I bought a nicely marbled NY Strip steak. It was very thick and weighed
1.31 lbs. I don't have a huge appetite so I cut it into thirds and
froze two pieces into smaller steaks for later meals.

I simply seasoned the steak with S&P and sprinkled it with a little bit
of garlic powder. Let the seasonings set for a bit, then seared it in a
very hot small cast iron skillet. Turned down the heat and let it cook
to medium rare. It was practically fork tender and oh so delicious!

Before cooking the steak I boiled then smashed and roasted some multi
coloured baby potatoes. Drizzled with olive oil and smashed. Everyone
seems to have a recipe for them. All I can say is they're delicious.
Crispy outside, nice and tender inside. I sprinkled them with course
salt, pepper and crushed dried rosemary. I have to say, for a lot of
years I wasn't fond of rosemary. Too pine-like. I've since figured out
if you use it very sparingly it can be quite nice. Or perhaps as I'm
getting older my tastes are changing. If you don't like rosemary, dill
weed is nice on those smashed roasted potatoes.

No green vegetable was served. Sometimes steak & potatoes is just right.

Home made, delivered or supermarket? Even if supermarket, a glass of
nice red wine will make it enjoyable.

Supermarket. To be specific it was a Newman's Own pizza and I don't drink
wine. I was not raised in a wine/beer/liquor family so all wines taste
like vinegar to me; I just don't have the palate for the fruit of the vine.

Actually no, not with pizza but I do love milk and guzzle it just about
daily.

Our dinner tonight was marinaded pork loin and stuffing. Our marinade
has been described many times and it's not measured so never quite the
same twice but very similar.

It's a mix of hot-sweet chicken sauce, Jufran Bannana sauce, soy,
worstershire. We marinaded this set for a day in the fridge.

The chops are approximately 1 inch thick and cooked for about 10
minutes in a hot pan. Don made up some pork gravy for the stuffing and
for a rare time, we too skipped the veggie. Then again, our lunch was
completely vegetarian. We weren't very hungry, having just seen
Charlotte off to Boot Camp this morning.

You've never been in the military or you'd not say that... there'll be
a lot more people telling you what to do than you could ever imagine;
yu'd be told when to sleep, when to wake up, when to eat and when to
shit. The rulz book is humongous and you can shitcan the

Justice.

So military life is well suited for subservient people.

Military service is a great thing for many youth. It can transform a
spoiled brat with a sense of entitlement into a responsible adult that
knows there are consequences for their actions.

It frees kids from their obsessive helicopter parents and gives them a
sense of self esteem. It was not 100% effective but sure helped a lot of
young guys when we had the draft.

My daughter picked her daughter at school yesterday. She pulled into the teacher's parking lot and parked on the side while we waited in the car. My wife said that the school newsletter said not to park there - two times. She was worried. I'm thinking to myself "she's learning to bend the rules - good." I did not say that aloud. That's just my little secret.

But they all do as they're told and don't use their own brain. And
when they come out of the military, they're so not used to use their
own brain that they go nuts. Is that the scenario?

Yes, rules are for sheeple. Smart people know which ones they can
bend. Smart people don't join the military.

I had steak(top sirloin) yesterday along with fried potatoes. Regular white spuds. I sliced them into rounds and fried them in evoo. When done, I topped with apple cider vinegar and fine salt.

Both meals above sound good.

My favorite steak dinner (daughter's too) was always medium rare
steak topped with cooked onions and mushrooms, shoestring fries
(deep fried) and sweet white corn. A slice or two of buttered
bread for me too.

Gary, what kind of bread do you like? My preferred bread is a good fresh French bread. However, I usually purchase a flax seed rye bread. It's healthier and also enjoyable.
We used to get warm French bread from a local baker on Sunday after church. Wonderful stuff. The bakery was owned by a Hungarian family. Later on a Portuguese family purchased the bakery, and changed the French bread recipe. It was still good, but not as good as it was before.

My, God, man! Where are the vegetables? It's all meat and starch.

My favorite steak dinner is:
A big tossed salad.
A medium-rare ribeye topped with flake salt and freshly ground pepper.
Baked potato with butter, although I usually settle for a slice of bread
drizzled with EVOO and sprinkled with flake salt.

The bread is a rustic Italian white bread.

My favorite is a thick chuck steak grilled medium rare, about a cu.
yd. of caramelized onions /'shrooms. For a salad sliced pickled beets
with sliced pickled cukes. And naturally all washed down with a tall
Diet Sprite and Crystal Palace. We don't eat bread with a meal unless
the meal is a sandwich.

I had a vegetable soup prior to chowing down on meat and potatoes. In the broth I put garlic, ginger, cooking onion, kale and cauliflower as well as some pasta;
little tube shaped things called ditalini.

That sounds good. I'd be tempted to make that the entire meal.

Yes. I put all the veggies and pasta into a chicken stock(broth). It would have been a complete meal had I put meat in there. Maybe a few cubes of chicken or beef, or pork.

I made a fern salad for my wife's dinner. I'm still trying to get a handle of how this thing should taste. Mostly, it's shoyu, fish sauce, sugar, and vinegar. It's almost there. Maybe I'll add some anchovies.

I have and use several kinds. Depends on the meal
- rye bread
- a multigrain bread
- plain white bread
- for garlic bread, I use italian loaf rather than french.
