If you have a good butcher like my Hazelkorn, the butcher, you have good meat, especially if you are in the store and can see what he cuts for you. What you do with the meat when you get it home is another question. In my house I have to have meat, Mr, Goldberg, My Husband, thinks it's not a meal without some kind of meat, and no matter what kind of a meal I serve there's always meat for My Jake (Mr, Goldberg), With two men in the house it's very difficult sometimes because by Jake any meat is good, but with Sammy (My Son) it's not meat unless it's steak. So what do I do? I cook my meat as tasty as possible, and when Sammy enters the house the aroma of the fumes of the meat makes him hungry. The result? He eats whichsoever I set down on the table.
