brine in what?? I use tea for my chicken

Next time you should get some tea from the Jiuhua tea plantation. They have C Cup Virgins pick your tea leaves for you... a quick summary...

The Jiuhua tea plantation in the Henan Province hires virgins with C-cup breasts to pick tea by grabbing the leaves with their lips and then dropping them into a wicker basket nestled between their breasts.

The women can not touch the leaves or the basket with their hands, and in addition to specifically requesting C-cup breasts, the plantation also requires that the women have no visible scars or wounds. According to the spokesperson for the company, this odd requirement comes from a legend about how the tea used to be picked by the mouths of fairies. With this method, the tea is supposed to be infused with the virility and purity of the virgins, which is then passed on to the person who drinks the tea.

Mock meat is for poor people.

HAHA! it is when you think about it. its price per lb is almost like beef but then you rehydrate it then it swells to 3x it's weight. i later find out tonight that it's not that palatable when cooked sans meat. i sauteed it with garlic, onion, chopped eggplant, a lil oyster sauce & black bean sauce. maybe i should have used ginger.

What do some of you cooking connoisseurs use as a marinade/rub on your steaks before grilling? I don't do a lot of cooking, but do feel I am very good on a grill with steak, pork chops, ribs, burgers, etc. For steaks and burgers I've always used basically the same thing: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian dressing mix. Just throw them all in a bowl, mix them up, and rub them on the steaks or burgers. And they always come out really good. But lately I've been wanting to try something different. So any ideas would be appreciated.

Depends on the cut and what I'm serving it with. If I'm just snacking on a sirloin or a round, salt pepper ginger garlic cayenne. If I'm grilling a t-bone or a bone in ribeye I'll just use salt pepper lemon and EVOO with about 1 to 2 minutes a side on high heat.

I like mesquite and lime marinades for ribeyes. Mustard pepper powder for hamburgers or even your favorite bbq sauce poured right in to the mix. Apple marinades also work with fatty cuts.

Steaks, just salt and black pepper. I like my steak to taste like steak. Now for burgers, I have done this for years, its so easy, I cover and mean absolutely cover the raw patties in Franks Red Hot before grilling. When they are done, theres no heat to them, just a wonderful flavor.
