Hi Becky. Thanks for confirming that with me. I went out and got a good set of measuring cups and spoons yesterday and a set of wooden spoons, all from Wal-mart. The measuring cups have a little pouring spout on the side which I think will come in handy. I never thought of Olive oil on the grill before cooking meat, thanks for reminding me. Now that I am pretty much set up for utensils, I have to get some basic cooking/food items in here. I guess a good start is of course, salt and pepper, olive oil and flour. I have a good selection of spices that my friend got me but none of it is labeled for me to use. I will have to do that and will more than likely use my pen friend for that task. Do any of you have any other suggestions for other basics?

Steaks are pretty good on the George formon grill. I usually cook them for 12 to 14 minutes but I spread a little bit of olive oil on the grill before cooking the steaks so they won't come out dry. I like to marinate them a Hours before cooking them, sometimes even the previous night.. Zucchinis and baby carrots are also good on the grill. I season them with blac pepper and seasoning salt. Take care and don't get discouraged.beffewthe ni from my iPhone On Sep 28, 2011, at 1:12 AM, "Jay" <ja...@rogers.com> wrote: > Hi all, I am new to this list.
