The majority of Canadians expressed expressed this feeling in a national survey of consumer purchasing and meal planning decisions. The study was conducted for the Beef Information Centre by Actionable Actionable Market Research. A craving for beef is the number one motivator in the purchase of steaks, according to the survey results. While the survey didn't ask what triggers this craving, there's no doubt that barbecue aromas from your neighbour's yard are guaranteed to increase beef's taste appeal. It's "steak-out" time again and here's some tasty seasoning ideas from the Beef Information Centre.

The method known as "rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but you must use caution. To rock your vehicle, first turn your steering wheel from left to right. That will clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between "R" and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission is in gear. If that doesn't get you out after a few tries, you may need to be towed out. Be aware that spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as the tires, if you should allow them to spin at a high speed they could explode and perhaps cause an injury. Never spin the wheels above 35 miles (55 km/h) on the speedometer. For more information I can be reached at Cowan Pontiac-Buick 905-623- 3396.
