I also wanted to add 2 more comments to Dsi1
1) I've flipped other pans of things but never a steak.
Who the hell flips a steak? I use a fork on the end
to turn it over a few times

2) On the same note, Dsi1 cooks a steak
in "a good amount of oil." Then he flips it a few
times while it's cooking? In a "good amount of oil?"
That sounds way more than a bit messy to me.

And a note to Dsi1 today, Sunday Feb 10. Looking at weather today
I see that Oahu has a big storm going on today with large
dangerous surf. You should drive to the north shore and watch
some of those awesome waves and the surfers that dare to go out
in them. Fun to do!
