HOW TO GRILL A PERFECT STEAK

Ribeye or T-bone Steaks 3/4 inch thick
Lawry's Season Salt
Garlic Power if you like
Olive Oil
Pepper

Make sure you set the steak out at room temp. for 30 minutes. If you do not do this it will make the muscle tighten and will not let it get tender. Cooking it cold will make it tough. Cut the bone from the steak so it will cook even. Put the olive oil over all of the steak. Then put the pepper. use a light sprinling of garlic and lawry's season salt. Lay the steaks on the grill and began timing. Let cook for 3 minutes with lid down. Then flip over and cook 2 1/2 minutes on the other side. Take off grill. The steak will be medium rare. If doing a 1 to 11/4 inch steak then grill for 4 1/2 minutes on each side. Flip every 2 minutes. When eating add a little salt to each cut up bite it brings out more of the flavor to the steak.

HOW TO KEEP A FRESH TOMATO LONGER

I found online a article on how to keep a tomato fresh longer. With tomatos getting so high try this and see if it works. Take your tomato and place on a plate or counter. Turn the stem end down. And keep it that way until ready to use at room temp.If turned up they will sometimes start to mold and shrivel up.  Just keep them turned down or put a piece of tape on  the stem or where the stem had been if turned up.
