Question:
"I am the person who recently wrote asking for a copycat recipe of Popeye's chicken ...how to.
Now, I thought of another I would like to find: when we travel from
north to south each year, we often stop for breakfast at the Waffle
houses along the roads in most towns. I LOVE the marinade they use
for their steak. Is it possible that you or anyone knows just what
it is? I consider myself an excellent cook, but cant figure out what
is in that. it has a special nice flavor. Thank you so much.
Loretta"
Answer: Posted by Charlie at the message board: "sorry Loretta but
the waffle house does not marinade their steaks"

Cooking Tips:
Make your own vanilla concentrate by placing 2 split and chopped
vanilla pods in 1 liter of vodka or bourbon. Shaking the bottle once
a day, let sit for 2-3 months, or until desired color.
Add a tablespoon of vinegar to water when boiling ribs or meat for
stews, and even the toughest meat will be so tender you can cut with
fork or will fall off the bone.
Add a little vinegar to the water when boiling vegetables to retain
color.
