    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ingredients:

Fresh Basil (plenty)
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Lean pork steaks

Trim all of the fat from the pork steaks that you can. Heat several generous tablespoons of olive oil, then add in a generous handful of whole, fresh basil leaves. Fry briefly to release flavors, and add sea-salt to taste. Place pork steak in pan, on top of the basil. Season the uncooked side with a bit of sea salt. Flip after the first side is browned--many of the leaves will stick to the cooked side, and you want that to happen, so leave them there. Push any remaining leaves under the uncooked side, and then cook until done. Serve immediately.

Tips: Better quality pork steaks are less likely to be tough when cooked, even if they are lean. The fresher the basil, the better--if you grow in your own garden, that's perfect. You can throw in the stems too, if you can't be bothered picking the leaves off.

Result--melt-in-your mouth flavorful, tender goodness.
 
Try brining your pork in salt water for about an hour before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels after brining and before seasoning. This will help them remain much more moist and tender.
