Did you lose a coin toss :shrug:
Sort of. I asked the middle daughter to choose between pigs, meatloaf, roast and grilled chicken. She chose pigs.dems4me said:

At least next time that one won't be an option... after she goes to sleep order in a pizza or something...
j/k sorry to hear about the dinner... 
If ya' feel like a commute I can give you some steak :shrug:
Ha! I don't think the hubby would let me out the door with it. Pigs in a blanket are a favorite in our house too except we call 'em pig bags. My son could never remember what to call them, he'd always say "can we have pig bags tonight?"dems4me said:Wow.... bring what you have over and join gemini and I and we'll have potluck!!!!

I'm heading out now... have a good night!!! 
I might get online tonight to let you know how it turned out... thanks for all the helpful and insightful input!!!! 
Pigs are just one of those stupid foods that taste really really good.Mrs. Jones said:
They also like it when I layer those crappy Patio burritos in a baking dish, cover it with Hormel chili (no beans) and bake it until it's bubbly, then melt cheddar over the top. Larry calls it "sunken burritos".

Yes that is good tooo... I pop open a can of Hormel Chili and then layer it in the bowl with about 2 inches of cheddar cheeze on top and then sourcream on top of that and open a bag of dorritos and just dip and eat away...
have a good night vria!!!

I give up... I just can't make a good steak to save my life... 
I took all the suggestions and tried to apply them... I seared them in a skillet and then stuck in the oven at 375. When I took them out of the skillet, I checked the temperature and it didn't even register as rare... so I thought I had seared the flavor in good. Then after about 5 minutes, I checked at it still hadn't registered as rare... so this time I waited 20 minutes... pulled them out and they registered as very well done at 175 degrees and still climbing. I set them aside to cool. I took a bite out of one of the ribeye's -- it was grey and chewy and still hot, I then ate the parts the six inch strips that fell off of both steaks that had all the fat on it... those were the best steak I had ever had... but for the main portion, I thought maybe I could smother it with A-1 and still have them edible.... I went into the other room to watch tv while still looking forward to chewing on these steaks all night. Commercial came on and I walked into kitchen only to find dog running out with both steaks in her mouth... 
I just give up... 
I'll stick to other meats and poultry, and italian and mexican dishes...

Dems, you made me so hungry for ribeyes that I made pigs for Larry and the daughter and I ended up blackening a steak for myself. Oiled it, rubbed it with seasonings, then cranked up the skillet and gave it 3 minutes on each side - it was perfect. We had broccoli and tater tots on the side.dems4me said:
Are you getting the thin cut ribeyes? For a good eating steak (as oppposed to a sandwich steak) it must be at least 1 inch thick. Maybe that's the problem?

Why would someone want to cook a steak in something other than a grill? 
crabcake
But wait, there's more...

take any steak, sprinkle some Montreal steak seasoning on it, cook on medium heat for about 7 minutes (dep. on thickness) each side (only flip once) and voila! It's not rocket science! :shrug:
She said she didn't have a grill or a broiler. :shrug:Chasey_Lane said:Why would someone want to cook a steak in something other than a grill?

While I love ribeyes there are much better steaks for the oven or stove top.
Get something with a fairly low fat content ( I suggest round steak), season it how ever you desire and cook it at 350 in a covered glass baking dish for about 30 minutes and then take it out and put some butter on it and then put it in an iron skillet for a few minutes each side.

After watching this thread for the past couple days I gotta ask...what did the poor cow ever do to some of you?
Baking a steak?
Dems, if you don't have a grill or broiler get yourself a cast iron grilling skillet. It's the one with the little ribs on the bottom. Season the pan accordingly before you use it and cook your meat in it. Putting a rib eye (or any steak) in the oven for 20-60 minutes is nuts. I'll bet shoe-leather would be cheaper to use and taste about the same.
