go to the BC liquor store and get a six pack of Pacific lager

If you're talking about the dark brown sauce that they put on eel,

Use it around here for lumpia, which are Phillipine eggrolls. (2nd best after the Vietnamese fried egg rolls)

Here in South Texas were are in the midst of a 16 month drought...And its springtime, that means its calfing time.

So if you want to pan roast your steak, go right ahead. Some of the finest restaurants do it that way
However, dump the marinade. Marinade are for cuts that are tough or tasteless

The trick is to use BEER.

Felony Steak Crimes include; flipping more than once (don't dizzy your meat), trying to grill frozen meat (best way to kill flavor), grilling with the lid open (burnt crispy on the outside and cold on the inside), and using way to low of heat (best way to dry out a good cut of meat)

Most marinades probably have all the salt in them you would need. Suggest don't add any salt when you marinate something.

Some Costcos and Sam's Clubs have started carrying Prime grade Ribeye and NY Strips for $8.99/lb. If you know your steaks, then you know this is a HOT deal.

NY Strip is just the right side of a T-Bone

I season it just before putting it on the grill and I've never had it get tough so it's false. Overcooking is the main reason steak ends up tough. Steak should be cooked medium-rare and never more than medium.

I can't remember the exact rational for the old custom of not salting meat before grilling...but I've watched plenty of good chefs salt, pepper, and season their cuts of meat before grilling or pan frying. I don't think it's an issue...and if salting meat was going to make it tough..wouldn't brining it really make it like shoe leather?

I have SALTED the last steak I cooked and it was very tender. I have brined my chicken ( not Turkey as I have no clue how to cook that type of fowl), and it turned out fine and not too tough, lol..

When I blacken food, I leave the cast iron pan on the heat at least 10 minutes on high. How long would you recommend heating the pan before adding oil?

if you're doing it in a pan i would highly recommend a well seasoned cast iron pan/skillet. i would use a bit of grapeseed or similar oil with a high smoke point because you want to get the pan as HOT as possible to get a good sear/crust on the steak (olive oil smokes/flashes at a relatively low temperature).
- season the steak just before you're going to drop it (any earlier and the salt will pull moisture out of the meat)
- get the pan ripping hot and place the steak in and DON'T TOUCH IT for 2 mins
- flip once and let it cook for another 2 mins
- now the sear is done, transfer it into the oven to finish cooking under gentler heat until desired doneness (touch test, timings vary depending on the thickness)
- pull it from the oven, wrap it in foil and let it sit for at least 5 mins so the juices redistribute

Just the thought of steak makes me drool. Prefer to taste steak, just grill with groundnut oil.
I use a George Forman. A pain to clean, but easier if it's warm and use kitchen roll.

Undercover IRS Agents

When someone lists you as a favorite yet no contact has ever been made,

You go on a date and the guy wants YOU to drive. Isn't this emasculating to the man to be driven around by a woman?

Seems he spent quite abit of money on this date and got "nothing in return" ( his words not mine). Honestly is there guys out there that have this kind of mentality?

I say hi to women here and sometimes don’t get any responses.

Does she deserve something? Sure, they have a child together.
Does she deserve so much? Hell, no.
He's been rich and famous for more years than she's been alive.

I consider any dumping not in person to be unacceptable.

His response "gee. thanks".

my husband took me to Las Vegas for 4 days to celebrate.

I took a vacation to California, saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time

They cut their hair shorter, dye it blond and buy a red convertible. (at least that's what they do here)

I dunno. I don't plan on turning 40 for at least another 10 years... So, 50 won't happen for another 25

I might be able to take that vacation to Ireland I have been wanting to do for years. Who knows..I might never come back lol

i put my real age up and everyone thinks i'm younger or lying...so you can't win...

Not everyone is that way. In all fairness, people do elect to not own cars for a variety of reasons. Someone who sincerely holds such an opinion should be respected for having such a principle and sticking to it (within reasonable amounts, that is).

1. AlienSecrets>>> >Can you imagine walking into a room of strangers and announcing: "my boobs are fake, so is my hair, my contacts are the reason my eyes are blue .. I hope you'll accept me as I am!" .. lol .. strikes me as it would make as much sense to put a yes to that drug question.
2. my name is matt>>>> -To ensure you'll take your clothes off again.
3. hopergroper>>>> I had preferred not to say to that question, but admitted to occasional indulgence in my bio.
4. tgtger>>>>I actually DON'T do drugs, but you choose not to believe that because you don't trust yourself, therefore you think men are liars. People like you make it harder for men and the good men that I know.
5. uthinkinboutit>>>>so what are u really saying petite.....ur upset at men because they leave a little breathing room......would u like me to tell u a few stories about the breathing room women leave....hmmmmm...?

jspudotoole>>> 1. I think there are just as many women out there that could be asked the same question!

