what are steak fries? they sound amazing!

i got some large baking potatoes and then made them into wedges so they were long. mixed them with some canola oil and a spice mix. grilled them until tender, though some were a bit more well done than others. :eek: but after they were off the grill, i put some butter and a caribbean sea salt/herb mix. pretty good.

Not sure about others, but when I think steak fries I think of just really thick french fries. I'm not sure if you have a Red Robin around you (or have ever been there), but they're the only chain I can think of that has what I would call 'steak fries' just to give you an idea.

Well, I ended up cracking open a nice 40 of Country Club. Seriously, it was sitting in the back of my fridge, and it's cold and I have another day of bar study tomorrow. Why not.

I also have a faggiolata on the stove. It's a generic term for an Italian bean dish, usually white beans (cannelini, lupini, whatever is around) sauteed with onion, peppers, and anything else in some sort of liquid. Most have a bit of an acid component. I did mine with great northerns, onion, carrot, red jalapeno, and a little bit of leftover sausage. Used lard for the soffrito base and tomato for the liquid. Touch of red wine vinegar for acidity.

Can you teach me how to be classy like you?

I don't know how to explain it, but I have a weakness for strange malt liquor.

I can't even begin to explain what a priority that food is in life for me. I love an opportunity to eat at a top restaurant, the little known dive, and everything in between.

But a cold 40 will just never offend me. My family gives me so much shit for it, especially because I have a pretty discerning taste for wine and whisky. Not so much for beer, apparently.

So if you would like some lessons in class, I think I'm up for the challenge. It'll be confusing, though.

It was a lame attempt at sarcasm, but trust me, I get it. I'm almost exactly the same way.

Kelloggs Raisin Bran is way too sweet (from HFCS perhaps) and the bran flakes cut my mouth. I also don't like the raisin it uses.

^this. I have a Costco pack sitting in my cupboard right now.
