How often do you actually sit down and read a book?
Posted by Sugarbaker on 12/19/25 at 10:46 pm to CBandits82
All the time. Pretty much every day. I usually read late evening before bed.
If I am deep into a book, though, I will read at lunch and throughout the day whenever I have a minute.
I used to read incessantly. At stoplights, in class, during 15 minute breaks at work…whenever.

re: Finding Web Ratings' Worst Restaurants in BR

Jays is their own thing. Not really traditional bbq, imo.
That being said, I really enjoy it. The sliced beef poboy was my pregnancy craving. I made many a frenzied drive from downtown to Midcity for lunch.

Agreed. We went this summer for the first time in many years. There were plenty of customers and the food was good.

For fish, I lay a large brown paper sack (like from the grocery store) on it's side and put the fish on it then into the oven until it's time to eat.
My grandfather fried fish for very large groups and people always wondered how he kept it crisp and hot. My grandmother used brown paper bags. Worked amazingly well.
I use racks and sheet pans, but my greedy guests pretty much eat as it gets done.
re: How long did it take you to know your spouse was marriage material? Study says 172 days

My husband went home & told his mom after our first date (we were 15/16) that he could see himself marrying me. She laughed at him.
This sounds pretty similar to our situation. He says he knew almost immediately at age 16.
I knew he was different from the outset, and even though we broke up two or three times over the years, I always wanted him around and we always stayed friends. (Much to the chagrin of whomever else we dated.)
Married 32 years now. His mom finally decided I was right for him about 20 years in.

I just bought a side last week from a local farmer. $6/lb, Using a round steak tonight for Swiss steak. Not wanting to do without beef ‘round here.
Prices in the store are nauseating, though.
