Ah, no its a normal filet. Maybe it´s not easy to buy in DFW, but i don´t know if this fish lives in the Gulf.

[Big Boy Laroux]

Mmmm herring. I love me some herring mit rahm, too

Amen. I know you guys are mostly joking, but I get so f'ing sick of hearing that shit. I always get my steak medium well to well. Guess what? I think it tastes 10000 times better than undercooked steak. I don't want my cow moo'ing back at me. Who gets to decide that there is a proper way to cook a food? Some people say getting it well ruins the flavor. I couldn't disagree more. To me, it is far more flavorful. Different people have different taste buds. It's a scientific fact (there's actually a chemical in broccoli that causes a certain taste reaction in some people but not others). I just hate when people act like it's blasphemy to get your steak cooked well. I think it's blasphemy to get it rare. There's my rant.

Oh, and last buy was one too many scotch's.

As long as you've tried it less cooked I'm cool with you ordering however you like it. My wife grew up in a family that always over-cooked their steaks, and she just didn't know the alternative. One of the first times we ever went out she ordered a sirloin well done, and I hung my head in shame.

Anyway, I gradually worked on her steak eating habits and she now can't believe she spent half her life eating meat well done. One of my prouder achievements within our relationship.

I brought someone to the dark side of eating steak well done. So your work has become moooooo(t).

Different strokes for everyone, obviously, but purposely cooking most (or all) of the juice out of a good steak is one of the more bizarre food decisions, imo. Do you at least stick to real fatty cuts like ribeys when you go well done? That saves it a tiny bit. Eating a well done sirloin is like eating a piece of charcoal.

[CadBane]

Eating a rare fillet is like eating a raw piece of rubber. See, I can do that too. I prefer NY strips and filets. I get them all medium well to well and they taste not like charcoal, but delicious pieces of meat.

[CadBane]

just use the report button next time

P.S. brown steak is gross

except rubbery/chewy steak is a sign of overcooking, not undercooking.

[CadBane]

I dk, I find undercooked steak to be awfully stringy and difficult to chew. I've been to Morton's, Nick and Sam's, BLT steakhouse, Ruth Chris, Del Friscos, Chop House and countless other famous steakhouses. Medium well to well tasted better every time.

[Big Boy Laroux]

i'd prefer they wheel a cow by my table and let me rip off a piece.

to each their own. but you're wrong.

next question - do you pout anything on your steak (A1, blue cheese crumbles, etc)?

[Flacolaco]

A properly cooked steak is set on an extraordinarily high temperature, burn your taint off-hot surface, browned (and generously seasoned) on both sides forming a crust...quickly. The steak largely cooks through and is allowed to rest while the juices (fat!) redistribute. If you cut it open and there is NOT any pink... You have failed at life and ruined a perfectly good piece of meat.

Pink is good. (You can quote me on this)

Still, the people who like it literally bleeding...That's kind of weird. There has to be a line somewhere.

[Big Boy Laroux]

My temp is medium rare. Always. The "rip a piece off the cow" thing was saying I'd prefer that over wel-done.

Hell no to A1. My brother always asks for A1, even at nice steakhouses, and I just roll my eyes. Like ketchup, I think steak sauce simply masks/overpowers the taste of the actual dish.

If the steak is prepared with a cornpepper rub, or bleu cheese crust, ect. I think that's fine. But no, I don't otherwise add anything to my steak.

[Big Boy Laroux]

Ok, you avoided my trap, set in an attempt to completely invalidate your opinion.

[KINGBEEF]

I just bought NBA 2K11... sick... just absolutely sick

[Murphy3]

A good steak needs nothing added...nothing at all. Perhaps an onion string falls on top of it by accident, but that is it. And yes, gotta have some pink.

This is the correct way to prepare a steak.

MEDIUM....best of both worlds....here in TX a well done steak will be burned, but anywhere else a well done steak is simply "no pink at all"...so it depends on where the steak is being prepared....chefs in TX cannot stand when someone orders a well done steak, they will then intentionally overcook it, to cruely get them to not like well done steak.

The picture, and a backstory for my inspiration behind it can be found here

[GermanDunk]

That seems to be very well made, although i actually don´t know much about body painting. It remembers me of a western, but i do not remember the title.

Very cool tat. Have any others? I absolutely loathe generic tattoos that have no meaning. But I think unique tattoos that actually have symbolism for the canvas (person) are awesome. I have one myself. Might get a second soon.

[Big Boy Laroux]

Thanks! And i completely agree. I love Well-done tattoos (as opposed to well-done steaks ) and love hearing the meaning behind them. Just going with whatever flash art is up on the walls of the tattoo place is just wrong. In fact, most great tattoo shops nowadays don't ever do flash - it's custom only.

I'm not all tatted up, just have 2 others. I do plan on getting more (forgot how addictive they are). Pain is a drug. But like you said, not going to get something just to get it. It's been about an 8 year gap between my last one and this one.

My other 2 have to do with Norse mythology - my entire mom's side is scandinavian. One is "Odin's mask" and the other is the Nordic world tree. Don't have pictures of those, though. They're smaller than my latest. They are also black-work, although solid black, not black and grey like my latest.

[CadBane]

Hey that's awesome! I've actually been considering a tattoo for a while involving Fenrir and Tyr and possibly Ragnarok (I'm a big mythology buff myself).

yeah playing with Mj would be the only reason I bought the game in the first place. I'm about to by FIFA 11 this week.

This movie had no business being as good as it was. Behind 21 Jump Street, it was my favorite of 2012.

I just sold two AR15's and two ounces of gold. Guess which fetched more money.

I'm going to buy tickets to the Super Bowl with the money.

I just bought a trip to visit a surgeon. Well, I've already visited him. I thought it would be a great idea to start playing baseball again. So, I've been playing in a wooden bat league.. Pitcher and 3rd baseman.. Too much off speed stuff I suppose. I have a major tear in my rotator cuff. The odd thing is that it doesn't hurt all the time.. sometimes it doesn't hurt at all. But try and do certain every day things and it absolutely kills me.

I knew that I hurt something in my shoulder while pitching in the game, but I didn't know what it was. Well, a couple of days later, I wanted to test my strength so I tried lifting a 35 pound weight above my head with my right arm.. I could barely manage it 1 time. In my left, I could lift it repeatedly with little problem. I did just a little research and basically knew exactly what was wrong by the time I went to the Dr...

[dirt_dobber]

Dr. Andrews to Murphy... "rub some dirt on it and get back out there."

no seriously - hope you get better. I bet that hurts.

Seriously..I can't throw a ball from my house to my back fence and it's less than 100 feet..

[saclare]

UCL tear here, but I've been able to throw through it...rotator cuffs suck.

[saclare]

As to the thread...

Alicia Keys tickets.

The way things are going, one AR might have fetched the two ounces of Gold.
