Thanks for the pic. I just bought one on-line and thought I had a baby but it looks about the same size as yours. Now I can hope for blooms. I'm giving mine bright light and keeping it fairly moist. Is that right?

May I ask what is the purpose of the original post? I don't understand the "Kid in a candy store" title. -Babka

Here's the recipe calling for Pickapeppa Sauce... Thanks for the reminder Jessy...don't know why I didn't think of it before...must be the heat here has fried my brain... Backwoods Flank Steak We love flank steak and have used it many ways. Here's the recipe we marinated it in when we had the deli. It was a huge seller. In the summer we did 25 lbs worth at a time. Never had any left to pitch. We grilled it over lump charcoal and while it was cooking we would bring the marinade to a boil and cook it for about 15 min. We then sliced the steaks and poured the hot marinade over them. Backwoods Flank Steak 3/4 C soy sauce 1/3 C Pickapeppa Sauce 1/3 C worcestershire sauce 1/4 C red wine 1/4 C red wine vinegar 1 1/2 Tabsp sesame oil 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 flank steaks (about 2 1/2 lbs total) Combine the marinade ingredients in a container large enough to hold the steaks. Add the steakes and refrigerate 6 to 24 hrs... Nancy

Lars, It's more of an eclectic market. They have a large variety of things from different countries. Antone's is more of a small specialty imports store. Phoenicia is easly 10x bigger, maybe more, the size of a normal grocery store. They carry produce, fresh meats, and fish; they have an olive bar; they sell ready-made baked and cooked foods. I once ate lunch there but wasn't thrilled. They have a huge section of canned & boxed items. Plus they sell kitchen supplies such as cookware, tea sets, and all kinds of gadgets. This place has just about everything! I don't really know the nationality of the owners but I wouldn't be surprised if they were Lebonese or Greek. Antone's is still around, although I don't know which locations survive. They franchised their sandwiches so they have shops which only sell ready to eat food. They probably have one or two locations left which sell the imports as well. None near me so I never go there. Better than Antone's now is Droubi's. Same exact idea, plus they sell shwarma, falafel, tabouli, hummus, and other ready to eat items. There's one about 3 miles from my house. It's where I USED to buy import cheeses before Phoenicia opened, and it's where I still buy my Orlando jar of grape leaves for stuffing, black olives, pine nuts and walnuts.
