GARY'S STEAK SEASONINGS
Seasoning Salt
Onion Powder
Lemon-Pepper
Garlic Salt
Kc Masterpiece Monterial Steak Season with garlic
McCormick Grill Mates Steak Seasoning
Do not add a lot of the garlic salt and seasoning salt as the other spices has salt in them. Combine all together in a small bowl what you will need for your steaks and then rub all over the steaks. Or just sprinkle each one on as you like. Rub in good. Flip steak over and do the other side. Let sit in ref. for 4 hours or overnight in a ziploc bag. Grill or pan fry. I like them grilled best.

FALL DUCK-DUCK-GOOSE SALE
Once again it is time for the duck-duck-goose sale. This is a very good sale to go to. It is for very top brand used and new clothing for children and teens. They also have all kinds of baby items including beautiful baby beds and dressers and bedroom suites for your children. They have shoes new and used all kinds. Also have toys and books and dvds. The sale is held twice a year in our area. You have to bring your own bags or a rolling bag with you. Believe me you will need one. Some people brought rolling clothes hampers and crates. Some had the rolling bens from Sams Club shaped like a wheelbarrow.
The clothes are all on hangers and get very heavy to have to pack and as there are around 400 people in the building most of the time it is also crowded. But it is well worth it. Make sure you take you something to drink or even a snack. Do not take a heavy purse because you have to stand in line sometimes around 2 hours. They said this year that it would not take that long.
The sale is located in the old Kmart Building at 7428 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, Tn. This year is is on Oct. 7-11.
Opens at 9 but be there way before nine you have to stand in line to even get in the building and wear light clothes because you get hot and good walking shoes. Go early to get a parking place.
