Fun with Red Meat and Other Things
May 2, 2005I love to eat red meat. Don’t do it all the time as too much of anything is bad for you but I’m so far from being a vegetarian that I can’t help but drool when a good steak is sizzling on the grill. MMM-MMM good.
Anyway, my wife likes here meat cooked Medium. So the other day I’m grilling out and I hand her the steak I’ve prepared for her, a nice good cut of London Broil. She cuts into it too find this and says, “Oh my gosh, this is rare.”
I hand her mine. “Sweetheart, that is Medium at best. THIS is rare.”
How people can charbroil their steaks is beyond me. I wanna hear mine moo when I take a knife to it.
And on another note, Mindcrime and I are fond readers of Get Fuzzy. Very funny comic. Mindcrime is convinced that I’m Bucky the Cat and our Buddy Lutece is Satchel the dog. It couldn’t be illustrated any better in the strip that was up a few days ago. Well, at least it clears up that we now know what Lutece is doing in his spare time.
When my aunt and mom were here a few weeks ago, we took them to them to the new Outback Steakhouse. My aunt, who cannot stand raw or rare or red meat, sliced open her burger (which she ordered well done) and lo and behold there was a pink center. So, we summoned the manager over, showed it to her, and asked her to recook it. The manager had the temerity to stand there and tell us it wasn’t pink in the slightest. My aunt stuck to her guns, the burger was whisked off and half an hour later the manager brought it back. As she was putting the plate down she said, “I’m sorry, lady, but I have to tell you – we looked at your burger back in the kitchen and it was well done, not pink like you said. It doesn’t matter tho, because we cooked you a new anyway.”
I was like, “what the hell?!”
Me, I like ’em red. Knock off the horns, wipe its ass, and serve it.
This has absolutely nothing to do with your post, but: I’ve tried emailing you from both my Comcast account and my old Gloryroad account and both of them gave me very bizarre errors: “sorry,_that_domain_isn’t_allowed_to_be_relayed_thru_this_MTA”
Perhaps you’ve done something to offend the gods of Comcast?
Anyway, that thing you sent for me to look at was particularly cool. The writer(s) are doing a phenomenal job(s).
Hey Alex,
It was probably because we were moving the servers and the DNS hadn’t yet populated where you were. Or possibly we’ve somehow landed on their anti-spam list, don’t know why.
Try it again, email seems to be working fairly smoothly now.
Dude, what you have there is almost raw. Although hers definately looks medium to medium well.
45 sec – 1 min on each side. MMM Goodness. 😀
