A ‘dang’ good steak for your 4th of July
By Jim Bailey theyankeechef.blogspot.com This is a dang good steak recipe.

A new favorite condiment you will relish
By Jim Bailey theyankeechef.blogspot.com This is a killer relish! I almost hate to call it relish because it is not finely minced ingredients mixed with an overabundance of vinegar.
