Fuck You Disgusting Flesh Ads! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

This personal form of activisim I find quite interesting.

Take a picture of yourself giving the finger to stuff you hate, like Steak.

[update: 2/28/08, veganbutterfly removed this most evocative and compelling picture. boo hoo!]

I have found the best little blog. I’m reading the whole thing today.

It’s called WhiteWhine.com

Here’s the greatest steak whine ever:

Complaint #23
“We never have seafood anymore, it’s always steak, steak, steak.”
August 7, 2007

Items from various places [old but interesting]:

• What steakhouses reveal about the weakness of the U.S. economy - Slate Magazine
• craftsteak: simplicity « just hungry.
• Recipes : Gaucho Rib-Eye Steaks : Food Network
• cupcake club: Where’s the beef? ( about a band called Palace Family Steakhouse )

Betty Rocker is an awesome, totally veteran blog all about food. This great writer has been doing the food blog thing maybe longer than there even has been a food-blog thing. She rocks, and I love her angle on things. Fresh, easy, and a little bit punk rock. Kind of like the Jamie Oliver of food blogging.

Pan Sauces, is a post she wrote back in May of 07, that just totally nails how we can be very good cooks in our kitchens with a few very simple principles, like turning the stuff left in your sautee pan ( “fond”, my sister calls it ) into the best, most natural and tasty-licious sauce.

Here she does it for “a hanger steak with the most basic of all pan sauces — just a little butter, shallot, and red wine.” The only thing we could add is our confidence in the kitchen!

If you’re in Anchorage, eat here!

And great photography too!

If you have time, take a look at Dan Hershman’s other photos too. They’re nice.

Also, if you have even more time, hike up to Anchorage and let me know how the steaks are at Club Paris.

Cooking and Screaming: Vinegar Beef

So I didn’t set out to make Vinegar Beef, but it sure did end up that way. I found arecognizable cut of meat, a T-Bone, at the MAxima, which is Lithuanian Wal-Mart, including the smell, and brought two of them home yesterday morning.

Sheer blog poetry. Wow.

Really, the whole blog is a great adventure in cooking and living abroad and coping.

Moments of Clarity: Do you Wagyu?

“Wagyu” style beef is the U.S.and Australia’s version of babying a bovine to ensure it’s bud busting bodaciousness. Boy that was bad.