2. valleyjavastop>>>it would be nice to have a few more options to click rather then yes or no..

3. DAKOTATRUCKCOUNTRY>>>They are probably afraid to admit that they have a drug problem, and use NO, to cover themselves. However, I hear ya, when ya say, why do they lie.

4. BRIAN10>>>> This is one of biggest beefs about this site and other internet dating sites...and OP I agree with others the topic should apply to both , men and women here.

5. thegoalisfun>>>> Good question... I wanna know why they lie about their height. I mean seriously, it's not like its subjective.

6. Jack_sprat It just leaves a trail of victims, who did not process 'due diligence'. Assume everyone lies, and you won't be disappointed.

7. Xavery>>>I have bigger issues with people who say they don't smoke and then it turns out they smoke.

8. Pucks>>>The Opening Post would be better stated as "Why do SOME men lie on the question, do you do drugs? "...this way NOT all men are classified as lying dope addicts.

9. TeddyBear_Lar>>>>This is a public forum. People must relealize that employers co workers and family members can have access to this info. Same as facebook.

1. my name is matt marijuana's not a drug. it's just a plant.
2. bcboy72 So...if we used to use but don't anymore...can we still click the "no" button?
3. blazerblazer It's hard enough to meet people without being pre-judged. -Last ... you should be able to notice a crack head meth head or coke head when you first lay eyes on them.
4. Mountain Lion 1 tobacco, alcohol ?
Let's see, if you are opposed to either or both you will not even give the person the time of day, now won't you? On to the next...
5. Tyeee First of all I think it would have been more appropriate for you to ask "Why do some men lie..." for you really have to believe that some of us do NOT do drugs (or cannabis). I know for a fact one man that does not. >>>Some of us do not stoop so low and truly are honest. I know that for a fact!
6. jspudotoole because I have physical issues that surround being a Para in a wheelchair that have me using perscrption drugs most times for infections, and sometimes for pain issues.
7. Walts More than likely "some" lie or tell a fib because they have already told the truth ... It also involves weight, smoking, marriage,description subjects also. The past while on here I have discovered the new definition of "average" when it comes to body type .>>And thus, the "fibbing", so that "some" can fit what those "others" are looking for.
8. IncognitoGuido No one is actually telling the truth on here. They are all advertising.

love_on_fire.. Remember this...what happens to fish when they swimm in shallow water??....they drown ussually..
Oh by the way to the "petite" lady above me...wear something less skimpy, because you'll catch a cold you poor thing LOL jk.

mb728 but I do have fun with all ages all sexes

I like the "divide your age in half", and that is how many years older than yourself that you can date. then you divide that number in half again, and then divide THAT number in half to get how many years younger.

I contact 10 or 12 ladies online....but some ladies when I show my pic.(bald) stop the contact ...close the MSN windows....and I never respond for my Instant mes.

It was my suggestion to go for dinner, and I'm wondering what to do if she offers to pay half the bill. Should I accept?

Is he too old to have it done?Will you find a doc that would do it at this age? Probably not. At the age of twelve a procedure like this being performed for cosmetic reasons would probably face high scrutiny from many system levels.

I get confused when reading about people's "preferences" when they use them in the context of must-haves. To me, those aren't preferences, they're requirements... and preferences aren't exclusive, whereas requirements are.

Do they mind your spelling?

After viewing my picture, I haven't heard from all except one gentlemen.

I have now begun to develop a complex about how I look, because if you guys read my profile, I believe I'm a pretty decent sort...both INSIDE AND OUT. I'm starting to give up hope;

if u dont have a picture, u should at least be able to spell/form a coherent sentence.

i thought the most important part in a relationship is not how you look is who really are ... the picture is just a compliment

I'd have a DEFINITE problem with you if I found out my 20 year old son was meeting you OR bringing you home.

would you jump in a stretch limo if it stopped and a woman/man ask if you wanted to jump in

"Most were too young, as young as 21 but only came up to meet for coffee(I guess they are curious as to what I look like). Obviously, some really only wanted to get laid and that was made clear so I stay away from that.This is my answer

This is his reply and to 3 emails. Obviously, some really only wanted to get laid and that was made "Come on get serious...You knew that before you met these guys. You were just getting your ego stroked. For once I'd love a women to actually admit that she's not reaaly looking for anything other then atention. No women your age even thinks of meeting a guy in there 20's unless she wants to get laid or to make her feel young & sexy again.Yet you can't tell me that meeting up with guys in there 20's,doesn't make you feel good inside as compared with someone in your own age brackette?Hey your forty seven, You shouldn't even think of meeting anyone thats under 37

if I am wearing thongs, I make sure I get a pedicure.

If others say you are fat or skinny tell 'em to get lost.
