In particular I want to address flank steak , which although quite similar, should never be confused with skirt steak .  Flank is a relatively inexpensive, thin, trapezoidal shaped, lean, very specifically grained steak.

And my children are all out of the house, so I’m not chasing kids around and pacing the soccer sidelines.  And if dozing off during the evening news counts toward my beauty sleep, I should be eye-shattering stunning by now.

Ha! I was so busy working on this Professional Development Portfolio (a simulation for one of my classes of the portfolios that read R.D.s have to complete to maintain their credentials) that I thought I had already posted lunch!

Mashed about 1/3 cup beans with 1 tbsp WW flour, 1 tsp olive
