I gave my neighbor a nice hunk of precious loin a couple years ago, and so help me, she used three different cooking methods on that one little piece of meat; the last one being the crockpot. I vowed I'd never waste another hunk on her again, but yesterday I gave her a whole roundsteak from my doe, and gave her instructions to sear it hard on both sides and then lower the heat until it was cooked to her taste (medium). We'll see how it goes.

She's a flight attendant and brings me bottles of neat German and Belgian beer. Got two yesterday, one with a porcelain clamp-type lid.


What fresh Hell is this?
