First, bake your pie... I made a deep-dish sour cream apple pie using
yoghurt instead of cream (cream is too rich) and I put some lemon
juice into it to make it a little more tangy. The pie has to cool for
several hours before eating, so I made it in the morning.

Dinner time approaches. The makings of a nice steak dinner are laid
out on the counter ready to cook. (John's watching tv in the
background.)

John bought enough steak to feed an army! When he asked the butcher to
cut him a 'big' steak I think they thought he wanted half a cow!

I had to deal sternly with the steak to make it more manageable to
cook... there is no way I could grill a two-pound steak properly even
if we could manage to eat it all! John thought I cut the slices too
thin, but I told him that if he was still hungry at the end of the
meal I'd be delighted to cook him a second helping. Steak is too
expensive to waste, even at Christmas!

What would a steak be without fried onions and mushrooms to go with
it?

The onions and mushrooms were removed to the oven to keep warm, and I
turned the stove up full-blast to make the pan nice and hot. Our
little frypan isn't thick enough for a good steak, so I use my
caphalon skillet, and it worked really well.

And would you believe this is the steak we did NOT use? Two full meals
worth went into the freezer... (I'm not a big meat-eater, so one pound
is more than sufficient for us to share - that's four ounces for me
and the rest for John!) 'My' steak is cut into small pieces to
accommodate my appetite.

And then dinner was served...

Time for Dessert... the pie was delicious, and there's plenty leftover
to have later. You can't freeze the sour cream pie, but I'm sure that
won't present too much of a problem...

And lastly, (actually baked firstly but we ate it after dinner!) I had
a ton of pastry left over from the pie crust, so I made a coconut
slice with it... it's very simple (if you've got the pastry made
already all you need is jam, coconut, egg and sugar), and it tasted
delicious!
