Lunch

Fool's Gold Loaf

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

and bake until evenly brown.

Fill it with peanut butter and grape jelly layered with the bacon.
Close the loaf, slice and serve.

Dinner

Ugly Steak

Rub 1 lb of top sirloin steak with garlic; discard the garlic.
Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper.
Dredge both sides of the steak with flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat enough oil in a pan to cover the steak.
Fry the steak until both sides are brown and the steak is well done.
Cut into tiny bite-size pieces before serving.

Pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil.
Add 2 to 3 cups of water.
Stir up all the browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
Boil until thick.
Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over buttery mashed potato.

Simmer a can of peas (drained) in a broth
made from half a cup of water, 2 tablespoons of butter
and 1 chopped medium onion
for at least 5 minutes - up to 30 minutes is okay.

Ensure that the television is turned on and serve the steak, potatoes and peas with plenty of salt, corn bread and a very large glass of buttermilk.
