Memories

Back in 1972 or 1973 hubby and I took the 1st of our Disney vacations in Florida. I think they had recently opened and there were not a lot of people in the park. I have pictures to prove it. We took the kids back in 1986, I think, and it was a whole different story. The crowds were huge! The kids had a blast and we are glad we took them.

See the picture below? You won’t see the streets of Disney World looking like that now when the park is open. There were people there… there just weren’t a whole lot of them.

My favorite way to make a steak

I take a steak or two and brush with Kitchen Bouquet on both sides. Then I add a little bit of butter, garlic powder, onion powder and a little salt and pepper. Put the steaks in a broiler pan and put under the broiler until nice and brown then turn over and add more butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and broil until done on that side.

That’s how I used to make them. I have an older gas stove where the broiler is on the bottom and I don’t use it because I would have to sit on the floor to make the steaks. It’s just not worth the pain and aggravation so I use my little George Forman grill to make them and they turn out just as good!
