Food redemption

Saturday morning I made a beurre rouge to go with a steak for breakfast :) Despite using Carlo Rossi wine (which tastes like old juice) the sauce actually turned out really good; I can't resist the price tag. I used some Balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, which was probably really good for the flavor. I seasoned the steak with only pepper and used salted butter, so I didn't end up even needing to add salt. I also only just seared the steak really - it was quite rare. I've never liked the idea of raw meat... only after eating sushi did I even become open to the idea. But raw beef still gives me the chills. Anyway, I didn't notice any difference between this raw beef and the way I normally prefer my steaks (medium to medium-well) except for a change in texture which I found unpleasant; it was gummy but tender rather than being a bit chewy. Don't get me wrong -- I still loved the steak and it was so flavorful. I just didn't notice any real difference between this and how it would have been had I done my usual overcooking.

Today there are grand plans for redeeming the bone marrow. Going to make a roast and some liver to go with it, and I'm going to make sure it cooks fully this time - no more of this raw cooking crap. More than one cooking adventure at once! Then again, this morning I also had grand plans of going to church and then the gym, and then I woke up at 1 so who knows what will really happen.

I did go to the gym yesterday, though. The process is slower than I would like it to be, but the workouts are getting more and more back to normal. No magic side effects of the meat diet turning me into superman, though :/ oh well. I have noticed another interesting side effect of the meat diet though - my teeth and gums seem to be healthier. If anything I've even been taking worse care of them too, by rationalizing and saying to myself, "Well, you didn't have any sugar today, so why bother?" Rationalizing is an important skill.

I went out for beer and hookah last night. Me and a couple friends (I dare you to challenge my grammar) went to Hale's Ales, which is not as good as our REAL local brewery, Silver City. It was okay, but I doubt I'll go again. Afterward we smoked some hookah (tobacco only for me) and I even got to borrow it for a while :). I constantly wonder about the health effects of light hookah smoking, and about heavy drinking, although that wasn't a problem last night. But niether of those is on the diet so I won't go into details.

I've had enough of my own rambling so time for input and output
