    teach me the ways of the steak

    Yah, I saw that . . . It was a yummy read. I don't intend to fry steak until it gets nasty outside, prolly December or January, but I'll give it a shot around then, especially if the ducks don't cooperate. Over the summer we grilled some medallions then melted some funky herbed French cheese...

    teach me the ways of the steak

    True. I've felt good about a ~$25 steak at Twenty-Twenty-One in Philly, and at Vic&Anthony's in Houston (but you have to order the right cut). At your standard national chain, if I really want steak there, I'll just get the cheapest decent cut, order it rare, and hope they don't eff it up...

    teach me the ways of the steak

    There is a LOT of great advice here. To reiterate an earlier post, the better the cut, the less you should handle it in preparation. A nice thick ribeye goes on w/a sprinkle of cajun spices after the first flip, and a second sprinkle on the backside upon removal. A $1.99 sirloin gets hammered...

    Joke of the day

    Ron White is funny sometimes, but intentionally. Kinky Friedman, too.

    funny Roadie encounter

    This thread offends me because it reminds me that I'm fat and I never ride anymore :p Back when I thought I was fast (how long ago? Well, our road bikes were 2x6 if that helps) a friend and I were taking a leisurely ride down a backroad to a shoreline spot where we liked to get high. Same...

    Across the country in a WRX

    Nice specs on the WRX toshi! I know you're all guiddy over it. I couldn't afford a new WRX so I bought a new Saabaru. 6 wks later it already has 2800 miles. Let the mods begin :evil:

    People are weird, or storys from the hood

    You gotta change your image Tony. Obviously these chicks have you pegged for an Astros fan who likes giving money and beer to homely wimmen. I recommend you spiff up w/a Mets cap and a "No Fat Chicks" t-shirt. Is the TX Pride good? I buy LSL for $11/case. . . is there something cheaper?

    Move over Maker's Mark... I've got a new bourbon in my cabinet...

    I'm a full on EW fan now. Buying it by the jug. I did sip a shot of Knob Creek at LAX the other day ($2 shots w/your beer!). It was very sweet and buttery. Pretty good, but pretty good bourbon is wasted on me.

    Carnage

    BMX youth: just rims and hubs. Teenage years: I ate rear derailleurs like candy. MTB "adulthood": Pulverized 1 headset, stripped 1 set of cranks. I don't ride enough. My kids will out do me: The 4yo has been through 2 squeaky horns and 1 helmet already.

    On stealing bicycles... hold on before you judge like crazy

    I don't take other people's stuff unless they put it out for the garbage truck. I will take a decent bike and/or parts off a garbage pile, but the bikes on the rack belong to their owners until the uni rightfully claims them, at which point they belong to the university. At no point to do they...

    Touble connecting to my neighbors Wireless connection

    Wait. . . my wife doesn't have a sister, and her brother isn't married. How can we have the same father-in-law? I once booted up his $3k Dell to see so many damned meters and graphs (antivirus, memory tracking, system utilization, etc) I wanted to ask where the flux capacitor was. When the...

    friday thoughts: how many coworkers are mountain (or road) cyclists?

    We have over 300 employees, but I only know about half of them. Among these, I know of one "sometimes" roadie (mostly just does the MS150), and a few comfort bikers. There is a guy who used to ride mtb "B4 kids", but that's about it.

    Basic math?

    15% off at the LBS? Doesn't that put you at right about MSRP? :p

    Basic math?

    I might be wrong, but I thought Douglas was responding to BVs story of the cashier who couldn't subtract $2.80 from $5.00. If either of my kids gets to "working at the mini-golf" age w/out being able to do that math in their head, I'm gonna ground 'em until they can. It's not just 'cuz I...

    Flippin weedeater

    Nice! At least once it's straight it should last a good while. The only Echo I've played w/is the go-go gadget pruner saw. It was mean. A little finicky in the heat, but it's my fault for trimmin' in the summer.

    Flippin weedeater

    Stihl? Echo? What kinda hi-dolla trimmer do you have that you would bother fixing pieces on it? I've bought into the Ryobi disposa-part mentality. $150 over 2 years and I have a spare everything (except for the straight-shaft gears). Before that, a $70 Craftsman lasted 8 yrs w/nothing but...

    Is drilling another hole in a reciever hitch just a really bad stupid idea?

    Ahhhh. . . now I get it. My hitch rack (Saris) mounts w/either a standard hitch pin, or a threaded bolt for more alleged stability (if you insert the included square collar into the hitch). Really, w/the right size hitch pin, you could drill the rack tube on both sides and use a standard pin...
