In Other Non-Bakken News
No links; stories easily found. Normally one might find these stories after the close of business, Friday night. But all of a sudden --- on a Thursday -- apparently folks are getting tired of hearing nothing but Wuhan flu.
- DOJ suddenly drops case against Flynn.
- Senate fails to override president's veto on Iran war powers.
- Texas salon owner freed after order from state Supreme Court.
- RBG takes Ninth Circuit to law school in reversal of immigration case.
- Coronavirus case fatality ratio may be 10 to 40x less severe than advertised; no worse, maybe less worse than seasonal flu.
- Vitamin D is the answer.

Caveman Grilling
I've talked about caveman grilling before. Here's a link to a "professional."
I don't know what it is about Americans -- they love to take pictures of their food. I'm no exception. LOL.
Whatever.
I cooked a t-bone steak directly on FOGO tonight. Do NOT cook directly on "standard" briquets. Wow, it turned out well.
Steak at room temperature. No olive oil or vegetable oil; putting vegetable oil directly on FOGO and you have a syrupy mess. Only a very, very simply kosher salt and pepper rub.
One-inch thick t-bone (pretty thin for real men but that's what was on sale today; $20-t-bone for $8): 2 1/2 minutes on each side, and then 15 minutes wrapped tightly in aluminum foil.
Just slightly more cooked than medium rare; if I were to do this size-steak again, I would grill each side for 2 minutes, maybe 2 1/4 minutes, but definitely a bit less than 2 1/2 minutes. That's how fast these things cook directly on FOGO.
Incredible.
The flame at the top of the picture was simply a bit of fat on fire. Didn't amount to anything (see next photo) but the fire was controlled/extinguished by simply closing all vents for about 15 seconds.
