When we went shopping on Friday we picked up some beef tenderloin
steaks. I confess to being shocked at the price. I had seen the price,
$32.99/lb but the steaks on the customer side were small. I was
surprised to see the cost was a more than $38. It seems the steaks at
the other end of the tray were a lot bigger.

My wife cooked them. Mine was about perfect for me, nicely seared on
both sides and  the middle was pretty much raw.  My wife tried, but it
was too raw for her. She pre heated the air fryer for a few minutes and
then  put hers in for 5 minutes.Then it was perfect for her.

Wasn't sherry extremely popular in the 70s or did that hype not reach
the US? And now nobody drinks it until the next hype comes?

 Some people like sherry.  My wife does, and that is why we have it around the house. I can drink and enjoy a lot of different alcoholic beverages but I could never get into sherry. It is an odd sensation to sip a liquid and it's not wet. And we're talking decent sherry, not that cheap sweet crap.
   

I don't like it either, but then, I went to a sherry tasting as at uni
and got hammered. For years afterwards even the smell sickened me.
