Country Fried Steak with Baked Potatoes and Corn

Yesterday I made a meal for my family. Here is how I did it. First I picked out five potatoes of the approximate same size. This is so that all the potatoes cook in about the same time. Then I scrubbed and washed the potatoes. After I put them in a microwave safe container, I took out the Country Fried Steaks and warmed up the oven. After the oven was warm, I put all of the steaks into the oven on a stoneware and put the potatoes in the microwave. In thirteen minutes or so, dinner was almost done. After the potatoes and the steaks were done cooking, I put some frozen corn into the microwave for four minutes. When that was done all that was left was to serve and eat. Here are pictures.

2 large eggs

1/2 c. buttermilk (milk and lemon juice)
1 tsp. McCormick root beer concentrate

Glaze:
1 c. sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. McCormick root beer concentrate

Topping:
1 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
1 packet (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored powdered gelatin, such as Knox brand

The only difficulty with this cake was the reduced root beer and the topping. It took me several tries with my mom's help to make the topping. The reduced root beer was tedious. Everyone liked the cake. If I had to do something differently, it would be to use pre-made topping and reduced root beer.
