Steak out
Submitted by earthling1 on Tue, 12/17/2024 - 11:15am
I'll be late for my own funeral.
Sorry about the late post. Was up late last night with an evening dinner engagement with family.
We were at the best steakhouse in Portland, The Ringside, and I splurged and had a 12 Oz. Dry aged bone_in New York cut priced at $84.
What was the occasion?
My granddaughter and her SO were flying out today to spend Christmas with his parents in Iowa and will not return until after New Years.
I'm sure those steaks are cheaper in De Moines.
So, I'll open the thread with this.
What did I miss this morning?

Hope the steak was worth it!
Those late night gigs take a toll.
We don't spring back as quick no mo.
Thanks for picking up the pieces.

I think the two
Tequila Sunrises had a little to do with it.

NJ Drone PSA
Hi all,
Just a quick PSA regarding the drone sightings in New Jersey, one of my favorite places. The well-named Garden State.
First a field guide:
This is alleged to be an actual photo from one of the drones.
happy trails all!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Do these drones have an onboard

Extreme weather event
forcast for Lewis County, Washington today. They are calling it an Atmospheric River bringing drenching rains and rising river levels.
The last time we had a storm like this I followed up the next day with a trip up to the farm to witness how high Otter Creek, which runs through my parcel, rose.
That was on December 23rd, 2019.
It was up about 2 ft. Which wasn't that bad, but what I saw shocked and delighted me.
Peering down the embankment, I saw a 2 ft. long salmon spawning with the smaller male dutifully following.
As I recall, the fingerlings grow and migrate downstream to the sea. They then spend 5 years out at sea before returning to where they were born.
I should make a trip up there and see if they've come home.

Good afternoon, e1!
A local Houston news story yesterday was about a Japanese restaurant that was now offering a bone in rib eye, special Japanese cut, for $1,000.00.
Well, whatever. I think I will pass.
I hope I am very late to my funeral, just sayin'...
Thanks for the OT, friend!

Probably Wagyu beef
Wiki says it's among four breeds of Japanese cattle bred for special marbling and tenderness.
I've been growing away from red meat for a few years now. But every once in awhile I'll splurge for a good T-bone, Porterhouse or Chateaubriand.
I haven't stopped eating red meat, just cut the portions down a lot.
I hope you are very late for your funeral too. I like having you around.
Thanks for stopping by.

I wonder if Brandon is seeking revenge on Pelosi for being part
of the group pushing him out his desire to run for reelection?

It is more like
he wants to pull the ladder up behind him. Mr. "10% for the Big Guy" Biden doesn't have just one hell of a lot of wiggle room here, to my way of thinking...
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
We should return
to the days of 90% top tax rate on earnings when the uber wealthy are still alive and inheritance taxes when they die.
And close the trust fund loopholes.

Russian Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov

FAFO!
I can't believe
Russia does not have assets in Ukraine that track their military leaders. And global oligarchs live somewhere.
just sayin'.

I guess it wouldn’t surprise you
that shitlibs are cheering his death because he’s an orc from Mordor. Bet they’d scream to high heaven if Russia murdered a Nazi in Kiev.

Speaking of Luigi they took a poll on whether people would turn him in for the reward money. Many said they would turn him in just because it’s the right thing to do.
From staunch single payer advocates to snitchers.

Yeah, but
I saw a video of something of a rave party where Mangione's face came up on the screen behind the stage and the crowd roared in approval.
So where was that poll done?
At a police chief convention?
Please don't tell me it was a CNN poll.
Give Sam a scritch for me.

Ringside
Not living in area anymore, but read where Ringside during lockdown decided to sell their steaks. The line went all the way up Burnside. It seems that over the years, the Portland area lost a lot of steak houses--just not popular anymore including those places where you got a free meal if you ate an insane porterhouse I believe it was. Is there any place that even serves prime rib anymore. Seems gourmet hamburgers has replaced the traditional steak in the area.
The Portland dining scene
has recovered magnificently. Plenty of room for growth too. Food courts are popping up everywhere offering some amazing new dishes.
The culinary school scene is thriving and turning out innovative chefs with a name to build.
It's starting to be fun again to go downtown Portland and the Vancouver waterfront.
Prime rib was on the menu last night.
Thanks for the post.

Prime rib is still a thing around here
a huge slab of bloody meat with a baked tater
for about $20 on certain nights of the week.
Would consider it, if only to bring it home,
and slap it on the grill to finish cooking it.

I'm with ya there, QMS
Gotta be closer to pink than red for me. Medium rare is my rock bottom.

Rib eye for me, no special treatment, medium rare,
goodly amount of fresh ground pepper.
be well and have a good one
