Mac, yes I've put old crappy coffee in the red meat sauce version plus a half cup or so of the cheapest old burgundy or merlo wine you can find. I can tell you know this but for anybody else, for the standard red meat sauce make it the night before and let it sit. Ummmmm, ummmmm.

I've already picked up some nice tricks here, keep em coming guys. That's a good one about the scrambled eggs, Mac. The first thing I learned the hard way is TURN THE HEAT DOWN for everything except when you specifically want to sear something or I'm using a wok which I haven't done for years now.

Ok, here's a simple one. Down and dirty sweet and sour salmon. Buy a bottle of Trader Joes General Tso's sauce. Saute onions, red and green bell peppers, or yellow or orange, whatever you like, when they're about half done, put in the salmon by scooting the veggies off to the side, cover on low heat and cook the fish. Use enough veggies to serve as a side dish. When it's time to flip the fish add some diced pineapple or orange or whatever fruit you like plus the General Tso's sauce. TJ's has a tropical fruit combo in a container, sliced pinapple, mango and papaya. Those are good too. Not too much sauce, it's pretty strong. Tasty and quick like 20 minutes start to finish. I serve this with some TJ's brown rice.
