Steak and Blowjob Day is March 14th.

Happy Valentine's day, everyone! I just heard about the complementary holiday that follows in a month. Although it never really struck me that V-day was more for women, I guess it sort of is for most couples, so this is fair. And, anyway, it sounds fun; I haven't gone out for a steak in maybe 5 years. (I'm assuming this holiday hasn't caught on already to such an extent that we won't be able to make reservations, which is good, because I certainly don't know how to cook a good steak.)

Put it on your calendar, HLM. :)

The secret to a good steak is sloooooooow cookin'. Ah, well, not everyone woman appreciates a good Steak and BJ holiday, so I guess we should celebrate the ones that do!

Sign me up! :-)

Steak can be scary unless you have a good thermometer, preferably one that dings at you. I know people who can touch a piece of meat and tell you exactly how close it is to being done, but I'm sure not one of them. I think the trick is to a) get a GOOD piece of meat (I generally go during the slow hour and throw myself at the mercy of the butcher, admitting I don't know what I'm doing- they often have great cooking suggestions, too), and b) don't overcook it. As long as it hits, oh, 120 F, you're good, since it will probably rise to 130 or so while it rests, and that gives you a nice, rare roast. I have to say, for special occasions, I go to Whole Foods. Pricy, but the guys there know their meat and it's good.

And yes, every sentence in that paragraph can be alternately interpreted. ;-P
