  • Our little meat shop (not really a butcher) sells more Angus ribeye than literally any other retailer in America. It’s not just the best deal in [my middle of nowhere] town. It’s the best deal possible.

    My idea of an extravagant date means getting a hotel in a place likely to get hit by a hurricane. I’m not a role model.







  • Salt, pepper, both sides. Let them rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

    One was done with cast iron on an induction burner. One was done in stainless on an electric burner. My other larger burner was busy with the corn. Turn on any fans your kitchen is equiped with because it’s going to get smokey.

    Heat the burner to 400°, pat the steak dry with a paper towel, melt butter in the hot pan, add the steak, set the timer for 2 to 4 minutes depending on how done you want the steak and how thick it’s cut. Flip it. Set the timer again. Tent each one individually in foil for 5-10 minutes. Serve.

    For a more done steak than medium you may need to lower the temperature to 375 and increase the time. Or just kick out whoever wants their steak messed up.






  • I didn’t write anything down but it was something like this:

    Dice up a pound of potatoes.
    Toss in more lemon juice than seems right and some olive oil, salt and Greek seasoning.
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake the potatoes at 450 for about 25 minutes.
    Let them cool completely. Toss with a can of chickpeas, quarter cup of lemonade juice, two tablespoons of mayo, maybe 1/3 cup finely diced red onion.









  • Rupert† was only $60. But we have fed him for something like 8 years. So that’s a pretty large investment for a meal. And if you see my posts over on c/cooking you will know that I am always calculating the cost of a meal.

    Your lab has a lot more than $500 in them. Don’t undervalue them. I don’t think lab is suitable for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Have people over for dinner and charge a reasonable amount.

    † aka I wasn’t letting my wife make him Giles.
