Yeah they probably do. I didn't hear anyone else complain so one steak with a little bad spot out of 8 isn't worth complaining about. It was still a good steak. I flip back and forth on what my fave steak really is. For a long time NY's were my fave, then I started favoring Rib steaks, preferably bone-in. Now with all the different cuts out there available as long as it's good quality meat I'm usually pretty happy with it.
^ I vote porterhouse, best of both worlds, strip plus a filet. 😀 Although prime cap steak is quickly rising in my estimation. Wife bought some of those yesterday from Costco along with the tomahawks. Ooh, forgot prime rib. OK, I'm in the same boat, can't pick a fave! T
Gonna be running the smoker tomorrow. Baby backs - silver skinned and rubbed StL spares - silver skinned and rubbed 2 chickens - brining Italian sausages - OEM

That looks delicorice! Soba is made of garbanzo flour, yes? Seem to recall we were doing fry breads of it a few years ago.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farinata Never heard of that dish before, socca. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farinata I've never seen chickpea flour in the store, or don't recall seeing it...T
Thanks for that link. I wasn't aware of it's origins. My wife started making it some years ago but we haven't had it for a while. It is good. I think Bob's Red Mill brand is our flour source.
Its been a fun weekend. I was full from two Costco hotdogs, so that was my dinner. Tonight is something from a steak place called Mr. Mikes. Getting my aunt a burger from there. Nothing serious but she was admitted to hospital Friday. From the MRSA infection, she has chronic health issues and pain problems. Since its government healthcare, our government decided everyone needs a family doctor. To get specialist care you need a primary doctor. Means its tough to find a primary doctor. Guidelines make it tough to get opiates at a walk in clinic. Net its easier for her to go into emergency once or twice per week for a morphine shot. Her electrical had a problem Thursday. Parents put her up at the best hotel in her town. She didn't like the room, difficult to get in and out despite being handicap. She knows the doctors in emergency very well. She told him her "problem" and he said do you want to stay here. She said yes. So he admitted her for the weekend. She is having stomach issues that makes drinking and eating difficult, so somewhat legit to be admitted.
^ Yikes. Hope it all works out. Putting our fun weekend of moving back home into proper perspective. It's a pain, but those tomahawk chops are motivating me to power through! 😀 Gonna serve the steak with rice and I have no idea what else as a side?!? Steamed broccoli! T
The king returns to his castle! 😀 After a nearly year long exile due to renovation, we moved back home today. Home is in disarray, drank our wine out of juice glasses, sliced our steak with a bread knife, etc. But, we're home. To quote Dorothy - There's no place like home. 😀 Cooking with fire! Decided for this occasion I needed to break out the heavy artillery. The Weber Ranch Kettle! Shown above on the way to conflagration. Chop after 4 min on a scalding hot plancha, A.K.A. cast iron griddle. I did 4 min per side on plancha. Then 4 min indirect. 6 min rest. Great crust on there steak. Smoky goodness. Served with a rice mix. Steamed broccoli. And enjoyed with Costco wine. T
Congratulations, brother! I have to go find something to toast your return to the digs with, as I sit to eat my herbed socca bread topped my honey orange mustard blended into an olive/hemp heart tapenade. Cheers! Tips his coconut water..... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks, Ron. I really missed grilling out, and just chilling (OK, sweating!) in the backyard. Did you bake the socca yourself? T
Yes I did. I forgot to add it was a Bob's blend of Fava and Chick Pea. I did a trial one at lunch on the stove top. Itz was ok as more of a pancake topped with jams and sunflower butter. This I did under the broiler.
Pleasee excuse my error here. I somehow repeated an earlier post. Here's the recipe I followed, adding some fresh basil and stevia leaf. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-socca-a-naturally-gluten-free-chickpea-flatbread-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-169513
^ Our Central Market carries a good assortment of Bob's Red Mill. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm there...T
