I gave my nice KA to mt brother and his bride when theirs rolled snake
eyes. When I bought this house I decided it was time to get a nice mixer
to help with some of my big ideas. Best Buy had a big "open box" sale on
and I bought a Cuisinart. It's a pretty good mixer and certainly worth
what I paid - but I'm getting lazy as I age out so it sits, covered up
most of the time.  Bv)=

Probably a "propietary secret". And one they don't want the EPA (as it
was pre-Trump) to know about.

      Title: Donald Trump Beef Steak
 Categories: Beef, Herbs, I scream
      Yield: 1 serving

      1 lb Beef steak
           Salt & pepper
      2 tbs Olive oil
      1 ts Garlic powder
      1 ts Onion powder
      1 ts Smoked paprika
      1 ts Dried thyme
    1/2 c  Vanilla ice cream

  Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

  Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.

  In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder,
  onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.

  Rub this mixture all over the steak, making sure to coat
  it evenly.

  Once the skillet is hot, place the steak in the skillet
  and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is
  cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  When the steak is co  oked, remove it from the pan and
  place it on a plate.

  Take a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place it on top of
  the steak, allowing it to melt slightly.

  Serve immediately, and enjoy the perfect combination of
  juicy beef and sweet, creamy ice cream.

  Note: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, try
  experimenting with different flavors of ice cream. Who
  knows? Maybe strawberry or chocolate ice cream will be
  the next big thing in steak toppings!

  UDD NOTE: Are we sure that MAGA doesn't stand for "Make
  America Gag Again"???
