Funny you guys talking about steak, I need to pan fry one up soon. And also, extremely strange that this thread has morphed into a steak thread
I suppose you guys will be puts on sunglasses savoring your victory.
If you salt it and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before cooking, some interesting things happen. First, the salt draws water out to the surface. Then the salty water gets sucked back into the meat. In the process, some of the proteins near the surface are denatured. This actually helps with browning (crust formation). Then a light sprinkle of some coarse salt at the end, and the world is all good.
Well, any thread with more steak is just a plain out better thread.
If it's a loss, it's a loss. I'm honestly not that emotionally vested in it. If I lose, I'll be rethinking my own ability to project election results, but enjoying my steak anyway. I'm sure I'd get more than my share of taunting. Meanwhile, a smile will say it all from my end... also, those sunglasses
I guess I'm not sure what you heard. It's just muscle,fat, and connective tissue there's going to be some moisture in it. If eating animals bothers you much, I'd recommend against it. Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't really understand why folks that are squicked out about something having been a wandering critter keep eating them.

Yes it is. Yes... it... is.
Yeah... well... Yeah. I'm with them. I've never heard anyone use that to mean something other than mangunk, but I shall consult Urban Dictionary:

This word can be used as a noun or verb.
Silver over on 538 changed Florida to '52% Obama Win' overnight.
I'm going to laugh if Obama pulls every battleground state but NC, and pulls florida as well. I personally think Obama is going to lose CO, but win FL and all the rest Silver is predicting him to.
Wang with the Princeton Election Consortium has a much more thorough beating predicted - http://election.princeton.edu/
It's amazing just how much the statistical methods differ from the horserace that's being marketed by talking heads.
538 has Obama at 314, Princeton at 312. Who will be proven correct. Or will it be the Republican talking head from the Washington Examiner who basically has it flipped with Romney even taking Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where he is way behind.

I'm still expecting Florida to go to Romney, though the shots of lines around the block for early voting were, in a way, encouraging (at the same time as they make me hate Gov. Rick Scott and the Republicans strategies thus far regarding demographics).
High Five from me to anyone who had or has to navigate a ridiculously long line to vote. Next time the Governorship and Secretary of State is up for grabs, get some promises about early voting and polling availability on the record.
Gentlemen....behold! I have canceled out my neighbor's vote!
