I’m drunk and tired, but post I must!
Woke up this morning and was greeted by Buddy sleeping outside my bedroom door. I thought, ah ain’t that sweet? And then I came downstairs to this:
Scratch one screen door. Now, I don’t think Buddy was trying to escape. I think he wanted to get outside to poop. Guess we’ll never know.
Of course, Buddy denies everything…
Today’s big accomplishments include getting my new grill all gassed up. And shopping for the makings of my first grilled meal here in the PI.
I checked every meat shop in Barretto before settling on these Australian ribeyes. The good news I suppose is that I bought four steaks for less than ten dollars. The bad news is you get what you pay for.
Here they are on the grill…
…and on my dinner plate. The steaks were tough. I knew as soon as I cut into one that it was not the tender and juicy meat to which I’d become accustomed. Everything else was fine.
And the company and *ahem* dessert were exquisite.
And before I pigged out as illustrated above, I achieved a long sought after goal…
…breaking the 200 pound barrier! We’ll see how long that lasts!
More to report, but too damn tired to get my mind around it now.
Laters.
Well, congrats on getting under 200 (where on earth did you find a scale in pounds?), and congrats on your, uh, tasty dessert.
Found this link for you: How to Tenderize Meat (6 Ways)
Not mentioned: pressure cooking. Fast and effective when done right.
You’re the second person to suggest a pressure cooker. Never tried but will have to look into that. Thanks for the link on tenderizing as well.
Bought the scale at the PX years ago brought it with me here. It has a setting for kgs, although I’ve been old school when it comes to the metric system….
That pic of Buddy on the steps is too funny. Glad to see that all he’s been through he still has his sense of humor. I would make an 8X10 of that pic and hang it on the wall. Peace out!
