USMB Coffee Shop IV

I will admit most of those food photos the last couple of days look like something I would at least taste.

My boyfriend and stepdad text food pics back n forth when they go out to a really good eating place. Like a giant burger or a steak haha, food porn.

Speaking of 'food porn', today, August 13, is National Filet Mignon Steak Day. I think I must be weird since I prefer a lot of entres over a steak and on the occasion that I do have a steak, there are cuts that I prefer to filet mignon?

But speaking of 'food porn, if you are going to have a filet, which is how you want it?

Are those giant slabs of butter on the first 2? :puke:

As far as the meat itself goes, I'd take 2 or 3.

Looks like butter to me. I don't put butter on my steak. I would go for #3 of the choices offered--rare and medium rare are not appealing to me so #3 is medium--I couldn't find a medium well. No. 4 is ruined so far as I am concerned. Most good chefs include on the menu that they won't vouch for quality if they have to cook a steak well done. :)

I had an old Air Force buddy of mine visit here all the way from Dayton, Washington recently... long drive... but he had requested a nice steak. So I went to the butcher and got us both a nice, huge, thick cut Porterhouse. I fired up the grill and slapped them on and naturally we got distracted talking and I forgot them. They were kinda charred black on the one side so I flipped them quick and gave them just enough to put some marks on the other side. But when we cut into them to eat them, they were done almost perfect, and you couldn't really taste the charred stuff. They were really good. Made me happy, they were expensive steaks.

Yes a good porterhouse is good and I prefer ribeye and New York cuts over the filet. I can believe your one-side char was effective and produced good results.

These days we don't mess with the grill but I season and sear the steak well on a grill pan on the stove and then finish it in a 450 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Turns out a perfect medium every time.
 
I just got done ordering my books for this semester. Between that and the normal fees, I'd have easily been able to cover things with financial aid, but this semester the school is charging me $1000 for insurance. I am doing my PPE (basically internship) this semester, and I'll be going to a facility for 60 hours. Apparently I have to have medical insurance to do that. The thousand dollars means I'll have to pay at least a little bit out of pocket this semester, although I don't think it will be much. Still, that's a lot to pay for insurance I'm not going to actually use. :(

We call it 'Pittsburgh rare'.

Legend has it that steelworkers would pack raw steaks in their lunch buckets. A coil of glowing hot steel provided the oven. They would put their steaks in the coil, unpack the rest of their lunch, pour a cup of coffee and presto! Their steaks were charred on the outside and moist and juicy inside! Ask for a Pittsburgh rare steak here and no waiter will raise an eyebrow.
 
An elderly couple went to visit a sex therapist. The sweet old gentleman asked the therapist to observe their love making technique and advise them as to any mistakes they might make and guide them on safe, practical techniques given their age.

The therapist agreed. The couple got comfortable and made love. After observing their activities, the therapist said "I don't see any problems with you two. I suggest you carry on as normal. I do have to charge you $40.00 for the session."

"That's no problem." said the old man and he peeled two twenties from his wallet.

A week later the same couple returned to the therapist making the same request. Again, they settled into their routine and made love before the therapist.

"Again, I see no problems or abnormalities in you love making." said the therapist. "But I must charge you $40.00 for our session today."

The old man agreed and gave the therapist $40.00.

A week went by and the same couple came back to the therapist's office.

"I have observed and advised you twice in the last month and you have no difficulties, problems or abnormalities in your love making. Why are you back here again?" asked the therapist.

"Well, we can't do it at the senior center," said the old man "The Holiday Inn is $100.00 and this way I get $20.00 back from Medicare."

Put new tires on the wife's Prius then went to the MVD (DMV to the rest of the country......), in and out in ten minutes....... That was amazing!!!
 
Well... I'll find out if I sell my collector GMC truck or not today. We'll see if my friend can get the money. I hope so. I've got another Chevy Silverado already picked out to take it's place.

How is a truck almost a Chevy Silverado? :)

Wow... brain fart... no idea why I put that in there... :114:

LOL. It's okay dear. You wouldn't believe how many posts I have to go back and edit to fix really strange syntax. Sometimes our fingers just don't type what we meant to say. :) (It usually happens when I am thinking one thing and then shift course midstream to say it a different way, but I don't notice to fix all of the first sentence I started.) And no, I don't always see that it needs to be fixed until after the edit button goes away.

Not only do I find many old posts that I have no recollection of making, I find lots of old THREADS I have no recollection of making. And every now and then I read something I wrote that is so confusing it has me scratching my head to figure out what I probably meant. :)
