Thanks everyone!

"I was going to suggest that, then I re-read the OP. Eating "better"
would suggest to me, healthier. Chicken fried steak is wonderful but not
particularly healthy. Oh what the hell. Go for it. Make a nice
buttermilk batter with egg, salt, pepper. Dredge the cube steak in some
seasoned flour then dip it in the batter and fry the suckers over
medium-high heat in a little vegetabke oil (or melted vegetable
shortening) until crispy. Top with cream gravy and be sure to put some
on the mashed potatoes, too.

So that's what a chicken fried steak is! I have a friend in TX who
keeps telling me I MUST have one, but when I saw it on the menu at a
local cafe, it said something about milk in the gravy....and being
lactose intolerant, I can't handle that. But, I reckon I can try the
steaks without the gravy....or is that sacrilege? )

I hadn't had cube steaks in years, then one of the local supermarkets
had them on sale for $1.99 a pound - and the quality is quite good!
So, I got a large package, and a bunch of these little suckers in my
freezer, waiting for me to do something interesting to them.
