NOTES

The Texas Roadhouse "Gold" Sirloin seasoning can be purchased at restaurant locations, or online on their website at a value-based price around $4. The seasoning is a standard rub-type seasoning that can be put on almost any meat, fish or chicken. The seasoning is best combined with grilling to enhance the flavor of meats. The rub can also be used to enhance soups, stews and even country fried steak. It is a versatile, yet simple seasoning, but it does contain a high salt concentration. For those on a salt restrictive diet, consider opting for low-salt versions of ingredients.

A simple Texas Roadhouse steak seasoning copy cat recipe can also be made by combining Lawry's seasoning salt, garlic salt, onion powder and black pepper. Combine spice mix with some Worcestershire sauce, some Dijon mustard and minced garlic to create a thick paste that can be rubbed liberally onto each side of a quality steak. This paste offers a heartier, more intense flavor that especially helps enhance lower-quality meats.


For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper to the mixture.

The Fix Analysis Kellyanne Conway as Pennywise the Clown in SNL’s biting ske

The article is okay that goes with this.
Will say that I didn't see this when it aired, nor have I watched much more than a few opening minutes of the movie IT, the older version piggybacking on the release of the remake. Stephen King movies are not something I watch. BUT the skit is horrifyingly hilarious.
Also my son had to absent himself from the room while I watch the skit on Youtube.
