Grilled Steak With Cracked Peppercorns
2 servings
4 teaspoons black or mixed peppercorns
1 to 2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 porterhouse steaks or other cut of choice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemon wedges (optional)
Preheat the toaster oven to broil. For easy clean-up, lineoaster oven baking tray with aluminum foil. (Check your manufacturer's instructions, however, for any cautions against use of aluminum foil in your toaster oven.)
Crush the peppercorns and salt in a mortar using a pestle. Or if you don't have a mortar and pestle, toss the peppercorns and salt into a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or a wine bottle.
Rub both sides of the steak with the olive oil and press the peppercorn mixture into the steaks. Place the steak on the prepared tray. Broil for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until the meat reaches medium doneness. (Time may vary depending on thickness of steak.)

We like this on anything, but we really like it over softened Philly

like crack on a cracker. You really can't stop eating it!
You'll need:
Apprx 11 ½ pint widemouth jars
Ingredients
1 box Certo
6-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
2-3/4 cups chopped peppers (3/4 cup being Jalapeno peppers, which is
about 6-7 medium peppers. The Rest is approximately 2 Green, 2 Red,
and 1 Purple sweet pepper.
Put 1 tablespoon of the Jalapeno seeds in with the peppers.
Take all ingredients, mix in pot and Bring to a Roiling Boil. ( Stir
constantly the whole time )
Add 1 package of Certo, then bring back to a boil,
Boil for 1 minute, then turn off heat.
Ladle the hot liquid into jars, wipe off rims (or use a funnel if you
have one) and put canning lids on. Fill only 7/8 full.
When all Jars are filled, turn jars upside down for 5 minutes.
Turn jars back up, and let set for several hours, you will hear jars

Homemade Gifts for Cats - Reader's Ideas
Here's an idea I received from one of our newsletter subscribers, on an easy gift to make for your (or someone else's) pet kitty cat!
Gifts for my cats:I find that most fancy toys that I get for my cats from the store completly bore them. Little balls and fuzzy mice entertain them but their favorite toy is one that I made for them. All you need to do is wrap a small piece of felt around a tiny jingle bell and tie it off with a few pieces of dangling yarn. My cats go crazy for this thing. Try it, maybe yours will like it too!Labels: cats, homemade pet toys, pet gifts, pets
