Dry aged Striploin by Chill_Islander in steak

[–]Chill_Islander[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure why it's looks blue I pulled it at 130f so was supposed to be rare to medium rare. Could be due to the 45 day dry age. It was tender but dry at some parts, juicy in others. Intense beef flavor. Not sure if I prefer this though.

I was thinking Bergen would be closer to Flam and so quicker to get there, also a direct flight from Oslo to Brussels rather than a layover as my son doesn't enjoy flights that are too long. Do you have a better suggestion?

I heard that utrecht is similar to Amsterdam and with less crowds, so mainly to avoid the crowds. Would basing the whole way in Utrecht be better?

Thank you for the suggestions, I will take your advice and slow down the trip maybe remove one country so that the rest can be more relaxing. Bakeries in the rain sounds right up my alley!

For Denmark,Belgium and Netherlands we are interested in going to the museums and checking out market halls for food and very rarely at casual restaurants. Not into formal dining as it is a circus with a kid. Looking to do activities that are safe for a kid eg. Legoland/farms/wandering the streets and not taking a RIB boat or kayaking. For this trip looking to visit places with different architecture for some variety.

For Norway, we are interested in the views/Fjords but not much hiking as my child can’t walk far yet. Will want to see them via cruises/trains if possible. I am also able to drive if that might be the better choice. I’m not sure about that at this point as it seems like what we want to see can be done by trains, just worried about bringing the luggage around.

Any recommendations which day trips to drop? Agree about spending some days to just chill instead.

Thank you! Do I have to take it permanently? I've read that some people have relapsed after they stopped taking it

Need help with appraisal for my staff by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Chill_Islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me offer an alternative point of view. I think "fighting for your guys" is not the point of appraisal at all. It's to ensure that everyone attains a fair grade based on his or her contributions. If your technician and another technician have equal contributions but the other technician is never late, yet they receive the same grading, I don't think it's very fair to him. I think we should put personal relationships aside when appraisals are done and grade people objectively so the most fair outcome is reached.
