mircea_popescu: "I aged a 107, a 109A, and a 109 Export in a mini-fridge (this one from Avanti) set at 40°F in which I placed a small desk fan in order to allow air to circulate (I had to cut a small notch in the sealing strip around the door to allow the fan's cord to pass through), simulating a dry-aging room on a small scale.

punkman: I think best I've had was in an argentinian restaurant (imported)
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, this is a passible definition of happiness : the best steak i've had was this year.
mircea_popescu: also here, but after that.
punkman: mircea_popescu: what's the best steak you've had?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say it's the best i had, but certainly not ashamed of sharing it
los_pantalones: not the episode
assbot: Two Fat Ladies talk about Vegetarians - YouTube
los_pantalones: well, before you go on thinking you didn't

los_pantalones: there was cooking show "2 Fat Ladies" back in the day
mircea_popescu: tho i never went to 60 days o.O
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones a yes, the guy has a point as to "proper" aging. you can't do sngle steaks
los_pantalones: makes sense given the context
mircea_popescu: i read that as "serious teats"

mircea_popescu: makes the hairs stand out more
mircea_popescu: yeah i like to add a little blush to my ballsack

davout: if that's the romanian version of a tupperware meeting, sure
davout: let's light some jasmine candles and talk about our feelings
mircea_popescu: i suppose next topic is whether our husbands beat us recently, and how hard was it.
mircea_popescu: davout you can make a ham-y thing this way, if you add curing stuff inside, but just by itself it turns to...
mircea_popescu: not until your dough pierces through anyway
davout: it'll turn to ham right?
mircea_popescu: aging beef in dough is exactly thesame, sans liver (and mushrooms) and with much thicker dough : sear the steak, put it in a dough envelope, cook this and let it sit.
mircea_popescu: it's not too hard : boil liver, grind it into a paste with butter and spices ; sear a steak, cover it in sauteed mushrooms and the liver paste ; make a dough, put the whole thing in it, seal and oven.
davout: punkman: no, by aged, i mean really aged, like you have to cut the green parts off
mircea_popescu: you know how to make beef wellington ?
punkman: haven't tried that, sounds good
mircea_popescu: punkman actually, i like to age it in dough.
mircea_popescu: so i was going to make a girl read claudine a l'ecole
punkman: davout: (and i also wonder how aged beef tastes like, never had it) <- you can let a steak sit in your fridge a few days (or more if you are careful), it's usually an improvement
davout: i don't think i have :-)
mircea_popescu: what, this is sadism ? my dear boy! you ain't seen nothing yet
davout: i have this sadistic little satisfaction, knowing that log readers will have to endure this discussion about cheese and steak to be able to cross the log-reading from their todo
davout: that they don't eat at home the same way as in restaurants?
mircea_popescu: they must not eat at home like in the restaurant or something.
mircea_popescu: and yet, which is the mystery, they're not overweight these people.
mircea_popescu: if you have problems swallowing it all they'll more than happily get you some (excellent btw) malbec
