And whats up with steak sauce? I mean, if you re going to over cooked it, over season it, and offer a wet piece of lettuce as accoutrement, why not indulge me by hiding this disasterous piece of meat, under 4 ounces of A1 equivalent?

That is why I prefer to do my own cooking. They have excellent meat at El National and a very good assortment of imported U.S. beef and lamb at Omaha Gourmet. The price per pound really isn't that much more than the states. I bought a 10 lb "ribless" prime rib today. Looks great.

I live in Jarabacoa, and love cooking as well. yes, good beef is a problem here, and I usually get my baby back ribs from the chef of a local, and fantastic restaurant, jamaca de dios...

He likes it, because it makes him easier to order several times, and we like it because we can treat ourselves to some prime meat once in a while...

let us make a deal... cannoli's and fresh chicken soup and I will supply real belgian beef stew... (with lots of beer in it), or my famous porkfilet with a sauce of mushrooms and whisky

YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL…I am leaving for Sosua for a few days and will prepare when I return. It will be my first time making cannoli’s, but I did receive a homemade recipe from AlterEgo and it sounds excellent. You are making it difficult since both of the meals you mention sound delicious. I know, surprise me… I used to make homemade éclairs (dough) and all and the custard filling with many natural flavors. I think I will do that also when I return. I need to get my kitchen air-conditioned.

Your best bet is to make your own!
