[apocalypsos]

My parents and I went out to dinner tonight, which was a gift from my mom's boss because she organized the Christmas party. And I got to have anything I wanted, so I got New York strip steak. I laugh in the face of mad cow disease. Then I get squirted in the face with milk straight from the tap, but that's a different story.

Anyway, my dad made all kinds of ewwww-faces because my mom got stuffed mushrooms and I got my steak rare. Not "run it through a warm room" rare. Not "let it look at the oven in horror" rare. No, I like my steaks to be pulled quietly aside, shown a graphic picture of alien cattle mutilations, then brought to the table properly spooked. It ain't a steak dinner unless I leave the table looking like I've performed an autopsy. (Disgusted yet? Hmm. I must not be trying hard enough.)

Oh, and watching "Sound of Music" reminds me of the great times my brother and I used to have when we were kids playing with our gigantic marionette set and spontaneously breaking out in harmony. Ah, good times. *fake happy sighs*

While I'm flipping through the channels, I adore "The Pianist", have a weird fascination with "The Poseidon Adventure" (Superpriest!), and can honestly say that "Radio Days" is the only Woody Allen movie aside from "Annie Hall" I've ever liked at all.

YES.

Naw, that's the proper way to eat a steak.

When asked how I want my steak, I tell them like Woody Harrelson in The Cowboy Way: "Knock its horns off, wipe its nasty ol' ass and throw it on a plate."

If I'm feeling eloquent, I say "Take it in the back and whisper E=mc2 to it."

I've had people make the cross out of their fingers at me for this.

Its good when its soft and chewy, but do you really like the taste of blood?

When I have dreams of eating raw meat, I know it's time for a steak.
I like mine tar-tar occationally too. Although I WILL allow them to sear each side first (helps keep the blood where it belongs, in the meat, not the plate and table)
But usually I go for med-rare. I get a little bit of everything then, brown on outside, pale inside, and raw in the middle. yummy!


"The Poseidon Adventure"
I once counted how many times Borgnine called "clair" as she died...But now I can't remember. (It was clair, wasn't it? Or have I forgotten her name as well?)

Nope. Steak dinners are absolutely no fun unless you get to mop the blood up with bread after to finish the nice piece of cow :)

Supposedly, the FDA has ruined how we order red meat cooked in this country (USA). Basically, what we call "rare" is what Europe would call "medium-rare", or so I'm told. The scale there also goes lower than rare, to they'd call "bleu" or "blue" because the meat is that cool (we'd likely call this stage of cooking "mostly dead" because "mostly dead" is "slightly alive").

I'm with you on the ordering though. I usually say "as rare as you can legally serve it to me" or "the rarest piece you can find".
