Hi Penny,
    I like my steaks branded. Just knock the horns off, skin it, and brand
it on both sides. If it doesn't moo when I cut it, the steak is too done. I
like my hamburgers reddish brown on the outside from the smoke and done but
still juicy on the inside. No more rare hamburgers or raw oysters for me.
Pooh!!
    The "blue" you are describing is that like raw or rare to the point that
the meat is still cold? "Blue" is a term not used to describe meat in Texas.
Doesn't "bleu" in French mean just barely cooked?
