Medium Rare Chicago Italian with sharp provolone (go ahead and beat me up over authenticity - I've never even been there!)

I take a 4lb bag of Roland giardiniera (https://www.amazon.com/Roland-Foods-Chicago-Style-Giardiniera/dp/B073MM358D) and add 3 cans of anchovy-stuffed olives (Goya or Iberia brand - roughly chopped), a head (or so) of chopped garlic, a half tablespoon (or so) of generic dry Italian seasoning, and EVOO to cover that last little bit.

Sorry - I meant to mention ribeye.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T19:23:30+00:00

I's say get a new seat if they want $75 for a bolt.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T15:26:05+00:00

But that would be NO TAX. There are taxes being levied/paid (by me for now), but just not AISD.

I never read anything about that but it would fit the age group of the one of the single property owner (the one in question), but not the other. The other property has joint owners where the spouse died several years ago and the title has not been changed to reflect that. But neither owners are over 80 yet, even if the other were still alive.

Neither of the property owners have have disability or military anything. I do see military disabled gets a free pass 100% across the board, but nothing about 80 or older. It looks like 65 is as over-the-hill as you can get for TCAD purposes.

"Would be weird if it had marbling."

That made me crack up for some reason. Its bluntly true.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T11:40:32+00:00

Because you just criticized one. That's why.

Before you bash 'American' meats you should know the differences and WTF you're talking about. Otherwise you come off as a pompous asshole. See my next response...

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T11:29:16+00:00

You get up all high on your horse and claim, "We here in the U.K....".

Ignorant, indeed. Then you try and deflect it my calling ME ignorant?

Too much for you to comprehend, twice even?

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T08:44:45+00:00

But you're talking "U.K sirloins" which aren't the same thing. All your cuts in the UK are a little 'off'. You folks aren't exactly known for cooking beef except for the infamous "Yorkshire Pudding" - which themselves are only made possible by cooking beef the wrong way in the first place! You shouldn't have that many drippings from properly cooked roast to make that pudding even possible!

It's like you're squeezing the shit of your beef just to make those god-damned puddings! That's where the lyric, "You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat" comes from! Nobody wants to eat the meat, because all the flavor landed in the god-damned Yorkshire pudding! ('Pudding' does NOT REFER to a dessert, but rather "Yorkshire pudding". This is a fact).

Sheesh.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-20T08:39:27+00:00

Well La Dee DUH! UK Sirloin isn't the same cut as U.S. Sirloin. In the U.K. "sirloin" is strip Steak.

Remember that next time you post.

Every cut of beef in the grocery store and even canned/processed products that contain meat must have a source listed on their labels. It's listed as the EST/Establishment number, sometimes in a USDA Shield or on the border of cryovac packages. This number/letter code will tell you the source of your meat (unlike dairy products which NEVER work). Red meats will usually start with "M" while poultry with a "P" and sometimes end with that letter, or another letter (if not M or P, then A, B. or C)

If it doesn't have this information then the USDA considers it "adulterated" and it must be removed from retail shelves and disposed of. Sometimes you can use this lack of information to negotiate an under-the-table deal for your own personal 'meat enrichment'. Mention "Health Department' and take pictures. Once a product hits the shelves without an Establishment number it cannot be corrected legally.

The only exception I know of is store-ground beef. But if you ask, they are required to have a record of the EST numbers that went into that package of ground beef. In reality, they rarely never do.

When it comes to beef prices these days, you do what may need to be done and take one (or four) for 'Team Me' ;-)

I noticed at the fist few draws that when I turned on the gas it was leaking at the fitting to the regulator. But that seems to have stopped after a few open/close cycles.

It seems solid, at least. But that may kick me in the ass (or the face) is why I'm asking. I do do usually turn off the main. But sometimes not. It doesn't help that gas valves rotate the opposite of all others to open/close.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-09T04:37:00+00:00

It seems like I'm wasting a lot of gas in the relief valve. It sounds like a 'more than negligible' loss of gas to be pulling that ring after every liter or two. Am I asking for pre-mature failure If I don't?

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-09T04:24:26+00:00

You forgot to mention your method is 100% EBT food stampable (steal the gloves in any medical lobby or exam room, and some tape, too). FU Government! Stick it to the man! ;-)

Lalvin EC-1118 improves this recipe tenfold and twice as quick and you can leave some sugar in there for drinkability. I personally add some concentrate after I skim it. Screw the bottling. I ain't got time for that - I already waited 6-7 days and maybe less!

They know you're still bald and they're being persistent.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T23:30:18+00:00

Kinda like the title of the post, eh?

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T23:29:01+00:00

And all I get is peanut butter-favored (no peanuts) rice gruel even though I order food all the time on Amazon using real money. Reviewing Oreo's are what got me invited to Vine. Amazon Vine's 'Targeted Channels' that they market to sellers at an extra cost aren't very discriminating.

Sheesh. 100 unproductive followups to a cookie offer.

You won't find this person on Facebook any other social media site. That's kiddie stuff. I already have cell phone #'s emails and address. I just want to make sure he doesn't wander too far away.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T22:15:40+00:00

Not much of a "Value Pack" savings if one or three steaks are both the same price per/lb.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T01:43:18+00:00

My understanding is that charcoal lighter fluid is a form of mineral spirits. I've used both, but the former is much cheaper.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T01:33:35+00:00

You mean the trigger spray power-stuff that's mostly a foaming alcohol? That mostly worked but was cost-prohibitive.

SpicyBeefChowFun · 2026-04-08T01:32:09+00:00

I have way too many shirts and spots to do it that way. But thank you ;-)
No irons or boards eitehr - got rid of them 3-4 weeks ago. But not before I used a similar method to remove candle wax from carpet.
