Heads Up For You Cooking Connoisseurs


It's time for some grocery shopping and cooking advice.  How do I know?  Easy. Because I've decided it is.  See how easy that works?  Anyway, onward.

Whenever you see a tomahawk steak at the butcher's shop, walk on by.  Been there, done that.  It ain't worth paying an additional $40 for the thrill of a big bone and a little extra meat.  Here's what one looks like: 

Hmm.  Looks like a regular ribeye without the long bone.  Who would be stupid enough to buy that, other than me?  Don't answer.  Just buy a couple of regular-priced ribeyes and get on with your day.  It will save you money and taste the same.

Veal is ridiculously priced.  I'm having a veal chop tonight, just to clean out my fridge.  Save yourself some money and skip it, unless you still have a veal chop in your freezer.  Otherwise, if the urge arises, buy a hamburger and call it even. 

I prefer filet mignon cooked sous vide, finished in a piping hot skillet for a minute on each side with goat cheese and balsamic glaze on top.  Tasty. 

If you're on a keto diet, like I am, buy the garlic flavored mashed cauliflower and add cheese or sour cream after microwaving.  It cuts the bland flavor.  Otherwise, cauliflower tastes like s**t.  Alternatively, skip cauliflower altogether.  I only eat it for the fiber.  It's one of God's worst vegetables, a nose ahead of broccoli and brussel sprouts.  I can forgive God for that, but I don't know why.

Let me know if you want more culinary advice.  Naturally, I'll offer it whether you ask or not.  

Stay tuned for more of this or whatever else is on my mind.
