four F**king weeks
Tam’s got a post on (drumroll) THE BEST STEAK EVAR! Which got me thinking about the best steak I ever had. It was the end of August 1997, Princess Di was days away from cementing her place in tabloid history, and the ‘lil woman and I were in San Diego. Well, actually we’d left the country for some well deserved R&R south of the border. No not that sh*thole TJ but down Ensenada way. Not actually in Ensenada but just north in Rosarito Beach at a little place called La Fonda.
The steak, I was informed, was raised by the Ukranian / American / Mexican / Canadian owner in the pasture across the highway and was fed a diet of only grass and grain.
It was slaughtered just that morning for the evenings service.
I literally cut it with my fork.
It was un-fscking-believable.
Unfortunately it looks like Dmytriw (the owner) has since sold out and moved on.
But, like all great things, the memories are there forever.
Yeah, Sunshine week has just finished.
But you can try an FOI request to get access to what the .gov knows.
So today was, of course, International Eat An Animal for PETA Day, and while I didn’t get all creative, as in years past (rabbit, duck, gator) I did manage to eat some meat.
Some observations:
- The Barbacoa at Chipotle is Fab-U-lous.
- The Pork Gyoza and Spicy Tuna Roll were also quite good.
- All these philanthropic activities are gonna make me fat.
as of today, I will have been NOT SMOKING for two weeks.
i couldn’t resist.
This certainly bodes very well for those who value freedom & personal safety.
In a 2-1 decision, the judges held that the activities protected by the Second Amendment “are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual’s enjoyment of the right contingent” on enrollment in a militia.
The ban on owning handguns went into effect in 1976.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also threw out the district’s requirement that registered firearms be kept unloaded, disassembled and under trigger lock.
Jeez, his powers are increasing… now he doesn’t even have to be giving a speech, he just needs to be winning an oscar to drop temperatures for a whole month
