    One Century, One Road: Route 66, 'The Main Street of America,' turns 100

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far in the series is that it's not only the 100th birthday of Route 66, but also of the U.S. Numbered Highway System as a whole as well as any of the other highways that date to 1926. I have close connections to US-20 and US-51 and have pointed out the...

    Steak & eggs

    Isn't any steak a breakfast steak, depending on how hungry you are? ;)

    Seasoning dry-aged meat

    The chops turned out pretty good. I salted/seasoned them ahead of time but I also cut back on the amount, so there were no issues with saltiness. I think Swanson's is gone but I still buy the Banquet dinners from time to time when they're on sale. Sadly, it appears they don't make a bone-in...

    Stay cool everyone.

    Unfriendly numbers. We were in the low to mid 90s with the appropriately higher heat indices from Saturday through today, but the front's coming through this evening and things should be much better here before too long. No need to grill when it's like this. Steaks in the iron skillet...

    Stay cool everyone.

    I'm sorry to hear (read?) it. Without straying too far from the actual topic of this thread, what disappointed you?

    Meat People

    Did somebody say free beer?;) Edward, did you ever get to Underground Butcher back when they had a retail space? I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of a link between them and Meat People.

    Random thoughts/Off topic/Last post wins

    That's the start of a country song right there. Although to give Larry a little credit, Merle Haggard did serve time in San Quentin. And he even saw Johnny Cash do a show there.

    Random thoughts/Off topic/Last post wins

    I have a question about the the penal codes of the western United States; specifically, do any of the states have reciprocity agreements with each other? Apparently there was this guy who shot a man in Reno - a particularly heinous crime, as it was done just to watch him die - but was sent to...

    WOW!!!!! COMING - 6/22

    I mentioned National Kissing Day to my wife this morning, but she didn't seem to enthused. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested I celebrate it with her sister.

    Go Giants Seagull

    Yep, agreed...Chuck needs to get off his lazy butt and get some mowing done. ;)

    Stay cool everyone.

    About time my a**...around here this is July/August weather, and even in that context it's what used to be out of the ordinary.

    WOW!!!!! COMING - 6/22

    Throw an eclair into the mix...seems like it should also be National Go-Brush-Your-Teeth-Before-You-Even-Think-About-Getting-Near-Me Day as well.

    Cutting Up a Pork Butt for More Bark?

    So in theory if I could break down a pork butt into subatomic particles I'd have all bark and pretty much zero cooking time. Now I just have to find a grate with *really* close bars...
