Thanks everyone! You probably thought I had evaporated. This has been a very busy summer and I'm afraid my LCT time is limited. Boy work sure gets in the way. I've actually been lurking every once in a while to make sure I haven't missed anything major.

I'm still working on sorting Tahiti pictures and will post a report (I promise). I also want to report on my trip to New York. It was great and I learned a lot that I would like to share.

Karen - the cake looks great. I've got a chocolate malt cake waiting at home.

Not doing anything special this year. Grilling some Allen Brother's prime rib eyes tomorrow and some fresh Acorn squash. A nice bottle of Zinfandel to go with it. I think I'll go for a bike ride tonight to help deter the effects of tomorrow.

We'll be in touch.

Dave

A very :happyb: to you!

Will you give an assessment of your Allen Bros. steaks? Thanks,

Happy birthday, Dave!

Ditto what my other half said!

Dave, Happy Birthday! I hope it was a good one!

Thanks again everyone. I had a wonderful birthday weekend. Relaxing, eating, drinking, repeat.

Kathy - We are pretty much addicted to Allen Bros. meats. This is our second order from them. The first order was boneless rib eyes (our favorite steak) and beef liver. USDA Prime beef is hard to come by in the markets and we're not much for going out to eat. So having a prime rib eye hot off the grill at home is heaven. The liver is the best I've ever cooked. Fork tender. The second order was for more rib eyes, ground beef (made with prime meats), and tenderloins (prime of course). We haven't tried the ground beef or tenderloins yet. Their customer service is also outstanding. They will arrange delivery for whatever day you want. They will even overnight "never frozen" meat if that suits your fancy. They offer both wet aged and dry aged beef. We haven't tried the dry aged yet. So the bottom line is, we highly recommend them.

Dave

Dave - sorry I'm late to the party but it sounds like you had a wonderful birthday! We placed our first order with Allen Bros. over the weekend - glad to hear your ringing endorsement!

Sue - I can't wait to hear your impressions. One caution though, the rib eyes cook fast. We like our beef medium rare and the first batch was more medium. Keep a close eye on them.

Dave

Thanks Dave; sounds good! Sue, would appreciate your input. Thanks,

Happy belated birthday Dave. Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
