I Saw America in My Steak
Posted: September 4th, 2009 | Author: blake | Filed under: Kitchen Corner | No Comments »Last night Liv and I ate these gigantic Sirloin steaks in order to combat our Iron deficiencies. Â They were so thick that when I thought they were done and took them off the grill it turned out their middles were still basically raw. Â Then we ran out of gas for the grill. Â Meanwhile, Liv discovered a particular component of potato anatomy which retains the consistency of raw potato no matter how much you microwave and mash at it. Â The answer for the steaks was to put them under the broiler on hi for a few minutes, which blackened them nicely on the surface while leaving the centers pink and juicy. Â The broiler, kids. Â The broiler is great.
Also, when my steak came out of the broiler it looked just like this great nation of ours. Â I felt a deep spiritual connection with this great nation of ours as I consumed its likeness in beef form. Â Also Liv’s looked like a decapitated sea turtle head. Â I think. Â She said it looked like an old man’s head.
But I think she was stretching it a little bit. Â Clearly there was some jealousy involved regarding how the great spirit of America had decided to bless me with its meaty image. Â But you know, Liv wants to be blessed by the great spirit of decapitated sea turtle heads, who am I to stop her?
