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.
