What is Steak Em? If you reply to scrout1944@msn.com I'm more likely to see it.
Good for you for working so hard on losing. In this sense being known as a "loser" is a good thing. Since you call it "smoky tomato sauce" seems to me some liquid smoke might be a great idea.
Hi again, Stephen! Nice to hear from you!
Steak Em is a meat-ish substance sold in freezer sections of supermarkets. It's super thinly sliced beef made for steak sandwiches (think Philly Cheesesteaks). It's pseudo-food, really.
Thanks for the kudos. It's hard work but well worth it in many ways.
Smoky only applies to the natural smokiness that is chipotle chili powder. I never use liquid smoke. Gives me a headache. The chipotle gives it a smoked hint. Replying via email as well.
