cold and rainy here. good day for a bowl of chili....

what you boys having???

 

[Greg]

I'm going to fry up a nice steak w/butter in a cast-iron skillet.....serve that with some Sichuan green beens, a spinach salad and a Cabernet to drink.

 

[kirscovitch]

aint nothing like a steak fried in a cast iron skillet. nice choice!

 

[Greg]

The secret is to sear it on high until you have a nice crust, flip, then transfer to a pre-heated 500 degree oven until medium rare....then remove steak and deglaze skillet with wine over a medium-high heat, add a little more butter and pour over steak.

with or without onions and 'shrooms?????

(please say with, please say with, please say with)

 

[Rich K]

Whatever crap the school decides to serve up tonight. I'm not optimistic. haha.

I'm hella-jealous of fredneck's steak dinner.

Those are fine, do them separately though.

Never done a steak on anything but a grill. Even better when it's charcoal. And count me in for the mushrooms and onions.
Rainy here, so it looks like pasta tonight.

Sushi...mmmmmm

 

[kirscovitch]

dont get me wrong, but a good steak on the grill is almost godly.
but theres something about cast iron that just says "use me!"

Rosemary noodles with rabbit Bolognese, Favas with Porcini mushrooms.

Am going to dinner tonight with friends to some swanky restaurant. I would really rather just have a pan fried steak, or some bbq ribs.

But since we are going to "The Waterboy", I picked out something I've never had before. I keep making jokes about how Adam Sandler is going to be our waiter, just to piss off the girl.

Still, we go out with these particular friends every other month to some REALLY nice restaurants. We would do it more often but we really can't afford to. This is tonights restaurant.....http://www.waterboyrestaurant.com/

Always tastes better the second day.
You should try some of my Sudden Death Sauce. Comes with a skull keychain. Tasty in a remove-the-skin-from-your-tongue kinda way.

I had lousy Mickey D's. I couldn't make the commute without food since I worked through lunch. Lousy dogfood grade beef.

 

[JRL]

Wow so many cigar smoking chefs. I am hungry now.

 

[Kenny]

I had me some good ole red beans and rice with boudin balls and shrimp etouffee.

 

[Kenny]
