    You should have seen her face

    You should have seen the face on the checkout girl at restaurant depot when I asked if they have ski masks… it was blank… she thought a second then said “I don’t think so” 🙄 It’s not funny when you have to explain it 😟

    Prime top sirloin roast

    Hey All, I was at BJs yesterday and saw this USDA Prime top sirloin roast for $7.99/lb. I've only ever dealt with top sirloin as a steak - a little tougher than a strip but great beefy flavor. What would you do with this thing if you bought it? I didn't buy it (yet) looking for ideas ;) -WR
