the bottom of this email.]
Lobster
and
Filet Mignon
next week
for your Valentine!
6 oz vacuum packed
beef
tenderloin fillets,
plus split North Australian
and
Geoff and
Claude have a considerable, but limited, supply of these aged Tenderloin
Filets. They are fresh, never frozen, and vacuum packed individually.
Also, get
this, Chef Claude has band-sawed a supply of large North Australian Lobster
Tails, plus some Maine Lobster Tails into two halves. These ‘half moons’ are
easy to cook and easy to eat; no special utensils required.
Pre-buttered,
too! Wrapped, ready to thaw overnight in the fridge so you can pop them under
the broiler for 5 minutes, then turn your oven to bake at 350 for another few
minutes. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
North
Aussie Tails are 39.95/lb, and Maine Tails are 29.95/lb, so they run from
around $7 per half. And we also have some gigantic
lobster tails as well as petite, so you can choose your price point for the
whole tails.
tails are limited, but we can guide you through splitting your own.
The
Beef Tenderloin filets are 9.95 each.

[okay,
I did not check the following on Snopes.com, but it seems plausible to me –
Greg]
This
is too true to be funny.
The
next time you hear a politician use the Word 'billion' in a casual manner,
think about Whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A
billion is a difficult number to comprehend, But one advertising agency did a
good job of Putting that figure into some perspective in one of its
releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959..
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were Living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, At the rate our
government is spending it.
While
this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at
amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana
Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) asked Congress for
250 BILLION
DOLLARS to rebuild
Orleans
mean?
A.
Well ... If you are one of the 484,674 residents of
(every
man, woman, and child) You each get $516,528.
B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
gets$1,329,787..
C.
Or... If you are a family of four... Your family gets $2,066,012.

(And
to think, we left British Rule to avoid so many taxes)
STILL
THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not
one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... And our nation was the most
prosperous in the world.
We
had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the
world... And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What
happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'
And
I still have to Press '1' For English.

THE KOHL'S
SHOPPING TRIP
This
is just too funny!
(This could only be true; you
simply can't make this stuff up!)
Clutching their Kohl's
shopping bags, Ellen and Kay woefully gazed down at a dead cat in the mall
parking lot. Obviously a recent hit…. no flies, no smell.. What business could
that poor kitty have had here?' murmured Ellen..'
Come on, Ellen, let's just
go...'
But Ellen had already grabbed
her shopping bag and was explaining, 'I'll just put my things in your bag, and
then I'll use this tissue.. .'
She dumped her purchases into
Kay's bag and then used the tissue paper to cradle and lower the former feline
into her own Kohl's bag and cover it.
They continued the short trek
to the car in silence, stashing their goods in the trunk. But it occurred to
both of them that if they left Ellen's burial bag in the trunk, warmed by the
they ate, Kay's Lumina would soon lose that new-car smell.
They decided to leave the bag
on top of the trunk, and they headed over to K & W Cafeteria.
They went through the serving
line and sat down at a window table. They had a view of Kay's Chevy with the
Kohl's bag still on the trunk.
BUT not for long! As they
ate, they noticed a woman in a red gingham shirt stroll by their car.. She
looked quickly this way and that, and then took the Kohl's bag without breaking
stride. She quickly walked out of their line of vision.. Kay and Ellen shot
each other a wide-eyed look of amazement.
It all happened so fast that
neither of them could think how to respond. 'Can you imagine?' finally
sputtered Ellen.. 'The nerve of that woman!' Kay sympathized with Ellen, but
inwardly a laugh was building as she thought about the grand surprise awaiting
the female thief.
Just when she thought she'd
have to giggle into her napkin, she noticed Ellen's eyes freeze in the
direction of the serving line. Following her gaze, Kay recognized the woman in
the red gingham shirt with the Kohl's bag hanging from her arm. She was
brazenly pushing her tray toward the cashier.
Helplessly they watched the
scene unfold:
After leaving the register,
the woman settled at a table across from theirs, put the bag on an empty chair
and began to eat..
After a few bites of baked
whitefish and green beans, she casually lifted the bag into her lap to survey
her treasure. Looking from side to side,
but not far enough to notice her
rapt audience three tables over,
she pulled out the tissue paper and
peered into the bag.
Her eyes widened, and she
began to make a sort of gasping noise. The noise grew. The bag slid from her
lap as she sank to the floor, wheezing and clutching her upper chest. The
beverage cart attendant quickly recognized a customer in trouble and sent the
busboy to call 911, while she administered the Heimlich maneuver.
A crowd quickly gathered that
did not include Ellen and Kay, who remained riveted to their chairs for seven
whole minutes until the ambulance arrived. In a matter of minutes, the woman
with the red gingham shirt emerged, still gasping, and securely strapped on a
gurney.
Two well-trained EMT
volunteers steered her to the waiting ambulance, while a third scooped up her
belongings. The last they saw of the distressed cat-burglar was as she
disappeared behind the ambulance doors................
the Kohl's Bag perched on her
stomach!!
God does take care of those
who do bad things! AND once in a while...
He allows us to witness!

JUST FRED
A cop stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed
limit,
so he asks the biker his name.
'Fred,' he replies.
'Fred what?' the officer asks.
'Just Fred,' the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a break
and, write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him
for the last name.
The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The
officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it.
'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?'
The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Fred
Johnson.
I studied hard and
got good grades.
When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through
college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I
was Fred Johnson, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I
decided to go back to school.
Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through School, got my degree, so
then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS.
Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and
she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.
Well, the
found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS.
Then I was Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the
DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred
Johnson with VD.
Then the VD took away my Johnson, so now I am Just Fred.'
The officer walked away in tears, laughing

Broiled Lobster Tail
Greg
Lindberg on Channel 3, February 4th, 2010
Lobster Tail
with Paprika Butter
Lobster Tails, about ¾ lb per person,
if main course
Butter – ¼ stick per person
Garlic, crushed 1/32 of a teaspoon!
Paprika
Thaw lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator, or, if
necessary, under cool running water. By the way, for best flavor and texture,
thawing slowly is the way to go (overnight).
Preheat broiler or grill to medium/high. In a small bowl,
melt 2 teaspoons butter, and stir in a tiny bit of garlic, and a dash of
paprika. In another small bowl, melt the rest of the butter, and stir in more
garlic and paprika [this is for dipping the lobster, but the flavors will marry
if you do this in advance].
tails completely in two for easiest cooking and eating. Or cut the back down to
the last segment, with kitchen shears, and pull up the meat. Either way is
fine.
Brush exposed lobster meat with the butter mix, then place
on oiled, pre-heated grill. Start with meat side down, cook for about 2
minutes, and then rotate 90 degrees. This makes a nice ‘hatch’ mark on the
lobster. Looks great. After another 2 minutes, flip them over so that the shell
side is down. Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Don’t be afraid
to cut into one to see if it is cooked through [clear looking meat when raw,
solid looking when cooked].
Enjoy
with a green salad, grilled potatoes, and a nice cold bottle of Sauvignon
Blanc.
