    Jim, that must be McNamara’s band.

    DD, I do those potatoes in the oven, love em. For me the steak is just a wee bit overcooked, nice thing about a good steak is that it will still taste great. I would love to dig into that one. I recently broke down and bought a Thermopen, it’s fast and accurate, just what the doctor ordered for a quick internal temp check.

    Looks great, I never thought of pairing potatos and zucchini together though. I’ll have to try that with some garlic. The game, oh well, but on a positive note Ohio has a good band, The Best Damned Band in the Land. Chow Jim

    Decided on steak and football tonight, a great combination!

    Stopped by Midwestern Meats in Mesa this afternoon and picked up an Iowa corn-fed Bone-in Ribeye, took it home, rubbed it with a little olive oil and gave it a light sprinkle of Black and Red seasoning from Penzey’s.

    I made some potatoes in foil, I don’t have a name for it but you basically slice up some potatoes and onions (this time I tossed in some zucchini), add butter and salt/pepper, wrap them in foil and toss them on the grill for a while.

    Make sure the foil is tight so that they steam a little, but put them right on the hot grill so the bottom layer gets crispy.

    Grilled up the steak.

    Potatoes were done.

    Sauted up some mushrooms and tossed a salad. Popped a bottle of wine and watched an unbelivable football game!

    Wasn’t paying attention and looks like the meat got away from me a little, but it was still quite edible.

    Defintely bake. 375-400 sould be fine, put them on the lowest rack so they brown up a bit. That’s really the good part,eating the "crispys" off the bottom of the foil.

    Yummy! I actually like my steak just like that.

    For those of us with no grill other than a George Foreman, would you do the veggie packets in the oven on broil or bake?

    Cathy, who want to make them to go with kielbasa.

    1. BIG Thick Onion Rings- sometimes so heavy you have to cut them up and use a fork to dip them!
    2. Zucchini Spears, a good 6-plus inches long. Also Battered and deep-fried. The orders are large enough that if you order both, you better have someone to share them with.
    I am not a ranch dressing fan, but with these two items it makes a good dipping sauce.[:p]

    One of my favorite "stopping off" places on my way over to San Diego. I’ve had the O-rings, but haven’t tried the zucchini, I’ll have to next time I’m by.

    That steak looked fantastic. I don’t know about the zucchini, however. Not one of my favorites.

    The day after the game, the St. Petersburg, FL newspaper printed this comment: "I could not have cared less who won, but here’s a new rule:
    THE Ohio State cannot call themselves THE Ohio State for five years since it got THE stuffing kicked out of them."

    It was a great day for the Gator Nation! Glad the steak and potatoes were good for you at least.

    Potatoes look great–but I got burned out on zucchini during the glut of the ‘eighties, when I swear you couldn’t open your front door without finding a "gift" of the stuff from a neighbor. Right up there with the rats, moles, and birds from our cats!

    I used to do something a little different w/ potatoes when I took kids (a church youth group, sometimes unkindly referred to as "sacristy rats") camping. Sorry: no measurements available, just throw it in a deep pot with a cover & cook it until it seems about right. (Oh: we liked thick-sliced peppered bacon.)

    Fry LOTS of bacon, cut up some, until not quite crisp. Add a bunch of coarsely chopped onions & brown a little, then about twice as much (or more) red potatoes as onions, sliced. Stir around until hot & steamy, add S & P to taste, cover kind of loosely, and cook until the potatoes are done, scraping the stuff off the bottom periodically & mixing it in for flavor.

    Looks good DD!

    I love steamed veggies and we use the foil method as well. Yellow squash, broccoli, zukes, onions, butter and a dash of garlic salt. Don’t get crispy though, the squash and zukes have too much water in them I think.
