It's very good and a little pretty in the stoneware bowls. Not exactly food porn, but top it with some coarsely ground pepper, grated parmesan and garnished with some Italian parsley, it looked quite good.

Status: offline 		Friday night we celebrated Mrs. CiH's birthday,at Prime, a great steak house just about a mile from my house. They usually have a $20 corkage and decent wine list. Started talking with the manager as he cruised by greeting customers and the owner stopped by. We talked a bit of wine & food. Now I have figured out a bit of Flickr i might get picts better.

Gorgonzola/Pear/candied pecan salad, looks nicely done.


This is what remained from my perfectly grilled USDA choice aged Ribeye, because I couldn't finish. Great Bordelaise sauce!


I'm starting to enjoy the Macbook.

Yep, what S1 said. Most of the ribeye was just fresh of the grill with mouth melting marbling, but as I was getting towards the end, I need to pour the sauce over the take home portion. Béarnaise would have been nice on a Filet, but they had all sorts of choices. I'm lucky to have a place so close. Good Beef is hard to find this far North. I do miss the Plaza III in Kansas City as well as the many places in Omaha and the Ft. worth area.

Just to give you and idea how pricey beef is up here, the local grocery Wegman's, sells 30 day aged tenderloin for $39.99/pound. That's insane. I remember living in Omaha, and going to the "OmahaSteaks or Skylark meats facility and buying the Strip steak that they considered unsightly because of a visible vein on the end of the cut for less than $3 for a 12-16 oz strip steak...w/ vein.

absolutely nothing!

it does strike me as odd that a few cuts of cow are the only pieces of meat i'm a "purist" about and refuse to doctor with anything other than s&p. there's no other meat that gets that venerable treatment. how odd...

Status: offline 		A couple weeks ago, Dodge City, Kansas, at Casey's Cowtown Club, my co-worker and I both got nice ribeye steaks. The owner was tending bar, and took our orders. One of the other servers brought out silverware, napkins, etc., and asked if we wanted anything else. My buddy opted for some Heinz 57 sauce (I can imagine the horror now occupying some readers' minds). The owner said we might want to try the steak before using any sauce. We did, and the steaks were damn good, but we also ended up hitting the 57 bottle - the meat was good without it, but also good with it, and it changes things around a little.

Status: offline 		Heinz 57 and A-1 are some of the worst food products ever invented. If you have crappy meat, make your own sauce. I'll eat tripe, headcheese, snails and such, but certain things are more enjoyed with a bit of sauce. The hot dog is a perfect example. Usually I don't sauce steaks, but I hadn't had Bordelaise in a long time. I'm a big fan of Eggs Benedict simply because a great Hollandaise sauce puts them over the top.

I do like Hot Sauces of all kinds. My favorite is homemade scotch bonnet, but I ran out and need to wait untilI go to Florida to retrieve more. You can practically eat anything with enough hot sauce. Even the nasty MRE's (meals ready to eat) from the Army include Tabasco,....as well as laxative gum.

Could be but I'll drink them right out of the bottle. Don't do it in public places, however. I knew the mention of Heinz 57 would get somebody fired up....

David, that "homemade scotch bonnet" sounds like some seriously hot stuff. I like a good "peppery" flavor, and past a point on the hotness scale I find the sauces tend to lose that; it's more just like getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer.

I like stuff in the range of Tabasco or El Yucateco Red Chile Habanero - 5000 to 7000 heat units on the Scoville scale - around the hotness of a jalapeño pepper itself, or a little hotter.

El Yucateco XXXtra Hot Habanero is 11,600 and it still has a really good peppery essence, but beyond that the heat starts compromising my ability to keep eating it.

I don't mind it hot, but it has to be flavorful, and that's why I do Scotch Bonnets over Habenero. You need to use rubber gloves, but you cut open the peppers and carefully remove the white inside connective junk and the seeds. You can put them off to the side and always add a bit if you need it hotter. The white junk is where most of the capsaicin, yet little or no flavor. All the good flavor is in the dotted orange flesh.

Exactly - "it has to be flavorful." Hey - I learned something today. I had thought that Habaneros were the same as "Scotch Bonnets," but in checking I see they're not the same.

Dave, you're right on the outer flesh and getting rid of the white stuff. Yeah, for hotness - gotta watch those seeds.
