Archive: July 2007 Mon Jul 9, 2007The Meat is in the Mail: Steak Having a reputation as a Meatmaster can have definite advantages. After Meatwaver Marissa instructed her father in the ways of the Meatwave, he promptly went online and submitted an order for a shipment of meat to be delivered to her, which ended up being a new bounty of meat that she decided to share with me. Ordering meat online totally confounds me. No matter if I'm at the butcher or a supermarket, I always end up looking at many, many (sometimes all) pieces of meat on hand before settling on the one that will make the journey home with me. The inability to inspect your meat before purchasing seems like you're just asking for trouble, but I do know people (including my mother) who swear by Omaha Steaks, so I was actually excited to hear about this order headed our way so I can see first hand how the mail makes meat that much more delicious.

Thu Jul 5, 2007The Forgotten Chicken I'm heading down to Houston for a quick visit to celebrate Kristin's Mom's birthday. Houston always means non-stop delicious Filipino food, as her Mom tends to feed us constantly. Lost in my thoughts of the tocino, empanadas, and adobo that are sure to grace my plate in the next few days, I remembered a remnant of the Filimeato Feast that never seemed to make it to the blog. Call it laziness or lack of time (I'm sticking with the later), but my intended post about Chicken Inasal was never written. This by no means is a reflection on the status of the dish, and it's about time I give another piece of Filipino cuisine the time in the spotlight it deserves. More and recipe after the jump >> Tue Jul 3, 200793/7: The Butter Burger Tomorrow is 4th of July and I'll make a safe bet you have a barbecue to go to and that there will be some hamburgers there. If the barbecue is your own, I expect that you'll be grinding your own meat, but what to do if it's not your own and you show up to find burgers are being made with lean ground beef, say a 93/7 (or even a 90/10) mix of meat to fat? You know this will result in dry burgers, but you also know that there probably isn't any beef or pork fat just laying around to add to the mix to fix the problem. There is a solution though, one that you should be able to whip up in a jiffy anywhere you go to save the masses from dry burger nastiness! Learn to be a burger hero after the jump >>
Mon Jul 2, 2007Swim Meat When we first moved here, we were advised by Kristin's former roommate that the Astoria Pool was dirty and to stay away at all costs. Based on her advice, we steered clear of it for three years, until the heat broke us down and we eventually could not live without the refreshing cool waters of a pool one second more. How wrong her roommate was about the pool (we have come to learn she was filled with only bad advice), it's an oasis in this hot, sticky city: clean, huge, refreshing, free, and with a decent snack bar to top it off (yay mozzarella sticks). So after an unbearably humid NYC summer week, we couldn't wait to get into the pool, which only opened this past Friday. Kristin and I were the only ones to actually make it out for a swim, but everyone joined us at the homestead afterward for the grilling of pizza, making this Swim Meat totally kick ass.
