"Zac Efron is a mark."  ??? In case you didn't know, "mark" is a new insult.  I'm thinking synonomous with nerd, loser, etc.  I hear the boys say the same thing about Justin Bieber.  Sure it has nothing to do with jealousy. ;)
So what does that have to do with "Cook on, Bro'!" you ask?  In Sunday's S.D. Union Tribune Parade Magazine I found a delicious, simple barbecue recipe offered up by Zac.  A few years back Cade was a huge fan of his, as he loved "High School Musical".  I thought, with it being a Zac Efron recipe, Cade might be more interested in preparing it.  Not so much.  When you're 11 "a few years ago" is long time and it's no longer cool to like HSM or Zac Efron.
Regardless, I was able to twist Cade's arm into giving me 10 min. to prepare the marinade for our tri tip steaks.  It was wonderful!  We all loved it which is rare in this house.

We served it with the Ranch-Style Beans and steamed broccoli, along with fresh watermelon.   Here's the link in case you don't get the paper.
