Serious Eats has a great recipe for an asian-inspired flank steak. This marks the first time I have cooked flank steak and had it actually taste good.  The marinade works well mixed in with rice as well.

This may be the perfect way to bring my love of condiments and sauces to the next level. (via Coudal)

Hopefully all the added puncuation was free. (via Cake Wrecks)

Wikipedia lists McDonald’s discontinued menu items. I remember quite a few of these, including the Arch Burger, the McDLT, Salad Shakers, and the McLean Deluxe. I was more intrigued by the items I don’t remember:

• McStuffin - a pocket sandwich available with various fillings
• McFeast: A hamburger with a slice of ham and cheese
• Chicken Platter - A grilled chicken burger served with lettuce and tomato on the HotCakes tray.
• Beef Wennington - A burger solely offered in the Chicago area in the late 1990s, named after former Chicago Bulls player Bill Wennington. It featured a single patty topped with cheese, onions, barbecue sauce and a slice of Canadian bacon, as a tribute to Wennington’s Canadian background.

We finished working yesterday and I am amazed at how fast this week went! I feel like I just got here. The habitat staff told us yesterday that we more than exceeded their expectations for how much work we got done. I am thankful we could really help them get the houses closer to opening. (we will post pictures of the work site when we get home)

Tate spent most of the work destroying a badly built deck and then re-building it. He finished with 30 minutes to spare! The deck is beautiful and he is now more sure than ever that we will probably pay someone to build ours I was on the interior finish crew and we got three houses ready for carpet. One actually was carpeted during the week and, after a lot of touch up work, it is finished! It was really fun to get to work on almost complete houses. They are really nice. I am glad the people that qualify for a habitat house get a good house.

Today we hang out in New Orleans until 2 then we start the long drive home. I can’t wait to see most of you at home!

Also, I will try to post more stories and pictures from home where the internet is easier to use. THANK YOU for prayng for us. We could feel it.
