Saturday Beefcake

Having a conversation with Alec Musser involved talking about his good experience working on All My Children and it did not get around to discussing his nutritional tips for staying in the flawless shape he's in, not to mention that not a small part of his perfection is his creative thinking as well as emotional depth. Some were hooked even before knowing all of that. In the meantime the recipe we offer is an old favourite along with one of Alec's better photographic images in the hope that Alec is well on his way to becoming a perennial favourite.
