I'm with you on that one. If you ever decise to splurge for a special

occasion locally you should check out the baseball cut top sirloin at El

Gaucho in Seattle with blue cheese. Absolutely scrumptious. I guess that

means you will have to eat some commercial beef as well.

Liking

" They told just the same,

That just because a tyrant has the might

By force of arms to murder men downright

And burn down house and home and leave all flat

They call the man a captain, just for that.

But since an outlaw with his little band

Cannot bring half such mischief on the land

Or be the cause of so much harm and grief,

He only earns the title of a thief. "

--Geoffrey Chaucer, The Manciple's Tale
