In response to your reply to Ron, above - I love steak tartare! But love my actual cooked meat well-done! Go figure. <br /><br />As to places to visit - so much more of the good old US that I'd love to see. More of CA, have never been to NM or MT or WY. And a trip to Italy with Brian would be great, too! xoxoSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311707716188002849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-53791509942146110192018-12-04T08:13:35.024-05:002018-12-04T08:13:35.024-05:00You had me scared there for a second, Valentina!

The steaks are there - 4 six-ounce filets... :) <br /><br />Japan has been high on my list, too... especially since I would love to taste sushi where it was created.

Number one on my list is Japan. As for what I want to accomplish in my life . . . . again so, so many things. I'll get back to you on that one, and move on to the recipe. :-) Love the combination of the two dishes -- so many strong, bold flavors.
