I made the perfect steak tonight...

oven heat a cast iron pan to 500 degrees, then sear a nice 1.5 inch thick ribeye cut(covered in kosher salt and pepper) for 30 seconds on each side, then 2 minutes on each side in the oven, and voila perfect steak. take out of the pan and let sit covered for 5-10 minutes to allow it to seal in as much of the flavor and moisture as possible, and eat.

I've never ever had a better steak.

(i want to see all the blood)

there was zero blood until I ate it, the cooking method is more smoke oriented than anything.. don't make it if you live in an apartment / have a sensitive smoke alarm.

and I'll take pics next time I make it, sufu needs to see the perfection.

day 1 of chinese new year (pot luck at my granma's place)

wayet0207ada7.jpg

prepared by all the married women in my family

the pot in the middle is loosely translated as the pot-dish, which essentially layers and layers of good stuff (sea cucumber, fish maw, abalone, giant dried scallops, roast meats, mushrooms, vegetables) stewed to tender tasty perfection.

my favourite roast suckling pig (and to answer Chicken's query: no... no one actually eats the head... and i think the brains would have been dried up in the roasting process...)

Went to the Florida State Fair last night and ate some absurd stuff. Left my camera in the car, unfortunately, but I had fried Pepsi and key lime pie coated in chocolate. Fried Pepsi is sort of weird, but the key lime pie was great. Also on offer was fried cookie dough, fried oreos, varous fried candy bears, fried fruit, fried cheesecake, etc.

I also had a really awful BBQ pork sandwich (had a bone in it) accompanied by really awful french fries and sweet tea that maybe, possibly had some sugar in it.

Yeah, it's funnel cake batter with pepsi syrup mixed into it and fried, and then it has pepsi syrup drizzled over it, and is sprinkled with powdered sugar and skewered with a toothpick. Fried coke exists too, but we couldn't find any despite our most concerted efforts.
