give me a fork and let me loose in the cattle pen.


i quit cooking for my family because they all want their meat burned and then slathered in ketchup/A1.


and girlfriends better not want their steaks burnt either or they can damn well cook it themselves

Guess you're right.. I do however like the craft of making food, it's creative and makes me happy and leftovers are always awesome

You can't smoke anywhere public here.. been so for about 10 years. I have no idea about France, but we smoked everywhere in Spain

That is just horrible, then again if they paid me I would not care, it's my resources that they are ruining and my work and I do not get paid for it..



Yeah, I understand that. The only time I get spun up about it is when I'm cooking for a group of people and I spend time cooking for them, not being able to partake in the conversations and socializing because I'm cooking, and I ask how they'd like their meat grilled or something and then I go and cook it and when I serve it and finally sit down and eat with everyone, some asswipe says "Oh sorry [Cawlin] I forgot to tell you, I like mine well done!" and they expect me to get up and let my food go cold as I go and burn their food for them... or "Oh I can't eat this because I can't eat onions!" and I'll ask "Are you allergic?" "No, I just can't stand them, it's not the flavor, it's the texture" or any of the other myriad of infantile food complaints that their parents never made them grow the fk up and out of.



BBQ'ing is a lonely task unless you're a bunch of dudes and the women are inside fixing everything else, then it's awesome.. standing around the grill catching some sun sharing lies and a few cold ones.

Cooking inside isn't a problem in my condo my kitchen and my dining room is the same room so I can socialize and cook at the same time.

Yeah, I do not do vegan or allergies.. or I do not tweak my recipes after it, if there is a dietary issue I simply make something vegan enjoyable without sesamy seeds or whatever the allergy is.

My brother is tricky, he's gluten and lactose and he does not like pork.. f'kin moron that guy is, pacifist does not like weapons either or fishing or whiskey..



See, now I don't care if a vegan or someone with some sort of allergy wants me to prepare something that they've brought. If I invite people over, I will tell them what I'm planning on serving so if they have any issues I expect them to speak up if they have issues and bring something that they can eat. One friend regularly brings over these nasty vegan burgers whenever I am grilling and asks me to throw those on for him, which I am happy to do.


That also works, I'm however somehwat of a fan of Indian vegan cuisine so I happily munch down on lintles, beans, paprika, chili etc etc

but like you say if I'm grilling then I'm grilling, so bring your own vegan food.

My research is partially focused on colony forming units of E. coli found in streams and rivers.


I have some bad news for all of you.

My undergrad research was on heavy metal pollutants in streams and rivers, and comparing mRNA levels for metallothionein in Pennsylvania brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis if you prefer), as a way to determine prolonged effect on indigenous species - of course that was back in 1992 and the work was REALLY more about establishing PCR, SDS PAGE, and northern blot protocols for the lab. I didn't think properly capitalizing bacteria would actually change the nature of the message in this thread however

It doesn't change the meaning. However, if you want to talk to people like you're some kind of expert on the subject, it might be wise to use the proper nomenclature. Just saying...


My point in that last statement was that the counts of E. coli in almost all waterways is often above the EPA's definition of "safe for human contact."

I am neither a food sanitation expert, nor am I a microbiologist. I didn't put myself forward as one either. I am just a person that actually bothers to check on information - unlike the vast majority of people.


oh and... grammar burn...


Regarding CFUs of E. coli in public waterways being higher than EPA "limits", the same is true about heavy metal contaminants of mercury, cadmium, and often nickel - which really buttslammed my undergrad research because metallothionein was already at highly elevated levels in virtually all aquatic life forms I sampled... but hey, it was undergrad.

and people think i'm an asshole.


if someone doesn't like the way something tastes, telling them to "grow up" won't change the fact that they don't like the way something tastes. you might as well suggest someone grow up and learn to orgasm from a gunshot wound to the gut.

the difference between a gunshot wound and a perfectly cooked steak is.... nevermind

its like saying you dont like cheese burgers but ground beef in your mac n cheese is awesome.

"grow up" is the proper response to someone who wont eat meat because of the color of it.

If I have invited someone over for dinner I cook their food the way they like it... because they are, you know, my guests and I asked them over and knew what they wanted before I did so.


That said...


A hint of pink is perfection.


So long as all the meat got above 180° and stayed there for a few minutes or three it's perfectly safe to eat, even if it's very pink.
