I don't know a whole lot of people who I would trust enough to make a steak for me.

Apparently, you're a whole lot pickier than I am. Naturally, I prefer to cook 'em myself, which basically means, don't cook 'em very much at all...

...but I've had bad steaks, and good steaks, and steaks in horrible diners at gawdawful hours of the morning that I'm not even certain were actually steaks, and steaks so amazing that they made me sincerely consider renouncing sex, drugs and rock'n'roll and joining a whole new religion (whether it was invented yet or not)... but I don't recall ever saying "Naw, I don't want any of that steak. I'll pass on that steak. No steak for me."

Don't get me wrong, I didn't get in the shape I am by refusing food.:D

But, if I have a choice between someone grilling for me and grilling food for myself, I will choose to cook it myself 9 times out of 10.

That's just silly. I used to feel that way myself, but the glory of "doing it yourself" is vastly overrated and the thrill wears off after a decade or two. Let the professionals handle that sort of thing. I admire your insistence on quality, but you just need to make better friends. Especially ones who know how to cook... :D

Way too long for a sig line. I'm suddenly consumed with a terrible unholy desire for steak, though...

Also, keep an eye on your mailbox.

;)

I finally ordered myself a new pocket clip to replace the one I broke on one of my para2's. I found a few decent looking titanium clips on the bay. I figured I would try a ti one beings I bend them all the time and maybe the to will hold up better to being bent back all the time.

Relax, it's absolutely 100% family-friendly. It does not involve filthy playing cards or anything like that.

Dangit... I forgot the pink glitter... :grumpy:

The steps I laid out were for a medium steak. Personally I do 3 minutes per side for medium rare. I don't like a RARE steak. I have no qualms cooking a steak however a person asks for it, except for well. If someone tells me they want one of my steaks cooked well I give them chicken breast cause they don't understand the gloriousness of steak.

One of the MOST amazing steaks I ever had was a steakhouse in Chicago named Morton's. If I remember correctly it was a 42 day dry aged rib eye. I'm not 100% sure on the number of days. It was in the 40+ day range but it wasn't THAT much more so. However this could be cut with the side of the fork it was amazing!

I usually don't get the choice of NOT cooking... Unless I'm at the gathering!

This is what I mean about making friends with people who know how to cook ...

I'll provide the cutting implements, you do the work, we'll find someone else to pay for the groceries and we'll all share a nice meal... seems like a fair plan to me ;)

Amen.... Because obviously they don't really want steak.
 
I saw a great T shirt at a river outfitter. It said "America's National Parks...Come on vacation, leave on probation." On the back it said "Don't feed the rangers".
 
I saw a cool shirt that says.... "Yes i do have a beautiful daughter......... I also have a gun, a shovel, and an alibi"

And a D.A.D.D. patch that says, "You hurt her, Ill hurt you" "I dont mind going back to prison"

Ill be getting both.

In a few year when my buddy's oldest daughter starts dating, this is going to be me and him.

If you show that rascal to Miss Angie, I will kick you right square in the shin. She would want to adopt it immediately and I would be "the bad guy" saying, "but honey we have enough critters already".

I suspect by the time she got here, Tara would be willing to put up a fight, so you're safe.
OTOH, show her the pic and she may be willing to come visit. :D

It'd be nice if some of these individuals came to the realization that the angry father is the least of their problems.

Maybe we need a new shirt printed. "I don't scare my daughter's boyfriends away. I'm just keeping them safe from the real threat."

Man... I'm still finding that crap all over my house!
That stuff was like powder it was so fine.
My wife was like, "Why is there pink glitter all over the kitchen?" Lol
I told her I won a contest on on BF.
Her only response was, "Hmmmm...."
I'm glad she didn't ask what else was in the box. :D

As crappy as it was dealing with all that glitter, I still got a good laugh out of it!
Damn...
