Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

I thought Brits had to have their steaks cooked like hockey pucks.

Think you're right Froot. My mom was from England and I grew up HATING steak (she cooked it very well done). In college I had my first medium rare steak, and thought, "oh, this is what it's supposed to taste like".

Similar to me, my Mum always cooks a roast until it is grey and crumbly, wasn't until I was an adult until I discovered that it could be red

One of the things I wanted for my Dad was to try a nice juicy steak before he died, but he wouldn't touch one.
Steaks with marbling were non existent a few years ago, but now they are more common. I've even found a place here that sells USDA choice steaks so a bit of progress and can find some good meat at some places.

The blonde in the photo, Dean? Is she the competitive eater?

Nice looking steak as well. I think the older generation of steak nukers are running out now. I'd bet most 50's and younger British people prefer the medium or medium/rare steaks.

Yes (Her name is Kate Ovens) and Yes. I still struggle to find a nice steak out, but this place looked good and looking at others plates filled me with optimism. Mind you it was ?26.50.

?26-50?!!! Sack that! I grudge 18 quid at Frankie & Bennys.

My girlfriend is originally from Nebraska, and she likes her steaks well done, which is considered sacrilege there.

I don't know how she can do it. I like mine medium rare at the most.

[DanO]

Medium rare for me.

[Marko69]

Medium rare for me.

Years ago I worked for British Gas......, one particular Christmas night out at a restaurant in the Cowgate of Edinburgh, a colleague Neil said to the Waitess, "Steak, extremely rare"....., another guy, Archie said, "Extremely rare, Neil?" .... Neil said, "oh aye! Unless the blood is running down my face, I ain't happy!"
Archie ran to the toilet and threw up!

My son was just awarded an internship next semester to be a strength and conditioning coach for Wayne State with the stipulation that if he works out OK, he will become a paid (nominal) member of the coaching staff in June and automatic acceptance to Grad School in the fall.

I have no doubt he will work out OK. He is smart and this is his dream job.

Congrats to your son Marko, is that him in the picture?

[edindetroit]

Cool beans MM!

[Malto Marko]

No, Dean.

This is him.

[DanO]

Congrats to your son Alex, Malto.

[-Deborah-]

That's great news, Mark. I'm sure he'll do well.

[Malto Marko]

Thanks guys (no disrespect intended, Deb)!

It is his dream to be a strength and conditioning coach for a pro sports team or to get a few well to do clients that need a personal trainer.

This is a step in the right direction.
