Giant Eagle had the most annoying ad during Tribe games. I'm not a nutjob (I think) but I would turn off my radio when it came on. It was so annoying to me that I wrote them a polite but pointed email threatening to start shopping at Tops if they don't change their ads. Okay, I admit that's a nutjob move. So, as proof that I'm not a nutjob I don't actually take credit for their ads changing a week after I wrote my email. But, I figured I had to put my money where my mouth is since they have a new ad. The new ad is promoting their meat department. It's a vapid ad but it doesn't make me reach for the off switch on my radio. "Hip-hip." " Filet." "Hip-hip." " Filet." Ugh. But, I bought a filet anyway.

I used a Madeira from V. Sattui, a wonderful winery in Napa that I've visited several times. This made the sauce sweet and delicious. This was a really tasty steak.
