Just sitting here in my cubby, doing what I do for money, when all of a sudden I get this massive craving for a big old chunk of red meat. And pepper butter-sauteed mushrooms. And a monster baked potato. And...beer.

What can this possibly mean?

WAG? It's called 'hunger pangs'! Forget whatever you were doing, and head for sustenance immediately.

Let's go hunt dinner! Anyone else in?

You've come down with "ribeye cravitis" and the only cure is the application of a large hunk of charred cow. In a pinch, a few medium rare loin lamb chops would be a good substitute.

I'm right there with you, but I'm dirt poor so I'm going to head over to the local pub and grab a burger and a couple beers.

I have to go to Weight Watchers and get weighed, but after that it's pork chop and potatoes for me (allowed on the Core plan). Ah, meat!

We're having some beautiful Porterhouses for dinner tonight... grilled medium-rare, just a little salt and pepper...

mmmmmm

There are times when the inner caveman has to have his due.

C'mon man, grab that spear and let loose the dogs!

Damn - now you got me wanting it...

Dude...where in Denver are you? I'm in Lonetree. You got a grill?

Whatever you do, do NOT cover yourself in BBQ sauce and look in your neighbors basement for food.

Damn it, now I'm craving a 18 oz. New York strip medium rare. But I'll be settling for some leftover pasta in the fridge.

Aw, man... now you've got me craving cow too!

And the wifey IM'd me a while ago and said "Curry rice for dinner?"

Curry rice? CURRY RICE?? WTF?

I sighed, and IM'd back, "OK"

:(

From Star Trek Next Generation episode Deja Q:

Q: "Ow, I think."
Dr. Beverly Crusher: "Now what?"
Q: "There's something wrong with my stomach."
Beverly: "It hurts?"
Q: "It's making noises."
Beverly: "Maybe you're hungry."

Wait, aren't you a vegetarian? Or am I mixing you up with another Doper?

Can you go hunt a wild tofubeest? Or perhaps a brandy-speckled seitan?

If you were not going to burn them I'd join you.

Does the cooking term "black and blue" strike a familiar note?

Hell yeah! Tell me this: has anybody ever cut themselves by accident, stopped the blood dripping by sucking on it, and then said 'eww, that tastes nasty'?

You don't need my reply, but no not for me. When I offer that treatment to a co-worker I do get some looks.

Black is seared on the outside and blue is the color of the cold center. I have had waiters not deliver food because they can't with steaks that rare.

Yeah, that's me too. Knock off it's horns, wipe it's butt an put it on the plate. If I want it cooked I'll have a sexy waitress breathe heavy on it for a few seconds.

Like ... meat flavored buttah!

Nahh... I prefer my NY Strip somewhere between medium and med/well... just a tiny bit of pink juice, if you squeeze it, but not any more than that...

Oh, and the local butcher shop offers marinaded steaks... they're like, as Inigo states, meat flavored buttah!! ;)

I'm a lucky man. I got home last night and my wife said, "Steak tonight?"

Oh Yeah!

Rib-eye steaks were half-price at the store. It was enough incentive to hook up the grill which was still disassembled after my move three months ago.

Baked potato on the side. Strawberries for dessert.

I win!

Steaks done to "blue" are one of the gifts of life. Eat more raw meat, it's good for you.

As a confirmed carnivore- I need to try this. Is it just for dry-aged beef or any?

That I don't know. I do all my steaks quite rare on the grill at home but blue is a better steakhouse kind of a thing.

Aparrently the hamsters ate the post that I was sure I made yesterday to this thread. I'll not retype it, suffice to say I'm taking my wife out for supper tonight. I'm not sure what she's having, but I purposely picked a place known for their delcious steak. Beer and a baked potato will, of course, be accompanying said steak!

I need to get me a girl ... one that eats meat and drinks beer.

(WhyNot, my kids and their mom are veggies. I just went along for the ride (usually) out of convenience. But I think a big, bloody hunk of pulsing meat ... I mean a rare steak ... is just the sort of symbol to confirm my break from the great herbivore.)
