The 96er.

Remember that scene in that great movie The Great Outdoors? Remember that we just got a freezer full of beef?

The meat in our freezer is wrapped in white butcher paper. The outside is stamped with what is inside. Most of the time it is like a crap-shoot with what will be in the package. For example, package that is stamped with "Sirloin Steak", I expect there to be some sirloin steaks.

This is what I got:


Yes, that is a 9 x 13 pan I have that bad boy defrosting in. There are two of them at that size. Maybe that is a regular piece of meat, but it is definitely not something I see in the Mart meat section.

I wasn't sure how to tackle that big boy. I chose grillin' as my method of destruction. I happened to pick a dark evening when the temperature was in the single digits. Here is my setup:


This was the finished product. It hung over the plate. It reminded my of the 96er. I didn't make Farmer Brown eat the fat and gristle. That went to Honey Dog.



(I'm such a ding-dong - I tried searching for the "69er" on Google to find the John Candy video. I didn't get anything close to what I was looking for.)
