Re: t vs. T.....just remember the little 't' is a 'little spoon...and the larger 'T' is the larger spoon. Does that make sense? I had a teacher tell us that in the 50's and it stayed with me. She sucked as a teacher but gave little hints like that which buried in my mind. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Re: marinades for beef. What do I know about beef? PLENTY...even though I don't eat it. I have a friend who owned a butcher store and I use his little tricks. He recommends using Kraft Russian Dressing( the red one ) for a marinade or Catalina Dressing. I've used the Russian one for years for 'skirt steak' which my family loves grilled. I marinate it for 3 days....longer not shorter....and they say it's like butter. Ok...so this is 2nd hand but I've got a pretty discriminating audience, here! So, if you want to add more garlic, knock yourself out...I don't think there's such a thing as too much garlic, but, hey, I'm Italian/Portugese....we LOVE our garlic! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
