A few months ago, I was invited to present at an off-site meeting for the department I had been part of for 15 years.
I was amazed at how big the department had become since my departure…and just how many people had responsibilities that were descended from / originally part of my job.
It definitely inspires some interesting feelings.
that’s the brag
always nice when they have to replace you with 2 people
I just got an email from an insurance company, an email blast to all their advisors. It’s outlining a savings strategy using their products.
I developed the strategy lol, and passed it over to them. So, some nice confirmation that I know what I’m doing.
“The nice thing about your steak is that it doesn’t even need steak sauce, really, it just tastes good”
..our Godkid
(also amusing, and something I wouldn’t tell people IRL. She told me last night that until moving in, she didn’t know garlic comes in cloves/bulbs. She thought it was just jarlic and powder.)
If steak needs sauce, it’s not worth eating.
Some people just love sauce! I love a good steak, and I ALSO love steak sauce.
:shake2:
Duuuuuude, we gotta go for steaks in a nice peppercorn sauce some time!!! That’s some gooooood eatin’ right there!!! And you too, @NerdAlert !!!
I can go for a cheapo top round steak on needs-selling clearance with sauce.
But if you need to slather the steak, you may as well be eating Salisbury/meatloaf/etc.
“aged steak” is the proper marketing for this.
This. I will often eat steak without sauce, but I have a very long-standing fondness of A1, and Andria’s is pretty amazing. Any other sauce recs???
Also, why are you people going out for steak when you have hamburger at home?
A hamburger is not a steak?
Or
A steak is “harder” to cook than a hamburger?
Or
I don’t know where to buy a good steak to cook at home?
On grilled hamburgers - I can make a top notch juicy grilled burger using 93/7 and you won’t ever convince me that I am wrong.
My spouse makes a killer prime rib. Like, you folks WISH you were eating it right now.
Related, the first 20 years of our marriage, there was little difference between an old shoe and any beef she cooked. Until I kinda pushed that maybe she should follow directions. She looked up how to cook it some years ago, followed the directions, and now it’s magnificent.
I mentioned that she had looked it up and that’s why it was so good, and got an objection. She didn’t look it up, she has the instructions written down. Yeah, OK, they’re written down after you looked them up on the internet some years ago.
Doesn’t matter, she makes a mean prime rib now.
Agreed. I don’t need my spouse or myself to be a chef, who creates dishes. We are cooks, who follow directions that have already been vetted by chefs and thousands or millions of other cooks.
People say about our food, “Wow that was great!” I often will reply, “Recipe’s online.”
Also, I paste the recipe to Excel, parse each “step” into the several specific steps.
Online version:
“Step 1: do A, B, then C, …”
My version.
Why, yes, I’m an actuary. Why U ask?
And, yes, I would like to have some killer prime rib.
Downside is that even Wild Forks price for Prime Rib Roast, bone-in, is up to $22/lb (convert to CD and kg yourself!), so $170. Choice is $14/lb. Saw a Choice at Vons for $9/lb, probably bone-in.
Yeah, we paid $240 I think for the beef for last weekend. Geesh.
But the fish and chips were pretty cheap! Caught the perch myself, and well, potatoes.
It doesn’t do the parsing, but I’m quite fond of the Paprika app. You look up a recipe online and it downloads an ingredient list, and on a separate tab the recipe. It deletes all of the ‘I first fell in love with this dish while doing summer abroad’ bullcrap. I think it’s about $5 and no in-app purchases.
I seriously want this cookbook.
^annoyed thought.
Who reads that shit? - > jump to recipe.
