Ate too much beef

Cooked a big roast tonight. Had my sister and her family over. Ate too much. Tummy hurts. At least a week of exercise and watching my diet wasted. But beef good.

Was it corned beef

Prime rib.

:smiley:

Does not compute. Especially if it was prime rib.

Nah, beef is pure muscle food. BEEFCAKE!!

props to Cartman

Mmmm, I had some delicious corned beef and cabbage on St. Paddy’s Day. There’s no such thing as too much, as long as you pace consumption over 16 hours.

wink.

I made pot roast last night. With aromatic vegetables and mushrooms. Sides were asparagus and mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband complained because, as he said, he hurt himself. However, I expect that he will want the leftovers tomorrow. Since I have mashed potatoes and gravy left over, I might try making a cottage pie, never made one before. Or I could just make beef stroganoff.

I hope you had potatoes, Yorkshires and gravy with it, just to ensure maximum tummy hurtiness?

And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.

I did this last Christmas. I made a rare roast beef tenderloin and some exquisite sauce bearnaise to go with it. Sauce bearnaise is essentially egg yolks and butter cooked together with some seasoning.

I really overdid it and I was stupefied by beef for a couple of days afterwards. But God was it good. I might be ready for a repeat of this dinner by December 2012. Maybe.

You don’t want to overdo it. A good rule of thumb is never eat more than one cow in a single meal.

How much can one cow eat in a single meal? My Google-fu is weak.

At least you ate real food. Today I ate too much Dorito. I wish I could start today all over again.

Aaah, reminds me of this great German restaurant I haven’t been to in a while because when you go there you eat so much meat you get the meat sweats.

I went to a Brazilian steakhouse on Friday so I empathize with the OP.

Where’s the beef?

it killed Red Barclay.

Why eat (much) more than you normally eat, just because it is a special occasion or it tastes good? I eat what I normally eat, maybe just a bit more, even on occasions like Thanksgiving; if there are leftovers, well, then I can eat those later.

Well, aren’t you a saint.
