Beating the Meat

One day to go. People at work are wishing me luck and repeating mantras like 'beat the meat' and 'do not let it beat you' and 'just eat'. That's all well and good, but don't forget about the sides. Beating the meat is not the issue. I can beat the meat. I will beat the meat. It's when you add a couple pounds of side dishes. More updates as they become available...
