If I could capture the smell in a jar to have beside me all year long, I would. The good news is, you can jar up that smell by making a batch of balm of Gilead. In addition to smelling amazing, this salve is an all purpose one that can be used to provide relief to small abrasions, dry skin or insect bites.

Give me all the steak sandwiches, please! This is not the time, nor the place to be using up those higher-end cuts; in fact, this is the opportunity to maybe use up that pack of steaks that has been rolling around in the freezer for a while.
