Salted a few hours beforehand, reverse seared at 250F in the oven until up to temp and seared in cast iron after hitting it with a little extra salt and pepper prior to dropping it in the pan.

I generally use the J Kenji Lopez-Alt prep method, it never fails.

Probably the strip steak. The bison was really dang good

My gut tells me “maybe”

Believe it or not, a chaotic neutral or lawful good girl with a flame throwing robot dog. There are some nuances if you’re using Pathfinder.

Not OP, but the Lodge seasoning guide is a pretty good starting point. Cast iron being used forever is proof of how resilient it can be, there’s not too many things you can do that are irreparable.

Also, you don’t really need to baby it as much as most people say. Just keep using it and it’ll keep getting better.

You just made an enemy for life!

Good lord these things were an 11/10. The peanut butter was god-like.

I feel like shrimpookies need lots of explaining.

The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

Look at Mr. “Can Afford an Old Jacket” over here.

Think of it on a scale of 1-10. High floor means it’s not a stinker, so worst ranking would be in the 4/10 - 5.5/10 range. Low ceiling means it’s not going to be an all-timer, so the best ranking would be in the 6/10 - 7.5/10 range. Basically you’ll never HATE it, but you’re also never going to LOVE it.

Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:

• See RC Cola in the store
• “Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
• Purchase and consume RC Cola
• “I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
• Several years pass, go back to step 1

As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.

Looks delicious!

Literally one guy: Man this is good whiskey, I could drink 2 or 3 of these…

I have returned from my 1,000th lifetime watch of that video to say your instincts are indeed correct.

I took ZERO offense my friend, your original comment absolutely put a smile on my face :)

This looks amazing. But it also reminds me of Hamburger Helper, in which case it’s still amazing.

Fair.

I might be drunk and hungry, for the record.

Also fair.
